Louisgod posted:Honestly, if anybody still has the ability to hit up a grocery store now to stock up on food, now's the time. Easy to give people poo poo for "panic shopping" when most people only meal prep a week out, so having kids at home means you have to plan for them as well. Best to stock up on everything so you don't have to leave the house for 3 or 4 weeks. Also a normal week's supply of food (and TP) are not going to last a week with everyone home full time. No eating out, no school lunches, and no poopin on company time means your supplies may not go as far as you normally expect.

CRUSTY MINGE posted:Thermometers. Go to your local auto parts store and ask for the cheapest non-contact infrared thermometer. Probably a bunch on auto zone shelves because people don't realize it's a goddamn thermometer. Or rockauto, amazon, you know, anywhere else that sells thermometers for measuring exhaust pipe temps. Be sure to add 1F to the forehead temperature, it's not the same as you would read inside your mouth.

I've had a swab taken before, about a decade ago. They must have told me what they were going to do, but I don't think you can understand what is about to happen just from words. I was so sick, I barely wanted to move. I still just about strangled the nurse when she did it.

I got my Trump bucks, but I don't really need them. I could use them to subsidize the grocery delivery fees I'm now paying, but it feels kind of like dirty money I don't want. Where could it be most useful? Not sending it to any one person, especially anyone who posts here.

I went out for the first time in a few weeks. I knew what's going on out there, but to see it feels surreal. The crowded parking lots at Costco, BJs, and Trader Joes, along with the spaced out lines. The empty parking lots everywhere else, except for Lowe's. A middle eastern grocery store had a couple cars out front, and a big sign that said "WE ARE OPEN". A farmer's market that we like is doing a prix-fixe drive through deal. They're set up in their parking lot. You drive up, they hold a card reader out to you on a stick, you pop your trunk, they load it in, and you drive off. Everyone is wearing masks. It's nice, but at the same time strange.

I realized that I should be washing my hands/groceries more often anyway. If I pick up a poo-covered apple with my filthy hands and shove it directly into my dirty mouth, that seems like a bad idea regardless of the circumstances.

golden bubble posted:China only had half the world production for N95s before the crisis. There are some US manufacturing capacity for it, but not that much. When I checked the packages of N95s I had a while ago, they were from either Mexico or Ireland. I don't know where the material was made though. I had a meeting with my boss today, and he was saying how we spend $$$ for our office in Manhattan, and we could send everybody to Cancun every month to workshop or whatever and still come out ahead. I was already WFH, but we may go 100% remote after this. Commercial real estate may tank, but Hotel and Resorts may see an uptick?

It also deforms the mask keeping it from sealing on your face correctly. I'm assuming you ever had a good seal in the first place.

Azathoth Prime posted:I'm using Facebook to stay in touch with my friends and family that are scattered all over the country (and world, in some cases). I live alone, and isolation is definitely a problem. Boomerbook helps me feel connected to my loved ones. And because my friends are (mostly) awesome people, it also helps me see that there is still some sanity in the world outside of the SA bubble. I deleted my account when I saw a notification about a stranger commenting on a different stranger's photo. A distant friend had also commented on the photo a couple days earlier. I haven't regretted it. I'm seeing more of some of my friends now than I did before. I've been organizing a video call every Saturday afternoon. I put the link up, whoever can join, joins. If somebody has a conflict, I'll move it, or just do both times, but they have to tell me what time. If they can only join for a couple minutes, that's cool too. I think keeping it 0-pressure is key for my sanity.

I've been thinking about how many people don't wash their hands after using the bathroom. Or don't use the rings/tissue when doing self serve bakery. Or cough and sneeze without covering their mouth. Or the guy who called me a Hillary loving libtard for following a yield sign. Now we need all those people to wear a mask. gently caress.

Target had curbside pickup already. If you get a boyscout, they scan the barcode from your phone through your rolled up window. Mostly they just put it in your trunk without even looking at you.

The number of deaths doesn't seem to be growing. Not growing yet might be implied there, but hopefully NY and NJ learned some lessons in treatment that others will have learned from. Until we fill up the hospitals at least.

Yes, I'm aware of sunscreen. I'm just saying people drinking and laying out in full sun in a swimsuit all aren't usually putting it on. They also don't care about the pandemic, and apparently they think their rivers are a circle too.
