katt_goddess Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Currently yes, my store is still open. We're watching the situation but going through business as usual for at least a sense of normalecy. But reworking next week's schedule with all the cuts to peoples' hours was brutal and horrible. Everyone there needs a paycheck. Hopefully that's the only week we have to do this sort of massive gutting. Unless the entire state says shut it down for x amount of time. That will be a whole different set of forms to deal with. -.-; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilosipherStoned Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 (edited) I should sleep to stave off a few typos.. zzz./ Wake me up when the Covidocalypse is over or what evs. Figures.. It's just my luck an epidemic would try to shut off the outside world right when a classy chick decides to hit me up. City officials just declared a pre-emptive state of emergency here...The statement I read just said no public gatherings of more than 10 people will be authorized, and public eating facilities .. fuck this... It's a wall of of text..The whole statement anyway. • The use of the public eating and drinking areas and facilities at restaurants, bars retail eating establishments and food courts and visiting gyms or massage parlors is prohibited; provided, however, that the use of drive-thru, pickup or delivery services of restaurants, retail eating establishments and food courts food courts is permitted and highly encouraged during the term of this Declaration. Do we even have food courts.. Define food courts.. Other than a Mcdonalds in a walmart I can't think of anything tlike that around here..

PhilosipherStoned Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 (edited) Fuck it I was going to try to be vague with my location, but meh.. In light of the situations posed by COVID-19 in Texas and across the United States, Mayor Wendell Dunlap and Hale County Judge David Mull issued emergency declarations for the City of Plainview and the County of Hale, respectively. Pursuant to §418.108(a) of the Texas Government Code A, a mayor or county judge can declare a local state of disaster and public health emergency. Highlights of the Declaration: • Limits the size of all social gatherings to no more than ten (10) people and mandates the cancellation of all such social gatherings with more than ten (10) people. • The use of the public eating and drinking areas and facilities at restaurants, bars retail eating establishments and food courts and visiting gyms or massage parlors is prohibited; provided, however, that the use of drive-thru, pickup or delivery services of restaurants, retail eating establishments and food courts food courts is permitted and highly encouraged during the term of this Declaration. • the limitation on the size of social gatherings applies to any event that brings together, or is likely to bring together, ten (10) or more persons at the same time in a single room or other single confined or enclosed space, such as, and without limitation, any auditorium, theatre, stadium (indoor or outdoor), arena or event center, meeting hall, Plainview Civic Center, conference center, cafeteria, or any other confined indoor or outdoor space; provided, however, it does NOT apply to the following: (a) public or private schools; (b) licensed day care facilities (c) weddings and funerals; (d) museums (so long as visitors are generally not within arm's length of one another for extended periods); (e) spaces where 10 or more persons may be in transit or waiting for transit, such as bus stops; (f) office space, hotels, or residential buildings; (g) grocery stores, shopping malls, outdoor markets, or other retail establishments where large numbers of people are present but where it is unusual for them to be within arm's length of one another for extended periods; (h) hospitals, medical facilities, and shelters; and (i) jails and detention centers. • The limitation on the size of social gatherings does not apply to places of worship but all such places of worship are highly encouraged to voluntarily comply with the limitations provided in this Declaration. These declarations also put into action the city’s emergency management plan and opens the possibility of reimbursement by the federal and state governments. “The City is taking steps to ensure the safety and well-being of our citizens,” said Mayor Wendell Dunlap. “We are grateful for our partnership with the County and their commitment to safety as well. We appreciate citizens patience as we navigate this ever-changing situation.” “This declaration is necessary to activate our response system, it is not a cause for panic,” said Hale County Judge David Mull. “We are working with all local entities to ensure we doing everything we can to ensure the health of our community.” Edited March 20, 2020 by PhilosipherStoned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilosipherStoned Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 So... idk. I think after recent covid escalations she's understandably redacted her eagerness to get together. I've been to tired to think of a counter plan the best option for us to hang out is probably at one of our houses.. Maybe mine. I don't even know her living situation yet I havent asked. Major cleaning to do before I'd ever let that happen though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilosipherStoned Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 (edited) Meh. It's... best to be prepared for a real test anyway.. I've followed this virus from the get go. The major problem is early detection is...fucking hard due to minimal early symptoms, and the fact that the incubation, and early phases of the viruses.. shit or whatever.. You know what I'm trying to say too trired to be all scientific.. EARLY SYMPTOMS ARE HARD TO DETECT. A lot of Covid-19 positive patients reported experiencing no symptoms at all until the virus took over their respiratory system (lungs etc) looking at the virus from a global perspective.. IE ... "I CAN'T BREAF.. OMG I'M GOING TO DIE CALL A DOCTOR" Silver Linings are vaccines are being tested... Not sure on those details, and also.. As long as you make it to medical care before breathing becomes too hard due to the virus pretty much gang banging your respiratory system.. Death is highly unlikely (supposingly)... Late stage patients require respirators, and a watchful eye though.. If that shit's true how did it kill that chinese doctor who knew he was dealing with a sars cousin.. I saw video oand pictures of him with what looked liked a respirator/ respiratory aid equipment..

Gyaos Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 My workplace is shut down, but I get paid.

BlackNoir Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 We're still working, but no longer over state line and there isn't a whole lot going on locally that we are needed on site unless it's an emergency, which keeps us on call. We've mostly been doing real inventory and catching up on some much needed paperwork.....Mostly home. I'm under contract so I'm good until July and I hope this is all over by then. We were bought out by a larger entity back in 2017, so we aren't privy to information like we used to be....Anything can happen I guess, but I refuse to worry about that right now.....Only thing on my mind is keeping the kids healthy, and my son is already getting to the point where he's annoying and keep asking can other kids come over and spend the night since there is no school.....Like he literally is ignoring me every single time I tell him no one is coming over because i don't know what they may have. I mean it's fucked up because this IS their Spring break, but he's gonna have to suck it up. My daughter is largely reclusive like me, so other than me being concerned that she's running out of shit to watch and she doesn't get to do book club or art classes currently. she seems fine.

Get him a cheap pothos plant aka devil's ivy from the grocery store floral department and follow a tutorial to take some cuttings from it and get that thing growing in your tank. Something cool to watch grow roots while he's home from school the next however many months and the betta will love it. Maybe snag some cheap fish from the pet store if they're not closed yet.
