  1. I’m moving my operations across the street for a while. Ironically, it’s safer now.
  2. Yes. It’s one thing to be distressed by a natural disaster, but something else entirely to watch helplessly while our medical teams and essential workers risk their lives because pandemic planning was scrapped.. That is what has plunged many of us into despair/depression, not the virus alone. If it was just the virus, we would normally execute our well developed plan and save many lives. But this is not normal, and distress is an appropriate response. Discussing that response is not “discussing politics”. IMO.
  3. Not any calmer, but commiseration over the situation can be found in the other forum, which has become a pretty supportive place during this catastrophe.
  4. During my front yard social distancing cocktail hour, all kinds of neighbors strolled by that I had never seen before. I am enjoying it, for as long as the weather holds out — Texas summers are brutal.
  5. I just had Bloody Marys with neighbors, seated eight feet apart in my front yard. I recommend it.
  6. Yes but Beth my favorite post is yours about someone’s pie hole. 😁
  7. I mean, a lot of people will be removed by covid. I guess we will see if social distancing is yet another hoax or not.
  8. It is indeed bending most places. Not in the US, still going up with a bullet.
  9. I have the distinct impression that natural selection will have its way. They were warned. As for red state governors, i just can’t for the life of me understand why they would want to throw their citizens and themselves into the volcano.
  10. Yes, I was just thinking how grateful I am for dishes to wash, food to prepare, for any little simple task.
  11. I am trying a new sleep tactic, by pretending I meant to wake up, and having little tasks to perform, instead of lying there ruminating. Last night at 2am, I soaked in a tub of hot water. At 4:30 I logged into SL and fixed a toaster a customer had requested. Each time, I was able to go back to sleep for a bit. I used to easily sleep through the night with the aid of a cannabutter cookie, but I can’t do THC at all because it makes me ruminate. By the time the first covid patient arrived in this country I had already ruminated the Apocalypse we are in now. I don’t want to go there anymore, however prescient.
  12. In the US, we are not just dealing with the virus disaster but the avoidable results of catastrophic and often deliberate mismanagement by those with power. The first is hard to bear but the latter is much worse. It is terrible that people are dying, but unendurable that so many of them could have been saved. Even now, nine states have no lockdown orders. Georgia just reopened the beaches they closed just the other day. It is all madness, or spite, and that is what is so hard to endure. For those not listening to Gov. Cuomo’s daily briefings, they are inspiring. Gov Cuomo has begged for national rolling deployment* of medical resources for when states are peaking, instead of individual states bidding against each other AND FEMA, then when the peak is over, being left with a glut of equipment. This makes perfect sense, but the admin says no, states are on their own. *“Calling New York a hot spot in the fight to stop the spread of the coronavirus, the governor urged President Donald Trump to consider a “rolling deployment” of ventilators and medical personnel first to this state before moving to other regions. “We can take the equipment, we can take the personnel, we can take the lessons to the next area in need,” Gov. Cuomo said.”
  13. There are multiple current threads expressing similar views. Have you asked your grocery store to cut prices?
  14. All a huge keyword field does is make it harder for people to use search.
  15. On the contrary, there are many brilliant, honest, patriotic, heroic, deeply moral people in Congress, working constantly to save our democracy. The impeachment was not a circus, but a battle brilliantly executed in the name of truth and justice. But there are a lot of others with blood on their hands. And they are fine with it.
