This is certainly an interesting time right now. I know many of us around the world are social distancing, self-quarantining, or whatever phrase you are using for it.
So let's take a moment and check-in here and let the community know how you're doing during all this.
My wife and me chose a bad time to move from France to Germany. Right now, we are living in a one-room apartment in Germany until we can get the removal company to transport our furniture across the border. But we are still in good health and the hotel keeps refilling the toilet paper. I only have my MacBook with me, so no GalCiv III for me right now...
Stay safe and healthy, everyone.
Tom, once this stuff passes and the governor says we can get out and about safely (i'm thinking in the fall), i may stop by for a brief visit if that's ok with you. i still want to help a certain person if you're still taking donations. you still live along the river, correct?
Fall?!!!! I hope to hell this crap doesn't go on all summer. It is my understanding that this virus will not survive heat, you know, like summer heat. I saw a video from the CDC stating as much.
Most likely we are at risk at any time of the year before an effective vaccine is developed.

Burger King in Kristiansand is open for take out only....prolly Mac'ern as well. Kristiansand hasn't closed bars as far as I know (yet) but reduced skjenketid (pouring hours) .
Me? I'm staying home after Color Line layed me off (no one seems to be in the mood for a mini cruise to Germany?) Anyway travel is restricted so not much to do there. The whole family stays at home and gets on each others nerves. When it gets to bad we can safely take a walk in the woods nearby without meeting too many people so it's easy to keep a good distance.
Tim, you should have plenty of time to skin, then, eh?
Yep, I still live in the same place, and yes, the person needing donations is needed them more than ever right now. You stay safe! Sent you a PM.
All is well here in SW Ohio. We stay in as much as we can. I am in an essential industry so i am working. Minimal contact with others. Everything we know as normal is turned upside down.
Now you know what it's like to be an Australian...
My wife is a nurse. Tonight she went in to find she has 6 COVID 19 patients. Oh shit!
26th of March. So far so quiet. I am thinking of joining the volunteers. One of the tasks is just phoning people who are in quarantine and making sure they're okay.
All is copacetic. Very stringent measures being taken here. So, staying at home except for food shopping and the like, and trying to keep occupied.
Trying to find stuff you folks want to hear about, so pm me with special requests you might have.
Im just staying on quarantine
In the United States of America over 58,000 confirmed cases. 745 of them died. In the state of Arizona there are 24 confirmed cases 2 died. Dan Ackroid is dying.
The world health organization has said that none under the age of 10 has caught it. People from the age of 10-30 have a 1 in 5000 chance of dying if you get it. The third age category which is what I am have a 1 in 2500 chance of dying if I get it. Over the age of 80 you have a 1 in 6 chance of dying if you get it. 85% of the people who get infected are over the age of 60. They say that this disease spreads by age not public places. Everyone's Is panicking here we are the worst state on buying toilet paper. Restaurants are either doing takeout or drive through. Grocery stores and hospitals are open with limited hours. Everything else is closed. There mobilizing the national guard to help unload trucks.
Just to let you know the bird flu in the early 1900s killed 25000000 in sixth months in a world 1/8 the population it has now. I hear it is going to last until August. They might have found a cure or a vaccine. I'm doing fine.
Now is the time to buy stock everyone is selling. That way you can make a lot of money when this is over. Please send me money and toilet paper please.
Hey everyone.
Michigan is shut down and things are slow in the house.
My wife was furloughed because she works for a non-profit that also runs gyms (YMCA). Gyms are all closed . .. so she's not working.I am working from home doing IT. With everyone else working from home at the company, I'm staying busy.
The down-side is the company I work for supports car dealerships .. . . . and many of them are closed or struggling. It makes for a nervous wife.Otherwise, life is good. It's startign to warm up so we can get outside the house more.My kids in TX are healthy but concerned how unconcerned many people there are. My kids in MI are doing OK. School is cancelled and they are learning as best they can remotely. The teachers are friggin' AMAZING.Be safe and wash yoru hands!
Got to the Blood Bank yesterday....they said there's been very little drop off of donors....appears if you're the type who helps then you do it no matter what.
I imagine an upside is....they're obviously gonna have to test for Corona along with HIV etc...so that's a plus.
[they won't find Corona.... I rarely drink the stuff....prefer Coopers]...
We in Yakima (Washington State) have 50 confirmed case, and only one death. I see that you are from Washington State as well, or did I read your message wrong Jeff?
In Tassie the number of cases jumped from16 to 47 in just a day, which is a worry since we were the first state to go into lockdown a couple of weeks ago. Apparently, most of the new cases were related to several cruise ship passengers being repatriated to their home state. Thing is, they were all placed in quarantine upon arrival, so hopefully the spread of new cases in the state will cease there.
Anyway, we're all free of the virus and Shaunna is responding to the intravenous antibiotics, though she may still be kept in hospital for a few more days to ensure the infection in her leg has gone or at least can be kept under control with oral antibiotics.
Glad you're ok, and hope the Mrs. continues to get well!
My wife, caring for the corona folks.
What I find hard to understand is why so many people are flouting the social distancing ruled imposed by government to slow [and eventually halt] the corona virus. After police were called in NSW to shift dozens of people of Bondi and Manly beaches, I read today that dozens more were on St Kilda beach in Melbourne today, with life savers unable to move them on under the new restriction.
Then there was the photo of a couple of dozen or more revelers at a house party in Melbourne.... and the news story of a woman who was supposed to be in quarantine slipping past authorities to attend a 21st birthday party. Fines and warnings are not keeping these selfish assholes at home in isolation or quarantine. What needs to happen is for martial law to be declared so that authorities can shoot some of these effers.
Not normally an advocate of violence, but seriously something has to be done to make these people do the right thing, and since nothing else is working, maybe half an ounce of lead here and there will make 'em think twice about endangering others.
RedneckDude, You already know this but your wife is a hero.
