      Yep, we had a local druggie throwing up outside the office a few days ago. Pretty sure his supply has dried up…

      Sure it wasn't someone after his 21 oz fix? 😉

            I believe the source of coronavirus is from pangolins.

                Not exactly the bats fault  😉 😃

                      It's still unclear from which animal it came.  But bats and pangolins seem to be leading contenders.

                            I bought a camo face mask with a filter pocket. I’m gonna head to the auto parts store tomorrow and buy some poly hydro knit shop towels to use as filters. There are several articles online suggesting that the shop towels work great at filtering

                                FYI, I’m not suggesting that the shop towels prevent anyone from getting Covid-19 either, nor are the people quoted in the article I linked.

                                      @Graeme I am diagnosed with bi polar (actual, not the 'celebrity light' version) and I have been feeling the best I've felt for some time. My wife has noticed it big time and commented.

                                      For me it has to do with sightly less social anxiety (lots of my days are spent wanting to lose my shit on idiots, or melting away into the background). I also feel more in control, and due to the nature of my job I have even more sense of purpose.

                                      I thrive on fight or flight, and my default is fight, in all its variations. I excel in a crisis… Which is pretty counterintuitive given my diagnosis.

                                      @den1mhead you might find the above interesting…

                                            @Stuart.T I'm autistic with a side order of depression, and currently I feel fine. Like yourself, I resemble the article. 🙂

                                            I think that a certain amount is that I know what a recession will be like, and I can make an educated guess how things are going to pan out. (The lockdown is likely to last six months, possibly longer. The pandemic is probably going to be around for a year or two.) So I don't feel like I'm dealing with a huge level of uncertainty. It's not going to be great, but the odds of surviving it are pretty good. Of course, it'll suck if I end up in the 0.4% of my age group that doesn't make it. 😞
