The Surgeon General appealed to Kylie Jenner on Thursday morning to tell her millennial followers to stay at home and stop going to beaches as the country frantically tries to fight coronavirus.

In an appearance on Good Morning America, Surgeon General Jerome Adams said the country needed social media influencers like Jenner to use their platforms to get through to young people.

It came after disturbing photographs and videos emerged of kids flocking to the beaches of Florida for Spring Break, gathering in groups and twerking despite the entire world being on the brink of shut-down.

Startling new data released on Wednesday night shows 29 percent of the cases of coronavirus in the US are among people between the ages of 20 and 44. Of that number, 20 percent are in the hospital and 12 percent are in intensive care units.

Doesn't she fall in the Zoomer (gen z) demographic?

I've kindof had an epiphany, I keep a close eye on the numbers to see what seems to be happening with the whole Covid-19 spread, as it shows in quite a basic way what a country can expect, now that its here and no one trusts the numbers, me included, it's kind of an interesting set of circumstances.
I am now just waiting to see what happens here with our cases and whether we will be restricted to travel or whatnot

Porn Industry Calls for Shutdown Due to Coronavirus

Despite the global panic surrounding COVID-19, as recently as last week the adult industry remained relatively untouched, continuing business as usual and resuming shoots — even if individual performers were wary about being on set. But as the situation surrounding COVID-19 rapidly evolves and government officials encourage social distancing, all industries are being affected, and the porn world is no exception.

On Monday morning, industry publication Xbiz reported that the Free Speech Coalition (FSC), the adult-industry lobbying group, is calling for an industry-wide “voluntary shutdown” through the end of March. The statement comes on the heels of California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s call for non-essential businesses to shut down effective immediately, and applies to all performers who are shooting with partners who are “not a part of their household.”

There is enough porn in the world to get us though this time.

Also... cam girls.

Ya. I think people are misinterpreting the non essential services part.

I dread to think that in the next few weeks we will be restricted to live streaming the step family and twins stuff. Will be unbearable

Porn industry aside, can you guys imagine the utter chaos when ISPs and other managed service providers start shutting down? "Cloud" is just someone else's server with your crap stored on it, and everything still needs people to keep it running.

Here in Europe, mobile providers are already taking strain with hundreds of millions of people currently at home, with ISPs not far behind. Microsoft Teams was unusable earlier in the week because it couldn't support the throughput.

99% of patients killed by coronavirus in Italy had existing illnesses, new study finds
  • Research into 355 deaths found that only three (0.8%) had no other illnesses
  • Nearly half of them - 48.5% - already had three or even more health conditions
  • Another 25.6% had two other 'pathologies', while 25.1% had one other illness
“Scientists have not yet established why people with high blood pressure are more vulnerable to the coronavirus.”
