Lounge of Justice - Part 90

[MbJ]

I'm in the FDA; Food Processing and Sanitation specialist field and my company is considered essential. The Caronavirus is dangerously, dangerously..DANGEROUSLY close on a county borderline just 15 minutes away.

My work: Stand 6 ft away from your co-worker. Euhh!

Atleast my wife is off, though (teacher). Shutdown for 2 weeks atleast.

Stay safe, man!

I wonder if they can work out some kinda paternity leave.....is the govt funding anything there?

Is cdc doing what Italy's doing with the quarantine? I heard they have military people bringing food supplies etc, it's not gonna be like Wuhan but it sounds awful...you're being "QUARANTINED"

my doctor friend is already wearing a mask in the clinic, he's the only one lol, he's got 4 kids at home and a newborn tho, we don't have any cases in our town *touchwood*

my friend in wellington's wearing hers after that aussie guy's test returned +ve while he flew to NZ, and wondered in the hotel and cafe, now the cafe owner is shutting down for 2 weeks. Friend said people didn't look at her funny but she's the sole masked vigilante in town.

my wife reckons western politicians are not telling people to wear masks because there are none left in stock and they don't wanna cause more panic lol.

we have a "shelter in place" order here now in northern california.
we can still leave the home to go for walks to the park, essentials - like buying groceries, etc
but no big groups - stay 1.8 meters away from others.

restaurants are still open but doing delivery or to go only.
but my wife said she saw a couple near us with customers sitting inside (that's probably illegal).
only groceries and pharmarcies are still running.

my spouse and i are working from home now - just got our remote connection set up just last evening.
i am still expected to go into the office in shifts only a handful of times this next few weeks (one worker in the office at the time). but people are sort of following these guidelines only loosely.

my son's school is closed but he still has to do his classwork + homework.
that's like pulling teeth. dood just wanna keep watching tv right now.

are you and your family self-isolating now?

the cdc sent incomplete test kits to our state - the government has botched their response to this.
an outbreak is probably imminent, they are just trying to lessen the severity of it at this point so it doesn't overload our hospitals.

but the gov't did announce they should be sending in $1000 checks to every household soon to help with this - so we'll see how that goes. i'm gonna save that money to pay for mortgage and food!

stay safe everyone!

My Canadian province just announced our first death from COVID-19. An elderly person, unsurprisingly.

The lack of toilet paper has me wondering if there'll be a spike in people buying bidets.

So you guys take measuring tape out as well, or keep it straight so you know what 1.8m is? =P

sounds pretty full on over there, so it will go on for 3 more weeks? I guess that's containing it after a botched up job at the start, cdc said will finish around July/August at the earliest, I wonder what will happen between April and August? resume normal activities while all borders are closed? Death of globalization I guess.

Are they really gonna do those drive through tests AND free for EVERYONE? I reckon doing it for everyone's a bit excessive, don't have the resource/staff for that, maybe all close contacts...

Is $1000 a one off? Our govt announced $585 NZD per week for affected people I think, that's about half of above average incomes so probably have to use annual leave or work something out with the bosses...

NZ has been isolating close contacts for the last 3 weeks and only started testing close contacts from 2 days ago, we still have 1000 travellers entering per day supposedly "self isolating" while on holiday, police can check them and deport them if not compliant, and still working on how to penalize them...we just had 2-3 cases detected in my province since they ramped up the tests to 500 per day and 1-2 of them might be in my city, a city council staff apparently, hope he's just writing tickets around the block....1/3 of my patients cancelled and colleagues were talking about visiting their places for treatments, I was like WTF should be the other way round you don't know if they're infected in the households or not....

we're all living as normal for now but I'm concerned seeing at least 5-10 patients per day, I put my chair 2m away from my desk but half of them kept on bringing the chair right next to me....social distancing man....and no masks lol...i reckon it works better if the whole community wears it...so if you have it and don't know, you don't spit it onto everyone else...but westerners....and daughter goes to kindy, so all kinda worried but can't really do much. manager had a meltdown and is gone for 4 days to get his mental health back on track, he's in the process of taking over the business but now this, lol

Edit: and I see Canada closed its borders, funny how it was racism for closing it against China, now they close it against the whole planet, speci-ism against homosapiens?

Trying to find a cure so we can watch Tenet and WW84 this year. In all seriousness, but our politicians are garbage.

Rumour in my work is that the whole UK is going into lockdown tomorrow. People saying they've seen the army in parks, tanks on the road and that universities are being taken over.
Not sure if it's true, but they are closing the office.

Doesn't really change much though, if true. People can still go to work etc.

 

[Black Narcissus]

Did a quick Target run. Not as much chaos as one would think.

The roads were pretty empty and I must admit to doing a burn out where I wasn't suppose to, but couldn't help myself. Driving in a mustang on an empty street, it almost felt like that scene from I AM Legend.

my patient said in france people rent out dogs so neighbors can actually go out for a walk, the dog owner will probably get rich with this pandemic.

Talk about dogs having more rights than humans

My first thought was you're a psychiatrist, I don't know why. Am I wrong?

Physiotherapist, lol.

Basically psychiatrist that uses his hands =P

That sounds like a Frank Miller Batman line:

Mugger: "Don't hurt me man, I'm not a bad guy. I got problems, I need treatment!"
Batman: "Yeah, you need treatment alright, but tonight I'm your psychiatrist. And I'm the kind of psychiatrist who uses his hands."
Mugger: AAAAAIIIEEEEE
Batman (inner monologue) Striking terror. Best part of the job.

I'm still waiting for the ending to that series just like how I am still waiting for the ending to Image United even though I already know how Invincible story ends.

GameStop Instructs Employees to Ignore Law Enforcement And Not Shut Down

GameStop has informed employees that if local authorities attempt to shut down their store in states with orders to close establishments deemed “non-essential,” they are to inform law enforcement that the company believes they should be “classified as essential retail and therefore is able to remain open during this time.”
