    Against my better judgment and several beers deep, I have taken you up on this, potentially ending my streak of totally worthless posts. I have done 3 and 7 day averages only on the Worldometer data.

So you're essential if you work at a hospital, gas station, grocery store, or work for the police military or government, work in the media, work to deliver anything, or for a restaurant, or provide service to any of the above.

It might be easier to define what isn't mission essential.

isn’t that the percentage of confirmed cases? is it not assumed that there are many, many more unconfirmed and untested cases than confirmed?

Correct. There are also a fuck ton of unknown deaths that could be contributed to corona. A friend who is an ER doc at Herman said theyve had about a dozen patients die in the hospital since mar 1 without a cause of death they can nail down and have tested negative for corona (but had exact corona symptoms)

Corona Light?

Then it is a good idea for the grocery stores to leave their carts outside in the side to help kill the virus?

Just how long does such exposure take to be effective? Makes me wonder if playground equipment in the parks need to be cleaned?

Congrats on your wife not killing you and her not going to hell. It’s a win-win for all. 
 

but seriously, glad it worked out this way.

Still getting invites to house parties going on the St. Patrick's day weekend. None of my friends or colleagues really give a shit about this yet.

Yup. Friend wants me to go to the bars with him tonight. He’s a lawyer. Thought he’d be smarter when it came to this.

pretty sure this is happening. pretty sure lots of people have it and it just hasn't, or won't manifest into symptoms. i know thats been said, but i am saying it again. 

only way out of this is a complete quarantine and some element of total control to move/stop people quickly. 

Yeah man, but that would fuck up my weekend so no...says every 20 year old out there.

Yep.  Or put another way...

Duly noted. thank you. 

What does lockdown really mean? Is Italy forcing people to stay home at the threat of arrest?  Or is lockdown the reverse  of “mandatory evacuation” which doesn’t really mean what it says.

I tried to talk to Mrs CL earlier today about not spending time with her parents. She didn't appreciate the question and was insistent that our kids are going to go visit occasionally while they are out of school the next couple of weeks. 

And in related news, our neighbors are currently having a birthday party for their daughter who just turned 5. There are at least 10 different families there right now with about 15-20 kids total. 

People just don't get it.

Mommy, daddy or Grand pappy die. Then they will be asking for thoughts and prayers on facebook.

When two Karens on your Facebook group hear about it.

Unless it affects the younger crowd a lot of them simply won't give a shit.

I think it means you’re free to move about outside for walks and whatever. Nothings open besides pharmacies and grocery stores so no place to socialize.

Unfortunately yes. My age group is being really dumb right now.

Public places won’t be open. But most businesses will still be up and running.

Can confirm the idiocy on my social media feeds. Millennials (My gen) and Gen Z are being ignorant as fuck right now.

I canceled my son's 5th birthday that was going to be with family. Half of the attendees would be over 60, having multiple sets of grandparents, and one set of very mobile and capable great grandparents in their late 80's. He was bummed out, but he'd even more bummed if we were taking him to his great grandfather's funeral because we didn't cancel one birthday party. We'll do some cupcakes and his big gift tomorrow. We'll do a joint party with his little sister in June if all this blows over by then.

I was out walking the dog. 3 pedal parties just rolled by. To celebrate a “holiday” where probably none of them have Irish ancestry amidst a pandemic 

I’m feeling a little off but just took my temp and nailed 98.6 like a boss.  must be the pollen that’s bothering me. 

Spring Break will spread it here in the US like the lunar new year spread it in China when outbreak first began there. Huge jumps here in next 2/3 weeks 

I'm sure this has been asked already, this thread moves too fast for me to keep up, but do any of y'all know anyone that's been infected so far?

Oh get the fuck out. Total bullshit. You know it’s not going to be 3.5% or anything even near that. 

Is this millennial revenge on baby boomers? They'll stay healthy and kill the olds. The ultimate "Ok Boomer"

Also my neighbor is throwing a birthday party right now for his kid with like 12 5 year olds and their parents their. Unreal.

I’ve told my 25 year old coworker if he doesn’t work from home after returning from Miami tomorrow, I’m going shoot him with .410 riot rounds 

I made a chili and cornbread (40s in Denver) and I’m 5 episodes through The Pacific with John Adams up next. Enjoy your coronavirus, dumb fucks

I have a friend (31) who is in the resort country of CO skiing. He’s from Vancouver. They already told him don’t show up for 2 weeks

I am social distancing. Apparently it is a birthday party worth the risk of infection for.
