I haven't left the flat since a late night run to the 24 hour Tesco last Tuesday. Got to say the Brexit stockpile really did pay off. Just had a couple of tinned peaches in some rice pudding and it took me right back to my childhood. Is this the Blitz spirit Boomers keep talking about? edit: my cat also getting in the Blitz spirit by hiding in a tactical bunker.

My local authority has decided to close all schools end of this week, although they've not told anyone yet as they're planning the logistics before throwing that match on the petrol.

Sanford posted:Full attendance in the office apart from a couple of folk self-isolating. Horrible director already shouted at someone for mentioning "bloody coronavirus" - she was actually making arrangements for collecting her children if the schools close, and shouting made her have a breakdown because her mum is 88 and only has one lung, but he doesn't care. We answer this on the podcast! (No, unless you work in healthcare or other situations where you will need to wear a mask.)

He does all the building towers stuff I don't understand and my years of third person action games let me do all the headshots.

Just went on a run to grab a few final groceries and get some paracetamol and loo roll for our elderly neighbours and the suburban high street and nearby Sainsbury's was alarmingly busy. There are a lot of elderly people living in this area and I saw countless people who looked 80+ ambling about and waiting in tightly-packed queues. Hard to see how we can avoid an Italy-type scenario at this point...

If all the OAPs stubbornly refuse to do anything despite us repeatedly yelling at them I really have little sympathy. There's only so much you can do.

Jfc people,leave your house occasionally, just go for a run in a public space and don't get close to other people. I'll be shaving my beard the next time I bother showering just so I have even less incentive to touch my face. But if I cared more about my beard I wouldn't bother.

Speaking of Italy, cross-quoting from the Italian politics thread:TorakFade posted:Protezione Civile is posting updates every day on GitHub, detailing cases (hospitalized, intensive care, domestic surveillance), deaths and recoveries; someone made a dumb yesterday and posted an "internal" version with some additional data yesterday, they quickly removed it but being GitHub, it's possible to find it in the history : Bottom line from that image is that Italy's mortality rate last week: 6.77% After this weekend: 7.17%

Be jealous of me who isn't at all quarantined. Going to mow my folks' lawn later, maybe pop down the shops for some entirely non-essential bag of crisps. Need some salt and vinegar crisps to properly enjoy the US market open.

Genuinely surreal being in full lockdown in Ireland and seeing our good mates across the channel just... Keeping Calm and Britishing On. My mum was talking to my sister in London last night, and even though my sister is usually a super hypochondriac about herself and my nieces, she's just chill about all of this. The power of normalcy bias combined with repeated exposure to the propaganda of British exceptionalism JeremoudCorbynejad posted:Reports that Pets At Home are running low on stock now To retain my equanimity I'm going to assume this is an organisation which delivers pets to your home to keep you company while self-isolating

Welp, my 70 year old parents (who live in the heart of London’s legal district and do a ridiculous amount of social stuff) are now officially fleeing the country to their place in France. Which given it’s in a tiny village is probably the right choice for them if they’re not already infected. Hopefully having to literally flee for the border will take some of the wind out of my Tory-loving dad’s sails..

https://twitter.com/JEGullis/status/1239298847999954945 Jeremy Corbyn has been turned into a figure for the two minute Hate for very politely asking why the Government is going against WHO recommendations and that provisions be made for everyone who'll need to live through the pandemic. Genuinely hate this country. Not even leaving people to die so brazenly can shift these old cunts.

I know you guys aren't dumb but seriously don't order deliveroo or uber or whatever. Most of my fellow workers are unhygenic as gently caress and tons of the riders believe the pandemic isn't real or is just flu. I'm paranoid as gently caress about this and i still have to touch my face/peoples hands regularly. there's no other way to pass food over or take your helmet off. There's zero chance that a driver on a 10 hour shift will have washed their hands or disinfected their gloves.

I am pretty sure those food delivery services were running a lot more TV ads than usual over the weekend when I had the TV on. Or maybe it was one of those things where you just notice something a lot more when you become aware of it. I actually thought for a bit like, this is not how I imagined the future. I imagined ordinary people would be able to do a lot more with the technology available to them in 2020 than ordering takeaways and taking pictures of themselves on the toilet but here we are. crispix fucked around with this message at 12:28 on Mar 16, 2020 |

Most of my fellow workers are unhygenic as gently caress and tons of the riders believe the pandemic isn't real or is just flu. I got a call this morning from a concerned food delivery driver (note: not in the UK) who was worried because none of the drivers in the region had access to proper bathrooms now. Which meant they had to piss out in the wild and could never wash their hands.

Throw that in the bin immediately and then was your hands afterwards and its tough to see how that's a particularly dangerous infection vector.

If/when the death count gets higher than the other countries who took more/some action, there'll be no hiding from the truth. The facts will ah who am I kidding, these people have long lost the capacity for rational thought. big scary monsters posted:I have the enhanced edition and I think it holds up alright - I guess you're not playing cRPGs for the stunning graphics. It's maybe not got as smooth an interface as modern games and combat feels pretty awkward, but the world exploration and the writing are much bigger parts than the fighting and they're good. I've just got to Curst at about 22 hours in, judging by what I can see of the map there is a fair bit still to go. sebzilla posted:It's aged pretty well, in that it has exactly the same problems (combat is clunky af, graphics are pretty muddy) but the writing and setting are still fantastic. This is true, it was never the combat or graphics that made the game. Sod it I'm getting the EE! I can't play vidya games like I used to cos my hands are all painful & hosed up but an old school RPG is a bit less intense at least.

Isn't it touching all the stuff in and around a toilet that spreads germs? So would it not be less unhygienic to pee outside so long as you have a reasonably clean knob?
