Gas stations too. I had to get gas yesterday, and the QuikTrip had a sign on the door saying only 10 customers were allowed inside at a time. I'm not sure how they were enforcing that, aside from the cashier just yelling across the store at anyone new entering.
“Sir, I’m not continuing until you step back outside” suddenly turns the situation into 11 on 1.

The reality hasn't really sunk in yet for a lot of people.

Yeah the Australian government just announced widespread lockdowns throughout the entire country and poo poo finally got real for a whole bunch of people here. Lots of people on my FB feed suddenly realised that even if they don't get sick their life is really going to be a lovely lonely grind for the foreseeable future.

The relentless paranoia is really going to wear people down quickly. Did that person who used the supermarket self checkout before me cough into their hand right before they touched the pin pad? Should I be standing this close to that guy over there? Did I remember to wash my hands when I got home last night and started preparing dinner? Should I be sterilizing the door handles on my car as well as all the doorknobs in my house? Am I really doing enough or am I putting my friends and family in danger?

That's even without all the stress over jobs and rent and money.

And on top of that everyone has to figure out how the gently caress they're going to find toilet paper when the current supply at home runs out. :v:



My advice is to accept early on that the stress and paranoia are going to be an ongoing issue that you just HAVE to deal with and start thinking about how you're going to fortify your mental health over the following weeks and months. Don't let this poo poo creep up on you and overwhelm you, you can't afford to let that happen. Recognise the signs when you're starting to feel down and don't be afraid to reach out to friends for help.

Really interesting that all these infected elected officials are feeling fine and showing little symptoms.

Hope some doctors are studying this fascinating X-factor that protects politicians.

I say start meditating every day. Doesn't fix your problems, but definitely takes the edge off. There's an Ask/Tell thread for buddhism, if you need guidance.

I drank 4 bottles of wine between Friday - Saturday and I've spent today absolutely wishing I was dead. No more home drinking for a bit, I think.

I'd worry it's the exact opposite and the wannabe domestic terrorists are salivating over the drastically-increased impact they might have in this time of crisis. I really hope anti-fascists and the Feds are keeping an extra close eye on right-wing-extremist communities right now.

Disclaimer: DON'T GET ANY MORE SPECIFIC ON THIS SUBJECT. Lowtax doesn't need another phone call from the Feds.

Sorry if this has been covered. I live in upstate NY and they have just madeit a misdemeanor if you test positive and don't follow quarantine instructions. Not sure if this is for just our county or for the state yet, heard it from a county official but I don't know if this is coming from Cuomo's office or not

btw, I have found exercising to be quite helpful in these trying times. It is quite possible to get strong and relatively conditioned at home. Reddit's https://reddit.com/r/bodyweightfitness is probably one of the best resources on the internet. Cardio? Just do 100 burpees, time yourself, and try to beat that time.
