Ive got this down to an art form, issue is having to go out and buy food and supplies
it's never something i've had to practice. i actually have to be on myself to get out of the house, stop hiding at home. so this is both good, in the sense that i actually rather like it, and bad, in that it's healthier for me to get out
but, yeah, food. you can get groceries delivered with instacart whatnot, and i'll consider that if it gets proper bad. i glanced out the window friday, and i saw a delivery man run up to the neighbors' doorstep, hastily toss a box down.. then he backs a good ten feet away from the door and snaps a pic with his cameraphone to prove delivery, doesn't even have it in his pocket before he's running back to his car
i think i'll just go to the store myself, today. it seems like everyone burned themselves out on crazy toilet paper buying sprees fri/sat and things probably won't get properly bad again until all the people jammed together at airports courtesy of trump's completely unplanned travel ban start filtering back out to the rest of the country and blow "the numbers" up again

yeah, I think the one thing im worried about is getting it and giving it to my mum, cos I know by proxy I will likely kill her. She needs a lot of help from a physical perspective, this is just a nightmare scenario for me. My gf has two grandmothers one is 98 and the other is 93, her dad is 74 as well.

the larger grocery store was completely out of ground beef, or anything close to it. i spotted something that looked close, but then, no, it's "ground lamb." while that sounds like it could be good, i have no idea what to do with it
the smaller, crappier store, amazingly, had it. now i can make tacos tonight, and freeze 3lb or so for the upcoming apocalypse.

got a natural aversion to large crowds (unless it's a bar or a nightclub) and i'm always stewing on "what is the best time to go to the store, with the least bumbling twits clogging up the aisles?"
so far, i have been on the mark: stocked up on canned stuff, the emergency fings i should have had but didn't, last weekend and the friday before that. rounded things out last thursday. hid indoors as everyone went crazy on fri+sat
now, sunday, stores are out of some crap, but everyone's hiding at home. i figure monday, tuesday are my best bet to run out for a few more tings, as everyone is now breathing a sigh of relief with their wads of bumroll, but they'll be bored in a day or three, then all the people from the airports will infect everyone else, and, yes, probably best to hide again next weekend
how's your local area traffic?

yes, mostly the same over here. but since all the schools closed the other house on the property is now stuffed with bored college kids and i could barely get out of the driveway this afternoon. and they were drunk and loud last night. but quiet everywhere else. an odd dichotomy

the majority wanted british independence, he ummed and arred over it then decided to side with what people wanted. then he surfed to power on a wave of demagoguery. no other high up politician supported brexit as much as boris. i support british independence but i couldnt vote for boris despite him being the only pro-independence candidate.he left his own wife and kids to be with a floozy. not that im very judgemental about these things. i even support trump to an extent for the sole reason that he's trying to attempt calming down the major wars that the usa has been starting. boris is out of his depth completely, we were warned.

I think it works in principle, I think in this instance its a bad idea letting the majority of the population get infected as it will lead to the health service getting overwhelmed in a massive spike and lots of additional people dying as a consequence of not having adequate health care, if testing can be carried out and the virus delayed so the minimum number of people are infected at one time, that seems like the right way to go, but im only seeing this from a laymans viewpoint

Herd immunity the way epidemiologists use the term means a critical threshold of your population is vaccinated so a given pathogen can't spread even if someone or other catches it. It doesn't mean BoJo's version, let social darwinism take its course and burn off the excess pensioners.

I saw something on twitter that Boris admired the mayor in Jaws who didn't think they should close the beaches. Surely this is satire from an English version of The Onion? We cannot be living in this reality.
