Tim and Ben discuss the eerily casual mood at LA grocery stores like Sprouts and CVS, compare it to early reports from Italy, and go through rising case numbers in Germany and Italy, expressing dismay at Italy being ravaged.
- Tim observes grocery store shoppers in Eagle Rock acting casual, making jokes about Corona while grabbing food with no apparent concern.
- Early Italy had the same vibe—people joking over cappuccino before things escalated to tambourines and chaos on patios.
- Germany appears to be handling the situation better, with around 3,675 cases and only eight deaths reported.
- Italy, by contrast, has been ravaged with 17,000 total cases and 14,000 new cases in just the past week.
