If I live like a college student again then I should have the immune system of one right?

I went to another grocery store and they enforced limits on stuff (What a concept) so they were not as crazy and picked over. And of course found the Twinkies so I'm good to ride this out a bit now

Probably the same as drowning by water boarding till you croak . Ya sounds painful.

Will be intersting how funerals will be done, since the churches and many other places are closed.
Plus nobody (well at least most) would go to a funeral right now anyway, as they are large gatherings of people.
I see more cremations than burials during this.

I have physical therapy for my Achilles tomorrow and am going back and forth on canceling. I had a heart attack back in September and while the doctor said there was minimal damage when they put the stent in I don't want to take any chances.

I'd phone your physio, see what they say about your treatment. Maybe might be possible to self treat in some way. Or they might introduce video calling consultation.

The mortality rate in Italy is insane. They're probably going to surpass China in the number of deaths in a couple of days.

Shit

He was hospitalized a few years back for a severe asthma attack too, so that's not good.

At least 18 active-duty U.S. service members have tested positive for COVID-19.

Ironically what is making their numbers so bad with this is what normally looks good for them with one of the highest life expectancy rates in the world. So sad how seemingly one mistake not diagnosing one person correctly is believed to have sparked that spread. Hopefully the worst critical mistakes are behind us.

And folks on other threads are still worrying if their BD arrives without a slipcover, or one with the slightest damage...

They are right to worry. Slipcovers are good toilet paper.

I know this will sound crazy to most but maybe not to you . . .

Every Tuesday I get in my mailbox all these ads/circulars from Walgreens, Walmart, Albertsons, Smiths. Nice light weight newspaper. So I am now thinking . . .

Let’s put it this way, before the outbreak we already had crazy people here in town. A few weeks ago someone was shot at Dave & Busters over a dispute for a stuffed animal. I can’t imagine what it will be like if they run out of TP for their bungholes.

If I might make a suggestion . . . Start writing a post. Pour your heart out. Then go to the advanced screen and read what you wrote (hit PREVIEW button). It helps to "get it off your chest." If it's something you want to share with us then hit SUBMIT REPLY.

An Australian newspaper printed blank pages to be used as TP
