Choo choo here comes the capitalism train all aboard! I'm kind of surprised it's as cheap as it is.

I would be careful trusting this company. As a friend of mine of FB who has worked with them put it: "I wouldn't trust anything these guys put out. It will be an LDT from a third party lab. The test itself will not be FDA cleared. They have (up until now) existed on the periphery of legality by testing for nutritional issues and peripheral health issues as opposed to actual diagnostically relevant testing. They keep prices low by contracting with third party, fly-by-night labs, and distance themselves from actual liability. There is a reason they are cheap and accessible."

You mom sounds like a good person.

She is.

She taught me that if you're a good person that the world will take and take and dry you out to a husk. You'll never have free time to relax or be around for your children but you have to keep doing it or you'll be letting everyone down and you made these commitments. Even though you're miserable.

At one point she was president of the Summer Playground program, on the board of the historic building next door, and doing groundskeeping and management for a loving cemetery.

All completely thankless. All for free. Because no one else was willing to do it. That was the high water mark, but a dozen other commitments came and went.


So I guess that touched a nerve. I hope this doesn't get her killed.


Edit: And I'm not just a selfish monster. I volunteered with food pantry, was president of NHS, German honor society, yearbook, literary magazine, student newspaper, BSA troop leader. And I had to work 20 hours a week.

We played our first dnd session over Roll20 yesterday instead of meeting, it worked great and was a lot of fun, but people got a lot more drunk than usual. So far people here in German seem to be coping well, but there's a lot of talk right now about people being inconciderate dicks and not staying home or keeping distance.

Hobestly we went shopping yesterday too and I will avoid this as much as possible now, as the store was packed with people and especially super old people seemed to not give a gently caress! I really try to avoid coming too near to people currently but I'm the only one it seems. While jogging it was the same, I kept a lot of space between us and then saw people tm doing group exercise in the park :ughh:

Sir, I believe you'll find that although the current spread is linked with Funko Pops, the true seeds of this pandemic were planted decades ago with the introduction of Homies minifigs.

Tesco have arranged the self checkouts so that no two are enabled next to each other but that's gonna do gently caress all when people are literally pressed up against you in the queue because there are so many people stripping the shelves.

Yup it sucks, the stores here close at 8 pm and I went in at 7.30, which meant it was almost empty, but of course several things are sold out by then (at the fresh meat counter, the rest is no problem).
I expect shelter at home on Monday for all of us ....and to see a lot of people going shopping to spend the time.

The problem is people don't learn their lesson because they are not punished for their wrongdoing, i.e. not affected by corona themselves. And then they parade around afterwards touting how everybody else was paranoid and it wasn't all that bad.

I went to the local pharmacy today to grab a few toiletries, my bf asked me to grab a bottle of acetaminophen while I was there but the panic shoppers had already descended. There was a single bottle of acetaminophen left...1000 count. Tbh it wasn't an unreasonable price so I bought it anyway but I felt very silly walking to the register with it. The store had set up crates in front of the counter to keep distance from the cashiers which was good at least.
Anyways they did have a pretty good stock of toilet paper. Still no Lysol or anything though, and my work informed us we are in charge of bringing our own cleaning supplies and disinfecting the surfaces we come in contact with so uh. Yeah. That's fun.
Edit: this is in Brooklyn if that rule is still relevant.

I can report that the local ethnic store is fully stocked with rice, lentils and beans (also a lot of canned stuff available). While 250m away the large grocery chain always runs out on those.

Some glimmer of hope for us Euros, doubling rate in Ger, Fra, Aut, Spa is still high at every 3-4 days (Italy 5) but slowing down across the board.
Skorea stable at 2 months.
US is turbofucked as more test kits are finally coming in with a 2 day doubling rate, which is actually accelerating (very bad).
