    But, you know, anyone with OCD will tell you they have been preparing their whole life for this. It's just business as usual.

    Well at least some good has come out of this. /sarcasm #gallows humor

    I was hoping to drop out of this but somebody needs a couch tomorrow in Philly.

    A
    Couch

    Singular

    Boss lady is pushing this, there's a secondary load coming out of Philly to somewhere in NJ. This is the same woman that insisted on running 3 trucks to Manhattan on a freezing rain night and I never even made it to work, crashed on the way in. Totaled my favorite car. I don't even think the client wants to staff tomorrow. 3 day weekend at least for them. But she pushed it through.

    I may still call in sick. This strikes me as "#### that can wait until Monday." And I don't care if TTR censors it.

    Don't know why everyone is worried about food. From what I've seen, especially the megas, a lot of you could go 6 months without a mouthful and be just fine.

    And if it's not overblown? 10 times higher mortality rate than FLU. The problem is the rate of spreading of the infection. We don't have enough beds for those, our elderly/vulnerable, who will get sick and may die, especially if we can't care for them. Thus they want to slow down the rate of spread.

    Some friends of mine
    (with decidedly morbid senses of humor)
    Are calling it Boomer Flu

    And looking forward to all the 60's cars, Harley Davidsons and Florida/AZ real estate that will be available in a year.

    Much as the Boomers have been a headache to me my entire life (GenX) that's a little too mean for my blood.

    I was just thinking what if this is like a life circuit breaker, and it gives all the sheep a moment to pause, and consider what they do with their time and money.

    Ya know, I could use a good plague like this once in a while. Went out to the bar the other night and all the morons were at home. Had a great time.
