Holy fuck nuggets you're right. But that was years ago on my iPhone 5 before I uninstalled the game. I don't suppose there's anyway of getting it back?

didn't i give you an account with artoria way back when?

Various news sites cite that the virus doesn't do particularly well in warmer climates.

Has there been some evidence that the humidity somehow has the opposite effect for this virus and makes it spread easier?

I've leveled Medea a bit but my God is she squishy, I'll probably just switch her for someone else. And I'll probably hoard 1k quartz then if I really want muh Seibah.

Is my username just my Master's name? My Master's name is Tabris. Didn't I add you with that nine-digit number?

In other news, I'm assuming that harpy Pelosi finally backed down since the Senate agreed on a stimulus bill. Every eligible citizen will get a $1200 at some point in the future. Personally this is great news for me since I haven't been able to add any money to my savings account in a while, and I have several bills looming over my head right now.

Calm down Jesus Christ you’re embarrassing yourself over a simple discussion.

I never said anything about defying the law to go to work, you’re pulling that out of nowhere. Also throwing money at an issue won’t necessarily make it go away. Is this affecting the entire country? Yes. Is the federal government doing something about it? Yes. Should the state/local government do something to help in their respective states? Yes.

This is not a difficult concept. I don’t know what it’s like over there but here the state/local governments can do more for their citizens than just make petty ordinances. The way your arguing about this you’re making it seem like there’s nothing in between a huge national government and a neighborhood advisory board meeting.

At least, that’s how your coming across.

I swear, you yanks would have literal walkers roaming the streets and you'd still be like "I am a PROUD Trump supporter and I will gladly DIE on the job at Foot Locker if it means the federal government stays out of our lives!"

Federal government = more resources and better equipment to deal with national crises. State government pertains to LOCALISED issues, which is clearly not what you are dealing with here. I'm not even American and even I can grasp that basic concept. Why is this so difficult for you.

Theoretically yes, but what difference does it make with the Fed controlling the police force and national guard when the jobs of both are still "Roam the streets and enforce curfews on non-essential workers"?

And federal government can overrule the state in a time of crisis no?

I got some blonde french not-Arturia Saber.

I'm surprised you don't have Emiya already. He's a possibile tutorial servant. Did you not reroll for him &/or Heralcles?

Any other methods?

Sooooooo how do you guys grind Quartz?

I mean, there are measures by the national government, but things like enforcing a lock down or keeping people at home would be difficult for the national government to do.

It's an international crisis affecting multiple countries and unions my man. Italy is reporting 500 plus deaths a day. Spain isn't far behind. Given the current trajectory the US is on you guys look to be giving them a run for their money in the coming days. If that doesn't warrant federal/national government intervention instead of state intervention then I'm not sure what does.

I'm not saying that the federal level shouldn't exist, or that it shouldn't be in charge of things. What I'm saying is that people will often ignore their state/local governments when those are perfectly reasonable institutions for such situations. I distinctly remember back in 2012/2013 one guy was going state to state trying to abolish the death penalty via their state governments, made significantly more progress than any federal push on the issue. I live in Florida where we're known for being slapped in the face by hurricanes non-stop, but all those strict building codes, reconstruction, and other forms of aid came from state of Florida, very little actually gets to us in the form of federal assistance.

Also I find it ironic making such a statement on being unified yet Italy and most other European countries are struggling with the virus themselves despite the EU being a thing.

What's the point in being a unified country then? What's the point in even having a federal government if not for enacting emergency powers for this very reason?

The "my area isn't affected yet so we don't need to do anything" mentality needs to stop. It's that very mindset which has gotten Europe into the mess it's in right now. Fuck, morons in the UK were treating it like a holiday weekend yesterday, so now the government has had to step in. The containment phase is past the point of no return now. The sooner countries (and states I guess?) start taking this pandemic more seriously the sooner we can resume our lives.

Sooooooo how do you guys grind Quartz?

The responsibility falls to state governments. Just because New York has numerous cases doesn't mean South Dakota needs to take the same measures New York is. What good would federal meddling do? It would just cause more problems in South Dakota, and I'm speaking as somebody that lives in a big state. I've been saying this for years now: the US federal government is an incompetent bureaucratic mess and people need to stop trying to get things done on a federal level.

I'm surprised the country isn't on a federal lockdown tbh, if that's even possible. Don't really know the ins and outs of US government emergency responses to a crisis like this, but you think it would have happened by now.

You're the third most affected country in the world. New York state alone has higher cases than the entirety of the UK.

Then again, Trump.

What's an SSR?

I don't really know how to respond to this. Some people find what they do for a living to be fulfilling/accomplishing and meaningful.
