What's new

How has the virus affected you directly?

San Bernardino county issued a mandatory facemask order. Must be wearing a facemask to leave the house. Up to $1000 fine and 90 days in jail. Also they are starting to restrict what stores can sell to critical items only and rationing those at that.
 
So I bought a quantity of masks on eBay. Not N95's, but all the cops in town are wearing the same style, I just can't find any locally to buy. So, what the hey, seller had good feedback...

An hour or so later, I get this message from eBay:

We're writing to let you know that we've removed an item you recently won due to concerns with the seller's account.(Say what?! Lol)

Since you've already paid for the item, you don't need to do anything else.(Thanks, I guess I've done enough) If your item hasn't arrived yet, it should arrive soon.(Really? You mean I can only hope? Lol).

I've picked a winner! Gotta laugh, but I do hope I actually hold my purchase in hand next week. I won't lose my money, but c'mon masks!

I've been exchanging coronavirus humor with a friend in Great Britain. He sent me this...

 
The self quarantining isn't great for single people.. not gonna lie my sex life's been non existing for a month now.. LOL ..
Easy there...

Ugh. A student I had as a frosh who’s a senior now just lost his dad today to corona. Nicest kid. So sweet. Just talked to him for a while.

Wife has lost 95% of her small business income through June as of right now. Likely will go through September at this rate.
 
2 of my nieces tested positive. They live in WA. One is hospitalized, the other is quarantined at home. So far the BIL says they are really sick, tough time breathing, more pain than he expected from what we have been told about symptoms, fever that is hard to keep under control. Their doctor said that lung damage tends to be worse in people that have high uncontrolled fever. Don't know if that's accurate at all. Pretty scary **** right now.

****. I’m sorry, man. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Ugh. I’m sorry, man. Will you be able to get by with just your income?

Yeah, we're totally fine. My main job supports us completely just fine. It was nice to have a couple grand extra a month from her income though. And my side gig that pulled in a little extra each month was also cut. So we are completely fine, but it sucks missing out on having the "fun" money coming in.

I just need to check myself and remember how many people don't have any job right now and it knocks me out of being annoyed pretty quick.
 
I have been isolating in my office at work. I had requested that no one come into my office for any reason (including the cleaning crew) as they can reach me by phone or email. And for almost four weeks, that has been respected as no one wants to be the one to kill me as I'm the most vulnerable in the office. Until today - I was on the phone, and an agent walked in and plopped down in a chair. Gave me a mini panic attack, not going to lie.
