    No mention of it in state obituaries either. It's as if there's no funerals.

    I have some background in statistics, I’d put my money with the scientists and epidemiologists. Trump (wrong and listening to crackpots and pissing away two weeks of valuable time) wouldn’t be someone I’d bet on anymore than hip forums posters.

    Yes, in fact the liquor stores are doing a booming business with the bars closed, now it's booze that's flying off the shelf. To be safe I bought a bottle of rum and a 30 pack of beer to tide me over.

    Today I lucked out, I was able to get some TP, frozen orange juice and a dozen eggs! You can get these things if your timing is right!

    Today I went to the dentist to have a filling replaced, no big deal, and in the waiting room they used to have magazines and toys for the kids to play with, but they were not there this time, they don't want people touching them. Sigh.

    So there's not a lot to do these days. I hope things change by summertime, I'd like to go on an extended road trip but that might not be much fun with everything shut down.

    Anyway that's my latest update, aka bitch & moan. Here's an indie theater in Portland, yet another place I can't go to during this damn outbreak. I should point out that the theater is called that because it's located on Clinton Street and has nothing to do with Bill or Hillary. Still, I appreciate the irony.

    Cause commercialised deliveries have stopped so no delivery company is working. The Chemist loading dock is using brave self contractors to deliver the supplies from Munich to Home and then we do the local drop offs. :)

    Country living ya know. 1 community working together.

    I was reading up on actions Singapore had taken, because some a few articles were treating it like it was the gold standard for health treatments, and one of the things they do is DOX you. Just punish that info right on a government website.

    Well the supplies would have been delivered by someone, if we don't do it, someone else will and that's what I find is the problem. That's why I'm angry and frustrated because that's the attitude. That's why I keep pointing out the obvious, there's work out there. You might not get paid, it might not even be your job, but people need help.

    If I end up with the coronavirus which I might, I'll quarintne myself and I'll recover like my generation was engineered to do. Until then I can't say no. This is my town, these are my people. This is our life. :)

    I know you'll understand that, even if your country community dwarfs ours, which you see, makes it just all that more personal.

    I'm already feel a bit off. My back is hurting which is akin to fever aches and pains. I had a headache earlier but that's gone. I tell couple people that omg it's the coronavirus symptoms. Yeah, sure.. That's the fear that's gotten into people. Normal cold and flu symptoms exaggerated into fear. I wasn't afraid. I still got aches and pains but my headache is gone. I'd probably still have a headache and convince my body to be worse if I stressed out all the time about it.
     
  18. Go to the doctors and get tested for it.

    Just the response i'd expect from someone in the trump administration

    A White House official reportedly used the racist term “Kung-Flu" Tuesday to refer to the coronavirus pandemic in a conversation with a television reporter.

    CBS News correspondent Weijia Jiang, who was born in China and grew up in West Virginia, reported the disturbing exchange with the unidentified official.

    “Makes me wonder what they’re calling it behind my back," Jiang wrote on Twitter.

    One thing I'm seeing on Facebook from my Aussie friends is how hoarding is "UN-Australian" but I look at it a different way, if an Aussie is buying bulk toilet paper and someone says you can't do that and the hoarder turns around and says. "fuck off mate I was here first" that's about as bloody Australian as it gets.

    Change my mind.
