I just saw the Pluckers CEO on TV and he was crying and saying that they have to shut down all their stores permanently because they were one lunch order of wings short for their quota today and they defaulted on all their loans.22 points

We have a new infant and are staying in as much as possible. I asked my wife to send me a list of groceries she wanted me to order from Whole Foods for delivery to tide us over for the weekend. She said she couldn't do that. I asked why. She said she needed to browse and couldn't come up with groceries off the top of her head. I gave her my laptop to "browse" and add groceries to the cart and I would supplement after she was finished. An hour later it was returned with the following essentials: one box of Fig Newman cookies, one box of fudge strip cookies, one box of chocolate covered graham crackers, one bag of salt and vinegar chips and two mangoes. That's it. That's her list of groceries for the week.21 points

Lets not go CR...but this was started in their wet markets. The wet markets were deemed unhealthy and closed in the past. The wealthy who utilize these managed to get them back open and here we are. So China should take more of the blame imo. That doesn't make me racist.15 points

I've lived with my wife for almost 6 years now. We have never not had butternut squash in our house. We have also yet to eat butternut squash. It's literally been something I've thrown away every month for 72 straight months only to be replaced again. It's my Sisyphus.15 points

Fuck China. If it costs 10% more to use Central America manufacturing, don’t give a shit. Make our neighbors’ economies better in the process so many who would flee to the USA will want to stay. Fuck China and their bat meat. And fuck the Chinese font on the Rockets uniforms.14 points

Serving #4: as a shot with strawberry jelly I should have used the jelly as a chaser. It was thicker and sunk to bottom so when I took the shot the peanut awfulness came first, which caused me to gag a little before the jelly fell into my mouth. Trying to swallow a thick liquid while trying not to puke is hard (that’s what she said)13 points

A patient yesterday, in a roundabout way, told me he may have been exposed. He didn’t say he thought he was exposed. But I put together the time line and it definitely fits that he has also been exposed. If that’s the case CANCEL YOUR DAMN APPOINTMENT! I cut the treatment session short. I’ve been calling my at risk patients today that they don’t need to come in today and we’ll get back to them. I’m sure my bosses would be very upset with me. But I have an ethical obligation to my patients, not my bosses.13 points

Economic fear of China has been lightly stoked for two decades now. We have been warned that they are buying up all our debt, they're buying up our real estate, they're undercutting our manufacturing, they're interjecting themselves into Africa to undercut us there, they're dumping our trash into the ocean instead of recycling it like they were paid to do, they're skirting international agreed standards on all number of things, and the list goes on and on. The resentment against China has been simmering this whole time, regardless of how culpable America is in all of it. I think the simmering will reach boil after this.12 points

I'm sorry, but this is complete horseshit. China is the one that was dismantling research and arresting/silencing people that were trying to wave the red flag at the start of this. They are the ones who had wet exotic markets in the middle of major metropolitan areas when we knew from SARS and the other avian flus that it was a tremendous risk. Our government's response isn't good at all, but China bears a ton of responsibility for this.12 points

just so we are clear here. you are pissed Pluckers wont sell you an item that is either a loss-leader, or a breakeven lunch special (which is clearly marked as a dine-in only option)? the reason they offer that deal is because 90% of the folks who come in order a beer, or soda with that deal. so they should honor a loss leader lunch special? The take out boxes and plasticware also cost money. The only way they can stay open is by making money. if they sell you that lunch special at best they are breaking even. at worst, its a loss. maybe you need to stick to your principles and actually spend the extra $2 that the non-lunch special would have cost there cupcake.11 points

Wife and I went grocery shopping on Saturday. The back of the Tahoe was full of groceries. Well, I guess i pulled into the neighborhood a little too fast for her liking. Mrs. Lateshow: Whoa, slow down and quit driving like Houdini!11 points

Actually there's damn good evidence this was harbored in one of the animals at the wet market then a Chinaman ate or handled that meat improperly and so it began. Remember the wet markets were closed in the past over health concerns. Those markets are for the 1% in China. This is not some issue with the poors just trying to eat something other than dirt there. China having the wet markets and allowing them to reopen after past concerns may have been a direct cause, my friend. I'm a lot of shit on COVID...but misguided or uneducated is not among those things. The Chinaman is the issue here, dude.11 points

Things change so quickly with this whole pandemic, it's hard to keep up. I've been an inpatient internal medicine physician for nearly 20 year (also not an OU grad). My community hospital has been one of the, if not the most affected by corona virus in Northern California. The change in our workday from just 2.5 weeks ago is like night and day. While there is a tremendous amount of angst, it's also been a revelation to see how the colleagues we've known and at times taken for granted for years have stepped up to take care of patients at risk of their own health. Obviously nurses and doctors, but folks like transporters and folks who clean the rooms and deliver food go about their days, doing their jobs, often hands on with zero complaints. Testing in our area has been problematic, but I think they are ramping up. Availability of PPE is a looming problem. We've really started to ration - tremendously. Hospital also had several negative pressure isolation rooms, which when needed were most often used to keep patients isolated who were being tested for TB. They create several more, almost overnight by putting up plexiglass partitions and portable air filtration systems. That capacity was swamped very quickly. It's not exactly comforting to know you are perhaps not as protected as could be, but you do the best you can. Beyond running out of vents and PPE, I lose sleep over the thought of colleagues getting ill and having to take time off. We are not staffed for this...at all. If a few people get sick and the flood gates of infected people open up, it's gonna get ugly fast. I think I work in a bubble however, of very heavy burden of this illness. Fortunately I work for a goliath of west coast heath care and hope they have the resources to protect us as best as can be expected. I feel for all those affected by the economy. Sounds like a lot of people are losing work and don't have the financial wherewithall to survive this the way I do. Unfortunately, I've got all the work I can handle.11 points

This contrast captures the current admin perfectly. A few thousand little Hondurans running for their lives? NATIONAL EMERGENCY, ACTIVATE THE NATIONAL GUARD! A global pandemic threatening to take perhaps millions of American lives, and destroying our economy the longer it lasts? The Guard and Army Corps are idle, awaiting orders. ANY orders. That contrast right there is why Trump and the Trumpkins should burn in hell.10 points

This was one of my friends on Facebook TODAY! #thankyoucorona for actually getting people to be clean. #yourfuckingstupid for acting like ants when it’s not that bad. Damn the flu kills more than this “pandemic” virus I commented with “you’re a fucking idiot” and then de friended him10 points

I get it. You want to take legitimately grounded sentiment from people calling it straight and then turn it into a debate regarding percentages of blame, and how we need all have our own shame about how terrible we also are as a people and a government. You probably were sobbing while typing it, wishing we were just better than we are. I'm sure this is known, so folks will have to forgive me, but you've got to be a fucking attorney. It's the same bullshit every time when one of you guys think you're the only one seeing everything straight. "No no no, we are also to blame! You left that part out, so now I am going to extrapolate and play devil's advocate and respond as though it's never crossed your mind and you don't understand relativism because you are probably just a group of big dummies who have never considered multiple facets to a dilemma. Let me elaborate, repeatedly ..." Right.9 points

Gotta tell you....my mental health is shit right now. Watching this unfold is like watching 9/11 -- but worse -- in slow-mo. So many people are going to be financially devastated. And that's not even talking about the effects of the illness. We're just days/weeks away from our hospitals turning into horror shows. And I have to worry about my own business, keeping everyone going and billing so we make it through this in decent shape. I think we can, but it's going to need great effort. Worried about my family -- elderly parents, including a mother in active treatment for lung cancer. Worried about my kids -- my daughter still has to get home, and will be dealing with some real grieving when she does (she has loved her college experience, her friends, and her dorm, and had all of them yanked away with little warning). And goddamit, I worry for the whole damned world. For humanity. For all of us. We have friends literally all over the world. They are all going through some measure of hardship, and the experiences are common. We have friends right here at home who may not make it through this financially. I fucking broke last night. We can't help them all. And it's not going to be okay. I need more time away, some distraction and peace. But I can't do that. I have to keep working, generating revenue. I can do so, which is a blessing. But my mind isn't going to be right for a long, long time.9 points

You folks realize that both China deserves blame, and our response has been abysmal can both be true, right? But not sure why focusing on that and our response is that important right now.9 points

This x million. I've been one of the few people I know in my work circle that had an idea of what was possibly coming but even that didn't prepare me emotionally for this. In the matter of one announcement by Adler (one I thought was a day late btw) and a half-day of upper management discussions, I had to inform all of my staff by email that they were all being laid off and that I could only keep one front of house employee and two back of house employees for our new hours of operation from 11am until 8pm. I was told to make the call on who I would keep on the island with me, assuming I ultimately decide to stay. I'm facing a significant salary cut with increased duties and hours. Please, please, please support your local restaurants by ordering takeout SAFELY. Order online directly from them, tip generously if possible, and please do your best to stay out of the buildings and try to get curbside pickup wherever possible. Godspeed to everyone in the F&B industry. Most of us are middle class or poor, we don't get shit for pay or long-term benefits (401ks etc), and we're the first industry to get crushed like a fucking cataclysmic asteroid by a virus pandemic.9 points

I am married to a man who is taking this whole thing super seriously. We are already under a shelter in place order with no end in sight as far as he's concerned and have been since Sunday. I told him yesterday that I do not care what's going on and how dangerous it might be, but I will by god be going out to vote against that motherfucker come November. If I get Corona I get Corona, but that's not going to stop me from partying voting. And just like that, I'm suddenly feeling fucking old.8 points

The wise thing to do is play along until our house is in order not start shit when we are in the midst of a crisis. Deal with the crisis and then when the dust settles build an alliance to deal with the Chinese. The entire world knows how this started, it isn't a secret. No need for the U.S. to mouth off right now like a fucking dipshit teenager. We need to be Michael Corleone not Fredo.8 points

Serving #9: Infused with actual peanuts You know that face a baby makes when you give it a lemon? That’s what I’m doing with each drink. I’m craving the inevitable blackout, but not only does this bottle taste like asshole, it’s only fucking 60 proof. Maybe I should start mixing it with real whiskey. Or bleach.7 points

Against my better judgement, I broke into the peanut butter whiskey. Serving #1: Neat It smells like the rotten peanut you get when you are eating peanuts out the shell and you have to eat another one quickly to get the taste out of your mouth. The initial taste is the fake sweet peanut butter found in Reese’s, but with a lot more sugar. Following that is a distinct taste of rubber.7 points

If you say, "Chinese virus" I immediately know that you are (a) ignorant, (b) an asshole, (c) all of the above. It's like wearing a maga hat or kkk robes. Thanks for letting me know I can completely disregard any opinion you may have now or ever on any topic.7 points

The ID docs that I consult with are using Plaquenil. Prior were using Kaletra which was a failure and seemed to cause a lot of diarrhea and bumped LFTs. As I said previously testing has been a struggle to say the least. Have been 3 days minimum, often significantly longer to get results. Got word yesterday that our own regional lab was going to start doing the testing instead of sending out to Quest or someplace in Utah. Got back a test within 24 hours! This is going to be a (relative) game changer in getting people out of the hospital, out of quarantine and preserving PPE.7 points

It’s proof positive that all those people who said trump is finally taking this seriously are wrong. If he took the pandemic seriously he wouldn’t be trying to bait people and divide us with racist messaging. Instead he sounds serious (albeit incoherent) for a few minutes a day, interspersed with race baiting and rage tweeting. But why aren’t we all kumbayaing?????? It’s apparently everyone else’s fault for not falling in line with him because of the seriousness of the situation, which he has yet to give it.7 points

Buddy's wife is telling everyone she knows that since interest rates are now 0%, she's looking to borrow $1mil to buy vacation property to VRBO She "saw it on the news" and can't be persuaded otherwise. He's decided to tell her to go for it as long as she can get it at 0% and is going to let her go see their banker.6 points
