Surprised to see Ohio go that much longer. 

Reinforces my thought that I'm in this until June, probably beyond. FUCK.

Saw your lockdown in Ohio extended through May. 
Starting today in illinois, you must wear a mask if you leave the house. 

Is there any concern about this for asthmatics?  I've never lived with one, but in my admittedly very limited medical knowledge on the subject, it doesn't seem that far-fetched to think a mask might slightly impede someone's ability to take a full breath if they have respiratory issues.

Not that catching a virus which attacks the respiratory system would be better, of course.  Just curious.

I know, staying in your house is so tough lol

It's not fucking fun, that's for sure.

Based on a meeting yesterday I don't think I'll be back in the office until 2021.

No, we have to eradicate the virus completely before we can leave our houses.

Yes.  Going to 4 mph speed limits as well.

No, we have to wait for everyone to feel safe after we eradicate the virus, before we can leave our houses.

Thank you for your service.  You are the hero we deserve. 

Going back to the dogs conversation, I got a call today that our pet spa is opening back up featuring curbside service and pay over the phone. :-)

We're doing a slow rollout to get back to the office. I won't be going back until masks aren't a requirement.

I deserve it. I deserve this recognition. I might even go Facebook Live so everyone knows. 

S&L in August 2020: Guys, just stay inside lol.
S&L in April 2021: It's not hard to stay inside for a year, guys lol.

I don’t follow. But curious if you’ve killed the coronavirus yet with your guns? 

I know we're supposed to wear masks out in public next week. At least at work, we won't have to in our cubicles -- just when we're going to the kitchen, bathroom or whatnot. Seems weird to start having to do this two months after shit got real, like deciding to use a condom after you already unintentionally knocked up the girl. But if it helps block the odor of cleaning supplies, I won't be overly upset. That shit gives me some sort of mild reaction where I'll leave work with a mild sore throat that lasts for about 30 minutes or so.

Lol bro, it’s not so hard to wear a mask.

I just don't understand how people think "waiting this out" is a practical strategy.  Even if we somehow got cases near 0 in the US, it seems almost certain to come back in the fall/winter since this is in almost every country in the world.

And it also doesn't seem like the summer will "burn it out".  Florida has been very hot and we know they've had a lot of cases.  We've seen plenty of data that it spreads very easily indoors - and ever hear of air conditioning?

I have no problems for a short period of time, like if I have to go to the store or whatnot. But for multiple hours a day, I have a feeling it would get uncomfortable after a while. At the least, it'd be a transitional period to get used to the feeling of having one on. And having to constantly adjust it because I'm the sort of person who needs a glass of water near him at work to sip from regularly, so it'd be this "lift up, sip, put back, lift up, sip" deal that would quickly piss me off in the "drinking water shouldn't be a multi-step process!" way.

I was just busting S&L’s balls. Those masks suck to wear. It’s mandatory in Italy now and I find them pretty suffocating. Most Italians don’t wear them properly either.

Did you call all those 8 meat shops within 10 min walk of you?
