>>152 said. Our govt is saying we have free and open testing for everyone but they're barely sending out enough tests so nobody can get tested besides high risk/severe cases. We prolly have all fucking had it already here in the US and don't know it.
Apparently before the first confirmed case in Seattle there was a substantial increase in incoming patients with flu-like symptoms but not everyone was testing for influenza, so what else could it have been? Not that it's really a conspiracy, just that it's most likely been here in US for a few weeks before the first confirmed case.

Personally, I just hope my work shuts down soon enough, too. My state just closed down all dine-in restaurants and we're now limited to grocery stores and drive thru. More will probably follow suit, since Illinois is one of the few states to actually be on the ball here.
No.163
>>154>>155>>158lul, aside from TP for some reason people here have also started mass-buying apples and chicken
I don't even understand why because these aren't exactly things that store very well in the long term
it's kinda weird seeing all these people frenzy buying and just sort of wandering in between them and doing your regular groceries as usual
No.164
>>163Yeah its the same here, I was absolutely baffled when I saw that there was little to no chicken left in the store. Just why? That's so dumb, I dislike this whole mass hysteria.
>it's kinda weird seeing all these people frenzy buying and just sort of wandering in between them and doing your regular groceries as usualYeah people here are speedwalking and glancing around like there's gonna be a drive-by corona attack.

No.267
>>264Eh. That's generally good advice especially for noobs but if you're not afraid of overthinking things it can still help you out even when you're big sad.
Acid doesn't change your mood it just sort of enhances the mood you already have and overstimulates your brain at the same time
If you realize that being sad is not necessarily a bad thing it can still help you be sad in a productive way
