You're good, give up the food to homeless

If I had to choose between being in America or Japan during this thing I'd choose Japan. Simply for the fact that Japanese are already pretty hygienic by themselves and have always been wearing masks to protect others from their germs. They're also a collectivist culture so the importance of the group is what's considered priority in stead of the importance of the individual. So I'd assume people will follow government guidelines such as isolating themselves much better. Also the US has guns and I wouldn't wanna be anywhere near people with those in times like these.

The risky part is gonna be the flight to Japan where you share recycled air with all passengers. So chance of infection is higher if there's undetected infected people in the plane. Though even if you do get it chances are likely your symptoms will get better within a couple weeks, and you'd still have your once in a lifetime chance.

Or you could wait in America and hope the japan offer still stands due to a pandemic really being a situation that's out of your control. Decision is up to you.

High-key humanity ain't s*** sooo 🤷🏽‍♂️

I think I’d rather self quarantine and not murder all the elderly in my town

I need the money

Yeah you bring up a lot of good points, I feel like as a society the Japanese are way better suited for something like this than Americans.

The biggest thing I'm worried about is catching the virus at some point while I'm in Japan (or on the plane or even before I leave) and needing hospitalization there. I don't really speak Japanese at all and I feel like getting seriously ill in a foreign country would be pretty scary. On the other hand though it seems like US hospitals are gonna be a complete s*** show pretty soon so maybe it wouldn't be so bad.

Waiting to see if I can go later is tough because this is technically my senior spring semester, so if I waited I'd be pushing back my graduation date pretty far which I'd prefer not to do.

Yea I get why you're hesitant. Its a difficult choice. Technically there's a chance you might need hospitalization, but as far as research shows now that chance is pretty low if you're not in an at risk group. Still, being hospitalized in a country where you don't speak the language is a valid concern.

I already know how this goes. Keep having to go to work until someone officially contracts the virus. Even though I have remote access and can literally do everything I need to do from home with my work laptop. For context I work for a company that has anywhere from 10k-20k people there every day smh

all the offices in my area are having ppl work from home on friday to see if it can work on a large scale

Oof your work place is a hot zone most def

That’s dope you have an option to remain home

Yeah man I’m definitely blessed because I know people are about to going to start the effects of not being able to work soon. S*** just sucks man everything in the US is reactive rather than proactive so we’re going to sit around until it’s too f***ing late

This time next week the chaos will fully set in

It’s like that over in in Aus. The gov is pouring money into businesses instead of taking action to flatten the curve . People being forced to work or starve amidst a god damn pandemic not to forget this is to the back drop of a underfunded health system

We’re f***ed

Stay strong bro we gonna make it

I’m all stocked and copping a switch soon, ready to wait this ghastly thing out

Fam it’s sickening no one at my office takes this s*** seriously at all it’s cringeworthy almost

Everyone waiting on the government to do anything before workplaces lockdown like they didn’t just completely fumble handling the fires & this is gonna be so much worse

I f***ing feel you we live amongst a lot of sheep. Scotty from marketing is going to have more blood on his hands but it’s gonna be just ridiculous this time around from what the experts are saying

Can’t help but feel helpless sometimes

from the australian formula 1 grand prix this weekend. insane that they are going through with this race, hopefully this starts a domino effect to get the race cancelled

It’ll take for the footy to get cancelled to have the country take this seriously

crazy bruh, money really clouds decisions sometimes

i'm wondering when the olympics are next. every sporting event should be locked off for this year

Dementia Don said it was a hoax what are y’all scared of

Would I look silly bringing a can of Lysol to the gym
