Pains me to say this but my trip to Florida on Easter is prob not happening

Re: Coronavirus (non political)
 

Fuckin' coronavirus.

Ruined my vacation plans for next week. Postponed a class I've been trying to take at work since October for another couple months. Girl I asked out for last Saturday had to postpone until today because she got stuck helping her family, then today MD/DC announced all restaurants are shut down so she decided it wasn't worth it, so now I gotta wait until the weekend to have dinner at her place.

On the flip side if it blows over by June I'll have made a worthy investment on a nice two week Vegas-Cali trip by scoring super cheap airfare on Southwest. If it's still a pandemic then it's just another L i'm taking.

Re: Coronavirus (non political)
 

not a fan of bing, but decent tracker from Microsoft here:

[url]https://www.bing.com/covid[/url]

China had 80,880 cases, in a country far more densely populated then the US, and they currently have 9,848 active cases.

I think that actually bodes well for the US. The US population density is 33 people per sq. km vs China at 146. Likewise Italy is 200 people per.

No one, and definitely not me, knows what course this will run, but given the natural space the US has, and the response at all levels of government, I truly think that we will avoid the Italian or Chinese levels, even while we maintain our uniquely independent lives.

They say it may not be able to get under control until late July or August. Hope they can work harder and faster to get it done. Has put the world on hold and notice.

Dispensary just sent me a text saying "WE ARE STILL OPEN" ... which clearly means they will be suspended/closing in a matter of days.

My weed stash and my food stash are at conflicting odds with each other.

Banks going to appointment only.

Why people bank still face to face blows my mind. I have not been in a bank other then a ATM in years.

Re: Coronavirus (non political)
 

I think from this our country will learn how well we can run with alot of folks working from home. There are still so many Boomers out there that think if you are at home you are slacking off.

There so many out date processes still going on that computers and the internet can solve in regards to people interaction; some folks just don't want let go.

So we have a sign on our door telling customers we are not taking cash payments (we get very few) because of the virus. The people still come in and look so confused about not being able to make a cash payment. One lady came in with a check and I told her to keep the check. We will process her payment electronically so we don't have to handle checks. She too looked so confused and it took forever for me to explain it will process just like a check but it will not show a check number. I finally decided today we are locking the door and they can just call the office.

I am shocked that drive up bank windows are common place in Virginia. California where I came from closed all those down decades ago and replaced them with drive up ATMs. I only go in the bank when I need an amount of cash where $20 bills are inconvenient. Why can't the ATMs give out $100 bills?

Depends on the atm I guess. I have Chase out here and I can get 100s from the atm.

Because most hookers in Va are under $100 and they usually don't have change.

Re: Coronavirus (non political)
 

I wonder when the mass hysteria at the chain supermarkets will die down. When I drive by looks like the Food Lions still have 4 times the normal crowds. I used to have an advantage of being able to avoid the masses as I work from home and can pick and choose my hours. That is gone now with everyone staying home.

I might just shop at the local mom & pop stores, looks like they aren't much more than the normal, beer, soda and cigarette customers. They still have good stock other than toilet paper and paper towels. That will add shopping time as I would probably have to hit up 3-4 of them to get everything I need. Only one has a good produce selection and it is 20 miles away.

Re: Coronavirus (non political)
 

Everyone who was eating in the cafeteria at work, or at food trucks, or at little spots near the office now is having to hit the supermarket deli for lunch stuff. The new normal is definitely heavier grocery store foot traffic. I just hope everyone chills on the paper products soon because that shit is just irrational.

What shut those things down, voluntary or government action?

Re: Coronavirus (non political)
 

Last night at 6 pm I was able to find chicken breasts, ground beef and milk which I was not able to find on Sunday or Friday.

TP is nowhere to be found. I still have a decent amount to last me maybe 10 days but its nowhere. I could have bought a few rolls on Saturday at Home Depot but thought I had enough. Now I wish I had picked some up.

Re: Coronavirus (non political)
 

[quote=Buffalo Bob;1247222]What shut those things down, voluntary or government action?[/quote]

Neither. If nobody's at the office, and they're all home, then they're simply not there to get their lunch where they normally would.

Ok, I thought office buildings closed their cafeterias and the health department shut down the food trucks.

Re: Coronavirus (non political)
 

Italy is a disaster
Yesterday 345 new deaths
Today 475

Yesterday 3526 new cases
Today 4207

They have 45,000 fewer cases then China, but the same basic number of deaths (CH-3237 to IT-2978)

Italy's cases are 591 per 1million population
the US cases right now are 23 per 1million.

Granted the US cases per million will jump in the next week as the test kits get into NYC and other outbreak sites. But Italy's is out of control even in relationship to Spain(298), Germany (143), France(140), S Korea (164)

I think best practice goes to Germany right now with 28 deaths but only 2 serious/critical out of 11,859 active cases.

I'm extremely skeptical of all of these figures being reported. China isn't trustworthy at all, I think it's quite likely they're suppressing the real figures to make themselves look better.

And then we can't be certain Germany is documenting things the same way Italy is, South Korea is, we are, etc.

Went to the post office to drop off a priority express envelope. I was shocked to see business as usual. I figured the clerks would all be in hazmat suits by now.
