My friend sent me a video of our store. We have no toilet paper at all. Not even the expensive rolls left. Wtf. Meanwhile all of Italy is  on lockdown.

 

Had a couple family members who were supposed to vacation there.

it's just a giant circle jerk

when they annouced it I was like, oh finally they have decided to do something serious rather than shitting around?

but I wonder how they will manage it.. after a pair of hours:

to circulate you need to do an autodeclaration, which is a bullshit because you can do it by yourself, and that cannot be really checked

So yeah, like I had theorized the virus has been spreading in the states for a very long time.

I've been washing my hands 20 times a day now. Looks like it'll become a norm. Also shaking hands is a thing of the past.

I've got several bottles of Isoprophyl Alcohol with me to use if washing hands are hard to come by.

Also have a bottle of Dettol to clean my desk, keyboard, mouse and phone at work everyday. The office smells like a hospital now.

First of all, I want to say that anybody that thinks that rushing to the grocery store to buy toilet paper and water is a doofus. Its a respiratory virus, not a G.I. virus. If you don't eat, you won't need the toilet paper. And buying it by the pallet load just makes you an a-hole because everyone knows you are profit-mongering waiting for the shelves to be empty so you can hock it on Ebay or Gumtree (depending on your country) for $20 a roll.

I doubt those who buy toilet paper by the pallet is planning to sell it on eBay. Some people have large families and they're preparing for the worse, and buying plenty of bottle water don't make them a-holes or a doofus. If the place they are in does go into total locked down, that means no one is out there to deliver toilet paper to stores and no one will be at water treatment plants to monitor our drinking water.

Noticed that at the gas station today. $1.99 regular, but with my TMobile Tuesdays Discount I got it for $1.77. 

I just want to sit back and watch the world burn.

Meanwhile in my county you can't even get tested if you have a fever of 102, are a cancer survivor, and just got back from another country where the virus is present as well?‍♂️

No per gallon. Considering we were paying $2.50 a gallon not long ago. When I started driving back in 2004 gas was $2.20 a gallon. So $1.77 is fucking cheap. Considering that 30 or so cents of that is fucking tax. 

I just want to sit back and watch the world burn.

I'm sorry for this off topic post.....but

 

Your Parrot is falling!!!! 

omg freaked me out man. 

 

Back to corona 19 virus spreads to Illinois 11 people the spreading has begun. No one knows nothing, no idea where it's coming or going..... Containment? I saw the kid in the Deli coughing into his arm over meat. Yea.... I kept on walking.

 

Should we get scared now at 11 infected confirmed or wait till thousands? 

(my family is very near where these people are located) Specifically NW community hospital. 

 

At what point to worry? Well now man now. Not later. Now.

 

Quarantine entire countries right now. Yep, it's here. It's spreading. I might get it. My friends and family might get it.

My age in the 40s, .4-1% chance of death. 

 

OK I won't die...... but am I going to feel like I wanna die?? I've been there before. contamination of raw and cooked meats. Oh I could have died. 12 hours both ends..... 3 iv bags later and some hours in the hospital with doubled up shots of nausea meds..... 1850's I'd been dead already.

 

I actually don't feel like I should worry that much. Is that wrong of me?
