Now starts the largest plague of all.

A billion Emails from companies virtue signaling about how they are "Totally gonna clean their stores more!"

My personal favorite is the one I just got from GameStop. I’m like “Dude’s! You haven’t even vacuumed the carpets in my local stores in 7 years. And your staff already look like some sort of diseased medical experiment.”
 
On the plus side, memes:

Travis AFB update

Just spotted: giant ass bus with a driver wearing full-body PPE, visor and all. The cunts are dumping MORE infected here with us. The number of quarantined people now exceeds 10% of the entire base's population, including civilians. None or few of those people have toiletries and have actually been told by people running this mess to "try to order what you need from Amazon". I doubt they're being given adequate food if they don't even have the free shit normally in the facilities hosting them. If those people want to riot, I can't honestly find it in myself to blame them.

On a lighter note, spotted in the Visitor's Center parking lot is a food truck called "Hannibal's Food Catering". Fucking hell, what a time to be alive. Or dead.

The wailing of planes and beating of chopper blades is not letting up. Combined with the constant shrieking of the feral vagina goblins all fucking day with schools cancelled, I've got a migraine trying to start in my right temple every half hour. Not a single parent in sight, they just run around screaming.
 
Wow by the looks of it, by the time I get out of isolation, college and all the shops (cept supermarkets) will be closed. :(
8 days in and I have a cough but no fever, I think I'm good
Good time to start a sanitation business.

Figure out if you need a license to operate in your country and start calling around. You will meet store owners who will tell you about health and safety, figure out a way to provide such services profitably.

Pandemics are opportunities. You are contributing to society on the downside, find ways to convert your labor into liquidity.
 
We are all born dying, C.S. Lewis 1948


"In one way we think a great deal too much of the atomic bomb. “How are we to live in an atomic age?” I am tempted to reply: “Why, as you would have lived in the sixteenth century when the plague visited London almost every year, or as you would have lived in a Viking age when raiders from Scandinavia might land and cut your throat any night; or indeed, as you are already living in an age of cancer, an age of syphilis, an age of paralysis, an age of air raids, an age of railway accidents, an age of motor accidents.”
In other words, do not let us begin by exaggerating the novelty of our situation. Believe me, dear sir or madam, you and all whom you love were already sentenced to death before the atomic bomb was invented: and quite a high percentage of us were going to die in unpleasant ways. We had, indeed, one very great advantage over our ancestors—anesthetics; but we have that still. It is perfectly ridiculous to go about whimpering and drawing long faces because the scientists have added one more chance of painful and premature death to a world which already bristled with such chances and in which death itself was not a chance at all, but a certainty.
This is the first point to be made: and the first action to be taken is to pull ourselves together. If we are all going to be destroyed by an atomic bomb, let that bomb when it comes find us doing sensible and human things—praying, working, teaching, reading, listening to music, bathing the children, playing tennis, chatting to our friends over a pint and a game of darts—not huddled together like frightened sheep and thinking about bombs. They may break our bodies (a microbe can do that) but they need not dominate our minds."
