Only problem here is someone bought all the toilet paper at the local store and this weekend tons of campers showed up, bought up everything else and then filled up the National Forest campground. We have 161 cases in the State at the moment, 5 dead. The entire State goes on Shelter At Home status at 12 tonight. I hope that means those campers go home....They could be carriers.
Other than that, I'm happy being here and don't mind being left alone. We're actually making better contact with other people by phone than we did when we saw them personally. Our friends in the Medical establishment are braced, ready and concerned.
Wash you hands after reading this.

I'm trying to spread a conspiracy theory that this is all a secret war between kids and boomers. COVID-19 was developed by Greta Thunberg and Fridays for Future in order to kill the old people who've fucked up the planet for them. But the oldies hit back by closing their schools, thereby denying them an education so that noone will believe anything they say. I'm not sure how the kids are going to retaliate, but my sources are telling me it's going to be big.
Apart from that I'm trying to have the name of the virus changed to "Pangolin's Revenge", because those two legged fuckers must be lauging their scaly balls of right now.
I thought it was bat soup. Anyways with the spring breakers I am guessing cases in Florida are about to skyrocket.

Madrid is kinda fucked, but they're trying, and at least are turning the hockey rink into a morgue/body storage place and turning conference centers into medium level ICUs. By comparison, I'm watching the clusterfuckery that is the US Govt's response and I'm not at all surprised they managed to infect as many people in a month as the Chinese did in six. They just refuse to accept that the virus doesn't give two shits that America is "special in God's Heart" and so they won't do the necessary.
Granted, the death rate (so far) is lower, but that's just because they had more ventilators to start with and are willing to try and let people hang on longer. It's gonna spike like a motherfucker when they run out, and it becomes a choice of keep the no-hope on a ventilator longer or give it to someone with better chances (or better insurance, because hey hey, USA! Money is the way, all day every day!). It all makes one both cynical as fuck, and in a little bit of awe of socialized medicine. Sure, the rich always get better care, but at least the poor get decent care. In the US, the poor are seven kinds of fucked. The have to work when sick or lose insurance, lose the insurance and that's a goddamn death sentence OR if you do recover, you're in debt bondage like some sorta indentured servant for the rest of your life.
