If you've read any of my posts you know one of my sons had the virus in New Rochelle (Ground fucking zero)
He then gave it to me. It lasted a week today I'm feeling myself.
My wife and youngest son have been quarantined in my house with us so it'll be a miracle if they don't get it.
My wife is a realtor. Their ordered to shut down tonight at midnight.
I (Red lobster manager) have been put on leave of absence & have filed for unemployment.
We(NY) were already in a partial shutdown but at midnight tonight it kicks up to the next level.
Barbers,Game stops,Gyms etc.. anything retail must close their doors.
I'm 54 & I haven't been unemployed since I was 15.
My wife is high energy..work keeps her sane.
We forgot to get to the liquor store tonight so that was just salt in our gashing wound.
They close for good tonight.
I popped in here just now for a distraction & a possible laugh.
Poop jokes are good.
Maybe I'll swing over to the girl on girl thread that usually helps.
Its always interesting to hear different takes from around the country.
Especially those that are still as my son says..a week or 2 behind us(NY).
Thanks to those who have sent me well wishes after reading some of my posts.
I'd like to say its no big deal but well.. the hysteria alone makes it a big deal.
My suggestion to everyone is you personally don't have to believe the hype but that sure as Fuck doesn't mean you shouldn't be getting ready to eventually be where I'm sitting.
There is no place to go & nothing to do.
I'm guessing next week we won't be able to leave our property except for the 30 minute grocery store runs.
Don't mean to be a Debbie Downer but it kind of sucks here.
It will get weirder before things start improving.
I am thinking mid July.
The last 2 quarters will be much improved.
Right now I will give it a weak 7.
2 weeks from now will be a weak 5
Will dip to a 3 and build from there
Hang on boys we will survive this.
This too shall pass [Reply]
I'm okay; I'm frustrated at the hysteria and hoarding. The lack of accurate information isn't helpful. Don't trust the media at all. Now the Stay at Home order; I'm almost 62 and most of my social life is with people at work. Still have a job, have food, internet, TV, etc. Just don't like being told by our government what have to do. Don't trust them, doesn't matter who it is. [Reply]
My job isn’t in jeopardy, but work has been much more stressful. Having to be calm for everyone else when I don’t feel that way. Going to the grocery store to stare at empty shelves is depressing. Retirement situation has gone to shit. Worried about my dad. My wife and I have less patience for each other. About a 6. [Reply]

I'm out!
Off to Girls on Girls..
Yeah this got real in a hurry, best wishes for you and yours [Reply]
Day-to-day hasn't changed much yet... combination of a job that won't go away, Arizona not being a hot spot yet, and having traveled a decent amount in the first ~8-10 weeks of the year already and wanting to slow down on spending and travel.
The uncertainty (not just here) sucks though. [Reply]

Safe to say I never will hear back from them.
My wife, who is or primary wage earner, had been unemployed since Thanksgiving. She started a new job like four days before the shit hit the fan. I keep telling her how fucking lucky we are because shits going to be messed up for a while.
Hope you have something and were just looking for something else. [Reply]
