Whoa. When he zooms in those pixels… I wonder if the names are generated, or if that’s actual data they pull in from somewhere.

I believe we’re targeting an Ro below 1 here to end the lockdown?

Just me or anyone actually having challenges based on COVID or the lockdown?

Mentally, phyisically and emotionally I am finding this draining and exhausting.

My wife is starting to mention that she’s feeling it now being trapped in the house this long. Funny enough i still feel OK. Don’t know if that’s just my inner gamer :smile:

The first few weeks I was ok, now it is stating to get to me. More the people I am with than the situation at the moment.

But I am getting to that I am bored phase, I am struggling to focus on things. And trying to game when you get interupted non stop is just not fun

Its been okay. Its given me more time to focus on studying.

My boss doesn’t seem capable of working remote since he is the most uncommunicative one.

Doing okay here, working from home which isn’t that unusual. We found out yesterday that my girlfriend won’t be getting her salary this month though which is going to be a problem.

It is very interesting how the habits we have always had as a family (not going out a lot, not drinking/smoking) are now re-inforced due to this. On the other hand, the negative impact is heavily felt by the industries that do offer these things, especially restaurants, movie houses etc.

What if people see how much money they can save by staying home, cooking for themselves and then keep those habits? It will be massively detrimental to the entertainment industry. But then again, maybe people will be so starved for human interaction at the end of this that they will go overboard.

What is clear is that at the end of the day, this lockdown is only delaying the inevitable. We are going to have a huge internal spike of cases coming up. No amount of lockdown is going to help.

I have a feeling (totally my opinion) that in retrospect, the lockdown strategies employed world wide were too much, should have been more rational and not so panicky. Many economies are not going to recover from this. The death toll on the poor are going to be a lot higher purely because of the economy collapsing than the virus itself.

Will have to wait and see how it all plays out and hope me and mine do not come out worse for it. Not much else to hope for.

What if this was all just orchestrated by the US to place further trade bans on China, getting the world to side with Trump in his war against the East as it affected the whole world socially and economically?

Just saying…

This shit makes my blood boil. Goddam motherfucking racist bullshit. And when my wife closes her business and adds her 3 (black) staff and our housekeeper to the growing unemployment list, she’ll still be the ‘evil white madam’. Fucking idiots.
