Dear diary, today I
became a captain.
My dad went to the store today and now he's almost having a nervous breakdown. i told him to order everything online, and just stay in his garden and chill.
France just locked down and I can see the same happening here in Belgium soon. Got real mad seeing these loving British tourists being massive gaping assholes in Spain.
Nothing new, I know, but still, I don't get what the hell is going on in the UK. They didn't do poo poo last week to try to stop it last week.

Cyber-Attack Hits U.S. Health Agency Amid Covid-19 Outbreak

The U.S. Health and Human Services Department suffered a cyber-attack on its computer system, part of what people familiar with the incident called a campaign of disruption and disinformation that was aimed at undermining the response to the coronavirus pandemic and may have been the work of a foreign actor.

1 in 10 diagnosed. It's important to not panic too much. Lots of people are showing no symptoms or mild symptoms and aren't getting diagnosed.

Most Europeans countries are only officially diagnosing the most severe cases. Some countries assume the actual infected rate is ~6-10x the official rate which would bring it back down to 2%.
Like here in the Netherlands there is no way you are going to get a official diagnosis unless you are in a bad way. Everyone else is just being told to stay home and wait it out.

In many states, if you loudly and clearly ask them to leave first and they don't, yes.

I have as the designated computer toucher for today so had to go in. Seemed like a few too many people were in, but they're still figuring out how to get the call center people able to work from home. My boss came in and we tried a new hot chicken place for lunch that was completely dead because only carry-out is allowed - but hey, the order was ready in ten minutes!

Now I get to spend the rest of the week not wearing gloves. That's not even a Roni precaution, so many of the PCs aare just utterly filthy. Or worse, greasy?

They announced province wide school shutdowns at 5pm on Sunday. Daycares are also shut down. All my friends with kids are scrambling, most don't have a work from home option and don't want to park their disease vectors with grandparents

Don't worry, soon all the unemployed hospitality workers will be opening unlicensed daycares in their living rooms.

Just how worthless are masks? I keep hearing they don't do anything, but I mean, if you aren't tying up the supply for hospitals it certainly couldn't hurt to wear one right?

My friend went to China years ago and brought me back some of these nice thick washable fabric SARs masks as kind of a gag gift and I was thinking it wouldn't hurt to wear them for the 30 minutes a day at work when I'm stuck in a room with a bunch of people.

I dunno maybe it would be pointless and I'd just look like a douche

They're useful if worn properly with properly worn eye protection and if the filter is replaced regularly.

It's fun remembering that "mild" in the official tallies means "not severe enough to require hospital care". So up to and including walking pneumonia and "I barely have enough energy to feed myself" are mild cases
