Graeme Jones Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 Was watching an interview on Sky News... and some idiot (looked to be in his late 60s) showed up with a sign saying "JESUS CHRIST WILL RETURN SOON" on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generations Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 I gotta be honest here...if the generation of people who fall for phone scams and email phishing, and have racist and xenophobic opinions about everything, was to...you know..."cease to exist". It wouldn't be a huge loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generations Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 Um...I'm pretty sure NJ just shut down for the most part. Bars, restaurants, casinos, etc...all on indefinite mandatory shutdown effective at 8pm tonight. Plus travel restrictions and a bunch of other things.

TrisetMaster908 Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 Apparantly it's in Phenix City Alabama, which is an hour away from my town. Ugh, we've got plenty of food here, and we have an underground stream of water, which I can use a purifier to get it fully clean. Trying to social distort myself and my dad as much as I can. Cant risk getting sick or mostly my dad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy Vercetti Posted March 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 Still waiting for my job to close for awhile....

Counting Lights Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 I have a dayjob at a Trader Joes, don't even know what to think about this one. A lot of people are pissed that a company that brags about how well it treats its employees can't back it up in a time like this. We're a small grocery store for a fairly niche (albeit loyal) audience of either millennial hipsters or suburban Karens, so to call us an "essential" service is kind of a joke. I'm sincerely hoping they close down soon, or only keep those who volunteer to stay, because I'm really not feeling good about going into work and dealing with so many people coming in, not knowing what their situation is. I have heard of some stores closing simply because the warehouses are running out of product, and I could see that hitting us very soon too.

Generations Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 Right now, the only anxiety I have...is that the mail/package delivery, or amazon in general are gonna stop.

Motown Saint Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 They just shut down every Bar, restaurant, and club in Mid Michigan. In related news, a 101 year old women has been cleared free from the virus, and apparently, a form of treatment is being developed in Canada as we speak.

Shadow Getsuga Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 So pretty much everything where I live is closing down. Minus grocery stores, drive throughs, and car dealerships. And I work at one of those grocery stores, so work continues for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WNX Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 This gaddamn panic is almost giving me job security. I work part time preload UPS (bruh those boxes are always *censored*ing disgusting, there's nothing you can do about that and wearing gloves actually makes the job harder to me) and the numbers of sheeit going on some these trucks are on their way to peak season numbers. We don't really have the staff for it, especially drivers because they really need to split those loads so they don't have to bring the sheeit back end of day cause you're talking like 200 stops with some pretty heavy sheeit and union demands they take a full half hour break, but we're making it work. I've seen more TP and paper towels come down that belt than I may have seen my entire life XD. And my hospitality job, nothing really changes for me even though they've cut staff hours, locked out the fitness room, denied fitness members access to the pool, tried to lock down about 70% of the rooms to reduce operational costs, and are converting the breakfast to boxes from the buffet set-up. As far as I'm aware there are 4 confirmed cases in VT, one of which a man from NY was tested positive at the hospital my girl works at. He was supposedly sent back to his state for self-quarantine. We'll see how that goes. School board hasn't made a decision on shutting down and from the sounds of things all the F & B businesses haven't been regulated at all so it comes down to customer discretion whether or not they wanna be in a public space. Haven't seen stores too wiped out other than the paper product shelves at Wal-Mart and a serious hit to their cleaning supply shelves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motown Saint Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 How about some good news? China has closed down its last coronavirus hospital. Not enough new cases to support them. Doctors in India have been successful in treating Coronavirus. Combination of drugs used: Lopinavir, Retonovir, Oseltamivir along with Chlorphenamine. They are going to suggest same medicine, globally. Researchers of the Erasmus Medical Center claim to have found an antibody against coronavirus. A 103-year-old Chinese grandmother has made a full recovery from COVID-19 after being treated for 6 days in Wuhan, China. Apple reopens all 42 china stores, Cleveland Clinic developed a COVID-19 test that gives results in hours, not days. Good news from South Korea, where the number of new cases is declining. Italy is hit hard, experts say, only because they have the oldest population in Europe. Scientists in Israel likely to announce the development of a coronavirus vaccine. 3 Maryland coronavirus patients fully recovered; able to return to everyday life. A network of Canadian scientists are making excellent progress in Covid-19 research. A San Diego biotech company is developing a Covid-19 vaccine in collaboration with Duke University and National University of Singapore. Tulsa County's first positive COVID-19 case has recovered. This individual has had two negative tests, which is the indicator of recovery. All 7 patients who were getting treated for at Safdarjung hospital in New Delhi have recovered. Plasma from newly recovered patients from Covid -19 can treat others infected by Covid-19. So it's not ALL bad news friends. Let's care for each other and stay focused on safety of those most vunerable while continuing to make the best of our days. This too shall pass! **If you google the above statements, they prove to be true** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway...we had a reported case in my local area just now. Like...the next town over. And they put out a thing saying that he had contact with no one, and the hospital staff was prepared for him. Like...that's all well and fine. I know they're trying to stop panic before it starts. But, let's be truthful about this...you can't be 100% sure that this dude had no contact just because that's what he said. And the hospital staff was still exposed to it, whether they end up actually contracting it or not. So...yeah. It's here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
