Coronavirus complaint/commiseration thread.

This actually sounds kind of brilliant.

On the general subject of outlets for childhood energy, the trampoline we bought last November has been invaluable. An incredibly clutch purchase in retrospect.

So clutch

[Core Shot]

You need to get them little weight vests. Put them on the minute they get out of bed in the morning, and don't take them off unless you're giving them their weekly hose-off on the back porch or they're going to sleep. It will slow them down and they'll be so yoked by the time school finally starts again they'll never have to worry about being bullied.

Great Vonnegut short story

Yeah we are saving metric assloads on childcare costs and both have our jobs so we are allegedly "ahead" financially but most days I just want to crawl into a hole and have an excavator fill it up. Not worth it. At all.

well I am only talking about money period not if its worht it but there are lotsa people who are gona hurt WAY worse before this is over

[yeahman]

Sure was nice to go get a couple beers at the brewpub on Monday, first day of "re-opening" in Montana. Then yesterday we took the kids to a Japanese hibachi restaurant for a belated birthday celebration. I am kind of surprised at how few people are out though. I figured folks would be chomping at the bit after being sheltered in place for weeks. We haven't even had a new case in our city in over three weeks, so the risk seems pretty low to me. I guess it's just going to take time. Not for me, fuck it, I'm sick of this shit.

So clutch. Adult energy, too.

"What did I say not to do?"
"Spray the garden hose while jumping on the trampoline."
"So what did you do?"
"Sprayed the hose while jumping on the trampoline."

They practiced indoors before da covids. Otherwise I would've waited too. Didn't get new baseball cleats yet so guess we are good there.

While your at it, try sticking your hand into a good campfire to see if it hurts.

You’re the best Karen ever. Keep up the good work.

I am sooooo craving Eggs Benedict from Bacon & Eggs in town. Sigh.............

Maine’s problem is Massachusetts, New York, Connecticut, and New Jersey are blowing up. Folks looking at map see Maine’s numbers and say let’s go there.

I can imagine. Here in the California Bay Area, I'm seeing New York and Massachusetts plates around town more frequently than usual. Not a lot, but I'll be bike riding around town and, huh, there's another New York license plate!

[lifelinksplit]

Sure. I'm a daring guy.

But did you get the love boat?

I've actually gotten the opposite impression i.e. lots of people out and about. I've been kinda liking the empty roads, stores etc. but on Monday when the state "re-opened" I've never seen so many people at Murdoch's. Guess I shoulda went for beers instead. And I think montana is a bit different scenario then most places. I'm working in your county and the county where I live has had 0 confirmed cases as far as I know( not that montana has had a whole lot of tests..). I did see one of the military planes fly over us toward great divide after what I later heard were flights over all the hospitals to honor our healthcare workers.

So I guess I didnt really have a complaint other than going to work and not grabbing beers.

[MakersTeleMark]

I grabbed beer, got up above my valley and watched planes. It was a nice break in the day. Super crowded. Even a Karen who everyone wanted to smack.

Bought a 10x17 rectangular and it's been excellent.

[TahoeJ]

Ha, just ordered my kids a trampoline last week and it was hard to find one that I could get delivered sooner than later. Selling out all over the place.

Sorry, man. If it's any consolation, I'm down to every other day for 20 minutes, and no flips.

[Danno]

I wish I could get my kiddo to use her trampoline. She loves it when friends are over, but rarely uses it solo. And of course these days she's all solo.

[Dantheman]

Oh yeah, forgot about your vertigo issues. I have been spending a lot of time on it double bouncing him to the moon.

So through the stay at home, my son has worked his business by meeting with new prospects and current customers. He believes the virus could be a hoax and that 200,000 dying to keep the economy is worth it. He thinks the 70 y o grand parents should hug his kids because "They haven't been exposed." This years Mothers Day might be interesting if he shows up.

[gravitylover]

Don't let him in.

If you spent a week wearing a weight vest would you be weaker or more energy?
