Virginia lockdown extended for 2 1/2 more months
Common sense is in desperately low supply.
At some point, whether or not we've precipitated a cascade of societal collapse from which we cannot hope to recover for decades, we will be forced to leave our homes and live our lives.
At that point, a virus that is as contagious as a head cold and has been suppressed only by unnatural and unsustainable suppression of human activity will necessarily surge among the active, working-age and school-age part of the population.
Most of these cases will be mild; recoverable without medical intervention. If China Virus is as contagious as the common cold, its eventual spread through the general population is inevitable.
We must then take extraordinary measures to protect those who have existing conditions which compromise lung and/or immune-system function.
We must eventually accept that a virus passed as easily as a head cold calls for focuses protection for those susceptible to serious cases rather than attempts to prevent the more mild cases.
A sane course of action will eventually be forced on us by practical reality.
How much are we willing to destroy before we arrive at this inevitable point?

I think the key phrase is 'at some point'. The question is 'when' is that 'at some point'?
I've been earmarking April 6 as kind of the baseline data point to assess just WTF is happening. We already have historical data that 12,469 people died from H1N1 and we? didn't do jack shit. I had to have my daughter remind me that she got a really bad case of the flu that year - but we never seriously considered she had Swine Flu...suck it up and rub some dirt on it, sweetheart.
The Throbber Casino set the initial line at 5,000 dead. Sucked in a few with the under, sucked in a few with the over. (See how that works, @Hhusky? The house ALWAYS wins and then resets the line because MAFF and shit based on data not TDS hatred).
In a little over two weeks, it looks like the Trump Cocktail (not pool cleaner, you dicks, actual medicine) is probably the right path to save the most afflicted. So fire that shit up and get more produced -Murica! It's what we do. Just saw this morning that GM is stepping up ventilator production. Give them a couple weeks and they'll pump those fuckers out like candy. Not all that worried medium term in the US ability to innovate and produce. It's not like we're? a bunch of sniveling Frenchies sucking on clove cigarettes and bemoaning truffles v. cheese or some shit.
I guess what it comes down to is - are you on Team America Kicks Ass and we figure it out simultaneously as individuals (wash your fucking hands) and capitalists (see above ventilators, masks being sewn by god knows how many seamstresses around the country) or you are on Team Woe is Me/Bad Orange Man/Do Something? Choose wisely because you'll probably die sucking your thumb sitting in a corner. You probably would have anyway because but but Trump.
I happen to think Team America Kicks Ass is in full on kick ass mode about 3 weeks from now.

I was after some pricing and the sub asked me if we were still working. I said we are pricing work still because someday the world will wake up and go - fuck I need a job. I'm risking my life staying at home posting on hardcore husky and pricing future work
Not all heroes wear capes.
The ultra conspiracy is that we just signed on to the green new deal. Massive unemployment, massive debt and spending, vastly reduced carbon consumption and air getting cleaner around the world - that's the GND in a nutshell

Game over man. Open it up. We keep the economy locked down for 2 more months there is no reason to have saved anyone because we are knifing each other in the streets for dog meat. After Governor Blackface announced his new plan yesterday the grocery stores were all raided by the locusts and there is nothing left until resupply that may never come because nothing is open anyway. This entire spectacle has jumped the shark. Two more months and we will enter something that makes the Great Depression looks like fun tims. Build the herd immunity while there is still a world worth living in to go back to. Let the weak die. It sucks, but that's life.

Was at the grocery store Sunday afternoon. My normal checker dude says "hey, you want some TP?"....like it was some kind of contraband, secret shit. He wanders over by the customer service desk and comes back with a 12 pack of ultra strong store brand. Now, normally I wouldn't be caught dead with store brand...Ride or Die with Charmin, bitches. But I felt like I'd won the goddamned Super Bowl and could return to the GNR Compound as a mighty hunter bagging an elk for survival meat. Didn't get a celebratory handie so I was kind of disappointed but I could feel the pride exuding off Mrs. Throbber v2.0. It was either pride exuding off her or that goddamned Chanel No. 5 she picks up when she goes to visit "friends", you know. You'd think social distancing would include laying off the side piece (I'm on to you, @Doog_de_Jour - just wash your hands a bunch, k?)RaceBannon said:

It was a very weird vibe in the store that day. People shuffling around, hardly saying a word. Like they know the end is near or this might be their last time in Albertsons. Just a completely surreal experience. Not quite sure how to explain it but it was almost like people were sizing one another up. The Throbber is not a small weak man so aside from a weapon, not too worried about out-wrestling 90% of the folks out there for a can of garbanzo beans but I don't really want to have to get to that point. Like Michael says, I'm a lover not a fighter. But don't confuse kindness with weakness - I'd choke a bitch out for some protein if I had to.
Over the next few weeks, we're going to get back to the new normal. Hopefully the new normal is being more cautious with our hygiene and health and not the new normal of Mad Max/Omega Man.
Either way it will be interesting.

Was at the grocery store Sunday afternoon. My normal checker dude says "hey, you want some TP?"....like it was some kind of contraband, secret shit. He wanders over by the customer service desk and comes back with a 12 pack of ultra strong store brand. Now, normally I wouldn't be caught dead with store brand...Ride or Die with Charmin, bitches. But I felt like I'd won the goddamned Super Bowl and could return to the GNR Compound as a mighty hunter bagging an elk for survival meat. Didn't get a celebratory handie so I was kind of disappointed but I could feel the pride exuding off Mrs. Throbber v2.0. It was either pride exuding off her or that goddamned Chanel No. 5 she picks up when she goes to visit "friends", you know. You'd think social distancing would include laying off the side piece (I'm on to you, @Doog_de_Jour - just wash your hands a bunch, k?)RaceBannon said:
There was a noticeable ominous tone last week at the grocery store compared to the week before. We haven't gone this week yet. The only positive is that the booze is well stocked. And weed dispensaries are deliveringSwaye said:

I've been earmarking April 6 as kind of the baseline data point to assess just WTF is happening. We already have historical data that 12,469 people died from H1N1 and we? didn't do jack shit. I had to have my daughter remind me that she got a really bad case of the flu that year - but we never seriously considered she had Swine Flu...suck it up and rub some dirt on it, sweetheart.
The Throbber Casino set the initial line at 5,000 dead. Sucked in a few with the under, sucked in a few with the over. (See how that works, @Hhusky? The house ALWAYS wins and then resets the line because MAFF and shit based on data not TDS hatred).
In a little over two weeks, it looks like the Trump Cocktail (not pool cleaner, you dicks, actual medicine) is probably the right path to save the most afflicted. So fire that shit up and get more produced -Murica! It's what we do. Just saw this morning that GM is stepping up ventilator production. Give them a couple weeks and they'll pump those fuckers out like candy. Not all that worried medium term in the US ability to innovate and produce. It's not like we're? a bunch of sniveling Frenchies sucking on clove cigarettes and bemoaning truffles v. cheese or some shit.
I guess what it comes down to is - are you on Team America Kicks Ass and we figure it out simultaneously as individuals (wash your fucking hands) and capitalists (see above ventilators, masks being sewn by god knows how many seamstresses around the country) or you are on Team Woe is Me/Bad Orange Man/Do Something? Choose wisely because you'll probably die sucking your thumb sitting in a corner. You probably would have anyway because but but Trump.
I happen to think Team America Kicks Ass is in full on kick ass mode about 3 weeks from now.
Also, there will a lot more black market/underground activity going on. That is inevitable.
And we are in the sticks as far as California is concerned. Spread out. As you can see from the daily tote board Riverside County is doing well other than shooting ourselves in the foot and causing panic buying
It was a very weird vibe in the store that day. People shuffling around, hardly saying a word. Like they know the end is near or this might be their last time in Albertsons. Just a completely surreal experience. Not quite sure how to explain it but it was almost like people were sizing one another up. The Throbber is not a small weak man so aside from a weapon, not too worried about out-wrestling 90% of the folks out there for a can of garbanzo beans but I don't really want to have to get to that point. Like Michael says, I'm a lover not a fighter. But don't confuse kindness with weakness - I'd choke a bitch out for some protein if I had to.
Over the next few weeks, we're going to get back to the new normal. Hopefully the new normal is being more cautious with our hygiene and health and not the new normal of Mad Max/Omega Man.
Either way it will be interesting. -

The deer and elk around here probably think they're pretty safe.
And they are.
For now.
They'd better hope the butcher keeps his stock up. -

Governor black face isn't ruling that state; his wife is.MikeDamone said:https://wamu.org/story/20/03/30/northam-to-order-virginia-residents-to-stay-at-home/
Common sense is in desperately low supply.
At some point, whether or not we've precipitated a cascade of societal collapse from which we cannot hope to recover for decades, we will be forced to leave our homes and live our lives.
At that point, a virus that is as contagious as a head cold and has been suppressed only by unnatural and unsustainable suppression of human activity will necessarily surge among the active, working-age and school-age part of the population.
Most of these cases will be mild; recoverable without medical intervention. If China Virus is as contagious as the common cold, its eventual spread through the general population is inevitable.
We must then take extraordinary measures to protect those who have existing conditions which compromise lung and/or immune-system function.
We must eventually accept that a virus passed as easily as a head cold calls for focuses protection for those susceptible to serious cases rather than attempts to prevent the more mild cases.
A sane course of action will eventually be forced on us by practical reality.
How much are we willing to destroy before we arrive at this inevitable point? -

Still no Tp in the OC. I hear if I line up at Costco a couple hours early I can get in and get 1 pack before it's gone.
I fucking installed bidets in the house instead.
