You’re full of shit

I don't understand the point Vansmack was trying to make.

I think he was trying to make his usual point: I am smarter than you

Also potentially setting up his other standby: I told you so

Sidepost, send me a PM if you need deets on what this means.

I'm getting ready to send you a BM via the mail

Boris Johnson and Justin Trudeau added to the list of potential exposures.

so i listened to this interview on joe rogan's show (save your rogan-bashing for another time), and it flipped the "this just became real for me" switch.  in case you doubt the guest's credentials: link 1, link 2.

How Serious is the Coronavirus? Infectious Disease Expert Michael Osterholm Explains

the doc states that coronavirus is so virulent, the air one exhales contains the virus when one is at their peak viral load - which is unfortunately before they show any symptoms).  so before you get a fever, you're a walking atomizer leaving a virus-cloud everywhere you go.  this is going to get worse before it gets better.

Just attended a staff meeting where the range of emotion ran from one person who was visibly rolling his eyes, interrupting our supervisor by saying the word "YAWN" loudly, asking "how many people in the US have this like 16? and "this is going to tank our economy"  to....a Chinese-American who has been sounding the alarms in our office for many weeks who proclaimed that "Dr. ……. designed this to get rid of (Chinese) deplorables and now it's gotten out of hand."

Good lord, these people have PHD's.

FWIW, my company just ate like $50k on cancelling an annual gala we throw for social workers out of concern over the need for social distancing.

Great. So, you've identified where you went wrong, now what do you do about it?

National Cathedral and hundreds of churches in Maryland, D.C., Virginia to close for two weeks

On the effects on the touring indie musicians:   https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-country/coronavirus-music-touring-cancellation-965380/ 

[Got Haggis?]

yeah i get it that venues and musicians don't want to cancel stuff - but i thought it was pretty irresponsible for death fest to send out an update saying they were still on.  All large events need to be cancelled probably for at least the next 6 months.  it's really going to hurt artists and venues big time.

If I don’t make it out of this know that I love you guys!
