Crown Casino in Melbourne Australia is going to stay open but they're going to switch off every second slot machine so people won't be sitting next to each other.

Genius! Sheer genius!

Our local Safeway (SJ) said they were closing at 9 for now, for extra cleaning and restocking.

The ATM thing... no idea. Presumably you need to enter the bank in person in order to exchange your TP for bills.

God dammit, a friend of mine who is retired and is constantly having medical issues felt sick today but she was sure it was just a flu and not the 'Roni because she's not running a fever and she was feeling bored at home so she went for a drive with her husband. But it's okay! She stayed in the car every time he got out to run an errand!

I had to explain to her that unless her husband was being extremely careful to completely disinfect himself and his clothes every time he got out and then again before he got back in there's not really much difference between her staying in the car or going along with him.

I also had to explain to her that most people who get COVID-19 have a fever but a small percentage don't, so the fact that she didn't have a fever was no guarantee she didn't have it.

At least she wasn't relying on the "If you can hold your breath for 10 seconds without coughing you don't have it" test, I guess? :shrug:

A couple of weeks ago I had horrible flu that also came with a really sore throat - so I googled the symptoms and apparently sore throat wasn’t one of them so I thought okay, I’m cool.

After four or five days it got tolerable so I went to a work meeting, stayed in a hotel, and then ran an open VR event in the foyer of a university.

Now I read a sore throat is potentially a symptom.

Whoops.

Basically any upper respiratory symptom is a potential infection and not even doctors can tell the difference without tests.

Goddamn, someone in a Facebook thread busted out "Well I think the toilet paper shortage is a fake shortage cooked up by the manufacturers, every time I've been to the supermarket the shoppers have been calm and sensible."
Yeah the tens of thousands of supermarkets across the globe and their hundreds of thousands of employees all agreed to go along with the conspiracy, as did the thousands of actors they employed to act out the "buying frenzies" in the hundreds and hundreds of videos that got posted online. Goddamn.

Whelp it turns out Oregon might be shutting down the bars and restaurants pretty soon here, maybe by the time I wake up. I live in Oregon and am a cook, and it’s the same story with almost everyone I know and care about, so this is about to get really bad. My friends that aren’t cooks or bartenders or servers mostly work in live music and that’s over already, I have no idea what’s going to happen.

Things are gonna be especially grim for service industry

Someone pointed out today that people who mostly get paid in tips, don't report them, which is typically awesome because then you don't pay taxes on then

Down side is that your income isn't counted, so unemployment is gonna pay gently caress-all because to the feds, it looks like you made $400/mo for the last two years, you can expect a $200/mo unemployment check from that

Good luck paying even half your rent, let alone black market prices for toilet paper or food

Going to the store to buy ammo tomorrow

Back of the house and delivery drivers should be okay so long as your shop has some sort of takeout/delivery option. Front of the house is straight hosed.
