I'm pretty sure my mother just wanted grandma to die at that age too, sitting at their bedside in the nursing home listening to senile incoherent racist rants takes its toll after a while

Got a friend who insists all the panic is media driven, that it's still all overblown, that the 24 hour news cycle is to blame because measures were put in place no need to report. "Yeah, but those measures didn't work" Silence. It's ridiculous how much people are clinging to the "this is absolutely nothing special" mindset. It isn't the end of the world but it certainly isn't loving good.

For anyone still needing toilet paper, my boyfriend said that there's LOADS at Home Depot. I didn't even know they sold toilet paper, so that's probably why it's all still there. Also, I came in to work with a fancy new laptop and headset chilling at my desk. I'll have to wait until Monday to talk with my supervisor about how I'm going to get my calls routed to me (I work in a glorified call center), but I figure I'll be working from home starting sometime next week. And I have the entire building's floor to myself this weekend so hopefully I won't catch the Roni if I don't already have it (lol).

As I far as I know it's not the media ordering all restaurants and bars closed in my country , all sports and cultural events canceled, all hospital visits forbidden unless it's for a treatment or emergency, all schools closed and all shops closed on weekends. Those people just enjoy being contrarian for the sake of it. It is not worth debating them

eBay and now Amazon (finally) has cracked down on price gouging, which is illegal in many states during a state of emergency. NYT has an interview with a gouger who drove a UHaul to all the stores to get 20,000 bottles of sanitizer and sold them for 20x the cost on Amazon after stores ran out, and the lack of awareness is amazing on every level. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/14/technology/coronavirus-purell-wipes-amazon-sellers.html?action=click&module=Spotlight&pgtype=Homepage quote:

Meanwhile over here in Finland bougie motherfuckers are posting videos like this to boast about their hoarding. We need another civil war except this time maybe arm the Reds with more than sticks and pinecones. https://twitter.com/vuorinen_juha/status/1238725332645154816 (in case someone doesn't speak Finnish: not this guy's video, he is just reposting it, so don't guillotine him personally)

We had dinner with my cousin (boomer, pretty much an "all sides are bad", centrist type) and his daughter (millennial, multiple Bernie bumper stickers on her car) daughter last night and they both spent half of the night just asking for stories about the magical land of Ontario with its heavy testing, ventilator stockpile and universal health care. I'm glad to see this has completely killed my cousin's "M4A is baaaaaad" brain worms though!

I work at a midsized retail chain, and it's been bonkers for the past couple weeks. Last Thursday we got a couple cartons of hand sanitizer on the weekly truck, it was sold through the next day. That was about the time the "Make your own hand sanitizer" craze was kicking off, so we pulled all the rubbing alcohol off the shelf and stuck it right up front. Sold in a day. We didn't have too much TP hoarding until this past week. I'm guess the big retailers were out so people started checking other chains. Had a guy go through my checkout line with 6 of the biggest packs of butt wipes. He was talking a bit with me and said something like "Hah hah this sure is silly huh? Well...Best to be prepared I guess." Then the TP hoarders really descended and we were out of everything but the silly little 2-roll packs. Truck comes in Thursday, so we start tossing TP and alcohol aside to be run right up to the front. Boss comes back to grab about 6 cartons of TP, puts it on the shelf, comes back for the rest and when she got back to the shelves what she had just stocked was already gone. We've heard from customers that pretty much everywhere else in town is empty. I'm not crazy enough to drive across town to see our one Costco. But my county is sandwiched between 2 other counties with confirmed cases so the olds and rednecks are losing their goddamn minds. I wouldn't be surprised if we already hit whatever our yearly goal is for sales in paper. It's also a giant mess because we're trying to keep operating with at least 2 callouts a day. Corporate sent out directives basically saying "We have reported cases in the company, so if you're sick just don't come in." No actual policy changes, so I'm sure people following that order will end up written up anyway, that's just how we roll. No good stories of brawls over TP or Lysol wipes, but we've had more than a few old folks getting super lovely with our cashiers about us being sold out of the stuff.

Chef Boyardeez Nuts posted:Protip: your local small ethnic grocery stores are like kryptonite for the idiots out panic buying right now. Yes yes this so much! Chinese markets are best because well, the racism homes in on them right now. But Halal stores are good bets too, because no suburban white moms are gonna be caught dead in them even during this kind of thing. This is the cheat code to food getting right now.

If these people are bragging about that, they would probably be driven to suicide out of shame if they saw even a typical American household's horde during normal times, let alone now.

I can't wait to see just how much demand the American supply chain can take before it's finally blown out. People are loving retards, buy every grocery store manager right now is probably fist bumping as the hordes arrive to steal every paper product they can find.

Yesterday I hit my local vegetable/fruit/spice store. It wasn't packed or nothing, that's not what this is about. What this is about is my bill coming to 6.66 (brussel sprouts, a tomato, walnuts and a clif bar). The lady at the cash was like "uhoh and it's Friday the 13th... this is it for you". So I have a curse. Also my boss called me to ask if I had enough food, TP and meds, she didn't go overboard stockpiling but she wants to let me know that if I need anything, I can get it. We're not sure how this will affect us but sales have dropped abruptly for us on Wednesday. Our shop is only my boss, a coworker and myself but if we need to close, she says she can spot me some money if need be but I don't think that will be necessary, hopefully. It's going to be interesting to see how this impacts the flower industry. She was supposed to go on vacation to Costa Rica on Thursday but cancelled the day before. I think that was definitely the right move. It's nice to know I'm surrounded by some good folks.

Going to work. Today is going to be a weird day. It's kind of perfect that there is a 70 kph wind storm going on right now. Just to make it extra spooky. Why the gently caress not. I made Cuban style black beans last night and I'm sharing with my coworkers today to show the power of beans in troubling times.

Can somebody help me? I'm not sure what is going on and with this COVID19 I am scared. My symptoms are a little sexual frustration combined with lack of motivation; a loss of concentration (I can't concentrate on work); my libido's gone berserk; I'm sweating through my shirt; hyper emotional sensations which seems to be unaffected by location; I can't seem to get to sleep and I don't want anything to eat; Overall I would say I feel a pressure near my heart and a sensation of water soaking into my brain. This is driving me insane.

Rutibex posted:that means a vaccine is impossible too right? no, it just means you can't vaccinate once and be good forever there is a whole spectrum of less-effective vaccines than the one-time MMR vaccine that protects you forever. for example, you're supposed to get re-vaccinated for diphtheria & whooping cough as an adult (tons of people in the US are behind on their adult immunizations because nobody gets whooping cough anymore) I don't think flu vaccines protect you forever, even against the same strain of flu if we had a covid-19 vaccine right now it would be really great to have even if it only immunized people for 6 months and was only 80% effective.
