Wait.....you thought it would be useful?

[!@#$%!]

i figured it would be some sort of helpful communication not just another bitch session about the ubiquitous orange shitbird. which, mind you, has its own thread. also you never replied to the pk3 (who needs a dash?)

[Skuj]

P-Q4. Bitch.

[golden child]

So what is everyone doing during quarantine? Getting high or what?

[Skuj]

I'm very lucky, living in a sparsely populated area with much greenspace. I get out lots, alone, avoiding people, for walks. I'd go nuts otherwise. I used to be a hardcore runner, but I quit that in Jan 2019 and started hardcore swimming in Feb 2019. But now I can't fucking do that!

Also, I have a job that has not been affected, because I am deemed "essential". (Actually, I am at "work" right now.)

I think it is very important to continue with music listening, film viewing and book reading during this.

My wife decided that we should get divorced as this crisis struck. When it rains, it might as well pour.

[golden child]

Ha! I heard divorce rates in China skyrocketed because of this.


I am sorry, I hope it is for the best.

[Skuj]

My shtick these days is: "Oh man, what a fucking disaster 2020 is so far. Everything in my life has been turned up-side-down. It's just so fucked up. Plus there's the whole Covid-19 thing."

Fuck it. Kill two birds with one stone.

Hmm, well, I can report that the puma situation has had a happy end.

 

 

This cat (heh) came down all the way from the Andes mountains to the semi-deserted metropolis and everybody lost their shit - COVID-19 ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE, NATURE'S TAKING OVER! It was captured, a battery of tests were performed (blood, X-rays - I'm serious, that species is protected by law; too bad people aren't) and then placed back in the Cordillera.

 

According to one veterinarian, wild animals are not invading the city; it's us mooks who are expanding our shit and they are trying to figure out where the limit is now. Humans ruin everything, really.

I will now communicate how it is that the Germans are keeping it cool:

Keeping an Eye on Germany’s Covid-19 Battle

Germany has much in common with countries hit hard by Covid-19, Anna Sauerbrey writes in a New York Times column. “Except in one way: Very few people seem to be dying.”

Despite currently ranking fifth worldwide in confirmed cases (with 66,885), Germany ranks only ninth in deaths (645), according to Johns Hopkins data. As Sauerbrey writes, that makes for a low fatality rate: 0.96%, whereas Italy (more than 11,000 deaths) has seen a rate of more than 11%, and Spain’s is nearly 9%.

The government’s response is winning some praise: Chancellor Angela Merkel has been a model of calm, convincing reason, the AP’s David Rising and Geir Moulson have written; strict rules include fines (set by states) for congregating in groups; and as Sauerbrey notes, states have banned visits to the elderly. A more recent development, the federal government will coordinate equipment buying, public news outlet Deutsche Welle reports.

But the low death rate may be the mathematical product of another success, Billy Perrigo writes for Time: a swift and wide rollout of testing. That helped identify mild cases, including among younger people, meaning a larger total number of confirmed cases than reported by countries (like the US) that have struggled with testing. “[T]here is perhaps one lesson we can draw from Germany’s experience,” Sauerbrey writes. “Don’t count your blessings—or your data—too soon.”

I’m at work as I type, but I’ll have the next three days off. We’ve been doing small projects around the house and working in the yard. Cleaned out the garage this past weekend and cleaned out gutters yesterday.

Hopefully I’ll be finishing up some mixtapes on my days off......and maybe mailing them out Friday? I’ve really been enjoying: Hunger!

On Sunday, Texas Governor Greg Abbott mandated that Louisiana drivers self-quarantine for 14 days, but as this news report shows, very little is being done to enforce the new law.

This Texas Monthly interview with Billionaire Tilman Fertitta has me thinking in multiple months rather than a short term return to normalcy.

3,174 Deaths from coronavirus in America......will we hit 10,000 deaths by the weekend?

Michigan Governor Whitmer to sign executive order closing schools for remainder of school year. With President Trump calling for 30 additional days of social distancing, I’m guessing the earliest American kids might return to class is May. I wonder how it will take for other States to follow Michigan??? Believe our 17 year old daughter is starting to realize that a proper graduation ceremony might not happen.

Dis you mean the last couple of WEEKS? If you did, it's absolutely not just you. I have time to make myself a sandwich every time I wait for a SYG page to load. No disrespect to the Mod mods.

I mentioned on this thread that I've been getting crap speed overall (but mostly here), because everybody's using the damn thing. I guess sex went out of style. Anyway, I should've just replied with:
