One of my fav pubs is about to get flooded out. Again. King George IV in Picton. Flooded out once in 2016. Likely going to be flooded out once the river breaks overnight Fuckin' .

Went into Sydney today. There are so many disgusting grotty people about it makes me want to scream. Some fuckwit passed me on the ramp on the train and I heard him spit on the ground and open mouth cough as other people were passing him behind me. Was going to tell him off, but that would involve the potentiality he'd turn around and breath on me. Another guy had no shoes and was barefoot on the train. Lets just this shut poo poo down and let everyone have a vacation for 2 weeks

Just shut the country down for 2 weeks and lets get this poo poo over with. Cause what's going to happen is some dickhead at work is going to get it, you go into isolation for 2 weeks, then you go back, and then some other dickhead gets it... so what, we go back into quarantine? Lets shut this poo poo down

Hours for our manufacturing division got cut today. My hours have been modified, so we can have a staggered roster, which kinda works out great for me cause I get to have a sleep-in. IT coming in Monday to setup VPN so we have a proper WFH policy in place. Very real possibility that we're going to have to let some people go if poo poo doesn't stabilise real loving soon. Front counter is going cashless, and ANYONE coming through the door that isn't a staff member has to sign their name+number so we can contact them incase of an outbreak. My inbox is swamped with vendors and their brand new Coronavirus Policy, which all parrot the exact same nonsense, that will all likely be useless come Monday when they need to issue new ones. It's been a REALLY long loving week, I am stressed the gently caress out, and I really loving wish I had a weed guy right about now.

Severing posted:Even my wife said the dumbest poo poo to me yesterday claiming it's just a bad flu and only the venerable need to worry. I jumped on that and told her how much of an idiot she is for believing other idiots on Facebook about it. It's going to be a rough ride I think. Mum and I have been slowly stocking up on supplies over the last few weeks because I've been on her case we're going to need to have 2-3 weeks worth of poo poo up our sleeves as a JIC. We're good, we're golden. We've also in a position to help our neighbours if they need it. Literally just did a final final stock/snack run () this afternoon after they announced the 48 hour shutdowns, cause this 100% feels like we're heading to a full statewide/Australian shutdown and I don't want to loving deal with the shops when that happens. Store was packed, so the secrets out. Called Dad earlier, as he's in mandatory quarantine coming back from overseas, and I've told him to let me know what he needs for ANOTHER 2 weeks as a JIC. Will try and get him locked down tomorrow if possible. Thankfully he's going through all my old DVDs+Blurays in storage and has uncovered a mountain of movies to watch; so he's filled to the brim with WW2 flicks lol My brother on the other hand still thinks his overseas wedding is gonna happen in July, and that people will be in the mood to go. My brother is also a fuckwit and won't hear it from me that a lot of his mates are facing the very real possibility of losing their jobs. He has been very lucky and is essentially going to be marrying into money.. so he doesn't need to worry about anything atm. He's loving off with the fairies and his bogan mentality and lack of empathy is pissing me right the gently caress off.

Lolie posted:Part of the "don't give a gently caress" factor is the age of clickbait biting us on the rear end. We've become conditioned to ignore hype because it's so rarely warranted. Now the sky really is falling a lot of people don't trust the media not to exaggerate the risk for clicks. It doesn't help when you read in the media poo poo like "cases have skyrocketed in the last 24hrs" and they just announced like 20 new cases or something. Like gently caress sake.. yes we do need to be really really careful about this thing, because it can and will spread exponentially if left unchecked, but temper your words a bit.

Today has just been.. exhausting.. bunch of people let go at work. Didn't sleep at all last night stressing about my job.. just over it. Literally can't be hosed to do anything tonight. Australia's seems to be a few steps behind following New Zealands lead, and they're shutting down for a month. Feels like we're doing this drawn out staggered shut down, and it just needs to happen already.

Lolie posted:Australia is doing a lot of testing relative to other places. Last week we were at 558 per 100,000 people compared to 117 in the UK and 22 in the US. Got a referral to get tested this afternoon Looks like they've relaxed testing requirements as I haven't been overseas/been in contact with someone overseas (Other than dropping off groceries to Dad on his porch) Talked to the boss who freaked the gently caress out thinking he'd have to shut down immediately. Well.. like... loving people have been asking to work from home for like the last 2 weeks, that's you're own loving fault for having to stress about this. All things being equal I'm very glad I live in Australia, I know I'm going to get looked after, and I've already done all my prep work if I have to go into quarantine. I wish we were more stringent about this, and think we do need to lock the country down for a few weeks, but I 100% agree that we're doing better than other countries. Can you imagine being in America during this poo poo? Estimated deaths are between 200,00 - 1 million+ Fuckin sort it out
