I still have a case of Corona in the office.
I keep forgetting to bring it home.
Shops are open and well stocked. I've 2-weeks forth of frozen food set aside and have just been keeping fresh stuff every couple of days to avoid breaking the reserves. Worst comes to worst, most places near here still deliver. And the off-licenses are still going.
Fuel is down to 1.27 a litre. Ludicrously low. Too bad I've nowhere to go and burn it.
Work is rumbling on - between getting ready for when things come back, finishing off things that've been started and otherwise keeping the adpidistra flying.
Ireland, thus far, continues to do reasonably well. Testing dropped off because someone bought up the re-agents needed, but Biopharma is a national industry and the precursor chemicals are out there so we can make our own. Most clusters are down to 2-3 individuals where the virus gets into a household and contacts have gone down from 20 to 3 - which simplifies a lot.
Most fatalities are in nursing homes where it's gotten itself rampant.
The virus may be more prevalant in society than thought - a quarter of known cases are health workers - but very few of them got it from known cases in the hospital. Most were infected beforehand from god-knows-where . Of the 4000 cases - 1000 have needed hospitalisation, 120 have needed ICU, and 120 further have ended in a fatality. Most of these are nursing home residents who don't make it to hospital.
My parents got it. They got it after they isolated themselves. And yesterday I found out they got it by going for a meal with someone they thought had the disease - not who got it after they were there. I've got no words for that. They're doing well now. The mam lost her taste - the oulfella got the cough too and was fairly sick but hasn't gotten worse.

I love the smell of rotaries in the morning. You know one time, I got to work early, before the rush hour. I walked through the empty carpark, I didn't see one bloody Prius or Golf. And that smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole carpark, smelled like.... ....speed.
One day they're going to ban them.
