Australia is pretty bonkers too so I've heard, or at least they were last week.

Will you write my eulogy on FF?

Of course. I feel very honoured. I trust that you'll be ok though, don't worry :)
I hope it kills Trump, then it would be good for something at least

The impact and spread of this virus is at the forefront of the coronavirus discussion for good reason since people need to recognize how dangerous it is and do everything we can to mitigate it. That said, my biggest concern is the way that this will be exploited as the situation gets more extreme. As lockdowns and government mandated cancellations become more and more normalized, people may begin to heed an authoritarian enforcement of those new standards. Totalitarianism has traditionally flourished in situations of fear, helplessness, and economic downturns such as these. That flourish could potentially happen once family members begin dying and supplies dry up in a big way, or if riots come about that make people/leaders feel unsafe, if one military power decides to strike another during times of desperation, or once some other additional layer of fear is added on top of the legitimate threat of this disease. There's a million ways that it could go down, like areas of de facto segregation facing stricter lockdown policies, Trump not giving up office in 2021, wars and military action over debt, global conflict. Or we might just come out of this with a widespread consciousness of hygiene and cleanliness in public places, who knows.

Food for thought, obviously from an American perspective. Keep washing your hands, leave the old people alone for their sake, and watch some movies while we wait, see, and hope for the best. Then once whatever happens happens, it'll seem obvious.

Appalling.

Happens probably 90% of the time in men's toilets BTW.

People thinking that if they've only touched their bellends then there's no need to wash their hands.

Dirty bastards.

The stupidity is mind blowing

Like how could they not realize that the main thing you need to be afraid of is the ****ing door handles that every single other person touches on their way in

grindy 03-14-2020 02:03 PM

I don't touch anything in public toilets with my hands.

grindy 03-14-2020 02:36 PM

I meant door handles and such.

DwnWthVwls 03-14-2020 02:38 PM

I touch everything, wash my hands, open door with papertowel, and then go back to my desk and touch my dirty ass keyboard.

grindy 03-14-2020 02:40 PM

I touch nothing, wash my hands, open door with papertowel, and then go back to my desk and touch my dirty ass.

OccultHawk 03-14-2020 03:18 PM

I might have started this pandemic when I had to stick my finger up my ass to get that turd out.

I wash my hands, use a paper towel on the door and immediately use hand sanitizer when I get back to my desk. We are all provided with Clorox wipes so I clean my cubicle every Friday.

Even if he did would they admit it?

OccultHawk 03-14-2020 07:04 PM

I doubt his doctor would lie but who the f knows?

Frownland 03-14-2020 07:10 PM

That's the same doctor who said that Trump is in good health.

P.s. if you have a cough, pay your local congressperson a visit.

He wouldn't have died of it anyway. Too rich, too well taken care of.

People mostly die due to their circulatory systems breaking down due to the strain of the respiratory issues. There are probably life support measures that can be taken to let one live through that.

Grim.

My mom is a nurse and works in a care home. The virus is there and the other staff have panicked, refused to work and left. She will have to keep working for the next few days even though she wasn't meant to be in aside from today.

I'm annoyed and worried, hopefully my dad will be safe. He has COPD and is in his sixties so I worry about him.
