R0 of 2 does mean on average, each infected person will infect 2 more.  What you are missing is the timing.  It takes several days for the virus to build up in the body to the point where you are infectious, then several days to transmit to these other people etc.  It doesn't double every day, I think in California the doubling rate was around 4 days. 

The PPP was worded so poorly that really the only condition to apply was having less than 500 employees.  From their perspective, at worst it is a business loan with an insanely low 1% rate, at a time when capital is hard to come by, and at best it is deemed legitimate payroll expenses and is "forgiven" by the government.  I don't think they envisioned when they applied that they'd be stealing it from real small business owners and the PR ramifications of it, but the banks stepped up big time for their largest clients and made sure they got paid first.  'murica.

He’s trying to get laid at poetry class 

I don't care for the guilt by association.  I'm about as liberal you can be but I think CNN is a shit stain on America.  I'd agree if it said they were "DNC Media."

Well the airports are all empty so I doubt anyone was even watching CNN.

I don't know, I think any news that comes out of China like this is terrifying.  Mistakes happen, sure.  But this is a country where infant milk producers were poisoning babies for a year and the biggest concern of the Chinese government was to kill any negative publicity around the Olympics.  Any info that leaks out is just the tip of the iceberg.

If anything, your resolve is commendable. 

This thing just won't leave
 

Yeah, Sweden is sure showing up the rest of the world.
 

Those "Italians" in NY/NJ immigrated many generations ago.  There is such a big community there that they have kept their identity, but I doubt they are traveling to the "old country" very often like Michael Corleone.  Probably just common tourist destination for Americans, Chinese, etc.

Ridiculous to pin anything around coronavirus on Trump.  I think he acted pretty much in line and in time with all the western heads of state.  But he's an egomaniacal buffoon who can't hold his tongue and probably the least capable leader we could have in such a crisis, so he is an easy target.  
The whole federal government is absolutely broken.  Federal oversight was supposed to proactively protect us from foreign terrorists (nope), financial collapse due to greedy and amoral banks (nope), and now global fucking pandemics (nope).  At this rate you can bet that Skynet will become a reality and we'll be fighting AI and robots in 10 years.  
 

Sure this will end well:

So I guess the "high floor" that Dipoto and Servais raved about was AA, amazing scouting.

Yeah, keeping it real I am a solid player when consistently playing, but one of the most undisciplined players I know that never let me get to the next level. When my company was running itself I did cut out a daily schedule and tried to make a run as a full time poker player. But the discipline was tough, both with game selection and bankroll management. One week I wanted to be a tourney player, the next a cash game player, the next a SNG specialist. Just too erratic and undisciplined to make it to the big leagues. I got close after the online poker ban, it's the site I mentioned above and was in the running for tourney player of the year as far as their rankings and stats.......but.....I would win all day or be profitable then would like to drink and start playing $100 heads up games and would just get eaten alive by pros. They knew it too and would line up because they saw really bad post flop play when the booze kicked in.
That's why I admire guys like my poker coach/mentor (Ari Engel) who can consistently win, but still manages the discipline to play certain stakes/buy-ins.
Some of it was also that my income wasn't derived from poker and I, too, would get bored, especially at lower stakes. I knew dudes that could bring out $5 SNG's and made a killing while also getting PokerStars platinum perks for their volume, but it takes a level of discipline that I lack. Winning $20 at a time was just boring to me and I would start disciplined and start to fuck off and play loose or would read 2+2 while playing instead of keeping focused. I wonder if Shark Scope is still around for SNG data. There was one guy with a name like Migrid or something close that was just a fucking machine and played multi table small stakes and kill it. I got up to 4-6 tables at a time as small stake SNGs are pretty ABC basic if you are solid pre-flop. I would see this dude at every single table I was at and then some. Just wild and almost played like a bot (actually this wouldn't surprise me for the times in the early/mid 00's).
I miss the game, but would be curious to see how the game would play when legalized. Even after Black Friday and a bunch of us going to off shore/ off market sites it was just a bunch of sharks all eating each other unlike the poker boom when no one knew how to play and if you had some knowledge you could be profitable. The game is beatable now and all the education and GTO theorems are out there to where even grandpa can master the game and be a tough hand to play against. But I guess you will still always have the wanna be kid in the hoodie with glasses that saw a few Doug Polk videos and thinks he can run over a table or OMC (old man coffee) that plays beyond ABC and if he raises its only QQ+, maybe that will help balance the poker economy when it comes back. I know a bunch of middle aged dudes that just liked to play for fun and that's where the money was at.
