Ongoing coronavirus happenings

Lives lost, and lives diminished. I like my lung function as it is, and hope to keep it.

I have far less trouble believing he did say it than he didnā€™t, the guy is a known social Darwinist.

The Star praising Doug Ford, itā€™s the End Times!

Political leaders around the world should be thanking Donald Trump for setting such a low bar.

He must have forgotten to wash his hands after pulling up his bootstraps.

He wonā€™tā€¦ because he believes in rugged individualism for the little people, not for him.

Me too.

update: :slightly_smiling_face:

most everybody is wearing gloves now, including some customers. i wear themā€¦ sometimesā€¦ i think itā€™s mainly psychological.

beyond helping with face touching, it helps - i think - customers take things (slightly) more seriously. some customers seem not to know thereā€™s a pandemic, others treat us as if we are diseased. ( there should be a balance: if youre too afraid to use touchless payment, you should probably be ordering groceries from home. )

my hands sweat instantly in the gloves. i cant figure if thatā€™s better or worse than all the handwashing. i use lots of moisturizer at night. cloth gloves seem a no-no cause fresh produce gets real wet.

i get the next few days off ( i think. ) right at the start a couple co-workers started staying home for various health reasons. weā€™re not short staffed. yet. ( people donā€™t want to do new hiring, despite the increased loadā€¦ because thereā€™d wouldnā€™t be enough free time to interview or train anyone. )

the people who buy for our store have been working non-stop. theyā€™re keeping it all running with vendors and suppliers.

local vendors are either overwhelmed by the current demand, or closing from the lack of it re: no restaurants and bars. the big warehouses have food, but apparently enough workers are sick or worried about getting sick that staffing is extremely spotty. the delivery drivers seem overwhelmed. arriving hours after scheduled deliveries, or not at all, or with multiple days of deliveries at once.

time limited shopping is our new buzz word.

If anything could, this would be it!

My apologies for lying there, that soulless fuck cares for nothing.
