Well I really should be, but I just cannot sit home everyday...I stayed home today but was bored rigid, trying to just avoid getting close to ppl and washing hands often and using sanitizer a lot too
That's a very good question. Why didn't more of the passengers get sick? If you look at some of the prediction charts that have been put up in various news reports you would think that more than half the passengers should have been infected.
I've been on big ships. People don't have to be face to face to breathe the same air 24 hours a day. The question is a good one.
YEP, people are still making a run on toilet paper, around here. One interesting thing happening, the schools are giving free school breakfasts, and lunches. The kids have to be in the cars, and the parents can drive up, and pick one boxed meal, per kid. So, some of these parents are making the rounds to several schools. These parents live in $350,000-$900,000 homes. Come on now, really??? Now they are hoarding school lunches, and they darn sure don't need the free food.
My son and his wife stopped into BJ's Wholesale and pick a 36 pack. I was down to three and he was down to one ..... we're splitting the pack and we'll be set for a while.
Here, too. The shelves are bare everywhere, and for all other paper products too - napkins, kleenex, paper towels, etc. They still left plenty of food on the shelves, which is surprising. People who don't eat won't poop, but that is panic and herd mentality for you. Maybe they heard that coronavirus is killed instantly by paper? One upside to all this nonsense is that air pollution has gone to zero, and the heavy traffic has turned into very light traffic. I can get to work in one-quarter of the time it normally takes. The downside is that it is killing the economy and putting a lot of people out of work. Kudos to Elon Musk for ignoring the shelter in place and instead checking employees for fever at the entrances to Tesla. That is a much better solution. Where I live, influenza has killed 150 people this flu season, coronavirus only 6. So which is worse? I'd go with the 150. They need to get all the food they can so they can use that hoarded toilet paper.
At my company in South Korea we are working at the office. For many of the things we do it is hard to work from home. We check everyone’s temperature in the lobby before work. Hand sanitizer everywhere, everyone wears a mask and if someone has any symptom they stay home. If they have been on a route where an infected person was they work from home for two weeks and get tested. I can tell China is getting back to work, out air pollution is back. I do not understand this hoarding of toilet paper, no one here is hoarding tp. Masks where being hoarded but now you can only but 4 a week.
