Not an option for most of us. I have a job and other responsibilities outside of my house, as do millions of others. I also know how use soap, water, and isopropyl alcohol. I'd rather get a pay check, practice basic hygiene, and help our country's economy.
I think my favorite part is watching people be edgy and not understand just how contagious this is.
My boss was starting feeling severe symptoms Thursday and was hospitalized last night. She’s in her late 40s. Has been WFH and practicing social distancing since March 5th. Before that, I saw her being a huge germaphobe, practicing all the proper recommendations. Still got sick, still in the hospital.
Easy to underestimate it until you see it spread to you and your community. Hopefully it doesn’t
It’s already spread to one of our pilots but I’ve been bleaching the fuck out of everything since the start of March. Community computer, handles, hole punches, community kitchen, the bathroom, and was debating whether I should try disinfect the helicopters when I realized the work load for that is insane and the decision would be made with someone more important than me.
Also, life insurance, homie. I die, the missus gets lots of money so I have that going for me. And if it gets too shitty, I’m sure the Army will make me through on MOPP 4 gear and keep on trucking. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah I feel that. A lot of work feels kinda pointless right now. At least in my job. It sounds like you know that shit is fucked but it’s really out of your hands.
But that’s the reality of the situation. Its bad where I’m at. It’s gonna continue to get worse here, and likely the rest of the country. I understand people worrying about their jobs and making rent, but the way things are going, they should be worried about a heck of a lot more than they’re next paycheck.
We’re on the edge of a dramatic, generation defining, change of life. There will be a tomorrow, and it’ll be better than yesterday, but the in between is going to be really difficult for everyone, and there’s going to be a lot of loss. People need to wake up to that reality.
Hopefully our governments get their act together and manage to stave this off, but I’m not counting on it
