Gin & lemonade my friend but give it another 3 weeks in lockdown & I’ll probably be semi insane, writing bible verses on the walls with my own excrement.

[fillippone]

...carnitas...

This is also called pulled pork, isn’t it?

Close but no cigar.

That's like calling risotto Minute Rice.

Blasphemy!
Sorry for that!

Had to do my infamous pulled pork.




Actually 13 pounds of it.
I will eat pulled pork until end of quarantine.

EDIT: One full tally mark missing from the paper... it has been 49 days.

You might go the other way and descend into a world of rainbows, Sylvanian families and care bears and live happily ever after in a bubble of self induced joy.

Here are the official Coronavirus guidelines:

1. Basically, you can't leave the house for any reason, but if you have to, then you can.

2. Masks are useless, but maybe you have to wear one, it can save you, it is useless, but maybe it is mandatory as well.

3. Stores are closed, except those that are open.

4. You should not go to hospitals unless you have to go there. Same applies to doctors, you should only go there in case of emergency, provided you are not too sick.

5. This virus is deadly but still not too scary, except that sometimes it actually leads to a global disaster.

6. Gloves won't help, but they can still help.

7. Everyone needs to stay HOME, but it's important to GO OUT.

8. There is no shortage of groceries in the supermarket, but there are many things missing when you go there in the evening, but not in the morning. Sometimes.

9. The virus has no effect on children except those it affects.

10. Animals are not affected, but there is still a cat that tested positive in Belgium in February when no one had been tested, plus a few tigers here and there…

11. You will have many symptoms when you are sick, but you can also get sick without symptoms, have symptoms without being sick, or be contagious without having symptoms. Oh, my..

12. In order not to get sick, you have to eat well and exercise, but eat whatever you have on hand and it's better not to go out, well, but no…

13. It's better to get some fresh air, but you get looked at very wrong when you get some fresh air, and most importantly, you don't go to parks or walk. But don’t sit down, except that you can do that now if you are old, but not for too long or if you are pregnant (but not too old).

14. You can't go to retirement homes, but you have to take care of the elderly and bring food and medication.

15. If you are sick, you can't go out, but you can go to the pharmacy.

16. You can get restaurant food delivered to the house, which may have been prepared by people who didn't wear masks or gloves. But you have to have your groceries decontaminated outside for 3 hours. Pizza too?

17. Every disturbing article or disturbing interview starts with "I don't want to trigger panic, but…"

18. You can't see your older mother or grandmother, but you can take a taxi and meet an older taxi driver.

19. You can walk around with a friend but not with your family if they don't live under the same roof.

20. You are safe if you maintain the appropriate social distance, but you can’t go out with friends or strangers at the safe social distance.

21. The virus remains active on different surfaces for two hours, no, four, no, six, no, we didn't say hours, maybe days? But it takes a damp environment. Oh no, not necessarily.

22. The virus stays in the air - well no, or yes, maybe, especially in a closed room, in one hour a sick person can infect ten, so if it falls, all our children were already infected at school before it was closed. But remember, if you stay at the recommended social distance, however in certain circumstances you should maintain a greater distance, which, studies show, the virus can travel further, maybe.

23. We count the number of deaths but we don't know how many people are infected as we have only tested so far those who were "almost dead" to find out if that's what they will die of…

24. We have no treatment, except that there may be one that apparently is not dangerous unless you take too much (which is the case with all medications).

25. We should stay locked up until the virus disappears, but it will only disappear if we achieve collective immunity, so when it circulates… but we must no longer be locked up for that?

Wow, thats a near-maddening amount of time... have they given you a date when your lockdown is supposed to end?

26. trust your government and experts, everything that contradicts the above list must be fake news.

Eh JJG

No time-killing ideas from my side in the quarantine . i am working...   

Oh?  You are not in the same situation as me....? I thought that we would be the same... feels funny speaking like this.

But, seriously, are you in a job that has a lot of physical interaction with other people or are you able to work in mostly physical separation.

In my current local community, there are some businesses that are still open, and they mostly seem to involve at least some social distancing.  There have NOT been too many cases in my area, so far, except for one of my neighbors.. hahahahahaha.. but that was several weeks ago.

Working from home so i am covered in this regard. Business are shut down here as well except essential services, the place i am living in right now 80% are elderly people and 20% are expats/students. Elderly seems more vulnerable so we got request from our building manager that "plz take care of your elderly neighbors". So once a while had to run for supplies or medicines, taking all precautions of course.

I am surely looking forward to being able to travel, so I don't have to experience other locations through others rather than personally being able to experience other locations.

This year sucks for me as far as travelling is concern, not going into details but took some bad calls and reaping the shitty results.

"Suddenly the Swedish curve looks the best — and flattening out rapidly.
The truth is, the Swedish epidemic is far from the out of control disaster its critics would like to believe. Yesterday, there were 12 deaths from Covid-19; the previous day there were 17; the day before that there were 77 and the day before that there were 106. We could expect levels to catch up after this Easter weekend, but it can hardly be described as exponential growth."

Sweden had 111 dead today. Denmark had ten. Total deaths more than 4 times as high. Sweden has twice the population so death rate is more than 2 times as high. However,

The only way forward is immunity, either from vaccination or heard immunity, All those countries in lockdown right now have to let their citizens out on the street at some point, and when that happens people will start getting sick again. In the end the number of deaths per million will probably be pretty much the same in most countries.
Unless you keep your population in lockdown until a vaccin is ready of course, but by then that countrys economy will be dead.

The harder the lockdown the longer it will take until the entire country has been through the process. Ideally it should be spreading enough that the medical system can handle it, but not so low that we have wasted capacity. The longer it takes the higher chance the virus will mutate and stick around even longer. Denmark is opening up again in a few days. In 3 weeks we will know more.

I think the biggest problem is getting people to accept the idea that people are going to die. We are not used to that and it is making it more difficult than it had to be.

"Seasonal flu kills 291000 to 646000 people worldwide each year"


If we treated Covid-19 like we treat the flu, we'd have millions dead each year.

We still will. If it kills even 1% and it actually does spread 3 times as fast as the regular flu, that's 78 million dead right there.

Don't think I have forgotten, Ibian. I'm still waiting on your wonderful prediction of "millions of people to die" from Covid-19 to come true. Are we still on track for "millions and millions dead"?

Or is it, better luck next year?

We Don't Know. That's the problem. If we did there would be no debate and no expectation of future smugness.

We are still getting 100k (known) cases every day. Most people who catch it are not symptomatic. For all we know there could be hundreds of millions of cases already.

But the real issue is not what is happening now. The economy has to start up again. That's the numbers that matter, how fast does infection and death spread when we have a working economy?

And that's not even the real problem. If it kills, just to throw a number out there, a tenth of the global population and then goes away, that's not a problem. We can glass china and call it a day and life will go back to normal.

The real problem is what if it doesn't go away? Rumor has it that reinfections are worse. And if that's true and it keeps reoccurring, we could be looking at a permanent weakening of the global population, possibly forever.

We need a cure.
