I went to the store on Tuesday to get ingredients for a coddle and the beer cooler was hit hard. Mostly 24 packs.

Also, gun and ammo sales are apparently nuts right now. People are afraid of looting, which is caused by panic buying and hoarding. Can you imagine roving gangs of toilet paper thieves coming through your neighborhood? Apparently lots of people can.

Idiots.

I'm finding it hard to stop thinking about this aspect of it, and it's for selfish reasons basically, but it's the uncertainty of so is there just going to be any point in trying to live for the next two years? Which is over-dramatic, but I think governments need to get a solid plan and timescale out - a real one, not some bullshit about oh we'll lockdown for 2 weeks, when everyone knows that isn't all that needs to happen - so that people can start planning their lives around something again, even if that something is poo poo, it's better than sustained uncertainty about basic daily life.

I'm just thinking how everyone's quality of life is about to go down to a point where behaviour could become unpredictable and maybe pretty drastic. I'm thinking are suicide rates just going to explode? Cos a lot of people, including me, weren't doing that well BEFORE any of this for other reasons which this society shutdown makes so much worse. Stuff like that.

loving bonkers, man. I'm fried.

The grim reality will be that letting 4 million olds die will be less of a body count than hundreds of millions from societal collapse

If this doesn't burn out in a month or so then control will become moot and it's either mass death trying to keep people locked down or let the 1 percent fatality rate do it's thing and back to normal imo

Up to 25k € in fines is a strong motivator to not do that. I just jope they rigorously enforce it. People need to learn that there are consequences if you are not willing to do as you are told for the greater good.


Try going real early, it works well here.

Are your courts open to do anything about It?

No amount of fines will mean anything very shortly. There's no infrastructure to enforce anything beyond judge dred extrajudicial murder and everyone's going to realize it very soon.

But I'm sure in the crippled new world that will emerge from this they will dutifully go about processing quarantine busters? Lol no it's going to be a poo poo show and they'll quietly drop the hundreds of thousands of cases.

The only consequences that matter very soon is "can this cop kill me before the mob I'm part of drags them down and pulls them limb from limb"

The question is, how far behind NY is your town, and have they started practicing social distancing.

If you made it to this point without any of you or your family getting sick, congratulations, you've completed the tutorial. Press A to continue to Level 1. If you still have your facemask from the beginning of the tutorial, you may keep it in your inventory for Level 1.

Level 1's goal is to survive until June 15.

Level 2 begins June 16. If you survive to Level 2 you get a bonus face mask.

Being a parent is 100% voluntarily, there are paths that create children they don't just show up one day at your door.


Also I think goon a with 17 month old is not guilt tripping maybe you have a guilty conscience?.



Yes being stuck inside with kids and not a lot of outlets for entertainment isn't ideal but let's not yell at each other.

Being a parent is only voluntary until you are a parent. Then it's absolutely mandatory I would hope.

You're putting words in my mouth - when did I ever say that all governments are bad? And how is this self submitted video by a Japanese businessman considered propaganda?

I never said anything about how good the Chinese government is but rather that the Western media's attack on China is unwarranted and pretty clear on what their agenda is.

Do I think the CCP suppresses information? Yes. Do I think the CCP has committed and commits human rights violations? Yes. Do I think that the CCP maliciously tried to or even continues to try and cover up the real extent of this virus? No.


Clearly you have never visited or lived in China - let alone have anyone you communicate with there. Do you understand how easy it is to get past the "Great Firewall"?

Why would a genocidal dictatorship based on strong man dear leader have any reason to lie!?
