Coronavirus Sars-CoV-2/Covid-19 Megathread

[Razgovory]

My little sister got it.  She's a bit on the dumb side and hasn't taken this seriously at all.

Raz, hope it's not serious.

Did she not take it serously because she's a bit slow or has seeing the wrong sort of media also help to make her careless about the risk?

I don't know.  Like my brother she has moved very far away from where I live.  I don't know why she didn't take it seriously, but I do know that she was off visiting friends and the like well after the stay at home order was given.  If my brother's illness is any indication she will likely be incapacitated for a week and may take months to fully recuperate.  The biggest problem is that she has a nine year old daughter...

So she's use to functioning while being sick?

My Turkish neighbor a couple doors down had like 4 of his Turkish buddies over last night.  They were out on his deck late in the evening speaking Turkish & stuff.  My wife thought they were arguing but it I think that's just how they normally speak.

My neighbor's had a party Monday night that went until 2am. They spent the evening - about a dozen of them - going in and out of the apartment and onto their deck, which is about 30 feet from my bedroom window. In the meantime, a bunch of their kids were playing basketball on the tarmac right under my window, allowing the ball to regularly bounce off the chainlink fence.

I wasn't best pleased that they were a) having a party, b) playing ball right under my window, and c) yelling and shouting until all hours of the night. Needless to say, I got little sleep and dislike my white trash neighbors even more than I used to.

I dread the day we end up with shitty neighbours again, current situation is quite alright. I lived most of my life in a rural setting, my nerves can hardly take shit like that.

Call the cops. Or do you live in a no shelter at home state?

[Valmy]

You can still call the cops on simply them being noisy.

At the apartment I lived in back when I first started on Languish there was this shitty garage rock band that would play at all hours of the night. I can sleep through anything so I was cool with it but I was amazed nobody ever got them shut down.

For those who don't speak Voltaire: patient seen at Covid clinic. Please deliver.

Patient shows up 2 minutes after the fax. Sweating, coughing, red as a tomato. No mask.

Humanity is incredibly stupid. When you think we've reached the depths, a new bottom opens up.

I threw her out. French accent came out along with my banlieues insults. Might get fired 

[Razgovory]

You know, I never actually wanted my fellow citizens to die as a result of the stupid shit they do, but we had a big protest yesterday.  People protesting the existence of the virus.  They thought it was a hoax.  I want these people to get the virus and I hope many die.  They are a threat to public health.  If they were livestock they would have been diagnosed with mad cow disease and culled.


This is fucking serious.  People are dying.  The death rate in the US is the same as the US death rate in the ETO 1944-1945.

I'm not going to call the police on a noise complaint. I won't do it at the best of times because I don't trust that doing so won't end up in a death sentence for some stupid kid.

It's not the best of times, and the police won't come out for a noise complaint right now, anyway. They issued a statement a month ago saying that we basically have to deal with non-emergency things on our own because they're not risking their officers' health in dealing with the public.

Jesus. Did they give her a mask but she took it off? Or did they not bother to give her a mask?

AND WHY NOT CALL IT IN FOR DELIVERY??

Raz, don't fall for the media panic. Yes there is a problem, but it is not so bad.

No I am not scared and neither should you be!
