The governor of Nevada has ordered all non essential businesses to close for 30 days. So just groceries, medicine, fuel and food (delivery or drive thru/take out only) will be available. So, its lockdown essentially. All gaming machines will be turned off at midnight , even those in those grocery stores and gas stations (yes they have those). Seeing all those machines gone black will be surreal. "Stay home for Nevada" is the slogan. I hope it works
I hope they do. if they are anything like most Illinoisans where I live it ain’t gonna happen. Words like “pathetic” “stoopid” were muted even today by people I met, about the bars and restaurants being closed and only deliveries or take out being made in the restaurants.0 -

It is bizarre. Apparently people depend on interaction a lot. Luckily, I've been practising for times like these for the past few years.
As long as we stem the flow it'll be worth it eventually but I shudder to think about what governments are planning in the background to control the markets.
I'm great by myself also. It actually annoys people that I don't live in their pockets.
Even as a kid living in the country with grown up siblings. I was never bored really.0 -

Having had a **** now I can say with clear-headedness that you seem like a nice lad who is doing their best in the face of all the sh!t going down. You appear to be copping on to the seriousness of this as time goes on. It's a shame it has to be this way and I can understand your reluctance to accept it at first. The whole thing is f*cking retardedly ruining the world and it's completely invisible. Until people are collapsing in the streets.Sorry I never meant the likes of those people who are way more important in this crisis.
My bad!

So thank you immensely for what you're doing working in logistics. Nobody would think any less of you if you backed away from it for a while. What you're doing is ballsy af, sound shkin.spookwoman wrote: »Big jump for sweden today

Testing there must have been very late catching up with their cases. I think that here, tomorrow will be when some of the people infected by Italian tourists last weekend start to manifest themselves in the numbers.
Sorry but we're containing it at this stage. We've gone long past mitigate. They're evacuating students from all student accommodations in Trinity with 48hrs to gtfo the country. They rolled out back slightly but they still have to be gone by tomorrow like, because it's going to be impossible to travel after that.joeguevara wrote: »I have not left house since Wednesday for reasons I don’t want to get into. It’s certainly not something to be envied. Also I can’t see my parents and it’s killing me.,don’t wish for something like that.
Also, fake news is instilling fear and needs to be disregarded. We need to do everything we can to mitigate this. Fighting amongst each other is not the best way.

If it was just people doing it I would say they are loons but it is also governments. They’d hardly be doing “lockdowns” unless it was really serious - they’d be “keep calm and carry on”.
Maybe this virus could be as bad as Spanish Flu and this is how to handle it.
Anyway that address to the nation lost whatever serious impact Varadkar intended but modelling the whole setup and the walk in on what the US president does when making “dramatic” announcements.
I can’t figure out which moment was worse - the “not all superheroes wear capes” bit or when he plagiarised Winston Churchill I can get behind the criticism of the theatrics but I have to say, OCD means you're doing something compulsively... That is actually an advantage in this situation so that you keep surfaces clear of contamination. It actually sounds like something from an apocalypse film. 0 -

Contagion was the number one rental on the Irish iTunes when the first case in Ireland was reported.
I think people were using it as guide if what to do
Better that that The Walking dead I suppose

F*ckall (literally none) have experience of a pandemic and movies that try to paint a picture of the situation might help some people actually visualise the reality of it.Spon Farmer wrote: »Contagion was the number one rental on the Irish iTunes when the first case in Ireland was reported.

I have to admit, I cracked out a version of the game Plague Inc in early January when Covid-19 was first written about. It used to be called Pandemic when I was a teenager. You could never infiltrate Madagascar before they shut down everything, which seems fair, because neither has coronavirus.0 -
No its really not ballsy at all:pac:
Im not running head first into war for fcuks sake lol
The doctors and nurses are fighting a war right now in our hospitals! (That's not me overreacting - that's how many of them are describing it themselves)
You are keeping the supply lines open, so they can continue doing their job... and having been on the road myself, I know it's hard job even in better times!
So fair play to you lad. Thanks for waking up at crazy o'clock and getting important things where they need to be! You're playing your part! 0 -
