    Link000000 at work has taken an opportunistic moment of us not being there to declare he's going home for fears of the coronavirus that hasn't made it to our community yet. I said okay. Talk to you in 2 weeks then. ~rolls eyes~ we had two cases in this county, both negative. Fucken 20 year old slackers man. Leave without pay for him.

    My dad made me smile in an email. "Everyone is bored to death with THE THING and look forward to listening to your tales for hours"

    We're going to use our extra delivery pay to have a night at my house on the weekend. Lincoln isn't invited.

    DE Snooker has been closed down, I'm assuming I'll hear that 8 ball league will be cancelled too. Kind of saves my shocking season tbh lol.

    With some of these measures being taken, I might become a conspiracy theorist in training.

    There are a number of congressmen and senators who agree there should be an infusion of money into the economy by giving everyone in America over the age of 18 a thousand dollars.

    They’re following the example in China where everyone over 18 was given $1,200 dollars.

    It’s not much but it could help some families.

    It actually even worse that that because you didn’t factor in the rate of obesity in America which is at 43%.

    It will in fact contribute to a higher percentage of deaths in the US than elsewhere

    We're in lockdown. I'm out of work and will be so for at least a month. That's 4 weeks. I have enough money for maybe half that time. In an ironic twist of fuck all banks will remain open.

    Its official... I'm a victim despite not being sick. Not sure what my future holds now

    "Katherine Kedzierska said the antibodies released by the human immune system to overcome coronavirus are very similar to those it uses to combat influenza — despite it never having being exposed to the disease."

    That's why kids don't get very sick

    I don't think he does work and I'd only lose my job or be in isolation if the whole government collapses. Until then Aus has only had 15,000 tests done. We are in the same boat with the testing

    Sorry to hear this. It's cold comfort but you will be fine. You'll be able to tell your grandkids about the Great Coronavirus Pandemic of '20.
