So I went to the grocery store today and stocked up on supplies. Not to protect myself from a virus. That wasn't my worry. To protect myself from idiots clearing the shelves thinking that it's the end times. Regardless of what happens, they've bought up a bunch of shit that nobody who needs it on a normal basis will be able to get now. You know what I wish? That this threat was actually at the level that they think it's at and kills off the stupid people.
If anything, I stocked up on stuff that will come in handy in case of an earthquake because my kits needed updating. We'll be sitting pretty if the big one hits in the next six months to a year. And prepared for human stupidity if they make this shit out to be the drama they desperately want it to be. Still won't be able to pay rent if that happens, but we'll have pasta and rice and canned soup to eat under the bridge in our car at least.
Always a silver lining

Yeah, I imagine somewhere in TX my sister is dusting off her Y2K end of the world food rations and feeling pleased with herself that she was already prepared.So I went to the grocery store today and stocked up on supplies.

Your ability to maintain a positive outlook in the face of adversity is truly inspiring.We'll be sitting pretty if the big one hits in the next six months to a year.

You are talking to a woman who has laughed in the face of death, sneered at doom and chuckled at catastrophe.

Gooble goble gooble goble one of us one of us.
I tried to call my doctor's office this morning to set up a blood pressure check up and I was NUMBER 96 IN QUEUE.
People are freaking out over everything.
I can still buy toilet paper, tho.
We've actually been buying our toilet paper, paper towels and coffee in bulk and having it delivered for the last year now to save money. So we're set in that department, thankfully. We just recieved a shipment last week of that stuff so we're good for now. Dog food too. All of that stuff is going to be gone because of people squandering it out of fear.I tried to call my doctor's office this morning to set up a blood pressure check up and I was NUMBER 96 IN QUEUE.

This girl is pissed, I went on amazon to order my normal things such as emergen c and they were out. Only time in 10 years. People are getting crazy. lol
FFS. It's insane
My worry is for the folks that can't get to the grocery store often and don't have the ability to stock up because of mobility/money issues. Which, ironically enough, are the people that probably need it more than "Ted and Nancy Morrison who are lawyers and have 2.5 kids and amazing insurance". It's sad how people have been so conditioned to be "ME FIRST, FUCK EVERYONE ELSE" in this country.

The government's top infectious disease expert on Sunday said that the coronavirus outbreak is getting worse and warned elderly and sick people to think twice before traveling or circulating in crowds.

ugh. We have a film series every year. 400-500 people, many of them oldish every week for 10 weeks. This is week nine. I'm hoping the Trump pandemic doesn't hurt attendance. I'm also hoping we don't spread the plague. moooo
So what's a large social gathering? 500, 1000, more?
I have tickets to two different concerts at the end of this month. I am beginning to wonder if they might cancel at this point.

Good question. Our attendance was a little down last night, but it often is late in the season, also, the movie wasn't one of the strongest, so we were iffy about it already. Also Million Dollar Quartet was in town for two shows (we went to the matinee) probably 2500 people shoehorned together... Our movie theatre seats about 600. People are squeezed into the lobby like sardeens. No way NOT to breathe and cough on each other. If anyone was sick, we are all doomed. Then you get your popcorn and eat it with your hands then touch the armrest???https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/mee...osure-n1152501

I'm not. You wouldn't know it from my posts here, but I've always been a believer in keeping my immune system strong my challenging it with "a little healthy dirt" not babying it with antibacterial wipes, I get my flu shot and go on about my business, but this feels different. And of course my house is full of invalids.
Damn, I really wanted to go see the Impractical Jokers movie. Should I not risk it?
Happy Birthday! I hid a dead body in your backyard to celebrate. Good luck finding it under the cement. You can only use a stick to look for it.
Wait till it comes out on streaming or Redbox.Damn, I really wanted to go see the Impractical Jokers movie. Should I not risk it?
I say I am a germaphobe, but the only thing I do is apply sanitizer. My real reason for not going to the movie theater is because I prefer to watch movies at home because I hate people yacking during movies. I will go to concerts and everywhere else like normal.
Same! I have gone to the theaters like, 2 times in the last decade. I was just going to wait until Impractical Jokers came out but my sister called me to tell me how hilarious it was, and now I don't know if I can wait

It?s in Ohio now.
I went to the park today and there was a big snotty loogie (sp?) on the equipment. I was like nope. Bye.
And so it begins. Our first client who's job may require her to work from home until further notice. Thankfully, she says regardless she will need us so we won't be losing the income, but it's unnerving to hear this.
So far, nobody but one client has cancelled travel plans and I completely understand that one since they have four kids and were planning on going to Italy. In a strange twist of fate, this week is even busier than it was for Christmas for us. Normally this would be an opportunity for us to get ahead, but it may actually have to go towards sustaining us if we get locked down or have people start working from home.
