OT - NO POLITICS The Coronavirus Covid-19

Are Grand parents were asked to go to war, we can surely sit on the couch.

You put it more succinctly than I ever could

Things just went nuts in Illinois

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker will order all Illinois bars and restaurants to close at the end of the business day on Monday.

Pritzker orders all bars and restaurants to close to dine-in customers by end of day Monday

Tough decision. That will certainly doom some of these establishments. Hope it works out.

I am, by nature, a Keep Calm and Bergeron kinda guy but it is pretty easy to read the tea leaves here. A country's first order of business is to protect it's citizens and this is what's going on. Get home, borders will soon be closed to all but essential goods and services.

If the great toilet paper debacle has taught us anything, people can get irrational quick. The government would be irresponsible to fan the flames by giving a hard date at this point.

Border closings (city, state, country) are unfolding elsewhere and will be here faster than we think. Government is requesting 14 day self quarantine to anyone entering the country from non hot zones as of yesterday. Snowbird heading home from Florida, they will request quarantine nicely but know who you are. Coming from a hot zone, welcome to your new temporary home at a military base near you.

Actually the 14 day quarantine at the moment it's only in Quebec.
People are supposed to self isolate at home. All this is as of now.

You forgot - "we have a quorum....."





"right?"





Silence as everyone looks up inquisitively from checking email...

As of yesterday, it's for everyone - buckle up
Pandemic COVID-19 all countries: avoid non-essential travel outside Canada

Good friend is heading home from 4 months in South Carolina, just joked that I-77 feels like being on the 401 with all the Ontario plates.

Just heard from my boss that our CMO has tested positive. I didnt have much contact with him but my boss had and even though feels good will be doing the test tomorrow. Im kinda of shitting my pants right now.

As I type this Italy is 24 hours of healthcare system collapse for sever cases. They are out of ICU beds.

Take this seriously. Even if it is not armageddon and we're talking single digits of the population at risk of passing, that still means it's people we know, care for, love, or are friends with. The "helping hand" that will be needed short term is just people being smart and staying isolated for a few weeks. After that the more long term "help" will be needed to rebuild the grass roots of the economy for those that are living month to month in small and medium sized business. Think about how we can help them when we come out of this as it will be a critical time to rebuild balance sheets and income statements for those businesses to recover and maintain employment and the economy. We can all do something in that regard.

Stay safe.

Good god, all the snowbirds at same time. Hopefully they'll fill up with the TP in the states.
That self isolate is softer than the TP 3 ply with aleo vera.

Had few beers, great short term solution.

You're young, you should whether it easily. Plus with Portugal with less than 250 cases. If you need hospitalization...now would be a good time.

Might want to rewatch Once Upon a Time in the West as well. Great way to pass 3 hours

I'm proud of what my company has done to be in as good financial shape as possible...

But for the first time I'm worried about losing my job.

Bookings are negative in the past month. That's NEVER happened, even after 9/11. Demand is non-existent, and it's going to take a long time, even after things settle down, for bookings to recover. Summer, usually our busiest period, is probably gone. That means Thanksgiving at the earliest.

Never thought I’d feel the same way I did back on April 19, 2013 but today the feelings of nervousness, uncertainty and being scared are back.

Everyone situation is different and since I work for a Big Eastern Syndicate that controls the world
I’m going to use this as an opportunity

Rooms I been meaning to paint and empty out for years, movies I been wanting to watch, books to read, and perfect time to get in better shape - I’ll study my TB12 book I got as Christmas present from daughter like it’s the SATs

life is to short to sit around and worry - I’ll keep my mind busy and minimal TV news and 0.0 Twitter and social media. Here and work is about where I’ll get my info

If you have a chance check out Dirty Money. It's on Netflix.

No but he left his umbrella over years ago and I’m afraid what happens if I open it.

Up till now my wife still has to go to the office. She's been pushing for wfh, but the owner doesn't thrust the tech's. Neither does my wife, she spends most of her time trying to make sure they do what they need to do on an hourly basis.

My biggest adjustment has been to stop using toilet paper like Kleenex

I think I solved the problem by replacing the toilet paper with Kleenex and putting the toilet paper in the safe
