buy a bunch of rice noodles, frozen veg and protein to freeze. super easy stir fries
That sucks. I have no real advice, other than maybe put pressure on them on Social Media (if they are even there)
Parents just don't like dealing with their kids all day long, if schools close down they get upset because now they have to take care of them (or find someone who will) they don't care about the reason why (I am a PE teacher so I know first hand lol).
I filled my cupboard and freezer. And bought a bunch of Cadbury eggs. So, I am as prepared as I'll ever be.
It really was crazy how busy they were for the middle of the day. I am sure by tomorrow the shelves are gonna be a lot more empty.
I have heard the same from someone I trust, but no guarantees of course
They don't and that's exactly why this is gonna come back and bite them in the ass.
My wife is a teacher in second grade so she'll be able to take care of the kids as long as it goes on, but some parents will have difficulties...
(although 3 kids confined for weeks, tough times ahead lol)
Welp, there it is...
Inslee to order all private, public K-12 schools in King, Pierce, Snohomish counties to close through April 24 due to coronavirus concerns
Working at home with a 6- and 8-year old who can't go anywhere for a month and a half. This is gonna be something.

a good friend just mentioned i might be ok if the rumors are true.
i ask what rumors...
he says 'that black people can't get it or are less likely.'
i point out to him that its in africa... and that there has been no data about ethnicity from victims.
waiting for sources.
this is amazing.

Hahah no shit, I'm in Johnston, too!
But yeah, you are right. This is just the beginning. Stay strong, fellow Johnstonian! 🍻
The Wal-Mart I work at was a mad house today. Anything for cleaning is gone. Water gone. Toilet paper (even the RV toilet paper) gone. Paper towels gone. Tooth paste, pasta, soup, bread.
And now there's barely anyone in the store.

People wouldn't do that if so many of us didn't live paycheck to paycheck with both parents working. It's even worse for single parents, taxpayer funded school is a lifeline for them.
Jesus that's huge.
What are the numbers going to be in major cities in the country?
All Dutch universities have agreed to stop lectures and examinations until the end of March. Finally.
Met with management again. They aren't budging on letting us work from home. I'm so fucking mad.
Our CEO just bragged for an hour that resources to work remotely would be made available. Fucking lying piece of shit.

Better to over assume than under if you want to actually attempt to contain. I think it's too late either way.
Im quite shocked, in a good way, at the measures we (Ireland) are taking handling this thus far.
"Only" 3 community transmissions so far.

Lisbon market was insane when I went there to just buy some drinks. Think it's setting in. Also talk of a likely curfew soon.
This is only 11+ days of community spread. its within reason.

Heh, at least your management is talking about it
Here everyone is acting like it's a normal day.
Ironic that the higher management all took a vacation at the same time....
Especially as there is a break in 2 weeks anyway. Idiotic.
I live in Sioux City, the Walmart I work at has been getting slammed this week, no soap, no sanitizer, no toilet paper. Paper towels and bottled water are getting that way too.
they've cancelled sporting events here and the st Patrick's day parade and we don't have a confirmed case yet, but I'm sure it's here.

Heard from someone the US is planning to do that next week
I'm worried about my sister in law who will be delivering her first born in April/May.
Has there been any information about how pregnancies might be affected due to the virus?

While I'm sure the infected across the US is likely tens of thousands at this point, I would like to know where in the world they got 100,000
I definitely feel for the stress it'll put on families that rely on shift work for income, just some of the comments about being so personally inconvenienced made me wonder how much worse things have to get to realize the situation we're in...
Fucking hell why did we have to elect Boris fucking Johnson, this "delay stage" seems to involve doing less than the one before. It makes no sense other than protect the economy at all costs.
I wonder how many people will get infected this way. I suspect I may already have it (dry cough and slightly elevated temperature since this morning).

that's a much longer time frame than other states. Wow.
this is going to put a huge strain on people in the healthcare industry with children.
ah sorry I think I read out of context because I'm so baffled about it
