Real or fake, I'm buying what that video is selling.

Already undergoing intense mental training so as not to flip out at the first email tomorrow from an executive reminding us of the importance of delivering for our clients.

Re: Lysol Slammers
I had a really long video chat with all my friends in Bologna. It was a pretty surreal experience. First, all five of us except for one has gotten pretty sick over the last two weeks. The one who started the whole thing admitted that she thinks she actually contracted coronavirus and gave it to the rest of us. As I said, my symptoms were pretty light. I had just a really bad head cold and a consistent sore throat that would make it hard to swallow in the morning but would quickly subside after a few menthol cough drops. However, one of my other friends (who is a little older -- 39) got pretty seriously ill with a cough and fever, which prevented him from going to Scotland for a two month fellowship. Anyways, I guess it is possible that I already had this thing, but I wouldn't bet on it.
The stories that they were telling me about life in quarantine were pretty fucking bleak. Obviously their own lives have changed dramatically. One of them is a psycho-therapist and several of her patients are experiencing severe mental health issues as a result of this situation. Since their institute is closed, she is actually going into their homes to provide them with emergency sessions. They also mentioned that there was a local spot just outside the city walls where older people typically hung out to play Bocce ball. I guess one of them had unknowingly contracted the virus. A week later literally every single person that he was playing with that day is dead...
So yeah, this is serious.

Re: Lysol Slammers
Yesterday my Mom showed me some weird video that one of her Facebook friends posted of Melania Trump leading the country in prayer. It was literally disturbing.
I have always despised these people. Two years ago my Mom tried to invite the Facebook poster and her husband to my Dad's sixtieth birthday party and I shredded the invitations and made it known to everyone that they would never be welcome at any of my family functions.
Also, could Soma please explain why the British are being so fucking weird and scary right now? A headline yesterday in the national Italian daily (Repubblica) was, "Shock report from British health agency: 80% of the population will be infected and there will be 318,000 victims." Of course that latter estimate is extremely conservative (death rate of 0.6%) and it is more likely that the government is projecting somewhere between 518,000 and one million fatalities. British health services are also projecting that this problem will not be resolved until the Spring of 2021.
You guys are even worse than Merkel and the Germans right now. Fuck....

Sorry, I'm too distraught by the weird and scary reaction of my friends and relatives to attempt to account for the entire society. We're plunging towards death and disaster in quiet resignation, truly the English way (Pink Floyd)

Re: Lysol Slammers
She has something like a cold. She works at the airport and a coworker just got put into quarantine because he has all the symptoms, though he hasn't been tested. Still a decent chance it's just a cold, but just hearing her voice on the phone was like "...fuck."

Re: Lysol Slammers
She's a stubborn know-it-all contrarian so she isn't taking it seriously at all so at least I know she's not panicking I guess.

She's taking time off from work now, right?

Re: Lysol Slammers
No idea!
To be clear she works in a secure location and doesn't like hand boarding passes to people. She's signed up for a tele-screening in the next 24-hours. She just came by my place to borrow a thermometer as she doesn't own one. Was probably wondering why I was staying 6 feet away from her car.

Probably time to make sure that ours is working so we don't have to take an hour to go to Walgreens and buy the tiny replacement battery (there's like 30 different sizes) all of a sudden just when it's needed most.

Was not aware of that. Damn. If I could go to the store, I'd probably grab one or two. Guess what my blood glucose meter runs on. lol

Re: Lysol Slammers
And I really hope your mom is and is going to keep being okay, Duff! I think it's okay to get "forceful" with her, if you think she's in/putting anyone else in legit danger and just won't accept it.
