Covid-19

[GOTWA]

What happened to the good old fashioned term, human?

LL

What about the...things that believe they're animals or objects?

I was really sick the first week in December. Like, stayed home for three and a half days sick. Cough, fever, body aches.

So I'm probably immune to the corona virus.

Probably not.

Wha ... he ... he said "MAN" ! Someone ! Call the authorities !

Jokes aside, that skit aged well.

And we're in a state of emergency.

I can’t wait to be in a FEMA camp! I heard they’ve got wet wipes!

Might be a state of emergency but the essential stores are open.

De Blasio wants a Federal Shelter-In Place order...what the President needs to do is put a gag order on De Blasio.

I honestly think that some of those clowns are trying to "outdo" some of the other clowns in who can do the most. He seems to want to be the leader....

Canada would implode without our booze.

Straight from the "Holy shit, this doesn't make the news" file:

I was talking with some administrators today. Apparently some staff--nurses, RTs, and some others--have flatly refused to come in, effectively quitting. Also other staff just not showing up for work. Not huge numbers, but one is one too many. But it goes to underscore human nature.

...But it goes to underscore human nature...

Indeed it does. That's why those that don't have a clue -- medically -- with what is being dealt with panics the way they do when stuff is thrown at them 24/7.

Not surprised. My guess is that these were bottom 10%ers that were half-assing it anyway. So, as much as it strains the workload, it's probably for the better of anyone.

From Amazon (and not a bad idea IMHO):

Serving our customers
We believe our role serving customers and the community during this time is a critical one, and we want to make sure our customers can get the items they need, when they need them. As COVID-19 has spread, we've recently seen an increase in people shopping online which has had an impact on how we serve our customers. So in the short term, we are making the decision to temporarily prioritize household staples, medical supplies and other high demand products coming into our fulfillment centers so we can more quickly receive, restock and ship these products to customers. We are working around the clock with our selling partners to ensure availability of these essential products, and continue to bring on additional capacity to deliver customer orders. March 17, 2020.

While Amazon will continue taking orders and shipping items from across our store, customers ordering items they don’t need immediately have the opportunity to help others by choosing No-Rush Shipping. Selecting the No-Rush option enables us to consolidate orders and make fewer stops in neighborhoods throughout the week, and most importantly, serve customers with the most critical needs first.
