    First major change in work legislation in Brasil, temporary measure decree sets work relation to anything your employer make you sign is legal and above collective conventions and government regulations.

    Also your employer can temporary fire you for 4 months without paying you nothing of your demission rights so you can do education and qualification, the employer evento can pay you students aid witch of course is not wage and need not to be above minimum wage (that per se is close to only half the costa of living here).

    If you're healthcare worker you can get into forced work and if you become infected by covid it's automatically not work rellated until you factually prove it so you're not covered by occupational injury and illness rights.

    Very effective legislation to fight viruses.

    Mainstream media started to talk about 2 years that lockdowns can continue in EU and US. And that people must leave any hope to get through this without major rights and property losses.

    TMS-65U is a decontamination vehicle designed by the soviets as a defense against chemical and biological warfare. TMS-65U uses Ural truck chassis, paired with Klimov VK-1 jet engine that was previously used on MiG-15, MiG-17 and IL-28 jets.

    Designed for disinfecting military equipment after a chemical or biological attack, this machine uses a stream of high pressure steam and disinfecting solution that's blasted through mounted VK-1. TMS-65U may be provided by Russia to Italy to help disinfect the streets to combat the outbreak of COVID-19.

    In India, lots of people ran away from the cities to the village. Smartest thing to do. Biggest problem in USA is that people chose to remain in the cities locked up in their apartments. For those of you reading this blog, just find an isolated village to live in for a few months.

    More than a billion people in India have been asked to observe a 14-hour long curfew to try to combat the coronavirus pandemic.

    Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the curfew last week, telling citizens that it would be a test in order to assess the county's ability to fight the virus.

    Mr Modi urged citizens to stay indoors from 07:00 (01:30 GMT) until 21:00 on Sunday.

    India has so far recorded 315 cases.

    Mr Modi told his followers on Twitter: "Let us all be a part of this curfew, which will add tremendous strength to the fight against Covid-19 menace. The steps we take now will help in the times to come."

    Yes. Lot of viruses are hiding in nervous system as it is place where immune system can't reach them.

    They are doing it for billions of years.

    Btw we don't have any real cure for Varicella Zoster Virus still, best drugs just slow down virus spreading as it goes via nerves to the skin. By slowing it down enough immune system has time to restore knowledge (as people who have it got it during small age) on how to kill this shit.

    @Vitaliy...oh that's supposed to make me less nervous? Like my ex girlfriend with herpes. An extremely short relationship !

    Why China had been first? This is why. And for containers (that go slowly) February had been pretty normal month, except last week.

    China halting production made all other countries lacking even usual stock of necessary things (as smart businesses outsources almost all to China).

    The most recent delivery of medical-grade N95 masks arrived from China about a month ago, on Feb. 19. And as few as 13 shipments of non-medical N95 masks have arrived in the past month — half as many as arrived the same month last year. N95 masks are used in industrial settings, as well as hospitals, and filter out 95% of all airborne particles, including ones too tiny to be blocked by regular masks.

    "Working with the Federal Reserve — we’ll have up to $4 trillion of liquidity that we can use to support the economy," he said, adding "Those are broad-based lending programs. ... We can leverage our equity working with the Federal Reserve."

    And all this trillions will go into real market now, not derivatives as before. Expect huge issues.

    Before panic suggest to read about Varicella Zoster Virus and similar things.

    Lot of population has it, and it is smart fella, constantly checking you (can sit idle for 50-60 years!) and waiting for moment that you are especially weak to make big strike.

    Small information for lovers of distant work.

    Issue with working from home is that you start to compete not with local citizens as before, but with people living anywhere in the world and with good knowledge of your work area and language. And it is bad for ya. As it means that your salary can become only 1/2 or even 1/5 of current one, and almost instantly.

    Starting today, Best Buy is limiting its US stores to “contactless” curbside service, allowing only employees into its stores, according to a statement from the company. Orders placed on the Best Buy website or via its app will be delivered to customers’ cars outside its stores by employees.

    Italy stops all production, except food, medical and such.

    The more it goes - the more it looks like complete reset of economic system.

    And it seems like Chinese meltdown will be actually last act in this drama.

    @Vitaliy_Kiselev Such a useful and true side effect. Maybe americans and europeans will be able to rush toilet paper from the banks too !

    @jleo

    Making and offering such masks is real criminal act.

    As you need to make custom masks with good replaceable filters and gel (on part touching face). Because you can use such for months.

    The 500 million N95 air-filtering respirator masks President Donald Trump said the federal government ordered could take up to 18 months to be delivered, according to the grant application. There has been a shortage of the masks, and health-care workers are being told to reuse them.

    The government is expecting the masks to be delivered incrementally, according to the application, but will allow those deliveries to occur over 18 months. Manufacturers in China aren’t able to fulfill the request.

    The US wants to remove tariffs on medical devices and masks from China. Perhaps Chinese officials will demand removal of all tariffs.

    U.S. Shows Willingness to Remove Tariffs on Medical Supplies

    The Trump administration signaled a willingness to remove tariffs on medical supplies from China as health authorities backed by U.S. businesses express an urgent need for more masks, ventilators and other equipment to suppress the coronavirus pandemic.
