If you are all wondering how this thing is going to spread in Florida, my mother in law in Naples got free gloves when walking into Publix. I guess they were handing them out and they have a person wiping down each cart which is nice. When she was done shopping, she took them home decided they were great and were still perfect to be reused -- "I just turned them inside out" is what she said...

this is a very good article to read if somehow your feelings of anxiety and horror are at a temporary low

quote:

You call a friend and arrange to meet for lunch. It’s unseasonably springlike, so you choose a place with outdoor seating, which seems like it should be safer. As usual, you take all reasonable precautions: You use hand sanitizer, sit a good distance from other customers, and try to avoid touching your face, though that last part is hard. A part of you suspects that this whole thing might be overblown.

What you don’t know is that ten days ago, your friend’s father was a guest of his business partner at the University Club, where he caught the novel coronavirus from the wife of a cryptocurrency speculator. Three days after that, he coughed into his hand before opening the door of his apartment to welcome his son home. The saliva of COVID-19 patients can harbor half a trillion virus particles per teaspoon, and a cough aerosolizes it into a diffuse mist. As your friend walked through the door he took a breath and 32,456 virus particles settled onto the lining of his mouth and throat...

Soiled Meat
I went to Wal-mart yesterday to hoard diet soda.

Immediately inside the store I discovered a line of carts over a hundred people long standing and waiting for... something. When I asked someone in line what they were waiting for, they told me there was a rumor that they were about to distribute toilet paper and everyone was there for a chance to get some. About half the shelves were empty and there was an air of barely-controlled fear throughout the store. I was there for about 30 minutes. The line continued to grow throughout my visit and stretched around the store by the time I left.

Got home and a local restaurant posted on FB that they are selling their meat stocks to the public and scored some unbelievable deals. They put "1/2lb burgers (4pk)" for $8 and I thought it'd be 4 patties but nope, it's 4 packs of 4 patties or 8lbs of high-quality burgers for $8. They also sold a bunch of those huge commercial toilet paper rolls and now I'm chilling with some TP the size of truck tires waiting on my burgs to cook.

BTW looks like school in FL is going to be shut down the rest of the school year. From what I can gather (people are, uh, uncertain right now) students are all going to log in to the "Edgenuity" platform used for credit recovery during summer school and do the modules for the 4th quarter of their classes while teachers basically answer questions via email.

I'm not about to put up with this as my only interaction with students, we were just about to start WWII so I guess it's time for JS's video lectures about the time period when we as a people said, "gently caress the Nazis, let's kill them all."

You sure it was a random person and not someone pissed that the other people weren't taking it seriously? A lot of companies that haven't closed yet have a divide forming as more pressure mounts and people are more hop on the worry train while looking at other countries numbers and the number of closed cities.

Hi
Unfortunately the Governor said its not going to be enforced.
I expect when we hit 10 thousand dead it will be.
I read it and I think he means stay inside.
Frankly I think he made the right call but should have put some teeth into it, gently caress

Hell yeah! Harbor Freight is open even though all nonessential stores are closed locally. I needed some wet/dry paper and they were there in my time of need. However, I wanted a new p95 respirator in case I spray paint this weekend but it appears people bought all them along with the n95s.
