Hopper posted:Just spent a nice long weekend in London. Oh yeah, last night we went to Dalston (a hip East London neighborhood) and it was like a ghost town (my friend lived here for 14 years also noticed that). Even on Sundays it was usually bustling with activity (lots of local restaurants and nigh-life spots) and yesterday it was almost empty. I went to Shoreditch on Saturday but it was, as usual, packed with million people and I was in a club pretty crowded club so idk.

I can use the carcass of a single whole chicken to prep delicious chicken and veg stock, shred the leftovers and cook it with Uncle Ben's (Mexican, usually). It's pretty delish and easy to make while working from home. My real concern (besides the virus) is, I work as a consultant and if my clients start to  about the whole thing and cancel on-site work days it'll really create some money related problems but I think they'd be okay with home-office unless things are literally on fire.

Old Boot posted:Crossposting this here I talked to this researcher once whose team had developed a very efficient treatment for a slew of common pet allergies. Basically a cure. Nice, right? But they're utterly unable to get funding, because the current allergy medicine industry is ridiculously profitable. There's no incentive for pharma to cure people.

The good news for you guys is that you're getting measures already, my area might be 2 or 3 days behind you but I doubt it's more than that and everything here is business as usual still. How's the toilet paper doing?

You might not be reading those things, but if you scroll through another 40 or so, you'll eventually memorize how to wash your hands properly.

I took my wife to the movies yesterday, a few minutes before it started I got an e-mail stating the coronavirus has finally hit Connecticut and literally at the same time three women in masks came in and sat down right near us in an otherwise empty theater. My wife had an uncharacteristic sneezing fit later that night. RIP us I guess!

My wife got a text yesterday night from an old friend who she hadn't heard from in a long time to tell her to sell her stock asp. He works at a very high level banking company, but had never talked about finance before. Unfortunately, her pension saving package is blocked until the middle of the month, I don't know how bad it's gonna be. Her college also had lunch with somebody who tested positive, so maybe working from home from now on. I went to work today, even though I have the option to work from home. College came in, gave the typical french 'bisous' to a couple friends. Then she turned out to be super sick, crashed on the couch next to my desk with a roll of toilet paper to blow her nose in every 10 minutes. Anyway:

Jesus christ I went into work this morning and we now have 29 THOUSAND tickets in our support queue. When I left on Friday we had 17k. That's an influx of 10 thousand tickets on basically 2 days. Fuckin wild. Normally that queue is around 1k. And a reminder that the context of this is at a support site for Airbnb. We're doing our best though!

I goto the movies 3-4 times a month depending on what's out, which is doable since NYC has a bunch of limited releases. I thought about going to bloodshot since it's the only thing out this month but the idea of catching a virus cuz of a bad vin disel movie being in my obituary is more possible shame then I can bear

AKA Pseudonym posted:It's kind of weird that we've all decided that toilet paper is the thing we're going to panic buy. I'm sure it demonstrates one economic principle or another. It started in Hong Kong. If you think about HK and how they get most of their general goods from mainland China and are a very densely populated city, bulky stuff like TP is probably what they'd have the least stock/person of. So if everyone in Hong Kong is worried about maybe having to be quarantined and goes out to buy basic supplies, TP runs out first. After some stores run out people start panic buying all the TP. Then as coronavirus hits more countries everyone has seen news stories about Hong Kong having armed toilet paper robberies, so they do the same.

Please stop the stupid song posts. I have a friend who works in nursing who is absolutely determined to say it isn't as bad as the flu and overblown. Currently on holiday in a place with no cases with them because they'd bought their tickets and refused to cancel, so I'd be a dick if I backed out. Looking forward to catching the roni passing through airports and dying when I get back.

Have you heard that people have started panic buying delicious ice cold Coca-Cola (tm)? I am heading to my local store right now to buy several packs of delicious ice cold Coca-Cola (tm) right now, before there's a shortage of delicious ice cold Coca-Cola (tm)
