You're gonna want to be a fan of the funk for this. Stupid fun. Pretty scorching solo from Buckethead. Surprisingly heavy chorus.
How could I miss this thread? Awesome solo.

Isis issues coronavirus travel advice: terrorists should avoid Europe
The Isis terrorist group is steering clear of Europe because of the coronavirus. Having previously urged its supporters to attack European cities, the group is now advising members to “stay away from the land of the epidemic” in case they become infected.

I haven't heard anything about children and they are almost always included in these things.
Children who reportedly got contaminated:
In Belgium: 11 babies/children under 4 y.o.
In Morocco: a 9 month old baby
Several children in France
All alive as of now, apparently. There is an article that explains that children are more resistant and so far none have died from the virus.
Newborn baby tests positive for coronavirus in London
Child’s mother, who was taken to hospital days before birth with suspected pneumonia, also has virus.

Coronavirus is mysteriously sparing kids and killing the elderly. Understanding why may help defeat the virus.
One of the few mercies of the spreading coronavirus is that it leaves young children virtually untouched — a mystery virologists say may hold vital clues as to how the virus works.
In China, only 2.4 percent of reported cases were children and only 0.2 percent of reported cases were children who got critically ill, according to the World Health Organization. China has reported no case of a young child dying of the disease covid-19....

Why South Korea infections are trending down and Italy's is out of control? South Koreans listened, Italians didn't:.
“They cited irresponsible behavior by many citizens, who despite the earlier warnings not to gather in large numbers, headed to beaches or ski resorts, and hung out together in town squares, especially after the closure of schools.”
There was a guy in New York who was getting ready for a flight to Florida when he got the results that he tested positive... He got on the plane and went to Florida anyway. Heard a bunch of these stories.
In France, yesterday a bartender reported that people are still kissing each other to say hello, though they have been warned not to. And last night in Paris some pubs were packed with people sitting on each others' knees and drinking from each others' glasses, with many of those people attending private parties at their friends' afterwards. Hello? Social distancing, anyone? We will see where such behaviour leads to.

The stores here are still well stocked depending on what you are looking for. But pasta, rice, loo rolls and soaps are not available. I just don't know who is stocking up as all the people I see in the shops seem to be calmly buying supplies for a few days. I don't see anyone buy stuff in huge quantities.
I bought several packs of noodles instead of pasta, managed to find a pack of loo rolls at the pound shop. If we do anything like what is done in Italy at the moment, the food shops will remain open so there will still be a way to get something to eat. As for soap I still have a lot of fancy ones from TK Maxx, so I don't need to buy any.
I was a bit puzzled as to why people buy loads of loo rolls when my first impulse would be to focus on food and drink and some meds. (Actually I tend to forget loo rolls and have to run to the corner shop to get them 
). But when my mum returned from the hospital and wasn't able to drive, my brother bought her like, 2 packs of 30 rolls, so I suppose that's something normal people do when they stock up.
Update: the French government has just announced that all pubs, restaurants, cinemas, discos as well certain shops will be closed from midnight onward until further notice. How long will it take until BoJo and Trump announce similar measures?

#77 Re: The Garden » Weinstein sentenced to 23 Years in prison » 318 weeks ago
Almost expected it to be a shorter setence and him to get early (hollywood).
Didn't realize he was almost 70 either.
I always thought he was well over 70... What a surprise to find he's 'only' 67.
#78 Re: The Garden » Covid 19 » 318 weeks ago
Never seen anything like this before. I really don't understand why people get so crazy over a flu like disease when all they have to do is wash their hands and avoid putting vulnerable people at risk. Still haven't bought supplies but I think I might try and get some stuff tomorrow, just in case. If I wait any longer I might regret it later.
#79 Re: Guns N' Roses » Axl’s “ridiculous demands” » 318 weeks ago
Further theorizing or "insider" speculation now saying that Axl is demanding that the next release be a CD re-release, remastered with a CD2 EP without Slash or Duff. And the label are understandably none to keen on the idea.
Why would Axl want such a thing? It would be a very weird move... He's got his band back together and they are supposedly working on new music (or re-recording some Chinese Democracy leftovers with Slash and Duff 
). I know some hardcore fans are drooling over ** CD2 ** but everyone else wants to have Slash and Duff and a new album. I for one want to hear brand new music and not some old recordings.

I don't think it's bizarre.
It's a very contagious disease and people have been allowed to travel without restrictions for too long, even after Wuhan was isolated. The virus has been around since December, apparently, but it took weeks before that poor GP was finally listened to. When something was finally put in place to contain the virus, people had been travelling to and from China without knowing they were carriers. Also, everyone rushed to collect people who were in China, fly them back home and I think that was a mistake. Those people were not always checked properly, I even read something about people coughing on the plane... If they were showing symptoms, they should have been left in isolation in China, in my opinion.
This Wednesday when I went to some local shop, the cashier coughed on several occasions without ever attempting to cover her mouth... I mean, seriously? She cannot ignore what's going on here and everywhere in the world. She cannot have not heard all that stuff on the radio/TV or read the papers or spoken to someone about the virus. Carelessness is what is getting the virus to spread.
At my work we were informed this very afternoon that we are now in lockdown and cannot allow visitors in.
What I find bizarre is this thing about pangolins. If they carry the virus how comes this has not happened before?
I think it is very likely that Covid 19 killed people in the UK way before we started recording it as the cause of death. Like, people dying due to respiratory failure/flu...
