It’s supposed to be terrifying. The news channels are basically making their own real time disaster film, and are loving every minute of it.
Real life mortality rates are still very low as long as governments ensure there’s enough food and money to go round.

My mom was in the hospital in January. I made some posts about it. She was completely unable to breathe at all. Pretty much all the symptoms match minus the fever. She initially tested negative for the flu. They just said she had pneumonia, gave her some antibiotics and sent her home. We had to take her back 3 days later. and she was in the hospital for a week.
Still don’t think it was this though. As has been pointed out, if this was here earlier running wild we’d be seeing what we’re seeing much sooner. This is simply so contagious there is no way it was here running wild without hospitals being overwhelmed and us knowing about it.

I swear every 6 hours on Twitter some new celebrity is trending and every time I expect they have came down with COVID-19. Vin Scully is trending now, and no he doesn’t have the virus, but damn was I shook there for a good 10 seconds.
I really hate that asshole that does the Denzel Washington meme every time a celebrity is trending. He should be nuked into the sun 1000x.

You help people get a good night’s sleep. That’s crucial.

Fuck, it just occurred to me there is gonna be a decent amount of sick people who hear, “Great news, no covid! However, you do you have hypermegaebolaids. So there’s that.”

Are there any companies that benefit from increased divorce rates that I can buy stock in?

USA#1 looks like it has the purest exponential growth of any country right now. Worse than Italy, France or Spain. But a big part of that is probably the exponential growth of testing capacity rather than of actual cases? So we won’t know how the actual cases are spreading on a daily basis until the testing capacity reaches a certain point.

I actually think most people like each other. Spending more time together in the face of adversity is gonna bring people closer

But srsly, that’s not what healthy means in this regard. It means, like, have you ever ‘gotten sick’ as an adult?
Tinder?
There were 2 domestic disturbances (that I know of) at my apartment building tonight. They are the first 2 since I moved in 2 months ago.
