Ongoing coronavirus happenings

Unfortunately, even the governors who have been quick to issue stay at home orders have done a shitty job of keeping enough outdoor exercise areas and hours to avoid concentrating people into smaller and smaller areas.

Man, fuck Ticketmaster with a rusty spike. Another show I was supposed to go to this year got cancelled (not postponed) and I couldn’t get the ticket insurance refunded. It’s all such a fucking scam.

If this show gets postponed or cancelled, whatever. I just want to know what’s going to happen. Right now nothing has been announced at all and I hate all this uncertainty and find it really irresponsible as well.

We cancelled all of our shows for the season (ending in June) back in March. It was an all hands on deck thing, as there was (at the time) no batch refund utility. Took us about 15 days to refund everything going order by order. When I heard that Ticketmaster et al were still pissing about I could hardly believe it, but I guess they have a very different relationship with their customers.

Die in a fire NBC.

The loosening of stay-at-home orders come amid a growing chorus to reopen economies throughout the U.S. But advisers are warning President Donald Trump that his push to restart business as usual comes with political risks

Not that the fuckwits would actually sign it. Even they know their self-purported “self-reliance” is a load of crap.

I like the y2k was real theory. That’s supposedly when the crystal cracked

So badly written COBOL programs caused a rift in the timeline? ( :thinking: Yeah, no, I don’t think the universe is quite that badly designed.)

Frankly, to me the world before all of this has always felt like wonkily written Brazil fan-fiction.

@MalevolentPixy ‘The tenor of these protests is very clearly: “Why should we have to suffer for them?”’

And I’m a’feared this current reality check will become a poorly comprehended and distant memory in a few short months
 :cry: In quieter moments I think of the author of Ecclesiastes shaking his head and muttering at us, Marcus Aurelius looking on with stern resignation, Margaret Atwood nagging from a wooden chair in the corner of the room
