i like how this behaviour implies that birds like people watching as much as people like bird watching

it is a good and happy thought

I honestly think they do. Actually many animals do, simply out of curiosity, they are just as aware of their surroundings as we are and due to the lack of learning theoretical understanding they probably wonder even more why we do things compared to us wondering about them!

I love birds tbh

I don't know what they could possibly tell me except 'yup fatigue sore throat chest pains that sounds about right please go to the hospital if you start coughing up blood or have a fever'. This isn't to say that I think people shouldn't seek help but for real I'm not sure what they could possibly advise me on that I'm not already doing!

thank god this is happening during the spring and not winter. I don't think I could handle all of this if not only could I not see anybody or go anywhere with a lot of people, but also couldn't go outside (comfortably, anyway). The main thing keeping me sane is that I'm able to take a long walk with my hunny bun every day. I'm much like a dog really :dogcited:. Think I might double up and start going at night too, alone and just listen to music. I can only play so much animal crossing a day so it's good to break it up with some non-simulated outdoor adventures.

Yeah i absolutely cannot imagine going through this in the dead of winter. Much sympathy for the people of Hubei who had to do exactly that.

I heard Germany is telling citizens to stock up on sausage and cheese and calling it a "würst käse scenario". Can you confirm?

Yes.
We do that every season though, this time it's just a bit more Käse than Wurst as we are stocking up on the Szenario front

I remember when I visited my friend who was living in Frankfurt at the time there was a restaurant called Best Wurst. Probably the most amusing thing about Frankfurt.:evilbuddy:

The most amusing thing about Frankfurt actually is the parking situation

I just remember that and buying groceries from a store where the guy at the checkout looked like a model and seemed to be exhibiting maybe a step above contempt towards me.

It's Hessen. That's sorta like the German version of a fly over state but because we don't have to fly as much it's more of a drive-thru tbh

Yeah. I get that it's basically a big banking/business city. Zurich was kind of similar. Except the trains ran on time and it costs like 2 bux to drop a d

So today the first hospital in Germany had to close its doors for new patients due to being overloaded, it's in Wolfsburg (that's where VWs are born) and it sounds scary, but both experts as well as politicians have expected and planned for this to happen as we are now slowly entering the full force of the wave of patients that have to be taken care of. All those that infected one to two weeks ago and whose status have turned critical over that time, just when the lockdowns hit.

The fact that most people here are quite chill over this, concerned and observing skeptically, but chill, makes me also chill. The situation is serious but no one responsible for stuff is taking it lightly and everyone listens when an expert speaks.
This is not too bad. We can do this.

We lied. We are not at war. There is no enemy. This is a rescue operation.
i was listening to the news this morning and they said something about building a "pop-up" hospital in NYC and all I could picture was a ceaseless line of male nurses with man buns giving you "locally sourced" respirators.

Our local indie radio station has been doing little PSAs with memorable segments of songs that are 20 seconds. My fav has been
This is Major Tom to ground control
I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating in the most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today

Smashmouth is a pretty good one lol

We now have hotels for housing/isolating any of the homeless population who have tested positive for the virus. It's a damned shame it's not permanent housing but at least they will be inside and getting treatment.
