617 new cases recorded today between 11am and 9pm and 73 deaths since yesterday. Hard to wrap my brain around all this.

Close to 500,000 cases worldwide now.
And Trump wants to open up all the businesses in the US by Easter. Delusional fuck is going to cause the needless death of so many people. How ironic that he made this announcement after 6 out of 7 of his revenue building businesses were shut down due to COVID-19.

He's a moron. With any luck, he'll catch the damned virus.

I hope postal services keep working at least to some degree. How else can we order the books we need?

I'm betting he wouldn't admit it if he did and he'd put some kind of gag order on anyone who tried to release the info

^ True. Was thinking after I posted, the lengths he would go to, to disappear from the public eye for weeks to try and hide it and how obvious it would be given that in the current situation the President needs to be front and centre which everyone knows he loves.

Currently thinking that every little thing I can get done around the house makes me feel good at the end of the day. Hoping the little things done will add up to a big difference in the end.

In the future, people will all remember what they were doing and where they were when the Coronavirus became self aware.

you mean the moment we heard that Boris Johnson had it? Now that was a laugh. Our newreaders were citing that as proof the the virus "doesn't disciminate" whilst yer average Brit was gleefully taking it as indicative of  the polar opposite  :green:

Nope.  Got it all wrong again.

I was merely leaning more into the science fiction realm. Thinking how cool of a story could be written as we begin tracking the virus's attempts to communicate with us and our feeble struggle to understand what evidence we can identify.
Then as a punchline type scene where we finally understand its first words to us, coincidentally the same legendary words that "GOD" first uttered as GOD began to create the universe.

"I am."

I probably should have used that point in time as a thing the future will remember.



But as we both know, the need to explain a joke defines the joke's failure and degrees of failure could be interpreted if your need persists.

The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.

NP. I actually got it., so your rep as a Joke teller remains entirely intact.  But then, so far as own small brain is concerned,  the fortuitous connection with Boris Johnson proved  irresistible.  :green:

Well, my first thought was a more obvious "I guess there is a God after all".

Then I realised that he needs to take care of Trump, too, if he wants to prove his existence.

So my father aged 73 has to self-isolate at home as per the PM's recent mandate, but his 68 year old partner doesn't :scratchhead:

As long as the parades of grey nomads stay the fuck away I'm confident my dad will be fine where he is.

I'm not sure if there's anywhere left besides his local supermarket that is still open tbh. The bowls club is shut...so is the pool and bore baths.
Where in the hell would anyone congregate to flout the rules? At the tip? At Lunatics Hill out at Three Mile?

Thank the stars that they're giving me priority access to ocado's . this means that i don't have to  wait in a queue for four hours to find out that i still can't book a new delivery slot. I can find that out almost immediately.

It's getting pretty tedious , mind.

Here, some grocers are giving people 60+ priority shopping time the first 1-1.5 hours the stores are open. They all should do that. Same with prioritizing instacart orders.
