My wife had a tooth pulled today and I had to go to the store to get stuff she can actually eat. It was a damn madhouse. I didn’t realize the state announced all schools would be close earlier in the day. Parents were rushing to the store to make sure their little monsters had snacks. Not a packet of jello to be found. I managed to snag the last couple containers of yogurt my wife like, plus some kefir. At least there was plenty of ice cream.

My take has gone from “meh” to “oh shit” and back to “meh” again. I’m concerned about my family and friends, but for me personally I don’t really care. I’ve decided I’m just gonna keep living my life, with the only change being that I won’t visit my parents for a while until this dies down (or until I get it and then get past it, which idc when that happens). Between living in the DC area and going to Vegas last weekend, there’s a decent chance I’ve already gotten it tbh.

Observation: People aren’t scared of the virus. However, they are incredibly fearful of being denied the self-affirmation of walking out of Costco with a TP skyscraper. Arriving too late with all of the other sheeple to discover barren store shelves is irrefutable confirmation of suckerdom, and we are a country not of science but of keeping up with the Joneses–especially the Dow Joneses.

Mexico, ‘that’s america at its best, what a clown fiesta.’ The wall gets built in a few weeks and they pay for it. Afterwards they enjoy a Corona or maybe a Modelo.

Nobody believed me when I told them that after I lost power in my area for two weeks that I never wanted to see a real emergency in the USA. We are so entitled and baby shit soft it’s fucking pathetic. Oh, and armed to the teeth and very emotionally immature with little regard for life, except out own.

So my mom’s shookness level is still extremely low. I’m trying to convince her to stay away from grocery stores and live off the stockpile she already has at home. Her cat died and she’s sad about that and that kind of stress isn’t good right now. I’m sad too, I liked that cat.
She makes the excellent point that there is zero individual incentive to get tested for coronavirus, even if tests were available. If I have flu-like symptoms and I test positive for corona, I might get locked up in quarantine somewhere. If I just tell the doc I have the flu, they give me the same care and I don’t get quarantined.
Also, mom still hasn’t seen Contagion, but she is now #1 on the library’s waiting list. Apparently a lot of people are on the waiting list for this movie, go figure. I’m very curious to see is she thinks the science of that movie is legit. I personally have recently seen the classic 80’s movie Predator for the first time, and I have to say some of the science behind it is dubious; the movie really has a lot of faith in the thermal mass of mud. Look, I’ve done a bit of IR thermography in my day, I have to say this movie is not entirely accurate in its portrayal of how it works. Also, It’s a shame Bill Duke never ran for a governorship. Surely he’s as qualified as Arnold and Jesse.
Also, mom won’t stop talking about how we need socialized medicine because our system right now is a cruel joke.

How did Carl Weathers never make it into any of the Expendables movies? That’s some racist bullshit right there, you know Apollo Creed should have at least had a minor speaking role.

This is really quite incredible:
“California asks the state’s 18 public health labs report positive testing but does not require it.”
“The CDC neither publishes nor collects comprehensive data, no one knows how many Americans have been tested or affected.”

I was just going to ask if there is a good map that shows where the cases are in North America but that data probably doesn’t exist.
He’s probably just going to dump them out and use the cartons to whip up a bunch of kamikaze and pearl harbors.

At this point, just assume it’s everywhere across the US already. It’s in your neighborhood right now. I’m actually impressed with the Republican governor of Ohio announcing that we probably have about 100,000 infected in the state and our testing capabilities are completely shot.

Any travel out of the community might qualify. Dude specifically said that if I’d been to California, it’d be a different story.
