Heartbreaking personal stories.

From the people I've spoken to, ranging from clients to family and friends it was either:

My world was ending, I was a prisoner in my own home, the [dog, kids, husband, wife, neighbors] drove me crazy :existential

or

Finally managed to work on that backlog of [movies, games, TV shows] :playa

Especially gamers coped incredibly well.

Play more mmos or multiplayer games, I spend a few hours each day on the backlog and then a bunch of time playing smite or siege with my bros.  I’m making progress on my backlog but I’m prolly good until long after covid is a over at this rate

Well my most played game of the year is Asphalt 9.

Animal Crossing was a major disappointment.

I like games like Planet Coaster but then get sad at how much I suck at building

Well if you liked Asphalt 9, Need for Speed Heat is 60% off on Steam.
But there's also a ton of other games for like $5 or $10.

Planet Zoo is on sale too.

Trump's yelling that cases mean nothing and only deaths matter right at the point when deaths are obviously about to start rising again. It's so brazenly dumb but it's not surprising; he's incapable of thinking more than five minutes ahead.

And I don't even get that nice dopamine hit from schadenfreude because the thing that's owning him is the death of thousands of people. This suuuuuuuuuuucks.

That's the Texas state GOP convention. They're still aiming to have the national one in Jacksonville (moved from Charlotte), though it's apparently a big shitshow.

Having no one but Q groypers at the national GOP convention would be the biggest embarrassment for the party ever. A cherry on top of this year's shit sundae

The kinda sick part of me is disappointed.

The national GOP convention is being held in Jacksonville at the VyStars Arena. It's where they held  UFC 249, and a couple of UFC fight nights, and its holds a large Sports complex including the Jaguars stadium... and Daily's Place, where AEW runs shows.

So I hope AEW plans shit far enough in advance they film and tape shit so they can avoid the GOP convention, or they don't and AEW wrestlers and staff have to dodge whackos that want to start a fight with them.

And so it begins in California. Notices got posted today at our apartment complex stating they are going back to normal operations, inspections will happen and no notice will be made ahead of time nor will there be any special exemptions due to COVID-19. This housing is partially subsidized by the Federal government, so I'm assuming this is coming from higher up now that California is opening up. What a horrible time to let these exemptions expire as the numbers continue to rise.

I don't know about you guys but I trust myself, not others at this moment in time. I can't trust a team of individuals to come in and respect my personal space, let alone if they are traveling between multiple units in a single day... Increasing potential and avoidable risks. I don't know if that's a overreaction, but things aren't back to normal and I don't feel comfortable with that. I trust myself and the procedures I've adopted over the last few months to reduce and minimize risk in my household.

Uh... It's a renters thing? You're on someone else's property.

Rented for 14 years and never once had anyone inspect my apartment.

Yeah it's a thing, we've always had it here. It's usually a huge pain in the ass normally, but that was in the before times not now.

Apartments I lived in would use annual fire alarm checks as a way to inspect your apartment. They would come in with a battery tester but they'd be looking all around for any visible violations while they were doing it.

Florida is 8,935 with a positivity rate of 20.72% and they only did 5/7th of the tests they did yesterday.  Also 120 dead.    This is looking pretty bad.

“In America and Brazil, the presidents are brave. Bolsonaro has money; he’s kind of like Trump," he said, citing the leaders' "devil may care attitude."

"We are poor. We cannot afford total pandemonium.”

He added: “If we follow the examples of other countries by opening our entire economy and thousands upon thousands of new cases happen—then we are in deep shit.”

The law has a more nuanced approach than you're positing.

I should have stated previously that the notice acts as the "reasonable" notice to enter. They do this all the time with these notices, it's borderline shitty behavior. Sometimes they'll even post them the night before they intend to come in, which is less than 24 hours notice. I requested that they do a inspection over the phone, following their instruction to show them that we are in compliance and that everything is in working order. They've not yet made a decision about if they will or won't let us do that. I talked with one of the property supers about it and he doesn't haven an issue with it. He did tell me that the property management has been given some new guidance from HUD about the properties. Doesn't sound like good news from what he was telling me.

Anyways to keep this on track.

Where do we go from here? How do we even start to fix things when those in power choose to do nothing? The things they are choosing to do are only making things worse  and the fear I have is that all of this will be for nothing. The economy can be rebuilt, lives can't! Meanwhile those in power leave us to break for a recess when we have seriously fucked the pooch here. Emergency sessions should be going on to solve this crisis. We can't triage this problem when we don't even want to acknowledge that it's a problem in the first place.

Sorry I'm just frustrated more and more lately. I feel less and less in control of my life and fear for the protection and safety of those I love and care about deeply. I've already had so much happen in the past few months I can't really function properly anymore. The numbing reality setting in that riding this out is about all I can do. Managing the anxieties of not only myself but those I am close to.
