    We did the same for this week. Next week is spring break in my kids school district.

    Are the grocery stores empty like here? When my phone starts working (something with my SIMS card) I can post some pics from last night at the local stores. It's crazy.

    Here is the report that has shaped the UK and US policies towards handling the virus.

    All eyes on are China and South Korea, as the outcome in those countries in the next few weeks will tell us whether this mess will be cleaned up by mid-summer... or by Spring of next year. Additionally, if anyone can make successful antivirals that combat the virus, and the strain doesn't mutate anymore than it already has, it could also impact how long we have to keep from each other.

    This is like nothing we have ever seen before, and may be like nothing we'll ever see again for the rest of our lives (I hope, anyways).

    I know, I was being a little dramatic. You’re right though. Those guns wont protect them from a virus. Stay away, stay healthy.

    In my experience it hasn’t been too bad, produce is slim and ground meat/cuts are slim, the rest of the store looks normal. Got some strawberries that turned out sour yesterday, that pissed me off.

    It might just be the rest of our lives unfortunately...

    Found where I posted them on another site.

    This was yesterday, and all three places I went looked like this:

    My kids had Elk burger taco's last night. They were shocked at how good it was. They better get used to it.

    Kings Soopers and Safeway looked the same. It was late in the day, so maybe that had something to do with it.

    At the absolute worst case, yes, possibly. But I do have faith that the collective resources of our scientists can come together to tackle this as they have many other serious diseases.

    It just wont happen in a time frame that is comfortable or convenient to our daily lives and the global economy. Unless you mean we'll be dealing with the coronavirus forever, then yes, of course we will unless we can somehow achieve 100% vaccination rapidly.

    But I don't believe we'll need to be socially distancing ourselves once an effective vaccine is created.

    This past week I was off, and it was crazy. Most of the meats were gone. The only way someone is getting TP is if you have it stored.

    Stack as much non perishable food as you can. When inflation starts creeping up, you'll save money down the road. And there is a huge risk of storms disrupting food supplies this year. Stack food high and deep.

    That is the mentality that’s causing the shortage right now. Might as well move to a bunker in the woods and live off the land.

    Not to mention the fact that a good portion of that food is going to be completely wasted, I guarantee you people panicking are buying food they’re not going to eat and will sit in their pantries until it dates out.

    China’s data is suspect at best and Koreas was tainted by some nut jobs thinking it was their divine task issued by the Jesus man himself to spread it, apparently. I’m seeing some semi promising signs in the CDC data that the curve is flattening at least a bit.

    The virus isn't the biggest threat, our stalled economy is. Recessions are cyclical, we were due for one, the virus was just the catalyst. You guys are focusing on the iceberg but ignoring the hole in the boat because the ship is still floating.

    We are? Let me remind you of your post from 10:09 last night...


    Its called triage, different injuries (injuries to the USA; virus, economy etc.) are getting assigned different levels of help from different people at the same time. It's not do this, then that. Food production isn't going to grind to a halt. Even if there are 100 year storms, which by the way are being caused by something many people don't believe exits, just like the virus. The grocery stores will keep stocking the shelves, theres no reason to stock up with food, this isn't the Irish potato famine. People act like millennials are the me-me-me generation yet who are the ones stocking up on food right now? Boomers and older gen X-ers. Because they are only worried about themselves. The way to get through this with the least disruption is to help each other right now, not help ourselves. Whats funny about that is in the end, by helping others we do help ourselves, even more so than if we were selfish from the onset.

    Stock again- rip slug
    My clinic started today with not seeing any "non essential" patient visits. Today's schedule was halved from our norm, and they are putting the sick patient's in the afternoon to avoid exposure in the lobby; while non sick patients are in the morning. They don't even want us in sick patient's rooms even though I have my n95 mask, only docs.


    Now that I'm working half days I get to decide whether to salvage 1 hour of sick time per day, or how to allocate it all. Nobody knows where this will go, and for how long

    I don't know most of you, but I am glad we share this tiny corner of the internet with each other.

    This will most definitely be a very challenging time for us all. I look forward to continue talking with you all on the other side, whenever that may be.

    On a side note,

    Set your VPN to Italy and go to p0rnhub, free premium content for all of Italy for the rest of the month.

    Enjoy.
