Truck Stop Stall posted:This kind of thing is sick. It's weird when "guy who makes ghoulish jokes" doubles down on it when people are dying The 20-something dickhead behind the counter at the pharmacy asked me 'Got the coronavirus yet?' and then laughed to himself, 'Man, the mass hysteria is just crazy over this, it's nothing.' It took everything in me to only ask him with the deadest eyes I could manage, 'Do you honestly find this funny?' and he rushed out some mewling apology. I don't really care if people wanna make jokes but that dude's gonna be on the front lines and that galled me.

Sucrose posted:Welp, as a “non-essential” employee at my workplace, I’m on work-from-home duty for the next three weeks, who else is in the same boat? Basically everyone at my work is working from home except my team, at least for this weekend. Even so, we're going to 'One at home, one at work' for the next few days until we can get our poo poo in order by Monday afternoon. Innovation via contamination!

I helped my parents dig in on Thursday with groceries/cleaning supplies and we shared a meal at the dinner table but I stayed at least a meter away from my mom the entire time. She's in her early 70's and received a kidney about 8 years ago so she's on standard transplant meds but she's otherwise pretty healthy. I washed my hands as soon as I got to the house and I don't have any symptoms at all but I'm feeling super anxious that I might've passed this poo poo on to her. I'd rather be hacking my lungs out then wondering.

Is it a good sign if assholes passing by in cars scream at me to go inside while I'm getting some air on my stoop at 2 am? I feel like it's a slight over abundance of caution but ultimately a positive thing.

I feel like it's getting handled despite the people in charge of handling it. My local grocery store here in Michigan is moving to have their first open hour (6-7am) be for 60+ customers only, which it basically is already. That's nice to see but the shelves are getting real, real bare. No chicken, eggs, milk, even sausage and beef is getting really low. Plenty of bologna and a smattering of hot dogs, that's about it for protein. No bread, beans or rice, very low quantities of canned veggies and soups and this has been since Sunday morning. Plenty of hummus though! The foreign food section has everything except tortillas.

Yeah, any time my knees ache, or I get a tickle in my throat, I start wondering if I can take a deep breath or not and my anxiety kicks in. It's been like this for a week and it's exhausting. I go to bed wondering how I'll feel in the morning now.

But yeah what ever it is it's probably really depressing. There will be massive questions over what the real numbers were in the United States since our testing is just so loving' substandard in so many places. Got a headache and the sniffles? Go home, fucko, no test for you! Got a sore throat but no fever? gently caress you! Gasping for air and running a 104F fever? Well, we'd test you, if we had any but we don't, sorry.

Synthetic Dreams posted:There has already been an anti lockdown protest in Michigan? There was, yes. One thing to keep in mind though is that protests like that one are performed by a very loud but very small minority. Most people know the orders to shelter in place and limit non essential travel are for the good of the public health and safety. They also know the protesters are giant bitch babies who think they, to quote the fuckin' president, 'have the right to do whatever we want'. They're viewed as spoiled rear end in a top hat toddlers having a tantrum because they can't go to the hair salon.

The Glumslinger posted:The guys who work there are skilled and there is a very strong union presence. You cant replace them with a random dude off the street. The place will have to close down eventually for a while if too many people are all sick at once, regardless of what Trump wants. I believe you but the problem is that people like Trump and other rich scum look at blue collar meat plant workers and go 'How hard can it be?'. There'll be a ton of unemployed folks who will gladly risk contracting COVID for a paycheck broadly proclaiming they'll take those jobs, qualified or not.

Warm Fish Salad posted:The amount of people who seem to just not care about the virus is disturbing, and the ones that are most vocal about it are almost always in the high risk age range. Yeah, I've noticed that when I'm at the grocery store and see someone without a mask the chances of them being an overweight man in the 50-75 age range is about 75%. It's weird that they just don't give a poo poo.

The Scientist posted:Also I think that if we reopen too early and cases spike, it will be a worse net effect on the economy/in general than if we had just quarantined slightly longer in the first place. Not sure why no one is hyping this talking point Yeah, that's what they saw during the 1918-20 pandemic but history is boring or whatever so no one cares about that. Honestly, that's one of the things that really boggles my mind about this. Medical technology has obviously advanced in the last 100 years but it seems like society is the same in a lot of ways to a century ago so the cultural response to the pandemic is very similar. And oh yeah, the Spanish Flu pandemic technically lasted from the beginning of 1918 until nearly 1921 so strap in for that poo poo. Anyone who thinks this is gonna be over by July is loving delusional.

Blistex posted:Because they don't want to lose customers and get a facebook crusade started against them. The Boomer owner of my local small grocery store (like, not-a-chain, bodega-style market) told me today he's only had one customer try to come in without a mask and he told the guy to gently caress off. The customer apparently said he would drag the store on Facebook and that got him laughed out of the store. I'm pretty proud of my little town.

Hi, it's me, I'm the guy driving in his car alone while wearing a mask. Why am I doing that? Well, I could just hold my mask in my hand, or shove it in my pocket until I get to my destination where it's required, or buy a special mask storage bag or box or something, or toss it somewhere in my car once I get in or... I could just store it on my loving face and not gently caress with it until I get back home. One of these options suits my lazy rear end just fine and it's the one that involves just wearing the loving thing until it's no longer needed.

Is there a point in time I should assume ive had it, but was asymptomatic? not that that really changes anything but i feel like its inevitable after awhile. Assume you are asymptomatic and actively shedding the virus right now. Continue acting under that assumption until vaccinated or you actually get sick.
