I know most of you are far left leaning, but are you not a little pissed at Pelosi’s act with the CV19 relief bill? I mean come on...

If it keeps tRump from getting a slush fund, then I am for it.

I tend to contextualize this in terms like a deep slab avalanche. Low probability, high consequences - something humans generally deal with poorly.

good observation and analogy.

On the plus side, it's been downright incredible to finally feel empowered to ask people to give me the amount of personal space I need to not deal with social anxiety. Interacting with other people is vastly more pleasant and relaxed than it's ever been for me.

Ha ha ha! Yeah, for some reason I come across as way less of a dick when I say "Scram! Social distancing!" instead of "I'm trying to get some peace and fucking quiet here!"

I bet $37 if the US ARMY rolled down your street in cushy Basalt you’d do whatever the fuck they said. And it would probably be for your own benefit. And it looks like that’s what the Amaerocan people need at this point. Post up again if your hospitals or the ones where your family live are overflowing soon.

Careful. I posted a while back, due to Americans stupidity and over worked sense of personal liberty we would need martial law to actually get people to do the right thing in this country. Turns out, martial law is bad. Man, had no idea that it was bad. Glad someone pointed that out.

Also had no idea that anointed handkerchiefs could cure cancer and COVID. so you learn everyday around here.

Yikes.

Well it’s happened. Just got an email from our CEO, that the company can not sustain at this level and is offering a 50% furlough for all employees. So basically, cutting salary in half. I wouldn’t be surprised if some get canned completely. We still keep our health insurance which is good.

[Lone Star]

cutting salary in half but hours by 100%? if you dont mind me sounding a little presidential, I'd say you just got a big, beautiful raise!

Prince Charles comes up positive. After all these years he's finally coronated.

Chuck is 71, so this could be rough for him.

Amazing he was still doing events as late as March 12th. Shows how fucking stupid this has all been.

They have mask affinity and supply. They will bury us.

Because China suspended shipments out of the country.

Thanks again for that! It's reassuring to see it from a credible source. Having pieced some of that together from numerous sources, I've told family and friends to use the toaster oven at 175 to disinfect re-used masks, paper, money etc since 70 C/158F is really reasonable (for most things--not receipts, as it turns out). Relieved to see I wasn't just passing along a placebo while encouraging them to put flammable materials in the toaster oven.

Probably best to just preheat the regular oven to 160 before putting them in for a little longer, I guess. Where is KQ anyway?

DO NOT put flammable objects in a toaster oven! You WILL start a FIRE!
The heating elements in a toaster oven are to close to whatever you put in.
If the item is washable, do that instead. Please.

"plan spend more time on the hill than in the concrete jungle. This certainly has me rethinking how I want to spend my days going forward."

Lifted from another thread. I imagine when this is all over a lot of people are going to be rethinking their lives.

That’s funny
But you’re still an asshole
All alone in your little condo. With no real friends or family to help you
At least you have your internet buddies

I'm sure he'll have the finest care, and, hey, he's a royal, he's of a higher order!

Wonder how the old lady is doing.

This could clean out the monarchy and crown William in a few months.

India on lock down. Police beating people with sticks who violate the curfew.


They’ve got a chance.

India and other 3rd world countries are going to be decimated. I'm more worried about them than us to be honest.

Where does that come from? It doesn't jibe with the info on worldometers, although it could just have to do with the time of day they reset.

Yeah ... it's time of day. That graph is latest greatest although I wish it were time stamped.

How is your county doing on social distancing? Here's your cell GPS data. Will take someone with tech knowledge to understand where the data derives. Maybe it's an app?
