Welcome to an isolated life at home, it is surprisingly hard not to go crazy. I recommend taking a lot of drugs and letting time "slip" between deadlines.

Under self quarantine with all the symptoms of coronavirus.

I'm doing a lot of laying down. Sometimes in my bed, sometimes on my couch. Also doing a lot of temperature taking, checking my blood oxygen levels, and taking pills.

I'm full time in med tech school right now while only working one half shift a week at a hospital so it was pretty easy for me to just dip when poo poo got too goofy, which was last Wednesday. It was wild going from the first patient just the Monday before with people joking about it still and having a good time, to basically sheer panic on Wednesday as someone close was presumed infected. School was still open on Thursday where they crammed 25 of us into tiny half-sized class rooms for hours to take exams. I wore a paper mask out of desperation. The atmosphere was very tense. Unbelievably they send us back to our clinical hospital the next day, but basically cancel them halfway through the day and send everyone home.

so its been unbelievably excellent being able to just smoke a ton of weed. currently just catching up on a ton of movies, while also checking out some old poo poo. ikarie xb-1, forbin project, outbreak, lego movie, who is America. actually playing music again. I hope we get some sick plague times mix tapes out of this bullshit.

I'm a stay at home mom to a 18 month old so I've basically been socially distanced for the last year and half anyway so this isn't a big disruption to my routine. My husband's company can go to one-hundred percent WFH without trouble, and since he's home and can entertain our son I can get a lot more housework done. My goal this week is to get caught up on laundry and then give the bathroom a good cleaning. Mr Ralph just got a book about how to make our home more energy efficient so that will be his project for the next month or so.

until my pet food gets in: panicking a bit

after that: I have pastures to fence, books to write, and work from home anyhow. So long as I have access to electric, animal supplies, and me supplies, it won't be any different than usual. I can always push the horse's training a bit faster if we run out of gas, hitch him up to the wagon and trot him up to the grocery store and feed store.

Holy gently caress, boss literally texted me and just nonchalantly said our government agency is closed as of tomorrow.

Real post:

I start a new job tomorrow managing a restaurant in a state that has not yet placed any restrictions on us

I'm taking care of my grandmother who is 79 years old and diabetic

We can't afford for me to not work. She has no bank account and lives on a small social security check

I may be in a position where I really have no choice but to put my grandmother in harm's way

So I'm going to pray and smoke a lot of weed while existentially breaking down

I'm a high school teacher and all the schools in my country (Norway) have been closed at least until Easter. We are trying to keep up education via digital platforms, but since the server capacity of those platforms was in no way intended to handled as much traffic as we're seeing now things are a bit precarious on whether or not students are actually able to reliably access the courses digitally during school hours (which is what we're hoping to maintain). It also doesn't help that I'm teaching in one of the more economically challenged areas in the country, especially when it comes to child poverty, and many students may not have reliable internet access at home (though they are all issued with computers by the school).

What free stuff is going on? I found the kaossilator and moog mini d apps are free if you’re a musician, there’s a lot of free iOS games like the Alto games, and if you’re in Italy or on a cruise ship you get free porn.

I have no income now and I’m bored

This is a hell of a time to be a hypochondriac. I felt kind of lightheaded as I was heading home from work and immediately concluded it was shortness of breath and I had the corona and was gonna die.

All the previous days, I have quite happy to be an anti-social shut-in.

But as soon as they say 'stay indoors', I have a non-stop urge to go outside.

It's making me antsy all the time.

Washing my hands constantly. There are already 12 ventilated patients on the unit below me. Luckily my unit is for intermediate care, we have pulmonary hypertension patients and pre and post lung transplants. For either group covid 19 would likely be a death sentence. So we may be one of the later units to get positive patients. Not all nurses are as lucky. We have to reuse N 95 respirators due to shortage. It's all quite amusing that these massive hospitals couldn't stockpile more, also the government appears to have a stockpile, but maybe not enough or certainly not sending enough to the hospitals.

Isn't The Big One basically going to be a flu strain that happens when someone gets infected with two influenza strains - one that's easily transmissible between humans but not too deadly, and the other one of those 60% kill rate avian flus that mercifully can't transmit person-to-person - and the strains have flu sex and their baby is an easily transmissible strain with a super-high kill rate? Yeah, really looking forward to that.

This. Going to work for a company where the employees are disregarded and marginalized as the norm, where we are getting no extra help from our company, and we are a vital link shipping out 10 million+ pounds of food a week that ends up in grocery stores and other food processors. We handle, in and out, well over 20 million pounds of food a week. Mostly protein.

We did not have enough people before this all went down. It takes months to even get a basic worker up to speed.

Wisconsin is shutting down tomorrow. I don't do anything ever and stay in my house all day every day besides getting food or cigarettes. So this won't be a big change. However, now that I have to stay in place I now have the urge to get out.

I'm going to make tuna salad tonight so I can use up my bread before it goes bad. I always want to get half loaves of bread but they cost just as much as a full loaf so I end up wasting it. I never buy celery so my friend is going to leave one stalk on his porch for me.

A banneton is a type of basket used to provide structure for shaped loaves of bread during proofing. Banneton baskets are also known as brotform or proofing baskets. It is normally used for doughs that are too soft or wet to maintain their shape while rising.
