I thought it was a parody account, but its his official account posting a picture of a Venezuelan flag. A country now famous for lacking basic necessities and whose government they're attempting to overthrow...  :neogaf

My neighbors next door are throwing some kind of redneck pool party at the moment. They have a sprinkler and an inflatable child size pool. They have invited enough people that there are cars parked up and down both sides of the street. My neighbors on the other side are both elderly.

Spent 2 hours last night and 3 hours this morning trying to get this amazon whole foods market delivery thing to work. Doesn't show any delivery times for me or my parents addresses, but shows for my brother but when I go to checkout it still says no times available on the final place order screen :|

Somehow my brother got an order through yesterday.

Just gonna go to the market on Mon or Tuesday, but would've been nice if this worked.

they wouldn't send my mum's meds. I had to go in and it was something about one of them needing to be stored in refrigeration and there was a conflict with some new pill that causes heart murmurs when coupled with nudexta. the refrigeration is only necessary for transport, once we get it home it's not required. both issues seem like they could have been worked out online or over the phone  ::)

I walked into Remoulade on Bourbon Street tonight and thought of you fellas. A table full of gorgeous symptoms, every shade from loss of smell to dry cough. All feverish, wearing scraps for masks. I could feel your short breath all the way from here. Then I got COVID19.

America is so screwed. Latest example:

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/20/us/coronavirus-cruise-ship-costa-luminosa.html

Lots of probably infected people from a cruise ship flew back to the US and were allowed to leave/continue to travel without testing or being quarantined.
Quote
Nearly 400 Americans and Canadians were evacuated from the Costa Luminosa, an Italian cruise liner, after several passengers tested positive for the coronavirus. They flew home anyway.

Quote
“Passengers with no symptoms upon arrival were given health information advising them to stay home for 14 days after returning from travel, monitor their health and practice social distancing as they continued to their final destination.”

Several passengers acknowledged that they or someone in their party had high temperatures when the C.D.C. checked. But as long as their temperatures fell after repeated tries, they were allowed to go home.

Passengers said they booked flights to California, Arizona, Florida and elsewhere across the United States and Canada.

Ms. Nordlund did not respond to questions asking whether it made sense to allow people who had been instructed to self-isolate to travel on commercial aircraft, potentially exposing them to other passengers.

The virus was obviously engineered to take out sex offenders.

Thats why it affects men so much worse that women.

Thats why all these rich politicians are getting it, but regular people arent.

Of course, that begs the question...what the fuck was going on in Wuhan? Is wet market code for something...?

Stores should raise the prices; that would be the appropriate thing for them to do, and it works out better for everyone.

If say, toilet paper... if toilet paper costs what it appropriately should right now given the sudden scarcity, people who need it would have it available to buy in the store at the correct price instead of panicked randos buying it up cheap because the stores can't - by law - make the adjustment they should.  Increasing the price means said randos can't walk away with so much and wouldn't want to in the first place.  This also obviously incentivizes increased production.

Same principle where concerts don't cost what they should and scalpers swoop in and take profits because they get what people are actually willing to pay.

The concert example shows the opposite of what you think it does: an efficient* market for Rolling Stones tickets results in a lot of people who like the Rolling Stones not seeing them live. Which is fine, not everyone needs to see the Rolling Stones. But it does not "work out better for everyone." Likewise, raising the price of toilet paper will not ensure that everyone has access to toilet paper.

I hope this clears things up for you. Cheers, buddy.

*In the sense of finding a clearing price with no transaction or information costs blah blah blah.

Quote from: Gamestop e-mail
To Our Valued Guests,

Over the last week, you've continued visiting our stores to purchase the entertainment and connectivity products and devices that are enabling you to find some degree of normalcy in these very trying times. We thank you for your continued loyalty to GameStop and your trust in us to deliver the products that you need. With customer and employee safety as our paramount concern, we're announcing a new way of making our stores and our wide array of gaming, accessories and collectibles products accessible to you during this time.

New Store Pickup Procedure: Delivery@Door

Beginning today, Sunday, March 22, only employees will be allowed inside our stores. To continue to serve you from these locations, we are offering a contactless delivery service called Delivery@Door at all store locations across the country where state or local laws allow. The process is simple - just go online via GameStop.com  or the GameStop App to place your order and simply select the pick up option for your local store. Your order confirmation email will contain additional instructions, including a notice when your order is ready and the phone number of the store. Just call when you arrive and one of our associates will meet you at the door with your product. Of course, you can also continue having items delivered to your doorstep also through GameStop.com  or the GameStop mobile app. If, for any reason, you were unable to order your products in advance and the product is in stock in the store, one of our associates can also assist you while you remain in your car. Credit Card chip only transactions can be processed onsite.

While we are operating under Delivery@Door protocols, we will not be able to accept returns and exchanges. We will, however, be adjusting our exchange and return policy to allow you more time to return recent purchases once our stores are fully reopened. Finally, in order to ensure your and our associates utmost safety, we have temporarily suspended our product-trade-in service. Please make note that we have reduced our store operational hours to 12 p.m. - 8 p.m.

Our Associates

It is important to take a moment to recognize the unending commitment and efforts of our store associates during this time. They are truly passionate about the service they provide our customers and the gaming community. All U.S. GameStop employees have been ensured that they do not have to work if they are not comfortable ( :foodcourt  -Me), or need to stay home to care for a family member. They have also been instructed to stay home if they feel sick or in any way they may have been exposed to a confirmed case of COVID-19. GameStop will pay all U.S. employees impacted by this an additional two weeks at their regular pay.

We thank you again for your patience and loyalty and look forward to continuing to provide you with the gaming, entertainment, and connectivity products you require to stay virtually connected while at home.

Basically echoes what we already know

Coronavirus: When will the outbreak end and life get back to normal?

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-51963486
Quote
But even if the number of cases starts to fall in the next three months, then we will still be far from the end.

It can take a long time for the tide to go out - possibly years.

It is clear the current strategy of shutting down large parts of society is not sustainable in the long-term. The social and economic damage would be catastrophic.

What countries need is an "exit strategy" - a way of lifting the restrictions and getting back to normal.

But the coronavirus is not going to disappear.

If you lift the restrictions that are holding the virus back, then cases will inevitably soar.


Basically no way out.

I feel like if no one can come up with a solution for a year until there's a vaccine (and then give 2 months to vaccinate the entire world), the solution is just going to be to give up and go back to normal and figure a % of the population is going to die and move on. Some people will continue the bunker/quarantine/wfh lifestyle, but a good percentage of the population, especially the younger people will get back out and do normal stuff, go the movies, go shopping, eat out and things will go back to normal a certain amount.

I'd like to think the world can just dig in for a year until the vaccine is out, but idk.

Also maybe if they come up with a effective treatment solution much sooner, that will work. If someone gets sick, they get tested right away, and get treatment right away and they're better in a week. ICU's/Hospitals aren't overrun if they can catch these sicknesses and treat them right away, and business can be back to normal. Just need enough tests and enough of the meds.

A part of me just feels like, lets get this shit over and done with. Mitigate the spread as much as we can, but fuck this lock down shit.

Not sure many people are with me on this though. And I'm not sure I am to be honest. It's just that the more I read about how it is going to take years, and that obviously we can't keep shit shut down for the long term anyway, the more I kind of feel like, 'fuck it then!'.

The closure of non-essential businesses is in most states a matter of law. It's not negotiable just because people are tired of staying indoors. We do it as long as we need to.
