Hand-shakes are now forbidden in Germany so today they decided to revive the old salute.

Actually, that's a nice idea.

Best wishes from the middle of germany.

Chose this morning to buy more S&P, though I doubt we've hit the bottom yet.

Costco toilet paper aisle (friend was just there).  Shower works better anyway.  The world is dumb.  No more bum wiping for you, non-hysterical citizens of Langford.

meanwhile here in mexico we got memes and plenty of toilet paper for sale.. the true # of cases are probably just underreported but the general sentiment is that its not bad here yet. its a 3 day weekend tho and the amount of people traveling around the country and interacting might mix things up a bit.

in the meantime heres some of the best memes

It's being bought and restocked from what I can tell? So it is selling out, they just restock it a few days later.

My personal network with Corona issues keeps growing.

Here's a post from friends of our family that is, for some reason, waiting to contact the news media about their situation...

Quote

After being quarantined on the Grand Princess in Oakland, my friends were transported to Dobbins AF Base in GA for a 2 wk quarantine but the nightmare continues.  This is a post by their daughter..

“The federal government had a week to prepare conditions at two military bases for the passengers on board the Grand Princess ship. My parents arrived at the military base in GA at 2am EST. Conditions are grim--no toilet paper, towels, or soap (after flying in a plane with 250 passengers from the ship who have not been tested). They received an apple and cold breakfast sandwich this morning but no water. They’ve been without their luggage for three days. This is a nightmare.”

If you haven't heard about the Grand Princess cruise ship, it's a national / international news story.

Basically, the US Government, under Trump's leadership, is handling these situations like the Fyre festival.

Man.... @J3FF3R00 brutal.

Went to panic buy essentials at asda earlier today. Bedlam. Wife bought a bunch of candles and hollandaise sauce??? There was a guy shuffling around with an open bottle of white wine, vomit down his trackies and a fresh shit in his pants. Day one of delay phase...

(this might be what shopping in Asda is always like, the ocado site and app have both been down since yesterday)

[dr lopez]

lmao

[zkom]

I got some beer and chips from the supermarket but they're already gone

[pcock]

I spent a hundred quid on tinned vegetables and a gigantic collection of spices from an Asda delivery. Only thing I couldn't get was handwash but il just steal some from work. I've become more introverted as I get older so an excuse to sit and play piano and drink gin by myself for a while without feeling guilty for being a loner actually sounds quite appealing

I didn't buy anything.  But I finally tried out this Oberheim Matrix 6 synth that was given to me months ago.  Hot damn that's a cool a synth.  Idiots be hoarding all the toilet paper when really they should have been stocking up on Oberheims.  I've won this epidemic.

[ghsotword]

Earlier today in Tesco I saw some moron putting his finger in his mouth and then browsing through food items on the shelf with the moistened finger

I wrote an entry in my diary on the way to Tesco.  Simply said... bugger.

a bit of an under-appreciated synth imo, prob just bc of the form factor.

Yeah, I really regret selling mine. Had the 6R.
