My wife works in logistics in a major company, and apparently she just heard that, since last year, DHL can unilaterally decides to deliver YOUR package to someone else, or leave it whenever they want (your garage, in front of your porch etc).
They are supposed to tell you who got it / where it is, but the driver can basically do what he wants whenever it's at the supposedly delivery place.
Of course, apparently the supposedly recipient has no recourse of complaining.

I work in a large hospital in the Northeast that is in full COVID mode, and while I am thankful to be in a field where job security isn't an issue at this time, it does come with its own set of problems. One of those problems is the anxiety. My wife is pregnant with our first child, is due in early June, and is freaking out everyday about literally everything. While I am in soothe-mode with her 24/7, on the inside I'm shitting myself worrying about everything too. I'm especially worried that I'm going to be the vector that brings COVID-19 to her and our unborn child, since I'm at risk of picking it up at work. We've even had a talk about who I would choose if she gets infected, is one of the unlucky ones where everything goes south, and it comes down to choosing between her or the baby. That's a tough conversation to have when it's not entirely hypothetical. And unfortunately, nobody knows what the risk is to pregnant patients and the babies they carry. There are viruses that can be devastating to a developing central nervous system, and only time will tell what COVID-19 can do.
And the real cherry on top is there's a damn good chance I won't be able to be in the room when she gives birth because a lot of hospitals have stopped allowing anyone - including expectant fathers - into the rooms when women are in labor. Experiencing that moment with my wife and newborn son has been a foregone conclusion from the beginning, so the sudden new reality that I might be denied the experience takes my breath away when I think about it. Sure, June seems a long ways away, but when you've seen how easily this virus spreads, and the damage it can do, June doesn't seem that far off at all.
Thanks for listening to me vent, and I apologize if these problems sound petty compared to the economic and health hardships people are experiencing. My heart goes out to everyone that's being raked over the coals by COVID-19. I try to keep my freaking out bottled up so as not to make my wife's life any harder, and I know she'll never read anything I write here since she couldn't care less about Stephen King or my book collection, so it's nice to be able to blow of some steam here.

Depression is hitting me pretty hard as of yesterday, my mind/thoughts/feelings have been going insane lately, we've all been so strongly focused on ourselves, myself included, that we/me have forgotten the not so fortunate.
Most of us (from our homes) have the privilege to prop ourselves in front of some type of media device to share our fear w/Covid-19.
Most likely hundreds of millions probably do not.
I cannot comprehend the number of deaths when the dust has finally settled, I fear worldwide it will measure in the multi-millions.
Just the staggering amount of refugees & homeless on this planet is insane, all with no shelter for safe distancing or the access to clean water or let alone "Healthcare".
(Quick internet stat - don't know how accurate "100 million people are homeless worldwide. As many as 1.6 billion people lack adequate housing")
Just some words I'm plopping down so I can get a realistic grip on how "Not fucked up my life is", not when we consider the mountains of bodies we're already piling up and whats to come.
I promise not to whine and cry no matter how bad this gets for me and please Please DT.org family, put me in line if I do.
I'm asking everybody not to respond with concerns/hopes/feelings about me one way or the other, because this really is not about me... but I do encourage constructive dialogue.

Everybody needs a vent and I often have friends who call just for 10 mins yo get it all out, its good for the soul..
I know it probably doesn't help but 3 new born babies in the UK had it and have gone on to make full recovery.
We dont know about long time effects but when do we ever, you cannot let that stand in the way of the most beautiful experience in life...
I wish you all the best my friend.
On a lighter note... this pandemic is the greatest publicity for King's forthcoming "The Stand" TV series the studio could possibly hope for.
Happy birthday Lucy Lawless!!!
I'm sure if there is intelligent life somewhere out there in the universe, they are wise enough to stay away from us.

I tell ya, Steve as Darkseer says she's an under rated geek queen and for some reason always reminds me of "The" Catwoman, Julie Newmar!! Talk about a Hot lady!!! I actually met her in Ft. Worth, Tx when I was attending TCU. I was working in a popular sandwich shop (our specialty was a fried oyster hoagie as they refer to a hero sandwich in Tx) and she just walks in and orders lunch. Think my tongue dropped to the floor cause she was drop dead gorgeous and TALL. Being 6'9" myself I can really appreciate a tall woman and not only was she beautiful she had to be 6'3" tall with legs that didn't stop as they say!!!! Man, I've had constant wood ever since that day!!! LOL LOL
Here's an old pic I found, but it really doesn't do her justice. And anyway you just had to see this woman in person. MEOW!!!! lol lol

That's Lucy Lawless's sister, Julie Newmar.
And yes, I have many costume and relic cards from Xena, which supposedly touched her glorious skin, although I can't prove it until she answers one of my many dinner invitations.

Yes, Julie Newmar was my favorite "Catwoman" on the Batman series or any of the Batman movies.

Darn it, I don't know the correct way to insert a video clip, because I hardly ever do it!

Actually I doubt it. I think it will have the opposite effect, it will hit too close to home for people, so people may avoid it. After 9/11 the series premier of "24" was delayed so they could edit the pilot episode because it was too close to home. Also the movie poster (and maybe the trailers too) for Spider Man were edited to remove the images of the world trade center.
When is that scheduled to air? I have to imagine it will be delayed.

It was supposed to be in Fall. But I am guessing the shooting got cancelled and so is probably the post-prod
I'd say it's likely to be postponed to 2021
