One good thing about all of this is that we'll come out of it with a pretty good list of losers who want the world to burn and slackers who'll do / tolerate anything for the opportunity to "work" from their living rooms.

I can do my job from anywhere with a network connection. Why should I sit in an office all day?

I got laid off this morning, so I have that going for me. They even told us it was directly because of the COVID-19 scare

Ridiculous. Hang in there. There could be a lot of opportunities during the bounce back

Move to New Orleans...problem solved. Now, you will pick up a plethora of other problems, but people not going to bars, getting shite-faced and driving won't be one of them.

I'm very worried. I work in the oil industry. These liberals love the disaster scenario and push this narrative. They would love the economy to crash and burn.

Wuhan cases have dropped dramatically. They expect new cases to be 0 in a week or two.



I legitimately put close to 0 stock in what's happening in China. Their methods of controlling this virus will never happen here so it's not super useful to say that cases in china (who we don't believe, remember?) are going down.


Also, this shite started popping off in China several months ago. It just started popping off here in the last couple of weeks.

So that people with my job can walk by your desk and scare you off of Tigerdroppings 6-8 times per day.

There are over 1,500 confirmed cases in the US right now. Only 10 of them are in critical condition. Precaution is fine. Panic is not.


Ten days ago there were 75 confirmed cases. So, in ten days we have 20 times as many. So, in ten days from now do we have 30,000? That's a lot of sick people. Many that will die. These deaths could be family members or friends. Sorry, but these people probably wouldn't have died this year if not for this shite. These are people's parents, brothers, sisters, aunts and uncles. They are not just a number.

We certainly are now. Bookmark this page so we can check back. I bet we're at 30,000+ in 10 days. It's climbing awfully fast now.

Which would be a historically LOW year if we were talking about seasonal flu.

We're not. And, 10 days does not equal a year.
