One day I some how got my leg and the sound of the string didn't sound so great. String popped me about 8 times before I could react. Lets just say it hurt.

I haven't been doing anything besides a couple stops at stores. Got bulk supplies to last for 2 weeks. Goal is to not leave the house except for work Thursday and Friday each week. Got a lot of books to read along with Firestick and Netflix. I should have got myself a volleyball (Wilson) cause I'm gonna basically have zero human contact until at least the weekend following this one.

You are doing the right thing. The way I try to explain this to coworkers and fam/friends...if you are lucky enough to work from home then return that karma by playing by the rules, limit contact/trips to the store...social distance etc.

Everyone has to be patient...and I think a lot of folks have started to get into the routine of hunkering down, so if we can make it another month doing the right thing...imo by June 15 we should be over most of this.

June 15th is way too soon, IMO. The country is probably going to stay shut down for at least several more months. I do think though by late fall but before Christmas, you will see things start to ease some. Restaurants may be allowed to do dine-in again, but it might be only at 25% capacity. Like Fauci said, until there is a vaccine, things will probably not be "normal" ever again until they get the vaccine out.

I think the treatment for the Viagra issue "if you have an erection lasting more than 4 hours see a doctor"...I think when you show up to the hospital they just give you this pillow to curl up with for an hour and it goes away.

An hour? It might just fall off. 1 close up look should do the trick.

So I get an email that I need to pay the balance for the two condos I booked months back for our golf trip. I called them a few weeks back and asked about a refund and said I would hold off a for a little longer as our trip is from May 12 to 17. When I got the reminder I figured I just need to cancel as I don't see it happening. Called all three numbers and all were disconnected. Might be the first business I know of to close up shop for good.

So they took your down payment?

I gave them the deposit of $275 x 2 units back in December. So I did get an email reply and they gave me a new number to call. The guy says to give it until April 30th to see what happens. Problem is I have filed the dispute with my credit card company and if I pull the dispute it will be considered as resolved. So now I'm stuck with believing the guy or letting the dispute run its course. I will add we have been renting from this same co for 18 years.

There will probably be thousands of businesses close for good. I'm in a small town, and we are already beginning to see some places close up for good. Small places mainly. I imagine as the shutdown continues, it will get worse and worse across the USA. Places like KOHLs say they only have enough cash to operate through the end of the month. We may see a totally different retail landscape by December, whatever is left standing. Won't be much.

Interesting article about the beefed up unemployment benefits. A lot of people making more by not working:

Tough situation because people legit need help. But also don't want people quitting their jobs because they get more not working. Posting here because its not party centric. Just an overall article about the benefits.

Typically you need to be laid off to receive unemployment but I read that in the stimulus package, if you certify you had to quit bc of the coronavirus (stay home and take care of kid, etc) ... you qualify.

Not sure I'm buying this but I did get hit hard by the flu in December. First time visiting urgent care in many years.
