@KratosMD Then the careless people who are affected by complain about how we didn't do enough even though they complained so much about the overreaction when action was taken.
Anyhow, even though we only have about 30 confirmed cases so far in my state (Missouri), rumours are spreading that we may be undergoing a state wide lockdown soon (although there's been no official indication).
My mother works for a grocery store and says that some of their delivery drivers have noticed checkpoints/barricades being set up on the highways and are recieving letters stating that they will be needing paperwork that indicates that they are operating on a necessity basis (apparently a nurse acquaintance of hers has recieved one of these letters as well). Even someone who stopped into my work said her boyfriend (who is some sort of driver) recieved one of these letters.

Hey y’all, been off the net for a couple of days (do people still say net?). 9 days into isolation and things are starting to get into a routine. We are lucky that we have been able to shop ok and get what we need. No sign of me or the missus getting ill which is good. The bad news is that my wife is doing video calls with her family every night so I am talking to them more than I did before we went into isolation.
Seen Frozen 2 several times now. I have issues with that film.
Hope everyone is doing ok?
Now I may be an idiot, but there's one thing I am not sir, and that sir, is an idiot
Only yesterday here in Italy 627 deaths.
And people still acting like we are in holiday, ignoring all the preucations, or going crazy wasting medical supplies and raiding shops while the things to do are very easy: shopping once per week and staying at home...
In the meantime I've lost my job for next two months.
I only hope my hold PS4 won't break right now...
@andreoni79 Just stay safe. My focus has shifted from getting temporary work to simply not getting this virus. Will you still get some sort of paymemt?
@RogerRoger Watch out for the dizziness, I've seen some people saying it can make you walk into the wall if you're not careful. If it is indeed it, like you say. It really doesn't help that there are so many bad colds going around at the minute.
Good job, Parappa. You can go on to the next stage now.
@Rudy_Manchego Since work called me in for the last couple of days to shut the place down, I'm now on my first day proper of isolation with the family. Already this morning has felt like a month, it's basically just running around the house diffusing arguments.
Good job, Parappa. You can go on to the next stage now.
@Gremio108 The government will pay workers like me 80% of the wage for max 9 weeks, but since I work for a tour operator I'm worried for the rest of the year...
In the meantime, weather forecasts talk about snow in the next week! This would be funny if it wasn't real!
For me, things haven’t changed too much locally. I’ve been on leave the last few days and if anything there have been more people out and about.
We’ve only been out for food and to walk the dog. Food shopping has been chaos. Walking the dog has been fine as the woods we go to are so big you can easily not run into someone else.
I’ve also been out for a run as I figure keeping fitness up will be important for what’s coming. Looking at getting one of those turbo trainers to use my bike indoors but don’t know if I can get a tyre for my bike as it’s a hybrid.
Back to work at the hospital next week which won’t be fun as loads of people are on leave (all leave has to be used by the end of March).
@Thrillho What you say was allowed here until yesterday. One was free to do some sport or walk the dog unless alone and respecting the 1,5 distance between each other. From today, because of few running and biking in groups or gathering in dog's areas, one can only walk within a range of 200 meters from his home.
@andreoni79 Yeah, I'm worried about the after-effects for a lot of businesses. We need this virus beat before the summer starts, and hopefully the tourism industries across Europe can have a good summer. People are going to want to get out and about as soon as they're allowed to, so hopefully there will be a bit of a tourism boom. But who knows?
Good job, Parappa. You can go on to the next stage now.
@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy You too, Foxy! We're treating this pretty seriously and have effectively limited the number of ways we might get infected (closed work to foot traffic and only take in computers via appointment now; are limiting shopping trips to once a week; have canceled all of our usual outings), so we'd have to be very unlucky to get smacked with it.
My mother does have to go to a hospital that is explicitly dealing with some suspected cases next week, though. Not happy about that.

@Gremio108 Doesnt look like it'll be beat any time soon, but hopefully it eases enough in 3 months to let people get closer to normal again. But then it might all kick off again, though hopefully not as strongly. And then rinse and repeat for a year or two lol
We’ve somehow managed to get more food in the local wee shop than in Aldi, where the shelves were emptied. My mum’s still having to go to work at Paperchase, who are refusing to close their shops despite the fact it isn’t essential goods. And yet she found out through the company’s Instagram that they’re staying open even though almost every other store in Glasgow has shut. It’s genuinely ridiculous that they’re forcing the staff to come in so they can sell stationary and diaries to grannies refusing to stay at home.
