Dude they shut us down... Bay Area is shelter in place order... ain’t nobody going to any[user not found] wrote: ↑Mon Mar 16, 2020 10:28 pmStill open, with shortened hours (closing one hour earlier, big fucking whoop).
Max, what’s going on in Russia? Been very quiet on that news front lately. Coronavirus taking a hold there or is it just 3.6 Roentgen as usual?
Russia:
They are in a mini panic like we are ... masks were going for $60 euro.
But they have far fewer official cases. Seems like they are just sheltering In place.
I frankly don’t see/hear of many cases, we have 6000 employees and we work with China on the dialy... 0 confirmed cases for us ...
why such a panic is on. No one cared until the pasta tossers freaked out

My sister just posted pics of her and some friends with kids families at the beach, and eating out at some crammed restaurants.
Labeled as "Spring Break 2020!"
My dad just had neurosurgery to alleviate some blood from his brain area. My sister is the only person that keeps tabs on him (She moved him to Florida with power of attorney over him years ago because he wasn't capable of functioning).
So I'm calling it now. She's gonna get the shit, and not have any symptoms and then pass it off to him and then wonder where the hell it came from, and I'll be the one to point out the obvious to her.
I messaged my mom with "is this bitch serious?" and her response..... "your point?"
So yeah. I don't really care much what happens to my dad, but watch. My sister making some stupid moves like this is a pretty selfish move.

I work corporate security for a financial institution (usually will not shut down unless it’s martial law because economic importance [all financial institutions]) but at this point our actual office is WFH at a 60% capacity and will increase this week to be around 75%. My job will most likely be safer than going to “work” elsewhere due to lack of ppl working.

People are just hoarding and prepping instead of just sheltering in place and preventing spread.
Getting all upset when their St. Patty’s day festivities are cancelled.
Nobody can think big picture. Fuck the economy. Fuck big business. Let’s press pause for 2 weeks to save our parents and grandparents, our aunts and uncles, our neighbors.

Russia is probably at or around proportionally as bad as China was (before it tapered off) but they would rather vote Putin in for unlimited terms than publicly handle coronavirus

But there is a story circulating that the us started the virus outbreak to dampen Chinese economy

Dampen the Chinese economy to then increase the chance of war? Once China is not the end all be all of manufacturing and trade with the US/global economy what’s to stop them from trying to assume global dominance by other means

The stories I have from my office bathroom are pretty impressive. Glad I'm not going in anymore.

This is the idiot we have to deal with who severely lacks comprehension. He's only mad because our governor is a democrat (but basically acts like a republican)

My god I hate this fucking state. The idiots that rally around this retard are just appalling and genuinely uneducated. Another one that thinks this is a "Chinese virus that invaded us"

The employee tested positive for flu, not the Big C, so second shift is working tonight and everyone is going back to work tomorrow, on a voluntary basis. Bossbro firmly believes there'll be a mandatory shut down of all business next week so we want to produce and ship as much business as possible before that happens.

My sons made him work today bell to bell. They are doing alternate days instead of the usual schedule but that's to protect sales floor coverage, NOT the employees.
This thing is likely to bankrupt me if it gets as bad as it seems it will..... but I consider us an essential service that needs to stay open even though a big part of me would like to tell everyone to stay home.....
