http://status.hackerposse.com/url/20787 Kim Jong Un a no-show at traditional celebration. People speculate about health issue. #NK #North_Korea He's basically an absolute dictator. Maybe he just got tired of honoring his grandfather's memory. Or maybe his nation's claim of zero #COVID-19 infections is false. There's really no way to tell, because despite the celebration being …

@adcock WHO may need to be taught a lesson, but not when the pandemic is just getting started in the poorer parts of the world. Besides, even when China's numbers appeared to be unrealistically optimistic (as they still do), and WHO seemed to believe what they were told, it was clear that #COVID-19 could escape and run rampant in other countries.

http://status.hackerposse.com/url/20756 [www irishexaminer com] US President #Trump suspends support payments to #WHO pending investigation. I strongly disagree with this. Wait until the world gets a handle on the #COVID-19 outbreak. Besides, even though no one may have known just how big this would become (not even WHO), it was predictable fairly early on that cases could come…

"We don’t know how horrible the economic damage will be but we know it will be huge.
And we are still nowhere near the total flu deaths we see each year."
Dude, US deaths from #COVID-19 (26,033) versus US deaths from #influenza (24K-62K). With far fewer infections, #coronavirus has already caught up.

Three #Amazon employees who were publicly critical of the company’s treatment of employees during the #COVID-19 outbreak have been fired.
Also, the #SBA expects the full !smallbiz support fund to be committed by Thursday (2020-04-16). Hopefully President #Trump and #Congress can get their acts together to add more to the pot.

My nephew's $EMPLOYER had a few #COVID-19 infected employees at that location. He says they did not clean the place and one of the sick employees came to work after suspecting the disease. He's decided to stay off-work for two weeks. I'm tempted to call his cousin ( my nephew #PizzaMan ) who also works there and ask about the conditions, but I don't know how I could do that wit…

#RIP Tim Brooke-Taylor. This hurts. To any Australian of my age 6pm was endless weekday repeats of the Goodies followed by #DrWho at 6:30. Weekend evenings were a disappointment. Damn it, #Covid-19, now it's personal. Bless him. Not many of us get to make a career out of satirising oneself. At least, not intentionally. https://microblog.mjd.id.au/url/35122

Co-worker Kenny called. He's been talking to TechTeam members throughout $EMPLOYER and has the gotten the impression that it will be months before many of us are called back to work because the agency fears that our crowded offices could be an ideal #COVID-19 breeding ground. Kenny has been off on medical leave for over a year, but says he's finally starting to feel a little b…
