Amen! it is crazy right now! And the medea is just raking off everyone's fears, and makeing tons of money while doing it! Like it was said, ALL toilet paper, water jugs, and canned food is a ledgendary substance nowdays. I am stuck at home doing school online. Food places can only do take out or deliveries. It is crazy! Really hoping this blows over soon.

yeah I wish authorities and media could report more on actual people not dead from it and those that are healthy. Plus I think a lot of things are quite drastic tbf.

All stores are still open in my town because there's still been no confirmed cases here. But stores are definitely changing. Stores like Walmart and Target are open less hours. Many (not all... yet) fast food places have closed their dining room area and only have the drive thru area open.
Town's been quieter since last weekend though. The university closed and kicked all of the students out of the dorms, so the town population literally went down because many of the non-local students have left.

Yeah.. knocks on wood most store are still open which tbf is good unless they can guaranteed get money to stay home what should they do... I also feel sad for any company having to kick people with force due to this.. sigh.
personally don't mind not being able to go out, tbh. what pisses me off more is, for example, that my parents who own a restaurant, had to close permanently and are (most likely) not going to be financially compensated for their loss, whereas big, somewhat gov. owned corps are being financed throughout this "crisis" so they can continue production. this is a joke. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
as for me, i'll probably go out later and see for myself what kind of wasteland my local supermarket has become, this whole thing is just getting out of hand. no one really needs to bulk-buy anything, unless they're older and in the "risk group" - but now that everyone ended up panic buying, those who didn't plan on doing so or didn't want to have to kinda do it too, or they'll run out of the stuff they might need. which is just plain bs. gf told me they made more profit last friday than on christmas at their supermarket. i'm losing it. saw a tweet the other day with someone that had a full shopping card of milk. which is perishable??? what are all these people thinking tbh.
i feel like the media just doesn't wanna cover anything else than sob stories and stuff like that. for example, people have been finding out that the us offered to purchase a sample-vaccine from germany when it's completed, so they may use it first and for themselves only - over twitter. same with an us company trying to get a patent on a vaccine/formula (or sth) so the chinese researchers working on it may not distribute it and the americans can sell it for 50-100 bucks a pop. what even is this?
i don't know what the media is covering because i barely touch radios, tvs and all that jazz, but apparently the wrong thing.

I am at college, last night the first confirmed case in my county was announced, so now I am packing up all my stuff and going home. Hopefully Amazon ships New Horizons on time and I get the game on Friday as planned. If not, I will just play on my sister's switch.
Unfortunately due to COVID-19, I had to cancel my preorder of AC:NH. It was supposed to be picked up at a mall in NYS, but now all malls are closing here. I wanted to have a physical copy, but here's to digital! At least I can play at midnight now.

I was wondering if there was going to be some holdups with NH due to the virus.
I'm thinking this will happen often, seeing as even Amazon is prohibiting orders to only essentials.
Can only pray this electronics store will be open since I got pick-up there because it's kinda close to work... Although otherwise they should re-arrange it.
Also i feel sorry for all the companies who have to basically fire people for this.. Come on government...

update on my covid-19 situation: i feel a lot worse than i did yesterday. i ran a fever last night and have been coughing non-stop all day. i'm really worried about my mom getting sick so i've banned her from coming into or even near my room's door. i also gave my pet rats to my dad to take care of, because i'd rather be safe than sorry if they can get sick or something as well.
the news has also been reporting that covid-19 can last on surfaces much longer than expected. i highly recommend sanitizing things like public toilet seats, etc. right now, just in case!

Don't forget to sanitize your phones frequently as well! We always bring it with us so it's bound to catch a lot of germs and other things (hopefully not the virus). Plus, this darn virus better not force the game stores to close when I'm going to get New Horizons. It's been years since our last proper game.
i really hope you get well soon!
Damn, I'm sorry hope it turns for the better soon ;;

That's horrible. I'm so sorry you ended up catching it. Please take it easy, and be careful. I wish the best for you and your family!

Lost my job. I work with viral samples in a laboratory so I'm stunned that COVID-19 has led to our closure. I have four weeks to finish up my project (I imagine from home after I meet with my line manager next week) and then that's me unemployed.
I may be able to spend four weeks in a research lab in the summer (if it doesn't close too and I doubt it's paid) but otherwise that's me ****ed until I return to degree study in September.
