So my company (Frito Lay) in Houston apparently isn't letting our own driver's into the plant or something, production isn't really going on a week out of panic buying and we basically are getting a tiny fraction of orders what we should be getting to fill major retailers like Walmart, Kroger, and HEB. I'm not sure the full story about what's going on with the plant but our Houston factory basically supplies east to the Louisiana border, south to the coast and a good distance out to the north and west of the city, and everywhere is blown out. I'm basically just spending half my times in these stores with my hands in my pockets or cleaning shelves since there's very little to work. Despite retail being one of the few industries left operating, it's impossible to fill shelves and I suspect this panic buying will continue for well past this two weeks quarantine.. which honestly will probably be extended to four weeks like some people are predicting.

On the bright side of all this my local vet is selling Blue Wilderness pet food for like $.35 a pound. So may my cats and dog live like kings and let my corpse rot unmolested.

If anyone's not still refreshing the Johns Hopkins map every few hours like I am, I'm here to report that they've broken the US map back into data points by county instead of by whole states. Now you can see how close your own town is to the nearest outbreak!

My job's new corona virus protocols change every drat morning. I work at an ER vet and today at 12 am our new protocols had us not letting clients into the building unless their pet was dying/dead and even then that was iffy. I did CPR on a dog this morning that we pulled out of the client's car and they basically won't see it again until we hand over the body for home burial. Sad that they last time they saw their pet was it collapsed in the backseat. Everything is being done over the phones-- history, estimates, bills, discharges, etc. Also we're suppose to wash our gloves and reuse them now? I'm not sure that the people who thought of that rule have ever tried to reuse gloves. The washing won't be hard, it's the pulling them off and then making sure I can stuff my hands in them again that'll be annoying. I can't wait until I have to build a little glove clothesline in the ICU to hang up my washed and reused gloves so they can dry! In good news, my job does have a giant amount of toilet paper stocked so we'll all be juuuuust fine.

MIGHT ..... be pushed back as far as July if the entire population is really careful about self-isolating. (Spoiler: a lot of them won't.) And that'd just be the tippy top of the parabolic curve, the infections would still continue and there'd be months and months of wind down after that. Of course that's assuming that there'll even be a downturn at that point, it could plateau for a while for all we know.

I like that Johnny Hop map because I can scream "gently caress you!" at the county above me, which has 10 cases, and cheer at my county, which has none. (we absolutely have cases they're just undiscovered 0 people have been tested and this is all the most stereotypical deep south red state area you've ever seen)

Cacafuego posted:Keep in mind these cases were likely out there, they just weren't being tested.

The Bronx MD in my family said that even though testing is available, they mostly aren't doing it because sample collection requires a healthcare worker to use gowns/masks that they cannot spare. They only do the tests if absolutely necessary. Meanwhile other doctors in various interviews I've heard are saying similar things, and that there are lots and lots of people dying from "influenza-like illness" that's probably COVID-19 but they aren't bothering to test the dead, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ So basically every number out there is mega-skewed. Who'da thunk that we'd have amazing technologies that can take nasal samples and perform billion-fold amplifications of a target gene, but we can't run the tests because we don't have enough loving plastic aprons.

Cases go up due to testing. A lot of people being tested may not even have all the symptoms either so the number is likely even higher. For that reason it's completely expected that the numbers keep going up the more people get tested.

Install a plugin that presents looping video to the OS as a virtual webcam. If anyone notices, feign surprise. Say you’ll check if a reboot fixes it. The reboot does fix it (and give you an opportunity to make a sandwich or whatever), but would you look at that? The problem mysteriously recurs however often you think you can get away with it.

My wife's a veterinarian and while she's not in an ER, she still has to go into the shelter she works through a couple of times a week to do surgeries that are needed. She's also privy to all the cases being sent over to the ER hospital and some of the stories have been real  Foster or adopt an animal if you can folks.

I’m living in self-isolation right now; my restaurant is closed so I’m taking the opportunity to restrict my behavior for the greater good. It seems like most people are (in my area of Chicago, anyway). My mom is a 65-year-old smoker, and is insisting on going to work every day...AS A THERAPIST IN A RETIREMENT HOME DOWNTOWN. I literally cried last night begging her to stay home. She insists that there is absolutely no way this (very high end) facility can manage telemedicine, and that she’s fine because they take her temperature at the door and she “has wipes.” What the gently caress do I do here? She’s pitching fits about me “telling her how to live her life.” I’m honestly thinking about calling her facility and needling them about telemedicine/nonessential personnel. Boomer Remover indeed.
