Hm, early grey. Why don't I have that in stock!?

@Gimby cause you're... Too late

@Magisch bummer!

"early grey" ? I feel shame for making that typo.

/me looks in

how we all doing?

Working from home.

Meh. Working from home, bit boring.

I can do that for one day, but several days in a row... ugh.

I'm pretty used to it.

@Gimby try two weeks

/me watches italy hand it's beer over

hmmm wife's been told by work, 4 weeks unless essential staff.

10 days ago

@djsmiley2kTMW Working from home all my life... nothing new... only difference is that at the moment school is online so kids are home too (high school, so they don't need any pampering)

ah

at least they can take care of themselves

my two are off, as is the wife as she's got some kinda chest infection

yeah, small kids are different story

I hope your wife gets better soon

@ResistanceIsFutile just for science: start pampering them and notice the response ...

stop bothering me...

LOL

@M.A.R. weird, in the TV show it's early. Guess the time lines between the books and the TV show are more different than what I remembered/thought. :(

Another possibility is that's it is a detail added only in the TV show, and isn't present in the books at all. Let's see... in the books, what exactly happens to Theon when he.... becomes a hostage?

@M.A.R. why stupid? Example? What irritates me is her inability to control her son....

@rene Pampers? Good brand of diapers, yeah. Guess that when the world will collapse due to the Corona virus and sewers will all overflow, people will prefer to use those instead of toilets. That's what you meant, right? :D

ew.

So, is there anyone here still not affected by the virus, one way or another?

@Gimby no worry, you can use other brands. Pampers are not perfect.

;)

@ShadowWizardisEarForYou right

@rene left

Donkey!

@Gimby Kong?

I'm under the effect of enforced social distancing, and worried that governments might start to starve their population in name of slowing down the spread.

@ShadowWizardisEarForYou Psh, can't get your GoT trivia right and also not an obvious Shrek reference.

@JohnDvorak that certainly crossed my mind when I listened to all the announcements ...

@JohnDvorak same here, but it's not being enforced yet.

in the end, not only killing the young instead of the old, but also more of them.

staving?

@JohnDvorak I'm worried about the measures

our health agency says the outbreak could last 2 years here, we can't keep our economy shuttered for 2 years

It seems the world's governments will soon need some ... quarantine-suppressants.

they reacted way too late and now they want to fix it by reacting hard

and people just aren't complying, so they'll have to start enforcing it

Another thing that's just crossed my mind - how are they going to enforce staying at home with people that don't have homes?

Our PM has announced he wants to avoid deaths at all cost. I do have to wonder what that means, though.

the graph I've seen suggests that Czechia has already peaked daily infections.

as testing increases here in the states, i expect to see more panic

@ShadowWizardisEarForYou pampering: indulge with every attention, comfort, and kindness; spoil

Yep, Pampers are great... but my kids are way too big for them ;)

@ShadowWizardisEarForYou my flight home got cancelled D:

booked another one but... daaaaaaaaaaamn

O.o

@JourneymanGeek damn. Do you have a decent place to stay or do you have to stay at the airport?

@ResistanceIsFutile :P

@Gimby staying with my gran. Managed to book a flight on another airline

if that gets cancelled too... IDK

@JourneymanGeek stuck far away from home? :(

@ShadowWizardisEarForYou more that I have to book a flat on the 19th and get back to work on monday

this is also 'home'

just with one big doggo and 3 little doggos rather than one old awesome doggo

could a moderator grant chat.stackexchange.com/users/451806/user724796 write access to chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/90748/the-k-tree please?

^ @JNat @Catija @g3rv4

done

@ArtOfCode thank you!

Hey I wanna be granted something too

I never got any birthday gifts from you guys. How can you call yourselves friends?!

*conveniently quantified by monetary value

plz-delete blue host meta.stackexchange.com/questions/345211/… @rene @Glor @Sonic @Art

My local city is forcing all restaurants to go takeout-only

@SonictheAnonymousHedgehog Sounds reasonable

so is my entire state

ours isn't

@user400654 Well, you're all confused because the US federeal government missed to state clear guidance what to do now (your Pres failed about it deplorable).

eh, no, they have presented clear guidance

but it's just that, guidance

not all states are taking action

bsides people going crazy over tp and hand sanitizers, it's business as usual

@ShadowWizardisEarForYou it is no more ..

@user400654 It's not just toilet paper and hand sanitizer. My local Costco was also out of frozen blueberries and pancake mix. (And frozen pizza, but that's normal.)

@πάνταῥεῖ I saw a lot of DoorDash drivers in my area, more than usual

people are even stealing tp out of public bathrooms

they've been in the best of times

How y'all doing?

watching a doomsday scenario unfold in real life

@YaakovEllis doing good-ish, you?

@JohnDvorak did people panic this much over Swine flu?

I was too young to be afraid

nope

We're in an era of post-something something socio something something political something.

That sounds profound, so I'm right.

Basically, people know too much about the outside world at any given time now, and exhaust themselves too much over it

TMI 2. It will kill you.

We've just entered the darkest days of the pandemic. Remember the Stark words.

Here's to hoping it'd stop its logarithmic growth over the next two weeks

I thought it already was log-convex for Europe?

Well it's already-er now.

You made me coin a word.

Not that I need helping with that

Well, it was, but there's a difference between 200 new cases a day and 1500

It occurs to me though, that nothing has been carefully tailored to this era of social media, except maybe Zuckerberg and Trump

Organizations that are supposed to educate us about this thing never get close to suppressing all the hearsay out there

You can get more meaningful data by comparing active cases and fatality/recovery over a time period

@rene Voted; needs one more

'sploded

Anti-coronavirus testing is underway.

That's a "phase 1" trial: "does the vaccine kill healthy people?" After that comes "phase 2": "does the vaccine work?"
