{COVID-19} Coronavirus Pandemic: Toilet Paper Rationing

[Khajit]

The lockdown isn't so bad, being stuck in the same house as the people who are starting to vent out their stress on me because they can't handle it on the other hand is getting to me. About to leave the house and risk infection just to shut people up. I cannot stress enough how I wish I had some noise cancelling headphones and the space to barricade my door.


I'm hearing reports that the police have taken to drone patrols at nighttime to find anyone sneaking outside.

Day laborers are still hovering around the Home Depot since construction/contractors are still on the job. That area is p. much fucked.

It's really sad to watch all this go down. We used to come together when shit like this hit the fan. It was the only time the nation would focus on the problem instead of each other. Looks like we are so divided now that even a pandemic can't bring us together.

We also are doing the same with people driving in from Louisiana.

A whole generation of people became super selfish in their old age and that has largely extended to their kids and their kids kids to a certain extent. This all stems from a super selfish attitude. "As long as my family is safe I don't care about others." "As long as my family has enough money the rest of the country should work harder and pull itself up by the bootstraps" etc.

A woman yelled at a coworker when she found out that the workers were allowed to shop for items before the store opened and how unfair that was because someone took the last Oat Milk she wanted, it was chilling in the cooler staging area and she saw that. I guess she thinks that we're only deserving of the scraps that are left over at the end of the night. A perk of working at a grocery store is first pickin's. Sorry bout it

The almond milk at my local grocer is always well stocked, even during this pandemic.

My wife can go to the large grocery store on Tuesday and Thursday from 7-8 in the morning to shop with other first responders. She said she is not going anywhere in her scrubs right now. A coworker was harassed at a store while in scrubs being told she's spreading the virus and others were talking about FB posts from other healthcare workers with similar stories.

edit: About that milk, coolers be empty but the boxed almond milk in the aisle stays packed.

You want sobering news? Even trump is saying we are looking at 100k casualties in the states as a best case scenario.

The virus response coordinator, Dr. Birx, says it's more like 200k if we handle it perfectly, which isnt happening.

Last time I went, all the nut milks were stocked and all the plant-based meat substitutes were stocked. Nobody wanted beyond beef, despite there being no real beef.

That explains the woman talking about how people in face masks have the virus at the hardware store.


Out of the 20ish people I came into contact with on my little excursion, 3 of them coughed within 4-5 feet of me, there are a whole bunch of construction workers who don't understand how to measure six goddamn feet, and barely any instances of half assed social distancing. It seems to have given me a mild headache from sheer bafflement at how fucking stupid everyone is right now.The cases have held steady at 22 for the last day or so, but I can't see them doing anything but exploding after seeing the way my fellow countrymen are behaving.

I definitely recommend nut milk subs right now if you are using them like we are for coffee drinks. Oat milk tastes almost the same to me and the shelf life is wayyyyy longer.

Sounds like VA is getting the official stay your ass at home order.

I guessed this was coming..Six Flags over GA closed though April.

At least they are extending season passes for the amount of time they had to close. So if it's the rest of the year..Well, free season pass for me next year. Not that I'd want to go THERE right now. OR any of the state parks. If people are packing in there like sardines, I don't wanna go there.
