People are saying this is as bad as a seasonal flu but would anyone roll a d50 to see if they live or die

Is this actually any worse than just regular old flu?

2% of the time, you die every single time. so yes I would call it serious

hopefully europe and the us will become more like asia after this. i think more people will start wearing masks regularly (when sick)

masks do literally nothing unless you are already sick. just another reason to put your filthy fingers on your face

my favourite bit was before things got real and people were reposting poo poo like:

Heavily Modified "Chimera" strain

My favourite bit is imagining, in hindsight, that the uk government gave this much of a poo poo about the epidemic before a couple of weeks ago

Still working at the grocery. Things seem to be slowing down very slightly- we still have tons of orders and online orders each day, but overall they seem smaller. People here are getting by, despite the limits placed on things like bread and eggs. Every so often we'll get someone skirting the system and buying over the limit, but I just look the other way and keep going because my job's stressful enough without people screaming about how they need all this milk or their family will starve.

The nights have been exhausting too. We run out of pasta, tortillas, and staples like bread, eggs, and milk pretty fast, but certain other products are sent in bulk. We receive so much bulk that the warehouse is filled with all of this extra food people aren't as interested in like tuna and snacks, so it causes more problems when the trucks come with the goods people actually want. When we don't get new loads in, I'm stuck in a loop trying to see what could be moved onto the shelf. I unintentionally waste time because I'm still not used to the song and dance of this stocking position, nor the urgency caused by the pandemic.

It's way easier when I'm on cashier duty. People really need the smiles and upbeat attitudes right now. Unfortunately this means I'm far more at risk throughout the day when constantly talking with guests and exchanging money, but I don't have a way around it. Someone's gotta sell food. I heard we may be getting plexiglass installed around the registers a week ago, but I'm taking that with a grain of salt because I don't see my company bothering. Instead, I'm just liberally using hand soap and hand sanitizer all the time.

I get home absolutely exhausted each night, whether I'm managing or cashiering. Next week I'm gonna be working far more often, too. I'm panicking over this. I'm having a hard enough time keeping myself grounded as is, without having yet more responsibility placed on my shoulders. I want to have proper time to decompress with this happening and I'm certain I won't receive it in the coming week.

There's the observation of a humble grocery store clerk.

Thank you for your service. :patriot:
