We all have varying opinions about the impact of this, the numbers, etc. We will all never agree with each other. But we can all keep it civil.

Thanks!

Because there isn’t a shutdown order preventing people from touching things. For fucks sake, everyone in that store is touching the handle on the shopping cart, the door handle to get in if they aren’t automatic, and every item they touch to put in their basket was touched by at least one person before they touched it.

Yeah but they aren't going around and touching every single computer they see like an idiot which is at minimum spreading fear.

It's already happened.

Pfister was arrested Monday.

The Warrenton Police Department said in a Facebook post that it received calls from local residents, as well as people overseas in the Netherlands, Ireland and the United Kingdom, to report the video.

"We take this incident very seriously, especially with this infectious disease and the state that the country is in," Lt. Justin Unger told NBC News. "We take these things seriously to protect our community.”

A criminal complaint states that Pfister "knowingly caused a false belief or fear that a condition involving danger to life existed" by posting the video online. He appeared in court Wednesday and is due back in May.

Gov. Phil Murphy, who mentioned the incident at a news conference Tuesday, said police responded to a call after a man was in a confrontation with a female employee of the supermarket chain and then "coughed on the woman and told her after doing so that he had the coronavirus."

It sucks but the next 14 days are going to be brutal. Hopefully the curve flattens faster and social distancing (the 60-70% of the population that is doing it) works.
Hold on just a sec. First off, anything is possible. Secondly the call of 1,000 deaths in a day was supposed to happen over 4 - 5 days ago. There is something to be said that it took longer to get there than what people were saying.

Yes, the next 14 are going to be not fun. But I think we need to focus across the entire country and not let NY be the indicator of what is or will be for everyone else.

What if someone dies or spreads the virus to others due to her actions? Bet if it was you or one of your family members you wouldn't be saying the bullshit you just posted.
So would it have been OK if she just touched one laptop she was interested in buying? What if someone was infected by it?

Everyone needs to calm the fuck down. Protect yourself as much as possible and come to grips with the fact that you are probably going to come in contact with several people who are infected.

If you can't figure out the difference between her touching one laptop she was interested in and what she did then I don't know what to tell you.

No one is panicking over this I'm just saying what she did is stupid and unnecessary. She clearly thinks this is a game and it isn't.

Why did your progressive cancer respond to treatment but someone else's not-so-progressive cancer kill them in a 3 weeks?

I just think that while it is something we want to understand we can ask that same question in just about every scenario when it comes to things like that.

Dude she was clearly touching them all for a specific reason and it wasn't to try them out. I understand what you're saying but right now it's not cool what she did.

Listen, you dumb fuck, I already said it was stupid. It’s not against the law is what I said. If you’re such a scared pussy, lock yourself in your house and we’ll see you in a few months.

It was stupid, which I already stated, but it’s not illegal.

Under the circumstances it could be. It all comes down to why she was doing it. Outside of being diagnosed with OCD what she was doing is illegal. It would be the same as screaming fire in a theater or bomb on a plane.

Here's some hope. A possible treatment that attacks the virus is going to US military trials.
