Coronavirus

[jefflomacy]

The worst part of any epidemic is pretty much just the people who have no reason to panic freaking out. This rush to take absolutely everything from the grocery stores is pretty solid evidence of that. I'm trying to figure out what movie had a line along the lines of the following: "During a crisis, the one item everyone forgets about but really wants is toilet paper," because it surely had to have been something a lot of people were exposed to for this kind of craze to happen. It sounds like something you would've heard in that Zombieland movie, right after he got done philosophizing about the expiration date of Twinkies.

On another note, I attempted to place an Amazon Whole Foods order of my usual weekly groceries and they denied me delivery today and would not deliver until tomorrow. I placed the order, but I won't be surprised if they cancel it on me tomorrow morning sometime when almost everything on the list is undeliverable. A friend of mine had the same experience with Instacart.

Wow.

I went shopping the other day and it was complete chaos. Hardly any chicken, veg or bread. We were lucky to get a small box of headache tablets. We couldn't even get CAT FOOD.
What's worse, my sister and her family had planned to come over in April and now that might not be possible.
I also have a dry cough, but I've had this for ages, it's getting much better; but a friend had wanted to go to the cinema and I'm unsure on what to do.

Hope you all stay safe!

Please take the time and listen to this video (you don't need to watch), I really cannot recommend it enough!! The entire video is absolutely worth listening to!!

I'm sure that you will learn something!

Edit: if you think "too long, no way I'm watching that", I recommend just watching 8:53 - 22:00. Then, if you feel interested enough, you can watch the rest! c:

The first confirmed case was announced in my area today. We don't have many tests, so they are reserving them for those with the most/worst symptoms right now, so I'm sure there are others who are infected. I have to go to the store tomorrow. Hope the shelves aren't cleared out just yet.

Couple of cases near me now, schools are closed for two weeks, for the the time being. Stores are sold out of things like eggs, toilet paper, etc. But people are acting pretty calm about it all. Just bulking up, really.

We went to the store today because my husband realized there were a couple of things he was running out of. It wasn't too crazy, but I'm glad I picked up toilet paper on Wednesday because there was not a single roll left in the whole aisle. I didn't overstock, though, so we'll probably run out in about a week or two. I'm hoping they get more in stock by then.

I was surprised that other than the toilet paper, I didn't see anything else completely sold out, though.

 

[Xara]

it seems like stores aren’t receiving new shipments as shelves have been bare for days - that’s great lmao

 

[Mariah]

I bought twenty Japanese sweet potatoes so I’m set.

 

[Reginald Fairfield]

So it's been confirmed a TSA worker at Orlando International Airport has tested positive.

 

[Damniel]

we bought a bidet attachment lol

I hate hearing about this virus. I’m just staying home and avoiding contact and hoping this whole thing will blow over soon. I mean in China they are already seeing a decline in cases so I’m hoping we in America will soon see a decline as well. I’m thinking maybe by summer this will be over but I’m not entirely sure.

This is a scary time, I know, but please try to remain optimistic. We’ve been through worse, we will get through this.

 

[Kairi-Kitten]

I'm worried as I have underlying health issues and my mom is 70+ years of age going out each day when she is at risk ;v; She is also seeing her 70+ year old friend I hope neither of them get sick or bring it here. I am however more concerned for her own well-being i'm uncertain what underlying issues im dealing with so not sure how bad my risk is. Just stay safe all.

 

[Marte]

Starting to get some symptoms (::::
In my town there are basically nobody outside anymore, and a lot of people have tested positive here. Plus I've been surrounded by a lot of people in the last couple weeks (+ my friend who tested for the virus), so I'm pretty much doomed to get it. And my country aren't testing anymore (just sending people into quarantine) unless they work with health or are really sick. This virus is so insane! Everything is on break!

also i just hope they work on money plan for people having to stay home bc they have to close down, not just sick stuff :/

It was beginning of March when I posted about toilet rolls disappearing from store shelves over here in Japan. it has starting to get back to normal since a few days ago. Articles told me that it was not because running out of resources or anything but because transportation to deliver the stock to each shops just wasn't able to catch up with the speed people buying them up.

Also.. I'm kinda serious here, can someone please tell me why you guys are so freaking out?
In my country Japan, no one is freaking out like that, while we are way closer to China than States or Europe, and have regular percentage of confirmed cases. Even though schools decided to have longer spring break due to our prime minister deciding it, no shops are close over here and we all go to work as usual - so does my best friend who have incurable immune disease or I having base health issues and both of us are not young. But we are not being scare like how people talking about it here. Seriously, why?
