Coronavirus: Miles away from ordinary.

I was going to come to Jimmy James defense, until I remembered he is a Seahawk, Mariner fan.

You are on your own.

 

The amount of concern about it, where I am, is very low. I’m pretty much in the direct center of the continental US, so if it gets here, it’s gotta get through everywhere else first.
They did release some people from the U of Nebraska hospital, and they were on the radio saying the care there was top notch. So...that’s some good news.

I did get two boxes of cold/flu meds just in case there’s a panic here. I figure we’ll use them before they expire either way.

In other news - a coworker this morning stated as pure fact that there are two confirmed cases of the virus in our town. There are not. There aren’t any cases in our town. There aren’t any in the state except at the university hospital where they quarantined some of the cruise passengers - and there’s none in any neighboring state. It’s just crazy how gossip becomes straight up fact.

 

I was going to forgive him, but then I remembered the whole problem was being asian and you can't actually get better from that.

 

Damn, I was looking forward to watching this. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-51744374

New Bond film delayed for 7 months.

 

The beauty of modern air travel is that it doesn’t have to go through everywhere else first. It’s not like infected folks are marching in from both coasts with hastily wrapped packages of Coronavirus.

 

Okay, yes. You’re right.

 

One piece of good news about the virus is that it doesn't affect young children very much. Hope that helps you some.

 

So it's just taking people out that were used up or needed to go anyway? Why are we fighting it again? More humane than a wooden mallet to the skull. (That's a Midsommar joke. Uh, spoiler alert, I guess, if you havent seen it.)

 

If we want Medicare for all to be viable, we need a clean slate.

 

If the Kung Flu doesn't get you, something else probably would have pretty soon.

 

It's all sorted now. Seems that prevention of the coronavirus just requires a large supply of dunny rolls. At least the Australian variant. Shops all around Australia have had a run (see what I did there?) on dunny rolls as a result of the virus. There is only one known issue for the cure though, it seems to only work for dumb bastards.

 

What happens when the world decides to rely on one country to manufacture damn near everything? If China doesn't get back up to speed soon we may have major disruptions in prescription drugs. What happens if it goes crazy in India?

Facebook market has had some funny bastards putting rolls up for a fe hundred or one guy took a photo of some sitting in the bowl and commented that it was used, one previous owner, still white and in decent shape. Most supermarkets have been wiped clean of it, it's ridiculous.

 

I love a sunburnt country,
A land of sweeping plains,
Of ragged mountain ranges,
Of droughts and blocked up drains..............

 

There's two major supermarket chains in Australia. The CEO of one of them has just sent an email to their customers advising that they are now rationing dunny paper, hand sanitiser and bulk bags of rice. And the dunny paper manufacturers are now in increased production mode running 24x7.
The population has got Trump disease. (Or they think their going to be quarantined and force fed laxatives)

In the event of an actual survival type scenario, we have food running around even in the city. Big ass bucks and doe and all kinds of tasty critters. You’d be hard pressed to go hungry. I just went to the sporting goods store to stock up on ammo (target shooting purposes) and surprisingly the shelves were completely full. Yet shit like bottled water is hard to come by.

people are idiots
