  1. What does everyone think about small gatherings? Some friends invited us to dinner tonight... Combined, the 2 families would have fewer than 10, and they assure us they've all been indoors since Friday. Other friends invited my son over. I haven't seen any guidance about really small gatherings.
  2. My family is already pretty advanced at video games and day drinking. We're going to be fucking masters once this shit is over.
  3. Can confirm. Have been consuming copious amounts of vodka, and no covid-19 symptoms yet.
  4. This whole thing is a collaboration between U.S. intelligencia (to push off elections), the Chinese govt (to suppress new findings on flat Earth), and the WHO (to distract from the emerging research on the vaccine-autism link). Probably more involved, too. /nocr /no conspiracy /no racist to Chinese
  5. Lol, me too. Probably going to need the wife to try to cut my hair by mid week.
  6. She really works out. But her friends are normally there, too. So a little of both I guess.
  7. Same. I had to use a lot of persuasion to get her to stay home. We have Peloton, treadmill, olympic weights, dumbells, pretty much everything she wants, but it was like pulling teeth to get her to stay here. It's astonishing to me that her gym is even open.
  8. I don't understand this. It seems like keeping kids out of school would improve the situation, even if it is imperfect.
  9. There's a fine line between hoarding and being responsible. I have 5 mouths to feed, including my own. I don't think it's unreasonable to have 2-3 weeks of food on hand given the circumstances. I bought basically all of that back in January, when videos of Wuhon hospitals began to circulate and there were not yet any imbalances in supply and demand. I focused on stuff that we'll eat one way or another. And now we're eating it, rather than leaving the house to shop, so I don't consider it hoarding, but minds may differ I guess. But yeah, bulk buying tp and water is stupid.
  10. Great question. I was wondering the same. For now, I'm going to restock piecemeal from Amazon. Shipping dates on some things are weeks out, but if you order now, then you'll have it when you need it. Hopefully the demand will subside somewhat and a real grocery run will be feasible. Edit: amazon is pretty picked over. The stuff I'm getting is in the category of "calories to keep you alive"--trail mix, protein bars, etc. I'll need to find a way to get real food sooner or later.
  11. Tears at the dinner table tonight as I told the kids I pulled the plug on our international spring break plans. They don't get it.
  12. We're not as organized. Kids are 11, 9, 4. So far, it's been: - Fortnite - Rake leaves - Fortnite - Backyard sports - Fortnite - Family movie - Fortnite If we go major lockdown, I'm planning to build a fort with the older kids in the greenbelt by our house.
  13. I'm flirting with re-reading The Stand. Covid-19 has nothing on Captain Tripps.
  14. Hays County. SIAP https://smcorridornews.com/breaking-hays-county-announces-first-coronavirus-case/ Edit: I'm not sure how you can make this claim with asymptomatic transmission.
  15. Here is what the CDC says about COVID-19 modes of transmission: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prepare/transmission.html?CDC_AA_refVal=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cdc.gov%2Fcoronavirus%2F2019-ncov%2Fabout%2Ftransmission.html So yes, wash your hands and avoid touching surfaces. But even more importantly, avoid the risk of inhaling droplets that are in the air. Social distancing should reduce transmission either way, though.
  16. Have not seen this posted. As this moves from international to national to local, this will be a very helpful resource. https://www.reddit.com/r/CoronaVirusTX Rumors megathread: https://www.reddit.com/r/CoronaVirusTX/comments/fehpr1/texas_corona_virus_rumors_megathread/ You can also filter posts by city.
  17. Which is EXACTLY why a quarantine makes sense. Parents know there will be sick kids at school and will not want to send theirs.
  18. Two in Harris County https://www.khou.com/mobile/article/news/health/coronavirus/harris-county-confirms-two-travel-related-cases-of-coronavirus/285-b1c89700-4d11-41dc-8b7f-86ac9c45d64d
  19. Not enough firearms. Or ammo. Your list will only last a week in the coming coronavirus zombie apocalypse.
