Message: <blockquote data-quote="GreyLord" data-source="post: 7950803" data-attributes="member: 4348">Why worry about the US?China has a Billion people.  They managed to subside it (from outward appearances) by extreme drastic measures (welding people inside their homes, people dying of starvation kept in homes, etc...etc...etc.).They had over 80K cases.The US only has 350 million in comparison.  Less than 1/3 of China.  The US now has more COVID than China did and it hasn't even gotten close to it's peak.  I would think most nations at this point should ban any travel from the US, ban anything coming from the US, and isolate the US until they have had the plague go through it.  They are the hotspot right now and it does not seem contained.  Seems an easy way to get migration from COVID is to things come from the US to other nations.This is a war, not against a nation, but against a disease.  It is a war I think we will win as a race (humans), but unless we treat the disease as the enemy, we are going to have more losses than victories in the beginning.  Right now I think many are still playing politics or economics rather than facing the common enemy we all have.And that's the limit of what I'll say on that as it's not really why I made this thread.On brighter concerns, did another D&D session today.  Made it a little further in the Dungeon.  It went a little better today though it still doesn't beat face to face.  However, in these times of concern, we do what we must to support the community efforts.  I am having to accept their statements on what they rolled at face value.  I've heard of dice rolling apps for phones, I'm thinking of maybe having  them all download those so that they roll them then hold up the results to the screen so I can validate the rolls.  They rolled VERY WELL today.  It's not that I don't trust them, having played with them for a while...but those were some VERY LUCKY rolls today.  It was typical to do maximum damage in combat...which if it happens over 50% of the time seems rather...odd.  Could happen...but doesn't seem likely.</blockquote>
