Tiktok has the highest % of imbeciles on it by a country mile. No other social media is even a close 2nd.

I booked through Expedia flying with Westjet. I was issued a credit with Expedia, I had to contact the westjet call centre though and they issued it on Expedia’s behalf since they’re impossible to get in contact with for a refund/credit.

^^^ yeah..... CATHAY is trying to tell me I am not eligible for a refund, I booked through flight hub and surprisingly they will issue me a refund but only when they talk to CATHAY. On CATHAYS website I am allowed a refund with no issues... back and forth BS

Folding@home is running calculations to help with COVID-19 work. You can set it to run all the time or only when your computer is idle (or change it as needed). If you have a computer of any kind (Windows/Mac/Linux) every little bit helps. I used to run it on my spare PS3, I'm tossing it on all my computers now.

I got told to fuck off/too bad so sad basically a week or so ago for my April flight to LAX on Westjet which was booked through trip.com...... but now that Westjet is cancelling all their flights I think I should be able to? Not sure how to approach it though... guess I'll be spending a lot of time on hold.

Anyone else notice how passionate this guy is!

1) Amazon to stop accepting all products other than medical supplies and household staples to its warehouses amid coronavirus crisis — read the memo it just sent sellers

Amazon told sellers and vendors on Tuesday that it was suspending shipments of all nonessential products to its warehouses to deal with the increased workloads following the coronavirus outbreak.

Amazon is now prioritizing medical supplies, household staples, and other high-demand products to its warehouses until April 5.
The change only affects shipments to Amazon's warehouses, not the last-mile deliveries to consumers.

"We are temporarily prioritizing household staples, medical supplies, and other high-demand products coming into our fulfillment centers so that we can more quickly receive, restock, and deliver these products to customers," the message read.

This support will include up to a six-month payment deferral for mortgages, and the opportunity for relief on other credit products.

yes.. you should be entitled to a full refund since they canceled the flight

Everytime I see a sign language interpreter I think of the fakes who got busted for lying about being one. You're on national TV of course you'll get called out SMH.

To add to those idiots in Florida:

Some boy band in UK had a concert last weekend :seriously:

That pharmacist guy left days ago LUL

Not sure who it was who insisted that people apologize to him, and whether they're still around. Maybe he owes us an apology? :considered:

cnn says Canada n US r preparing to cancel travel between the two countries

Canada, U.S. closing border to non-essential traffic: Trump

Non-essential travel means no more parcel pick ups in Blaine and Port Roberts?

For the people who failed this article and the prior tweet, another article from the Uk:

“Chinese govt. destroyed proof of the virus in December”

with sign language only having hand/arm movements, i'd imagine you can't articulate yourself nearly as well as with speech. a lot would get lost in translation without a doubt, so facial expression probably helps a fuck load. that guy is probably the fucking hemmingway of sign language.

Are the contents of the parcel essential to your livelihood? If so, the border guard will need to agree. If not, leave it there.

glad i got my last parcel a little while ago

the cnn article was stating that essential travel will be very broadly defined

so if you're picking up packages for say.. your business? seems like it'd be fine


kind of like how everyone thinks saying their cough/runny noses/fever is "just allergies" is cool, since everyone hearing that is just like "oh okay"

A bit skeptical to the long-term effects of this, but I'm sure it's a relieve in the short term for a lot of people affected by this.

Actually USA is way worse. Just look at history, China is probably the least aggressive nation in terms of trying to take over humanity. Germans, English, French, Japanese, Americans, etc etc.

In fact I would go so far as saying that most western countries are the same as China. Look at Italy for example, when news got out about quarantine in the north, tons of people escaped in terms of self preservation, knowingly they run the risk of infecting the rest of the country.

Communism, democracy, western media, Chinese media, Western beliefs, Chinese beliefs, same shit different pile. When shit hits the fan, ALL government will think of the greater and self preservation over looking out for individual human rights. China is just upfront about it, while western governments make you think they care about you, but deep down under it's the same.

The difference is we aren’t creating world threatening viruses through our social norms.
