Coronavirus (Covid-19) Discussion

[gaseousclay]

Kind of a trip being out and about today. It’s nice out so of course there’s tons of people exercising, walking their dogs or just going for a stroll. Contrast that with a cloudy day and it’s this weird dystopian emptiness in the streets, kinda like the opening scene of 28 Days Later [emoji3446]

Damn that’s amazing @DougNg what a pity ww only habe one 

[Seul]

First strikes in supermarkets have broken out… I was waiting for that... Give us some financial bonuses so I can spend it all on beer and Iron Heart whilst I 'll be on paid vacation next week and don't lose one € cause our work is essential (it's essentially bullshit but hey)...

It's a selfish train of thoughts, but zero fucks are given...

Similar to what @DougNg posted, but for more breeds.

I figured that one wolf's length would also work (they're pretty big), but it'd probably encourage greater social distancing.

with a wolf I would prefer a greater distance

[DougNg]

Holy fuck, that’s a pet?!?

Jooooodddyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!

Should be no problem as you already have a gun license

[DougNg]

I want one!!!

My wife is used to these crazy requests. At one point I wanted a pig.

Then a hippopotamus.

She said no

As a side note, I'm listening to a French news report which discusses the number of phone subscriptions that have been cancelled in China in the last 5 months or so:

• 21M cancelled cell phone subscriptions in the last 5 months,
      - 8M for China Mobile,
      - 5M for China Telecom
      - ~2M for China Unicom
• 840,000 fixed lines cancelled since December

(Officially: 3,305 deaths…)

Canis Lupus Occidentalis. Wouldn’t want that as a pet as I’m sure it would chew my face meat off as I slept

At least a cat would wait until you’re already dead

@JDelage it could be that some people just don't want to be tracked any more than they are already. I'd ditch mine if the UK Give used the C 19 tracking app

@DougNg I hadn't considered that equally plausible reason

I’m far from a front line worker, but I do work in healthcare. I’m a software product manager for radiology and pathology software. I was in a call today with an ED physician. He’s in Oregon, but is from NYC and has a lot of colleagues and family there.

It was wild to me to hear that nearly 100% of patients are testing positive. Injuries from skateboarding, car accidents, heart attacks it doesn’t matter.

Wow. That’s wild. Are they finally able to test everyone, then?
