Gotta keep those tithes coming in.

I'm enjoying my police state atm. The cops can drag you off for no real reason and we've been told to expect to see the military in the streets.

Borders closed can't even flee;).

The cops have a huge amount of leeway and and chosing what laws to enforce and how. They're ignoring ones like how much dangerous goods you can ship.

Also not really allowed to leave the local area. Walking around the block is fine anywhere else can be a please explain.

I've bought two weeks supply of alcohol for the third time this week (joke). Wife vetoed my plan to get 24 litres of Zatecky Gus.
 

Today in press conference President Trump said (paraphrased) U.S. deaths would be between 1.6 million and 2.2 million if we do nothing. He went on to say that 100,000 to 200,000 range would mean we did a good job.

I have confirmed these statements in the middle of a video that’s over an hour long. I seen reports on some news sites but no video clips - So i validated.

I have problems taking his word for anything, But given his being contradicted so often by actual experts ie by actual medical scientists its even worse.
 


Half the country essentially unemployed.


Wife's been sent home for the week despite being in "essential" work. She had a heap of holidays owed and they're encouraging ones with more than 20 days to use some.
 

Hmm, well, I'm going to post something that is on what the thread was originally about, but seeing as the thread has moved to a different forum...this may actually be off topic from the thread now.

Maybe I should start a new thread.

Anyhows...continued to play Dungeon of the Mad Mage with our group while we are in isolation. Using the Portal. Hit some glitches this time as the portals got fuzzy at times. I checked and it doesn't seem that my internet was being used by others, but maybe there is an impact on internet usage through the community at prime hours?

Going is slow, we are still on the first level. It is starting to go more smoothly now. They backtracked somewhat through areas they already explored (I'm not expanding the dungeon, so those areas are simply rooms now, meaning they had to backtrack somewhat to the rest of the first level).

Some have apps to roll the dice which they then show me, others moved so we can at least see the dice rolls when they roll them. It seems to be going well now, though I still prefer face to face gaming.
 


Average of expert opinions is now at about 240,000 deaths in the US this year from covid-19. So, yeah, 100,000 would be us doing a good job.

I don't think I share that opinion.

Perhaps it would be a good job done by the US if it accomplishes this from here on out...

On the otherhand, I think good job would have been far below 100K deaths if the US had been proactive about it before this point.

Of course, similar thoughts could be expressed towards how many various nations have reacted to it thus far.

China may end up looking really good in comparison.
