The Screaming Females concert I was going to on Sunday in LA just cancelled.

Oh well that makes the decision of do I want to go our not for me.

You can still get tickets that close to the date? Last time I waited on buying tickets to watch them in Chicago, I got shut out.

You know if all this ends with under 5,000 deaths in the US the fake news people are going to have a fucking field day.

Conservatives love to claim that when prevention matters work that means no problem ever existed.

Exactly.

I share an office with someone.

She asked if I planned on working from home.

I said no, why.

She said you take transit arent you scared.

I said its cool.

She clearly thinks Im carrying the virus in every day.

Sucks to be you bitch, but I need two monitors. One for work, one for stonks.

The solution to not having toilet paper is booking a night at a cheap hotel and just keep asking for Toilet Paper. Get $60 worth, and then leave.

Thanks, Joe.

My university dept. just sent an email that TA and grad students can stay home if they are sick or if they are feeling anxious about going into the school as if they were sick.  That's pretty nice of them.  Pretty sure university will be closed by Monday anyways.

My county isn't listed.  :ohyeah

20 in Suffolk, close to 100 in Manhattan. And my bro is an infectious disease doc in Manhattan...   :-\

My office has about 2000 people working there (with lots of international travel), they were sending out test notifications of their alert system today and my boss called a meeting with all of us talking about making sure we can get on the VPN at home. Really hoping they give us the order soon.

Also had another employee show up to work today coughing with a sore throat and fever and we said not paraphrased but "why the fuck are you here, go home"

No matter how many times we tell our employees to stay home from work if they're sick and we're not taking it out of their sick leave, they still show up coughing and being sick in our small office where everyone crowds into a medium sized main office space and is like 2 feet from each other and constantly hands papers to each other and talks to each other. It's really frustrating as an employer.

I proposed a plan I wrote last night to transition the office to entirely remote work from home for all employees outside 1 receptionist to get the mail and answer calls. All it called for was buying like 8 work cellphones and getting 8 work laptops to take home that have remote connection to our server and office 365 on them.

Was voted down by the other owners that I'm paranoid and this isn't a big deal and blah blah.

If I can't make the office a safe place to work I'll probably just have to stay home and work from home myself from now on and they can't complain. As long as someone scans anything physical that shows up for me and emails me any calls I get and return numbers that I can call back from a google fake # from my home, I can do pretty much everything 99% from home myself. Though I do need a better remote access program to my server. Always used Teamviewer which is an oooook virtual desktop but not great and my dad uses Logmein which I never liked.

Golly gee wilikers should would be nice if we had a robust, universal health care system in this country to properly combat something like this.

But i'm sure having millions of working poor with no access to a doctor or proper testing and going to work sick out of necessity without the availability of sick leave won't fuck us at all. 

nope. Everything is fine!

 First it came for Kahlenberg, and I did not speak out, because I am not a glue sniffer.

Then it came for Rugani and I said nothing, because I am not a criminal Italian.

Then it came for Arteta and I said nothing, cause who the fuck supports Arsenal.

But then it came for Paulo Dybala, and NOW I FUCKING SPEAK. This has gone too far. Leave Dybala alone.

The Dutch expert running this:
"We could take additional measures but those might not work"  :smug

Another Dutch expert calls the Italians stupid for overreacting damaging their economy while their healthcare breaks down

Oh wow, this expert

"Unlike Italy we are a rich country with a government who listens to experts and has a solid healthcare system"  :mynicca

"God won't save you from Corona, stay home, fools"  :doge

Meanwhile... Italian government passed stricter rules for the curfew, because old people kept not giving a shit and go do their usual rounds, while all the youngsters were home watching Twitch.  :lol
They basically closed down a whole larger range of shops, and left open just the more essential stuff, like supermarkets, pharmacies, and such.

its hard for me to not believe over a million americans will die due to the consequences of the epidemic

it seems like absolutely everything is going wrong rn

trump straight up pushing to not test people to keep numbers low for his re-election... fucking wow

and the insane thing is, it kills mostly old people... how does that help your re-election, you moron?

im guessing he'll catch it himself and die instead of getting blown the fuck out in november
Over a million would be a bit dramatic.
Over a million might be infected but not everyone infected dies.
Most people recover from the bio weapon after a short while.

It seems that mostly people with severe heart problems or other issues kick the bucket.

The big risk is if this thing mutates.

If it wasn't for the backlash on the 'hoax' thing or stock markets getting twitchy Trump wouldn't have made a big deal out of this.
Now our country follows because if we keep up appearances the flight ban might be lifted early.

It's all a joke.

Arbitrary numbers and measures to act like governments are 'in control' or 'on top' of this thing.
Nothing changed between Trump saying it was a hoax and Trump doing the travel ban.
Except bad news stories and stock market dips.

US suspends flights from Europe for 30 days.

FACK! My black metal concert on April 10th  :'(

But the tour starts in 2 days somewhere else in the States so it looks like I lucked out and the bands are likely on US soil already.

Sorry for getting mad at you Corona-chan  :-[

aaaaaaaand the whole tour is canceled. Corona-chan you bitch!!!

Mainly due to various cities having bans on events that are above a certain number of people.

I bought stuff to last me (more or less) for the 20 days of quarantine today, and there was a huge line at the super market i went to (a very big one in the city).
They had people go in in chunks though, to avoid too big of a crowd, so that was partly the reason.

Everything was super stocked though, they had people restocking like crazy, too.

If you are hell bent on not getting it (or getting it as late as possible) and you know your country is going into lock down anyway (and are able to); it's not that crazy to lock yourself in a bit early, when the probability of contagion in your area is still low.
This way you can do some shopping around for stuff with less stress.

Went out to run some errands tonight and yep, people have lost their fuckin' minds.

Wife wanted to go to Costco- told her it was probably not a good idea, but went along.  The first thing we noticed is that there were no shopping carts outside anywhere.  Already a sign to not bother going inside.  The woman at the door had a counter to keep track of how many people they were letting in, lol.  Saw a MASSIVE queue of people just lining up to leave and the line to wait for the checkout literally went all the way back to the other side of the store.   :lol  The entire aisle where toilet paper, paper towels, and water are located was cleaned out.  The way people were running around inside the store and and leaving with stockpiles of shit (saw one guy in a mask, with shit strapped on) and especially the people outside, stumbling around in a daze looking for carts reminded me of a scene from a post-apocalyptic movie.

Went to the grocery store after this.  Not as insane as Costco, but still similar in that all the carts were gone, indicating a packed store, and certain items were just cleaned out.  Lots of people going for bottled water, bread, and pasta. 

Then on the way home, stopped to get gas.  The guy next to us was busy filling up multiple containers with gas and putting them in his trunk. 
 :dizzy

On the bright side, there was no traffic, lol.  And the stores have got to be loving the all the sales they racking up right now.
