After only one week of homeschooling, I'm already driving myself insane. Why do people choose to do this to themselves for longer periods of time? :blink:

I feel for you, Jen. Having to expose yourself to the possibility of catching the virus from your job’s exposure. Are you going to be sent to do remote duties at any point?

Luckily I’ve been told I don’t have to escort people off the parks myself. I’ve been going to parks further away from the North East some days because of all this but I don’t really have to interact with anyone while doing this. I’m just real happy I don’t work for the city anymore or I’d be at home going stir crazy.

Same thing here, but in this case, there appears to be no store near me thst stocks the bloody things - let alone price.

Is it petty that I, a lazy homebody, have been making a point to go out a lot lately just to spite the government telling me to stay home? Yeah.

Do I care? Not even a little.

the thing with zoonotic pathogens is that your immune system has no defense against them, so even if you're not in a high-risk group (old, with an underlying condition), you're liable to catch it and spread it to others asymptomatically

don't do it
there are other ways to have fun without you getting this virus or others getting this virus
please educate yourself

Being fun at parties means taking a shit in the middle of the floor and flinging it at the party goers while calling them shit lads if they don't laugh.

Have you considered that maybe you're the problem.

insensitive jokerie is not quite the same as becoming a vector for a dangerous pathogen and infecting others or getting sick yourself

this is not the time for "if i get corona, i get corona"
there's a time for goofing off, and i understand the desire
but this is not the best time for that, ok?

I mean I wasn't trying for edgy. More Dangerfield. About the time I hit the "Bored stiff" joke, obscenities started flying and mom gave me the "Sit down and don't speak again till we're home" glare.

Ooh, that one still haunts my nightmares sometimes. Great uncle Owlen never did forgive me, either. Went to his grave being mad at me...
