@MolllyOlive I really hate that people think it's ok to fuck with people like this, especially in a "beat-a-dead-horse" sort of way. I know we've given you a little crap about this on streams, but I'd like to think we figured out pretty quickly that it's not just a quirk.
We can now read the Imperial College report on COVID-19 that led to the extreme measures we've seen in the US this week. Read it; it's terrifying. I'll offer a summary in this thread; please correct me if I've gotten it wrong.

This is the town that reported Italy's first death. A new study says they've stopped the epidemic there, cold.
How did they do it? Mass testing and isolating all positives, including those who were non-symptomatic but positive.

Lawrence O'Donnell says @RepKatiePorter saved lives today, when she got the director of the @CDCgov to say on the record in a congressional hearing that #coronavirus testing will be free for all Americans. #CoronaVirusUpdate#coronapocalypse https://t.co/6QOmvmBbUg
I want to be clear. Medical professionals are advising that unless you have serious symptoms, avoid going to the hospital/doc’s office. Stay home. We don’t currently have the capacity to test healthy people, and going to the hospital puts people at risk. https://t.co/EdBqjlRLMT
I did the math: a full battery of coronavirus testing costs at minimum $1,331.
I also did the legal research: the Administration has the authority to make testing free for every American TODAY.
I secured a commitment from a high-level Trump official that they’d actually do it.
I wanna see a version of the bachelor where 25 women slowly realize they're too good for some milquetoast loser and by the end of the season we're left with the husk of a man who's been dumped 25 times
