You are in NZ or Australia?Been fighting the crowds in grocery stores for a pack of toilet rolls, hand cleanser, and a bag of rice.
Survival Roll, DC 15
That's always a fun way to start the weekend...welcome to 2020!

In my country the information and directions from the RIVM* seem to be quite sensible and unambiguous. We're a small but in parts densely populated country but AFAIK so far only people who are actually sick or displaying symptoms are put into quarantine at home or a hospital.Personally not sure who's right or wrong regarding how to handle it.
I think if we had good testing that would be the reaction here. As it is we have a nursing home at the center of the outbreak and they still haven't tested all the people with symptoms there let alone all the people who have come in contact with known people infected.In my country the information and directions from the RIVM* seem to be quite sensible and unambiguous.

* the RIVM I guess is our equivalent of the CDC
Did our grocery shopping yesterday. The supermarket was almost completely out of toilet paper, flour and rice.Been fighting the crowds in grocery stores for a pack of toilet rolls, hand cleanser, and a bag of rice.

Some would argue that there's not all that much difference, demographically.Brisbane (Queensland, Australia).
Ear infections from my chronic in-ear dermatitis are giving me tinnitus today. At least it's not too sore and it's not affecting my balance.
My day started when I shot up out of bed after hearing my wife say "Jason. Jason, come here. I need help." I ran into the sun room which is next to our bedroom. My wife was hunched over and hobbling. "I think I broke my ankle". She had taken the dog outside to do his morning routine and had taken a bad step off the patio and rolled her ankle and heard a snap. So I drove her to the urgent care place and they took an x-ray and sure enough. The ligament took part of a bone off. So she's in a boot for six weeks! She'll be fine though, don't you worry. On the way to the urgent care place, she took a call for work and casually said "I'm on the way to get x-rays for my ankle. I think I broke it" and carried on with the call. You just never know how a day is going to start.
TIL that membership lists of RPG forums are a good source to crib for names.
Can't remember who it was, but it wasn't Butcher. It was for a map.Had a very, very stressful day in the OR yesterday. Patient is doing fine so far, but fuuuuuuuuck.
Wife also came down with a bad case of sore throat, just as our kid is recovering from a cold himself. So we had to cancel our plans for today as well. Ah well.
Sorry to hear about your health woes. Hope everyone recovers
I demand to know whose names did you crib and for what negarious
Over here we've got the Sun and the Mail, but they're not all that absorbent either.Did our grocery shopping yesterday. The supermarket was almost completely out of toilet paper, flour and rice.
Hmm. Wife's boardgaming magazines are glossy paper. That's less than ideal.
What in the world were you hoping to make with those ingredients?Did our grocery shopping yesterday. The supermarket was almost completely out of toilet paper, flour and rice.

Strength, vibes, and prayers if you'll take them. I'm a bipolar type 2 depressive, and I've fought the long battle with it and keep fighting it. Not an easy battle. But hang on as you can. I know its tough. I get it. Keep going through, ask for help from professionals if you need it. I've had some great people to help (and one utterly shit one) but most are competent and able. Something to remember--we depressive are a HELL of a lot stronger than people give us credit for--or we wouldn't make it nearly as long as we do with our brain chemistry trying to murder us. We're survivors. We fight hard, and its completely legit and cheat in this fight by seeing a professional if needed (because depression cheats and lies, and strikes at us at our vulnerable spots. It's only fair.)Been struggling pretty hard with my Depression for the past week or so. Thinking of taking a trip to Michigan next weekend. Hoping that visiting a different state of the Union will help put me in a better state of mind. Today is a workday, which is good, because it gives me something to focus on.

I finally found an affordable Ensign Chekov doll the same size as the other six!
I've never really liked Mego dolls all that much, although I do have a Captain Marvel:
If I saw it for a couple of bucks I'd buy it.Not a Ponch?

...Hoping I can take care of getting a new City Sticker on my lunch break, before I get another ticket for the same offense...
Did he inappropriately frisk or plant weed on them?If I saw it for a couple of bucks I'd buy it.
I used to have a Ponch doll when I was a kid, but I don't remember if it was a Mego. He used to routinely arrest my sister's Barbies with minimal provocation.
When Punch gropes women, it's consensual and by popular demand.Did he inappropriately frisk or plant weed on them?
Maybe they do things differently where you live, but where I come from we try to avoid contaminated buildings.Got my first corona alert today - somebody (fortunately in the other building) has been exposed to somebody that tested positive. If the building is not satisfactorily contaminated in the morning they will text us and tell us to stay at home.
Due to a series of unfortunate events, fI've fallen into financial hard times. Had to cancel the Kickstarters I was backing, which was a bit heartbreaking when it came to the Batman: TAS game. Going to need to sell a bunch of my gaming/book collection to try and get back above surface. Spent the day taking photos.
