Markets up 9% today. That’s progress towards people feeling better about this situation.
Hopefully, if the markets keep going up and they can slow down the spread, people will start wondering what are they doing with all this TP and hand sanitizer.
Quoted from Atari_Daze:I always feel like I'm watching Fast Times at Ridgemont High
"Now three, act like wherever you are, that’s the place to be. “Isn’t this great?”
Lmao I’ve made that comparison many times. Damone for president!
“Hey, look at this virus response. Isn’t it great? Tremendous. Some countries, not so much. But here it’s just been amazing, frankly. Really
Fantastic.”

“No shirts, No shoes...No Dice!”
Quoted from CrazyLevi:Isn’t America sick of this used car salesman schtick by now? It’s like living in an infomercial.
Everything is wonderful, big, fantastic, tremendous, tremendous, tremendous , amazing, frankly.
Enough already! My lord.
I'm still waiting for the health insurance that was going to be "great".

"they" already have the "great" health insurance

great bill to you is the GOP plan Surprise that guy was out of network that will be $5K for that.
Quoted from LukyDuck:I would much rather have Spicoli in charge!
I don’t know. Damone can get us Earth Wind and Fire tickets.
What’s spicoli’s platform?
Quoted from CrazyLevi:What’s spicoli’s platform?
A cool buzz and some tasty waves for all!

And the mighty VH for your birthday!
Quoted from vex:You cant intimidate, ridicule, insult , lie, minimize or fire the corona virus away.
Self flagellation doesn’t work either. But goddamn, some are giving it their best shot!

Brad: Why don't you get a job Spicoli?
Spicoli: What for?
Brad: You need money.
Spicoli: All I need are some tasty waves, a cool buzz, and I'm fine.
He is not interested in selling out the American People to the corporations.
And Eightball88 beat me to my post.

It’s very punk rock. Like a Circle Jerks concert.

Sorry lukyduck. I upvoted you as compensation After all, you actually got the quote right...
Quoted from NY2Colorado:Raise your hand if this virus has hit home and affected your life, yet........
Not in a sick way, but daughters pre school is cancelled and my Mom is hiding out in Florida. I've been getting drunk and actually fixing the 900 little problems my machines have been growing for a long time.
Another case popped up near me so we got enough food and shit to stay in the house for awhile. I'll still have to go to work most of the week though.

They just canceled school here until at least April 5th.
Quoted from NY2Colorado:Raise your hand if this virus has hit home and affected your life, yet........
Everybody with a tpf ticket is raising their hands.
Everybody who had to figure out what to do with their kids since school is out? Raising their hands.
I think you’d be hard-pressed to find someone whose routine or behavior hasn’t been altered in any way by this.
Hilton maybe.
Quoted from Wickerman2:Colorado: 72 positive, Eight people are hospitalized due to the coronavirus, three of them are in critical condition
Dude, what was up with that Post Malone concert last night? 
I have a prediction to make...in 9-12 months there will be a small baby boom from all the quarantined couples. 
Quoted from TheFamilyArcade:Dude, what was up with that Post Malone concert last night?
Well, this is the mentality:
“You can’t have the coronavirus destroy your whole life. Go out, have fun. Live every day like it’s your last," she said.
SO, to review, live, die, whatev’s
Quoted from Jaybird815:My recent purchase of a bidet is looking like a great investment.
Ditto

You're obsessed with this. You should take a break for a day or two and enjoy life for real.
My friend was quarantined by the Board of Health. His quarantine ended today, but he is staying home for another week. All due to an infected individual who did not quarantine. School system is shut down for two weeks. Everyone in my neighborhood is helping out. There definitely is a strong sense of community to the point where some families are providing breakfast and lunch to other families that are on school assistance - no questions asked. We have everyone from the office working remote from home. Let’s see what the next week brings. The messaging today made me much more optimistic vs. the messaging on Wednesday.
Quoted from adborto:The messaging today made me much more optimistic vs. the messaging on Wednesday.
They declared a state of emergency today and that made you optimistic? Lmao 
I’m gutted
Booked a 2 week holiday to Florida, staying in a villa and tickets to Disneyland.. Due to leave 1st April..
No Disney shut - loose $600 on tickets (80% refund)
And unless Borris declares lock down I’m going to loose $7000 on flights, accommodation...
What makes it worse is my 6yr olds first time to Disneyland... he was really looking forward to it 
Quoted from Who-Dey:They declared a state of emergency today and that made you optimistic? Lmao
Wait until tomorrow evening when they announce grocery stores such as Publix and Walmart are closing at 8 PM and staying down for sometime.
Let's see how optimistic everyone is when that happens.
Honestly if you're able, just stock up, stay put and bang out 2 weeks of spring cleaning while not risking your lung scarring or killing of elders.

In before the lock (or cancellation of the season). With the inevitable shut down of High School Spring sports, our coach decided to have an impromptu scrimmage this afternoon. Only senior parents were notified to attend. We made the best of a horrible situation and got to see our kids play one last game.

I wish that I could stay in but I gotta work unfortunately.

I can see many stores opening later and closing earlier. Most stores don't get their bulk delivery until later in the evenings. But I guess it all depends on the supplier. With more product coming in they will need more time to stock.
Today our stores were packed wall to wall with people. No room to work restocking shelves.
And yeah, there is no room to breath either. Poor ventilation, crowded and everyone is breathing in each others air. Yup, this how my days will be for a while.
Quoted from Who-Dey:You're obsessed with this.
Not really. Just providing info. I am forced to home school the kids because of this hoax. Nothing better to do! You might want a breather to go grab a case of TP no?
I guess you can call it what you want though. Colorado state of emergency, Denver state of emergency, schools closed, wife has had fever for 3 days but we can’t get in anywhere to check it out so we’re in a half assed quarantine until we see if we all get sick...so I guess I’m heavily concerned? Severely interested? Just want to keep on top of things.

When was your children’s school closed down?
Quoted from Mike_J:When was your children’s school closed down?
Elementary kid home for 2 days, middle school home today...and now on for the “3 weeks” that everything seems to think is a magic number
Quoted from Who-Dey:They declared a state of emergency today and that made you optimistic? Lmao
Seeing businesses and governments taking this seriously finally makes me a little more optimistic about our handling of things.
Quoted from Wickerman2:Elementary kid home for 2 days, middle school home today...and now on for the “3 weeks” that everything seems to think is a magic number
Supposedly, our schools will reopen on 3/30.
Quoted from Wickerman2:Elementary kid home for 2 days, middle school home today...and now on for the “3 weeks” that everything seems to think is a magic number
It will take longer then that with all the people that are in denial.
Schools are closed but all the kids are out having meetups at the malls, bowling alley and other places. We just just had 3 people confirmed positive in the next county over and seems like most the people don't care.
Quoted from arcademojo:denial
Yeah, really need everyone on board to make it work semi quickly.
We are on our own. That’s what I get from this week. I’ve watched all the pandemic movies, now it finally has a real world use.
Quoted from LateCenturyMods:Already happening here in Houston, starting tonight. The employees need some breathing room.
Absolutely. If anybody is getting lost in the shuffle of this it's retail workers.
You couldn't pay me $1000 an hour to do that job right now. Mixing with huge crowds of the general public all day along with a big workforce during a pandemic...The health and safety issues are outrageous. They are, right now, among the early heroes of this debacle.

Making damn near minimum wage with no benefits.

I'm out sick at the moment and dreading going back to work. I do more administrative work, but pitch in with store work in small doses. I think I'm going to walk into a nightmare and doing a lot more stocking/customer service to keep things moving.
