My guess is more cases and maybe a death. People are still voting right now, do they probably don’t want to scare people
17
Nailed it
10
The governor would be there if someone had died
1
I think they consulted Some screenwriters for this strategy
11
Any ideas what this will be?
8
I bet they will announce a death in CA
17
Other thread says two in OC.
13
Declaring a state of emergency?
6
I heard that city council was planning on voting on a state of emergency measure today so you're probably right

I'm a native too......50 years old in April
I'm more sacred of Los Angeles reaction than I am of the virus.....
Riots Part 2......just way more gnarly.

Yes. Hope you're armed

My neighbor is...

How he's your friend

I just texted him to let him know I'm down for the end of the world plan we talked about one drunken night during the Obama era....
He is ready....we are buds
We live in a fucked up area of Long Beach.....god help us
2
Also more worried about the panic than the virus. People do really dumb things when scared
1
People in LA do dumb stuff all the time .......
Who knows what will happen
1
Time will tell

About time
5
Ya. The suspense has been killing me. Everyone I know already assumed it was here
5
Yikes. Could they be locking down areas? Giving people a heads up on the timing.
5
Be ready to lockdown. They will wait as long as possible to do this but the time to be ready is NOW
9
I'm on the east coast, but I am ready just in case. Cali is thought to have the most cases in the country I would think? Even their "official" numbers are.
2
Ya. Isn't it great /s

Be safe!

“dr says y’all gonna die” 🤷🏻♀️

Yummy

Does ca even have over 500 test kits available?
3
1 test kit can test 700-800 patient samples.
1
Tested? Way under 500.
Presumptive? Shit, definitely over 500
3
8700+ under observation would make this a very realistic guess.

I think LA and OC only started testing yesterday. So I'm thinking more like 5-10 cases so far but more likely to come in the following days once they get more of the backlog cleared.
1
Maybe announcing the Kardashians are unharmed?
4
Fuuuuu
3
Very much under control here. Only 10 people have tested positive. (Of course we only had 15 tests.)
3
Yeah without testing, no one knows the true number. Could be thousands for all we know.
6
You have 2 new cases according to this
https://abc7.com/health/2-coronavirus-cases-reported-in-orange-county/5983248/
3
I'm hoping that is all
2
You have more everybody does but they need a press conference to prepare the uninformed
2
I know 😪. I was trying to convince my parents to not vote today. They still eat out 5 days a week. But I own a business for kids so I'm basically fucked too🤣🤣🤧😷
5
Eating out 5 days a week regardless of pandemic is bad for your health
4
That is why they are telling everybody now they didn't want people to not get out and vote
1
830 am, why announce it and leave us with the blue balls?
3
The election

What do we realistically think this is? Seems ridiculous to wait until tomorrow when they have an announcement.

“Major announcement”
.....
“The risk is LOW. Wash your hands!”
Bet.
Stop buying masks! We need them more!
Pence said they have 40 million masks. Don’t worry, he’s going to be personally handing them out.
"We have about, about 43 million masks stockpiled today. I want to say to your viewers though, it is not necessary for Americans to go out and buy masks," Pence said. "We have about, about 43 million masks stockpiled today. I want to say to your viewers though, it is not necessary for Americans to go out and buy masks," Pence said.
"Currently, the immediate risk is basically low at present for the time being"
"Also in the past year the flu killed more people than coronavirus has"
You mean - “Bat” as in the origin of the virus? Jk everyone is saying that now around me- For fucks sake I hope we can joke about this one day. I don’t know though....
They always say its low independent of location or for the entire usa. However the people in the USA want to know dependent upon location, not independent. What's your risk based on location?
I can’t listen to our president or vp talk anymore. Because I’m not in the category of Americans where my risk is low. There’s an outbreak happening right on top of me, and I’m wondering how many people removed am I from becoming a case.
I’m well stocked with mucinex. Blah.
