This is the Official Scorecard of the WuFlu, Coronavirus, COVID-19 or other shit.
Since the next best thing since sliced bread or Chiefs Super Bowl Victories is making its way across the globe. This is a more personal thread to monitor who, when, where, how and other related shit. If you are prepping, what’s your plan of attack? Toilet Paper-face masks or Face masks-Toilet Paper? If you are just scrubbing your hands and singing an endless loop of Happy Birthday, what soap are you using? Grab your collective asses and hold on. Bleach your keyboards and offer up the best ya got. [Reply]
I don't know about anything, but I'm fucking bored and drinking this weekend. Is there an online party I can go to? I'll turn my webcam on and get extremely overserved. [Reply]

If you wait for the "major spike", then its too late. The whole theory is based on eliminating the major spike by sheltering in place early before anybody shows symptoms. [Reply]

sounds good. We should get something going this weekend. Some kind of late night coronavirus shut in virtual party. [Reply]
If I was guaranteed availability of groceries, I'd be able to live like this for quite a while. Working in an empty office, grabbing takeout and coming home is fine with me. If I knew it'd be long germ, I'd go ahead and buy a big barbell and dumbell setup and I'd have the gym thing taken care of. [Reply]

If I have general services and food. I am good. [Reply]

The gym thing sucks. It's my stress reliever and basically my only hobby as the rest of my life is work or fatherhood. Working out at home blows and my intensity isn't the same, not to mention lack of equipment anyway. Not complaining but it's wrecking my mental health a bit. [Reply]

Don't know what will happen next quarter. It depends on the spread, I guess. He has just the one quarter to go to graduate so the timing of this really sucks.
Talked to him last Wednesday and he said UW had announced that it was going to go to all on-line for the entire quarter. He also said he got an email from Housing and they were encouraging students to move out of the dorms. He was supposed to fly home Thursday for spring break and we planned to discuss if he wanted to move back home to finish the quarter remotely. I thought if he did, he could fly back as scheduled on Mar 29, do the first week of classes and then we would come over to move him back the following weekend.
Thursday morning, though, I started hearing rumblings that Seattle may go to a shelter in place and there could even be travel restrictions. It made me nervous about waiting two weeks. He agreed, so my wife and I jumped in the truck and headed over. It's six hours one way so it made for a very long day to go over, load his stuff and head back in one day.
The crazy thing was the traffic. The section of I-5 that we have to drive that goes through downtown Seattle is usually crazy and it isn't unusual for it to take almost a half hour to go roughly seven miles. We got into town at 5:15 pm and sailed up I-5 at 60+. The University District was still busy but overall, it was pretty easy driving.
I'm glad to have him out of Seattle and avoiding two flights was a bonus. I suspect next quarter will be a bit of a struggle to stay focused since he's out of the university environment but he'll manage. Also, that was our 20th college move (two kids, five years each, one trip to and one trip back) and I'm glad they are done. [Reply]
