Coronavirus

I thought he was expressing sadness, given the look on Gene's face.

At times like this I am grateful for being well away from things like neighbors and highways. Blech.

I searched for a "wistful" animated GIF. 😂

I envy your digs, I hate being in the middle of town.

On the bright side, you probably have fast, generally reliable internet with unlimited bandwidth. I do not.

I'm considered an essential employee which means I'm required to go in at least two days a week although not for a full day. So, no problem. Yesterday, I'm coming home around noon thinking I pretty much have it made with this lockdown. Easy days. And WHAM! Some bloke driving behind me and on his phone didn't notice traffic had stopped. Rear ended my car and now I have to deal with insurance and the body shop. I'm rarely out the house these days except to go back and forth to work or for groceries. This makes me really want to stay in even more.

I wish I could be one of those Indonesia ghost people who dresses up to scare people into staying inside.

I found this article this morning. Hope it might help.

My county's stay-at-home order has been extended until the 8th. I honestly don't see us flattening the curve that much more by then. Most people are complying, but only to a point; they're wearing masks and seem to be distancing, but they're still using the grocery stores like a mall as an excuse to get out and be social.

The Spanish flu came in 3 curves. Waves. Far more people died in the 2nd wave than in the 1st. The data do not clearly show how much of that was due to new mutations and how much was due to a relaxing of social distancing and quarantine procedures after their initial success.

We fucked up in the UK, real high death rate from a government that just sat on it's hands. I'm saving my pennies for the Great Depression.

Don't worry, Remus. Our government says everything is okay and we can all go back to work now so that we may continue to be productive citizens.
