Re: Coronavirus

minneapolis is basically closed now. we have 60 cases, at least 22 of which are in my county.

i tried buying groceries 'cause i'm off today and wanted to make sure i could quarantine when i get sick. haha, NOPE. man people suck. me and my roommates are dangerously low on toilet paper, so we gotta strategize

my mom and i are worried about my grandma. she's 92 and in the hospital-- almost succumbed to the flu. she got it from being at her current residence, where my uncle passed it to her. i'm telling my mom to take my grandma into her house and get her the hell outta the twin cities. hopefully she listens.

the alano (place where aa meetings are held) is open despite all of this 'cause, let's be real, addicts have a higher chance of dying from addiction than covid-19. we have to socially distance and make meetings smaller. i went to one just now and was tryna not touch anyone lol

many of my friends are out of work because they work in the service industry. it fucking sucks. i basically can't tutor anymore myself, which was my 2nd job, but i'm super super fucking glad i work at target now because i know i can work there through all this.

edit: my dad also yeeted to somalia after i came out. he was supposed to come back at the end of this month but due to the virus he's still in somalia. somalia had their first confirmed case yesterday. blarrgghhh. i think he should come home and isolate with my mom and bros but idk. my mom's a nurse so perhaps home isn't the safest but my mom's also an anxious clean freak so.

edit2: me and my mom being tight again is another story that's not about the coronavirus. haven't spoken to my dad in almost half a year though

Lots of good and bad here, but glad you still can partake in some of the things to help yourself.

Re: Coronavirus

I'm growing more and more concerned that all airports that aren't major will be shut down... Last night coming in I saw a grand total of four people waiting for the subways which scares the shit out of me

Re: Coronavirus

My job is at a convenience store and is apparently essential so its business as usual. 48 hours a week, "we will be there for our customers"

At least if I or anyone in my family gets anything they will pay entirely for the medical expenses and I get 100% paid sick leave for as long as it takes.

Re: Coronavirus

Friend from Boston told me he saw lot of people buying guns wtf.

First case in my city and people went crazy, gasoline only for ambulances, delivery cars and pharmacies, toilet paper is gold, people are not buying masks because the cost (30 dollars only 10 masks), government increased the tax unit a 2000% and asking for help obviously they don't have money for this situation.

People not working and minimal salary is 5 dollars in Venezuela, this is a chaos lmao.

Re: Coronavirus

County closing almoat everything
DeSantis is refusing ti close beaches because he wants that sweet sweet fucking tourist money. We're over 400 cases and the state is dicking about

My county is picking up the slack and posting copa everyone to keep people out of beaches. Most fiod joints are either close or take out only

My boss, being the age group that would insta die from this, has asked us all to just self quarantine with him and my mother (they have a house apiece on the same property basically) and it was either that or dont show to work

My job is technicallly medical so between freedom to catch viruses and never be paid and that offer, I accepted

Its day 2 and i hate myself

Rebirth its good to hear from you again but wish it was under better circumstances

Re: Coronavirus

greedy selfish and dumb

Re: Coronavirus

I don't really feel like these are bad circumstances. I'm not afraid of any of this whatsoever, and the fact that my job remains somewhat normal is fine with me. Just makes me money to buy stocks while they're down and take advantage of the "crisis."


MMR: wait what. so your job is medical related and your boss forced you to move to one of his properties because he thinks his property is aids free and if you didn't move you wouldn't have the job anymore?

Sounds like a lawsuit when this is all over.

Re: Coronavirus

Haven't technically lost my job, but on a 60 day furlough as a result of this.

In a good enough spot to weather it if need be, but would rather not so I guess I'm job searching.

Re: Coronavirus

Hey guys. It's been a while.

I am currently self quarantined at my own house working from home. I got bored and thought I would check out this place. I hope the rest of you guys are doing alright.

Best of luck to ya, the job search is pretty suckish over here.

Lots of people's businesses are being forcibly closed due to mandatory measures & actions from governments.

When it's 'only grocery stores, government support businesses, government structure buildings, and other jobs required to keep society working (such as post office, hospitals, or pharmacies); The large sum of people working minimum wage in non-essential positions are flooding the job market for the essential locations. It's completely backed up. Wal-mart where I live has told me to look elsewhere, as they have a queue of 50+ people with accepted resumes, waiting for a position. Can only assume it's like this elsewhere.

Really sucks for people living paycheck to paycheck. And depending on how long this epidemic lasts, it's going to put a fair amount of strain on multiple local governments across the world.

Re: Coronavirus

I work at Whole Foods and we have gotten a pretty much unlimited amount of overtime coupled with a temporary 2 dollar raise with overtime now being double. I’ve just been going to work and going home and working on school since school is all remotely done now for the rest of the semester. I’ve been getting things gradually to stock the apartment with necessities and groceries. We are pretty prepared for anything now. I’m more worried about the people than the virus itself.
