OT: What changes are you and family making to your lifestyle due to coranavirus?

[TXHuskyFan]

Last night I turned to Sportscenter but no sports. My wife said let’s watch HGTV. Are we sure this is not a plot by them to get rid of our sports?

I wonder how long before ESPN has until they start laying off or furloughing on-air personalities and in-game crews. There is nothing to show right now and nothing to talk about except Coronavirus and what is NOT happening.

Maybe ESPN can return to its roots and show Australian rules football, except they have the virus there too!?!

One thing that is interesting to me is that Rudy Gobert tested positive and so far we only know that one other Jazz player (Mitchell) tested positive. These players would have been in extremely close quarters with each other every day as of late. Does this say anything about the transmission rates? I would have assumed the way people are talking that every player would have tested positive. I would start quarantining, or at least recommending the quarantine now if I were a federal or state official. Let this thing die down. I know you cant trust China with everything but it seems that the quarantine there has slowed the transmission of the coronavirus, and gotten it under control.

I think it’s weird 58 people in the Utah Jazz organization have been tested and like 100 in Connecticut.

I imagine they can fill the gaps with classic games, 30 for 30 docs, and useless information on LeBron that noone really cares about.

Indeed. And this is why EVERYONE should resist the "OMG everyone stay home" nonsense with every fiber of their being. If everyone does, it's all over. Quite literally.

What qualifications are your pontifications based on?
You obviously know more than everyone at CDC and NIH.

I am not freaking out or hoarding toilet paper but I am married to a woman with a good risk of death if she gets this and your irresponsibility contributing to her and others risk is just getting old. Try shutting up for a few week.
But I am sorry that the strain of this is so hard for you. I hope your righteousness survives the pandemic.

 

[NJHusky]

you mean for foreigners?

I was anticipating additional travel/activity restrictions...like a lot of other times...I was incorrect.

 

[Adios]

So basically we're canceling a world meant for young people in order to protect old people who will continue to vote to ruin our planet, segregate our country, and wreck our economy from themselves.

It's meant for people of all ages, you dingbat.

People underestimate how many would be WILLING to help spread the disease. I had a woman cough my way on purpose yesterday as I was just making an effort to keep distance.

A man in Japan who was positive posted online that he was going to spread it on purpose and then he really did purposely go around to various places like restaurants with the idea of spreading it. I don't believe they said anything about him trying to cough on people or not, but it just goes to show that there are going to be weirdos doing stupid stuff as well.

This thread was started on Tuesday. It's wild how my thoughts on the matter have whipsawed in just a few days. I'm pretty much just going to stick to home. Maybe really read that book this time. Go for walks where no one is around. I wasn't feeling this way on Tuesday.

My daughter has dance class on Mondays - 5 kids plus instructor, we're still going to that. Library is closed so our weekly trip is on hold - probably a good thing as who sanitizes books? Wife is working from home. I am not and even if I have the option to WFH I might go in as I can sit in my office and don't really need to come into contact with people in person. Not sure about the gym moving forward, I went yesterday and carried the spray bottle around with me. I run outdoors so at least half the time I'm covered. Also not sure about going to restaurants - we normally eat out 1-2 times on the weekends. I'm also heading to the store today to find some art projects for the kids as the next two weeks are going to be challenging.

Japanese society has a very low crime rate, so coughing on people might look too out of place. Here? Oh, who cares. Might as well sneeze on each other, too.

 

[navery12]

I didn't go to the gym all week, and I hate it. It's definitely not worth the risk so I'll probably try to keep that up for at least a few weeks

 

[huskypantz]

My daughter (8 y/o) just announced that noone is allowed in her room due to the coronavirus.

Just cause car is diarrhea green doesn’t mean you need all that much toilet paper

 

[UKemba15]

who sanitizes books?

Idk why but this made me laugh...just the idea of a librarian painstakingly wiping down copies of ‘Moby Dick’ and ‘20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.’

I was thinkin' they'd hit stuff sounding in 'picture book of tribal customs.' cuz, you know, snot- nosed pre teen boys and all that. lol.

 

[CTBballfan243]

We’re not watching sports, and we’re making sure we have toilet paper. Other than that, not doing anything else differently.

He should be locked up immediately.

Well my plans were shot to crap. I just finished the second book in the trilogy I'm reading and now our libraries have shut down. Just when I'm laid up for a couple days and plenty of time for another 800 pager.

I seriously don't think I can do an 800 pager on a screen. Grrr. Hell, I'd go volunteer to wipe down the books if that meant staying open.

So one of the CT cases is actually Donovan Mitchell

 

[dennismenace]

Are you sure I need more than I already have?

I'm always looking for a new shotgun, but my wife thinks I have enough. Perhaps I can tell her that the-boneyard says we should probably all be buying guns. Worth a shot I suppose.

I'm thinking ammo might be a better idea right now since CT has a bill that is coming up to increase the tax on ammo by 35%. Then, if it passes you can buy more shotguns with the savings. Appeal to her logic.

This week has gone from "business as usual" to my daughter's school being closed for at least 2 weeks and my company is full time WFH "until further notice" and some anticipate that could be as long as 2 months.

It's a weird feeling. I'm stocked up pretty well here and would imagine I'll be going 2-3 days at a clip with no actual human interaction for a while.

Does that include the Boneyard?

 

[Waquoit]

He said human interaction.
