coronavirus update: the guys that run the liquor store were running around like chickens with their heads cut off; hustling to restock the shelves... however, it did not seem like they were having any problems acquiring enough product to meet demands

there's been so much backpedaling on this shit -- and i don't just mean trump going from "it's a democratic hoax! a media witch hunt!" to "it's really bad."
i mean the CDC going 250 -- no, wait, 50... no, 10! all the state governors saying "i'm going out to eat tonight, restaurants will not be closing" and then being all "we're closing all bars and restaurants" under twelve hours later.
i don't think they're going to do a national shelter-in-place if it gets really bad, but the governor's denying a statewide shelter-in-place, which means we will get exactly that unless things slow down.
so that's the point where you go from being "i could last two weeks just fine after all the stuff i've just bought" to "i think i just heard trump say july or august." i suppose the grocery stores will still be there, but i am debating whether i should make another run on the weed dispensary, because i have no idea whether they'd let those places stay open if statewide shelter-in-place hit. i suspect they'd let liquor stores stay open to keep people sedated in their homes, however, and ideally, that would extend to dispensaries too. i also suppose they have medical reasons for remaining open, nice, ok. but would they limit it to medical only, and no recreational?
so many variables.

Our water not working. Im out in the street, trying to check the meter in my pyjamas and the lady from across the street calls me “hey, do youuu like chilli sauce?” “Yes chilli sauce is great!” “Come inside, I have chill sauce for you.” I shouldve said no but my brain doesn’t work properly for at least an hour after waking up, so I went in. Her dogs are all over me, she’s up in my space. Next thing I know, Im standing on a chair getting chilli sauce from a high cupboard. Walked out there with 4 jars of chilli and a potential case of corona.

our infection rate is still relatively low on the list but the president has shut down the country, banned a bunch of countries from getting in, cancelled visas, closed schools and told everyone to do an elbow bump as a greeting. After his speech on Sunday night, shops were EMPTY. Glad we had the foresight to do our panic shopping before the president's speech.

There's nothing wrong with self interest as long as you recognize who shares common interest with you, and who doesn't, and act accordingly.

I have noticed an effort by the media to turn this from a story about the failures of leadership and inherent structural problems within the neoliberal order, towards a story about some helpless, dumb and panicked people here and there, haha let's laugh at them.
Not that I haven't fallen into this trap myself.

40 years of cutting to the bone, 40 years of social atomisation and isolation, 40 years of a free market fundamentalist mentality that has come to dominate everything and changed from "success comes from competition" to an open endorsement of its corollary, "failures must be allowed to die naturally"

assuming the nsa and their partners haven't got even "better" at tracking you via satellite or cable tap, it takes 0.686 seconds for you to be automatically tagged for surveillance. under the TURBINE programme, your physical location is the tip of the iceberg. israel is just using different data points to determine who's tracked. dystopian az fuq
