CoVid-19 Thread.

So, on the day we hit 11th out of 50 states with the most cases, and daily increases expected for a while yet, our “leadership” has decided most everything will reopen on 1 May. While I’m really missing the gym, I have absolutely no intention of darkening the door there or really anywhere until this thing seems to be under at least more control than now.

And @Paruwi, I saw a meme about a joke circulating in Germany that goes “What borders on stupidity? Why, Mexico and Canada!” Can you confirm?

 

[Paruwi]

Can you confirm?

sorry no, not heard of such things over here

edit:
it seems to be there....
and originated by a (usually good) comedian

about a joke circulating in Germany that goes “What borders on stupidity? Why, Mexico and Canada!”

It is more like:
What borders on stupidity ? Mexico and Canada !

I'm quite sure it isn't related to the majority of the population....
you can guess the rest.

I've been in prison for a month now (well it feels like prison).

I live alone so no one to even break the monotony.
Still, better than getting the virus.

Sounds a little like this one.

Considering the number of protests and the goofball governors setting us up for round 2, it's not far off.

Let us not forget that in Florida essential means pro wrestling and scratch-off lottery tickets.

Tennessee is opening for bidness on 1 May, but the Memphis and Shelby county Mayors agree on 5 May. I ain’t goin’ nowhere until 1 June, and hope our scheduled show on 20 June still happens.

I've been out once in the space of 7 weeks That was to the supermarket with my missus to lift some heavy bags of compost into the trolley for her but when we got to the front of the line the security guy said only one adult from a household can enter the store.

 

[BGood]

... the security guy said only one adult from a household can enter the store.

We've had that for quite a while here. It makes sense. Less people trying to negociate social distancing in cramped spaces.

Here you're not going in the local pharamacy. You order on the phone and they give it to you through the door. Pay with credit card you deposit in a sandwich bag they present to you.

 

[Raiyn]

What I really want to know is how they (Georgia) think a hair salon can comply with social distancing?

Also, is touching up the roots in Betty's bouffant really worth the risk?

The bowling alleys I almost get. You can space people / families out on lanes, they already spray the shoes, the balls could (probably) be spritzed with the same stuff. Where it falls apart is when you add booze. I don't know about you guys, but when I bowl, I indulge a bit in a couple of adult beverages. Others get downright sloppy. That can lead to a Bad Thing™

 

[Lancpudn]

Good grief! Uk's covid-19 deaths are still rising.
April 20th 449
April 21st 828
April 22nd 763

It makes for grim reading.

I bought myself a hairdressing kit recently and when my hair starts to annoy me I’ll just run over it with the clippers.
It doesn’t matter what look like if I’m not going anywhere.

Whoops! l almost forgot to mention that Mrs Dig chanced on a 20 pack of bum paper yesterday in out supermarket!

Said they’d had an unexpected delivery!

They're saying Social restrictions might be staying in place for the rest of the year here in the UK https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-52389285

I haven't taken the ol' Safety Razor out in a while to clean up the edges of my beard in a while. Made due with the shaver head in my trimmer kit. It's under a mask if I'm out so why invite the irritation?

As for the hair, our barber / stylist buggered off to Tennessee last year and we haven't found anyone else. I had him cut my hair so that if for some reason I needed to I could tie it back properly in ≈ 6 months. Apparently that was good thinking.

I've had long hair before, it actually works better for me than my "short do" because I can pull the hair tighter to my scalp and not have the bulk of my hair holding heat.

One of the side effects of this stay at home here is that my internet connection has dropped to below dial up levels.

I’ve gone from about 50 Mbs down to around 1 or 2 Mbs. It’s so low I cant watch video at all and besides the quality resembles Tetris ATM. I guess it’s everyone at home streaming movies and the network was never designed for such use. However I’m not happy for being charged top money for something I can’t use.

Same here, just buzz it short. Getting hot in AZ anyway.
