Australia only has shy of 250 confirmed COVID-19 cases, but we're heading towards almost total social isolating. My clinic where I work is going online as of tomorrow and the university where I lecture will be all online Wednesday. And, is it as hard in the States as it is here in Australia to get bloody toilet paper?? When there's panic - Aussies reach for the toilet roll...

Speaking of which, when self-isolating, it’s important to keep up your fiber intake to stay regular.

Because some things should definitely not stay in.

The french gov has officially announced the lockdown of all activities that are not "required to the nation life" (meaning that food supermarkets / banks / fuel station, and a few other places will stay open, but everything else, restaurants, coffee, etc, willl be closed until further notice).
That definitely feel weirds.. and I guess that people will rush into stores tomorrow morning !

Same here, Antoni. I have two three-hour seminars in the upcoming weeks that I now have to teach ‘online’, either record myself at home (three effing hours!) or do it live, which will probably break down every five minutes.

In Belgium the restaurants and bars had to close indefinitely last friday at midnight. Apparently some people had ‘Corona parties’ that friday, which we’re now getting lectured about in the media.

Hope every one here is well.

Watching the original "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" with two of my grandchildren. Its amazing watching thier reactions to this classic. I think my 5 year old grandson has said " Whoa, that's cool" 10 times already.

Totally better reaction that what I always got from my kids: "You call these special effects?!?"

Life's a musical --

Don't stand so close to me! ♪

It's the end of the world as we know it

Some very eerie lyrics to the first part of "The End" by The Doors

Lyrics
This is the end, beautiful friend
This is the end, my only friend
The end of our elaborate plans
The end of ev'rything that stands
The end
No safety or surprise
The end
I'll never look into your eyes again
Can you picture what will be
So limitless and free
Desperately in need of
some strangers hand
In a desperate land
Lost in a Roman wilderness of pain
And all the children are insane
All the children are insane
Waiting for the summer rain
There's danger on the edge of town
Ride the king's highway
Weird scenes inside the goldmine
Ride the highway West baby....

Then the acid kicks in....

At least 15 days confinement at home in France.
Food shops will be opened but it's encouraged to reduce as much as possible going out for the time being.

What could go wrong?

[Aremag]

Received a mandatory 2 1/2 week vacation due to the current situation. I guess I'll try to up the amount of books read this year.

So now, 7 million people in the greater San Francisco Bay Area are ordered to shelter in place for the next 21 days. No movies, no bars, no pubs, no dine in at restaurants. Stultifying.

[herbertwest]

How are YOU doing after the surgery?
Do you medical help?

I think pooing on the streets is still ok though.

Slowly getting better.

Glad to know!
At worst, if you struggle and shall you need toilet paper, I guess that you probably have some of those "Duddits" books, or some sort of limited / lettered editions

I'll use Lisey's Story.

[webstar1000]

A MESSAGE TO OUR COMMUNITY!!!!!

Wilde Bill. is still alive and well thank you very much. This is mostly a result of avoiding the rest of you diseased motherfuckers running around during the apocalypse. We know the apocalypse is upon us because the bars and movie theaters have all closed and, Tom Brady is not returning to the New England Patriots!!!! Cats are sleeping with dogs and mice are having Mardi Gras'!!!! So during this time of crisis STAY AT HOME and most importantly STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME!!! I intend to enjoy the coming apocalypse at home with family and friends (all tested). It's been a pleasure knowing you all and see ya in the hereafter!!!!

I have finally finished watching GAME OF THRONES.
Loved it from start to finish.
I only have three criticisms:

Spoiler:

1. The phony baloney scraping sound every time a sword or knife is drawn and 2. When Arya Stark uses Lord Walder's face to impersonate him and poison all the men who killed her brother, mother, etc. I could never buy this on MISSION IMPOSSIBLE, and I didn't buy it here. Not only her face, but her hair, body, mannerisms and voice all change? Doesn't work for me, sorry. 3. The continuous mis-pronunciation of the word 'dynasty'.
