My plans to go to the Cubs home opener has been ruined.

My mom got me a season pass for adventureland, a couple hours from where I live and idk if I'll be able to go there at all.

I recently found out about a painting class of sorts that peaked my interest as a way to try something new and to meet new people. I heard that rec facilities here in town have closed so idk about that happening anytime soon.

I can't wait until this is all over. I am dumbfounded that all this has happened.

It’s all Trump’s and Xi’s fault.

If you're easily depressed and are already cautious, don't need to click.


Thank you so much for that.

Most of the world needs a serious wake-up call, to stop being so egocentric about their choices.


^^^ This is what all this is about. I totally agree. I also believe things will never go back to how they were, there will be a new world order.

Well I think my wife is getting spooked. So I guess I will take a trip into town and pick up some supplies. My dog food is getting low and my dog eats a lot. I need to stockpile some dog food. The next state over closed all YMCAs. I guess my trip tomorrow to the YMCA is in jeopardy. I will take a quick trip now before the world gets truely insane.

I will report back upon my return.


Sorry Jimmy, I've stolen this for work :lol:

Cause trump made people eat bats and then spread a virus.

Reminds me of the “ thanks Obama” for anything crappy that happen.
I don’t think Hillary would have handled this any better. All politicians left and right worry about the economy first and most.

Gas was $1.70 in town.Store still has food,some toilet paper and Lysol.They were limiting amounts.
Had to go to dispensary and on the way back saw a tent outside a doctors office with people wearing masks and surgical gowns.
Decided to not venture out again.

Gas prices are same here. Haven’t gone down at all.

They've actually suspended all voluntary work indefinitely.

You know things are bad when even JWs throw in the towel.

^ Just rewatched it now (saw it when it was uploaded years ago).
Somber listening, I’ve been ignoring it in my YouTube suggestions feed for the last few weeks: thanks for pushing me to rewatch.
It’s a small dim hope, but maybe when this has run its course more folks with power will pay attention to what he has to say.

The bat part, as well as inadequate inspection of the Wuhan market is where I blame Xi.

Trump is responsible for firing the pandemic task force, his anti-science views, and grossly underestimating the seriousness of COVID-19.
