It certainly has....

For starters my salary was decreased 20%. by my bosa and my girlfriend is at her parents taking care of them (66 and 67 years old with cardiac problems) so I'm alone.....

I genuinely miss her. The only good thing is that I've been able to watch way more zoo stuff, but still.
 
Does a fat dog fart? :) Can't imagine it hasn't affected most of us in one way or another. Stay at home order here in FL but I have plenty of home projects to occupy me.

Can we all stop waving our dicks about, please? My original post was meant to be an observation on the effects self-isolation was having on our lives. It was meant to be light-hearted and not a general slanging match. I don't care if you don't subscribe to Darwinism, God, Trump, self-medication or whatever the fuck you want. Please just calm down! We can all have an opinion, it's a big enough world, just learn to get along, there are plenty of bigger dragons to slay before we all start on each other. Please?

Specifically, the coronavirus does not really infringe on my rights and freedom. I continue to work and spend more time with my family. As for panic, I don't care about those who are subject to it. I'm sure people watch too many zombie Apocalypse movies. Any post apocalyptic picture leaves a trace in the psyche of weak people and they begin to act according to the templates from movies in the conditions of escalating the situation in the media and social networks))

Alcohol, drugs, cancer of internal organs, death on the roads... every year, more people die from any of these factors in a single country of the world than during the entire existence of the coronavirus on the entire planet.

As for my perception of the whole situation, dear Pippa - this is logical realism. "In any chaos there is order", and therefore logic. Logic also implies the search for optimal solutions to the current situation. So I just live, no worse than before. Arms, legs, and head are there. Native people are healthy and close to me. My Labrador is also sleeping peacefully nearby ;) What else do you need to be happy??) In all this panic, I see the training of friendships, family ties, and kinship.
 
I'm getting paid pretty much to stay home for three months and play video games, watch netflix, get mounted, walk my boi, and learn new skills. Periodically I get groceries. I haven't been this lazy since MW2 and I love it.
 
Financially, it has no impact: I can work from home, and in some sense become more indispensable with the crisis.

Psychologically, though, it is a bit draining to be at home all the time. Snuggling puppies and talking to loved ones helps, but overall, life has become a bit monotonous.
 
I do have to say if the best part of being an employee of a casino is that I also am part of a union. So the gov will want that sweet tax money back asap, and the union guarantees I have a job when I get it back.

The US has passed 50,000 dead in 3 months from this version of the Virus. The US road toll is 38,000 in 12 months. The US toll could easily pass 1 Million dead in 12 months. I think a little caution is warranted this might not be a Zombie apocalypse or the Spanish Flu it is still a deadly outbreak.

Caution? Sure. Total shutdown of the economy, destruction of the livelihoods of as-yet-to-be-counted millions, the erosion of our human rights, and damn close to police-state behavior of the government (not to mention the delusional ravings of the idiot in charge spewing stupidity such as his most recent off-the-wall babbling about how "maybe we can inject disinfectant" - ESPECIALLY after his earlier attempt to pretend he's a doctor and suggesting that folks take a malaria drug - which has now been shown to kill more people who take it than the Covid they're trying to cure) is a bit "above and beyond" anything like a rational approach.

And they want to send the general populace back to work in a few weeks, some even within a few days. If this becomes a worst-case scenario maybe even more may lose their lives, and that's with an already-strained medical field as it is. I really do hope this is just like the common cold if that's the case...

There have been multiple professionals in the medical field here in the US stating that state governments ought to err on the side of caution and wait for a few months before reopening.
 
Wait a few months...

<shakes head> Hooo, boy... The situation ought to be *REALLY* good by then...
 
This virus has had me going out of my mind since I'm not a stay home person it drives me nut being in the house all day just eat, sleep, and work from home pretty much
 
I'm one of the lucky ones; I get to sit around in my small pants and play video games and "self-improvement", so long as it's somehow related to the job as a whole (say, learning Python), qualifies as "working" (I have to turn in a weekly work log). Plus having the teleconferences (even if there is about 40 of them per day) helps pass the time.

I'd prefer a dog for passing the time instead (ahem!), but my place doesn't allow it. So... that sucks.
 
As a contractor I spend alot of time not working so this is easy, I've been taking shifts but in small towns and nightime gigs staying away from dencely populated areas.
I have found it difficult to obtain building materials for a renovation I'm doing at home that easily could of been done twice now given the amount of time I've spent not working.
 
It has not impacted me directly but watching the world turn into a bunch of scared little bitches has driven me insane. If you want something to be afraid of that is real then be afraid of me. You can survive Covid but if I show up then you're fucked.

Tell that to the millions that died from COVID...

Oh, you mean the people with compromised immune systems? Yeah, that shit tends to happen when you've got AIDS.

Or asthma, COPD, cancer, low blood cell count, failing organs, etc... Not everyone is healthy, and on occasion healthy people do succumb to illnesses. But hey, you do you.
