How the rich are running from coronavirus: Sales are skyrocketing for bunkers with escape tunnels, hidden doors, bullet-proof glass, pepper spray portals & special air-filtration systems. Some come with safe rooms with a year�s worth of food.https://t.co/KHpthLb1ex

Gary Lynch, general manager of Texas-based Rising S Bunkers, said the phone has been ringing nonstop since last week.

�As unpopular as coronavirus is, it�s getting the publicity of a Backstreet Boys hit in the �90s,� he said. �People have an infatuation with it.�

Some asshole I met once and stupidly added on Facebook finally provided good comedy this week. He decided it was wise to fuck off to Costa Rica right as all the lockdowns started here. It was amazing watching him get killed by all his friends and family.

I mention this because he's also an AirBnB mogul wanna be, so I can't wait to watch him cry about that collapsing.

Emergency room doctors and nurses many of whom are dealing with an onslaught of coronavirus patients and shortages of protective equipment — are now finding out that their compensation is getting cut.

Most ER providers in the U.S. work for staffing companies that have contracts with hospitals. Those staffing companies are losing revenue as hospitals postpone elective procedures and non-coronavirus patients avoid emergency rooms. Health insurers are processing claims more slowly as they adapt to a remote workforce.

“Despite the risks our providers are facing, and the great work being done by our teams, the economic challenges brought forth by COVID-19 have not spared our industry,” Steve Holtzclaw, the CEO of Alteon Health, one of the largest staffing companies, wrote in a memo to employees on Monday.

The memo announced that the company would be reducing hours for clinicians, cutting pay for administrative employees by 20%, and suspending 401(k) matches, bonuses and paid time off. Holtzclaw indicated that the measures were temporary but didn’t know how long they would last.

Malissa Cordova, a recent high school graduate from Los Angeles, has found viral fame after crashing multiple classes on Zoom and uploading the results to TikTok.

The project, which Cordova started as a way to cope with quarantine boredom and even learn from online classes, evolved into mass coordinated crashes with her followers who provide her with their courses' Zoom codes.

"Zoombombing," as the trend has come to be called, is becoming popular beyond the high school setting, and college professors are reporting disruptions to their classes.

Cordova's Zoom TikTok account was banned on Wednesday evening, but she has short-term plans to continue crashing.

I hate this hellscape that is teaching lessons though Zoom.

A bunch of companies have already gone under and we're not even through the worst of it yet. Makes sense some would be getting desperate.

Like if you're a car dealership what do you do? Run the commercial you made three years ago that has zero relevance now? I dunno if I was a marketing exec I'd be scrambling too.
