So what if...

The Jefferson County (Birmingham) EMA is suggesting no gatherings or events that would be more than 500 people. Pretty sure that will quickly lead to schools in Alabama also being closed. 

This is stupid crazy. It's really hard to wrap my head around house our society is easily controlled by fear. The rate this is going, I am not going to be surprised if there are quarantine mandates put in place for all of us very soon.

Guess that means I get to work from home now!  


Yeah, probably not.

There could be silver lining to all this.  Mini Snags is in his second semester of JUCO.  He made the Dean's list the first semester.  He's on everybody's list, including mine this semester.  I think they should shut it down and give him a do-over.  I mean, how's anyone going to concentrate with the Corona's swirlin' all up in here?

We ban travel to China and Europe, cancel major sporting events and suspend sporting seasons in the name of preserving life but we don’t close even a single abortion clinic for the same reason.

Fucking A.

After much consideration I have changed my position on this topic.  If you have a garbage diet, are unhealthy, smoke daily, never exercise and have never attempted to take care of your own personal health, I believe you should self isolate for at least 6 month. While I continue to live my every day life I don’t want to see your fat unhealthy ass shoveling unlimited amounts of food into your fat disgusting mouth in between smoke breaks. Also, don’t call 911 when you and your family start a fight because bringing people into your house could be deadly to your weak immune system.

Thank you for your willingness to stay the fuck away from me as I continue to live my high quality life.

Have to hand it to you, this is inspiring.

How intrinsic are free doughnuts and inmate sex to the high quality life style?

Whiff and Whiff.

If you ladies go about life as usual and survive, which you are both tough guys, so you may—you will be among the 85%.

You will basically have survived a bad cold. But you will also have infected 3.5 people, each.

Despite my brain damage,  I’m likely still the smartest person on here. And yes, I realize Wes is still alive. Just take my word.

You won’t get a trophy for surviving and you will have contributed to keeping the virus alive.

It’s the 15% of more severe cases that we have to worry about. And even though Token thinks we should kill off all the fat smokers with diabetus, all of them aren’t in that category.

Older people can be in great shape and their immune systems still react to this virus in a way that causes lung secretions that they drown in. If you’ve ever heard the death rattle, you know what I’m talking about.

It ain’t pretty.

I’m encouraging you to not live life as normal. Do it for the elderly.

Do it for kaos and snags. Ok, maybe that’s a bad example. But surely there is someone over 60 that you want to live.
I don’t know what happened to jmar but he’s gotta be one. And he’s actually likable. Sani is awful close if not there. To being old, I mean. Not likable.

But seriously, it’s real. What happened in Italy and China. For the portion of 15% that need the ventilator and there aren’t any available, it causes that sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach because I remember struggling to breath and it feels awful. Terrifying. Then the vent takes you from hell to heaven in that there is zero effort.

Overrunning our hospitals and ICUs can only be prevented by staying home and flattening the curve. It’s not about us individually. It’s about saving the old folks.

[Buzz Killington]

You're gonna need to talk to my CIO about that...because he says it's business as usual for our department.  We are here to support all those users who are at home pretending to VPN in and work.

Well, I guess I should have worded that better. We have to go to work. But we don’t have to go to the gym.

Well, except Token. He needs to go to the gym. Definitely.

Well, my gym closed as of 8:00 last night.  Looks like I'll have to come beat your ass now instead of the heavy bag.  What time would be good?

I just don't see the model being duplicated in the US. Italy had an unusual number of older folks in close proximity with a culture of touching and hugging. China was ground zero and had no idea.

The travel restrictions put in place by this admin will prove to be very important. We have a large population of elderly that do not clump in society. So that should prove to be beneficial. 

Our vulnerability in that area is, as we saw in WA, the old folks homes. If it gets into areas of high elderly population without the ability to distance themselves, it could hit each hard. But in each case, the institution itself is isolated from the rest of society.

The next two weeks will be our peak. Hopefully we have enough supplies to wipe our collective asses.

If you really want to, after 6 is fine. But I must warn you, I spar naked.

If you have a problem with that, you best not come.


And I don’t appreciate your using me to replace your “heavy” bag. It’s neither cool nor funny.

You’re better than that, Buzz.

I forgot that you lost weight.  My bad.

Almost 3 pounds. Never mind.

After seeing the panic in this country after this past week, you should be able to see this model. It doesn’t take much to literally scare the shit out of people, here. They are buying up horse trailers full of toilet paper.

It can happen here and especially if people don’t help stop the spreading.

I agree. Stop spreading the manure.

Apparently, you need the N90 mask. Only wearing a hood will not protect you.
