Jeez those numbers are a joke. Correct me if I'm wrong (I'm at work and skimmed the article) they are giving %10 of workers pay up to $1375 for 3 months.
Yeah dont bother bringing lubes, we'll just go fuck ourselves dry.
I'm reading it the same. You're a business owner yes? If so what direction are you giving your guys.

Not sure if you're venturing out much but our Arteaga is really well stocked with mostly everything other than TP, hand sanitiser etc.
They have a much better fresh veg selection than Safeway did a couple of days ago and the queue is as normal as it was before this all kicked off apparently. Not half way round the store like Smart and Final was.

Looks like I can get a flight from Dallas to Singapore for 450 bucks right now.
If the military didn't have me locked down, I'd seriously be contemplating getting stuck out of the country for a month.

It's all a lie.

They will just print more money. Like they did 2008 and like they are now.

Hopefully there will be jobs to go back to.

This could be catalyst for much, much more automation

went to costco and filled prescriptions, no real lines (limiting to one water per customer), and I saw some people wearing masks...notably an entire family of Asians.
the youngest kid loves these egg/cheese/bacon things that they have, and we've been out for awhile. Checked the expiration and they're good until May, so I grabbed a month supply. :)

i've also been on the lookout for things I might need, but won't be able to get shipped if there's a lockdown...bought some nice Wavian jerry cans off eBay that have been on my watch list for a couple years.

Pollen count is 533 here this time of year...Extremely high

almost everybody gets some type of symptom like sore throat or sniffles or red eyes.

makes lots of people stress because they think they got corona when they don't
Exactly what I told kids.
"Look at the vehicles. Do you know what that stuff is?"

At the same time, it had me wondering if the virus was made to could latch on to pollen.

For sure thanks for looking out

If I didn't have 2 young children I would be in Barbados.

Some outstanding all inclusive deals going.

I couldn't think of a better place to sit this out for a month or so.

I've had the sniffles and a dry cough for three-four weeks now (before I even knew there was a pandemic in the air). I typically get this issue this time of the year since the MANY trees in my yard like to jizz their yellowy pollen all over my yard, house and car for weeks on end. Fun times...

It's SO BAD, today I feel terrible because yesterday all the lawn service guys were out mowing and blowing leaves.... My car was covered with pollen. I went to open my car door last night, and I inhaled a Scarface sized mountain of yellow dust.... I've been sneezing all day today, with red watery eyes and a sore throat.... That's not awkward when I ran out to Publix a little bit ago.

Same boat with the cough, actually a bit better today though. I was in a bit of a panic but not so much today. Just need to stay out of everyone's way if you have a weak chest, matey.
