Muh Muh Muh My Corona (virus)

Crime stats will be fun to study in a year or two. DUIs down, home burglaries down, armed robberies (hopefully down) - though I could envision a spike in domestic cases naturally.

 

Pictures of people thronging the cherry blossoms in DC. Where's the Chinese army when you need it?

 

Neighborhood FB groups on basically any topic... I'll use a Kroger opening up down the road...

Step 1. - Hey, there's a new Kroger opening up
2. Wow that's great
3. I wish it was a Wegmans
4. Yeah, I heard Kroger does not pay well.
5. I don't want all the traffic.
6. Think of the wetlands and the environment.
7. I heard that they are not doing good things for the environment.
8. I heard they are owned by ISIS.
9. Now we are about three weeks in and it's only 7-8 nutjobs posting back and forth.
10. One person remembers that having a Kroger close is great and says so.
11. Within 15 minutes 4-5 crazies are attacking the person on FB.
12. Kroger built.
13. Looney tunes move on to new cause.

Other causes to fight for on FB
I hate new subdivisions being built, but my subdivision is cool.
Kids who do not look like they live here are walking on street.
Kids selling magazines - look like thieves, don't let them in.
Mail carrier is a worthless piece of shit.
The pool company that runs the pool sucks.
Dog shit.
People are driving too fast.
People are using our tennis court who might not live here.
Our neighborhood is too dark. We need lights like they have on road construction at night.
Kids ride skateboards in the road.
My kid needs a $2 book for their AP course.
Does anyone have any recommendations for a Paris trip?

 

The national background check system went down today because in addition to TP, folks are panic buying firearms at a crazy pace.

Also, I went to get a few things at a nearby grocery store. And y’all, there are a bunch of folks who do NOT understand social distancing there.

 

I had a friend post a question asking if anyone knew someone who had it because until they did he would just keep living his life. About the first three people who responded said they knew multiple people and more added on after that. Of course there were the crazy conspiracy people thrown in. Regardless, I don't think he got the point.

 

I don’t think you’re a bunch of overreacting pussies. I think you’re a bunch of fucking fear porn addicts rooting for our country to collapse.

 

Another Trumpist heard from ...

 

AQB, you can be a funny guy. Too bad you're also an ignorant asshole.

 

So you believe forcing people out of their jobs and effectively shuttering the economy is an appropriate response to a virus that is nowhere as harmful as the flu is appropriate? Show your work.

 

Go fuck yourself.

 

Well, on one hand, we have the world's leading epidemiologists saying this is a big deal and these are the steps we should be taking.

On the other hand, we have brain geniuses like you saying it's no big deal.

I wonder who's right ...

 

Then they’re hiding something from us that’s coming and is truly horrible because the numbers we’ve seen don’t justify what’s happening. This has been here since at least December. If it’s as bad as it’s being reported it is, hospitals should have been overwhelmed months ago.

The virus is real. The panic is being manufactured.
