Yeah I don’t know man this whole thing is pretty loving stupid. First off these corrupt governments are on the verge of collapse so they launch this stupid rear end super virus they’ve been engineering for 20 years and it gets shot down within 7 hours of announcing they’re going to infect people with it, and now it’s this media shitshow and people using usdot to gently caress with supply chains to scare people when there is a cure and the actual virus distribution points have been shut down. Every day they throw up some new paid example of some guy that got infected (get the cure from China you racist loving rear end in a top hat) as if to say “we didn’t engineer this poo poo one of our guys got it” like we’re all so loving stupid we’re gonna buy this bullshit. Motherfucking media, politicians, and police are all about to get bitch slapped the gently caress out of their spot if they don’t knock this poo poo off. Their last ditch effort to save their own rear end failed, their incurable piece of poo poo pandemic has a cure, and you ain’t gonna shut the trucks down to my town or anyone else’s and tell people they can’t get this or that because 10 sellout bitch pieces of poo poo claim they got infected on the news. Nobody actually has this poo poo, and if they do they are literally injecting themselves with it and preventing anyone curing them with force. You watch they will literally respond to this with some news story tomorrow about how some dumbshit regular rear end backwoods yokel caught this poo poo from sticking his dick in a vending machine or something. People try to shut down this country over this poo poo and they’re gonna get hosed up. They’re virus is done, their done, this is our country and you’re not gonna tell us what we can do or restrict the flow of commerce or social gatherings, we will kick your loving asses.

Edit and yes getting blood from cats can be challenging. Dogs too for that matter.

A few weeks ago I took my senior cat in for a checkup and they wanted blood and urine. The blood looked tricky. But I was not expecting them to just jam a big needle in her belly to get at the urine. :catstare: I was thinking, "'how they get a cat to pee on demand?" then "Oh poo poo!"

Yeah i hate getting cat urine. It feels less scary when you have an ultrasound but yeah it's not for the faint of heart. Sometimes we can get a non sterile sample voided into a litter box

I live in a city full of millionaires who all have dogs that live better lives than me. There is 0% chance my uninsured rear end is going to be able to get a test kit before some rich pricks dog.

e: on the counter point, my friends and I have set up the Socialist Yachting Club and we're going to steal the gently caress out of they boats and party on the high seas when they start dropping. We will also steal the dogs.

They're supposed to be doing....something, for the kids who qualify for free or reduced lunch in Virginia. But still. I've got a 15 year old boy who eats like it's going out of style. His school giving free lunch and breakfast to all students (small special needs private school) helps a lot.

San Jose schools close starting Monday. At least me and my wife can both work from home.

My kids do NOT deal well with confinement of any kind. I don't know what the gently caress we're supposed to do. Maybe I'll drive them to a big field and use a hotspot while they run around and poke sticks in rabbit holes.

Anyways, Yamiche Alcindor should get a medal for asking about the pandemic team disbanding. That was epic.

Schools here say they wont close because the closure would "be too long", central office is mandatory wfh

So basically with schools open theres zero effective measures in this city and I should go out as usual right

Your killer track.




A friend of mine is a teacher in Buffalo, NY. He said schools are closed Monday only (teachers and staff are still expected to go in). Then kids go back to school on Tuesday, and teachers will give them three weeks of work to do. On Tuesday night they will decide if kids have to go in on Wednesday, and treat it day by day going forward.

NV cases have jumped to 14, but I am sure the schools in Clark County won't close until a confirmed case directly connects to a student or teacher. That's good news for the parents who depend on us to keep their kids out of trouble during the day and the kids who depend on school for two meals a day (which is a lot where I teach).

The kids are a little weirded out since UNLV down the street went to online only. We worked through a flow chart together of who is getting tested and played a Wheel of Fortune style game called "Is it Corona Time?" then watched informative videos from their home countries about the situation.

I'm pretty pissed about the unwillingness to test more people here, since we take care of an 84 year old family member who is guaranteed to die if he gets the Roni.

We made a massive pot of chicken noodle soup and plan on a goony reclusive weekend playing Minecraft with the kids. Nobody is allowed to have too much contact with Grandpa.

So the most at-risk group is out and about in a congested area, banging shopping buggies looking for things they don't need. :waycool:

Finding it makes all of your dreams come true
I swung by my local supermarket to get some Tylenol/Ibprofin in case I should get the Roni (I'm also totally out). It was jam loving packed and sold out of dry goods/toilet paper and meat. No chicken to be found! You could still buy canned soup, and it was easy for me to get what I needed at the pharmacy isles. You could totally buy all the NyQuil/Mucinex you wanted, which was weird.

So, if shopping habits are to be considered, no one seems to think they will get sick, but they do think they are gonna eat themselves into diarrhea on chicken.

All the buying is kneejerk reaction. People seem to be running in survival mode instead of thinking about what they actually need. Also goes to show how few people have a disaster kit with supplies.
