My immune system is built like a tank. Not worried.

Same for me.  But, sorry, that actually puts us more at risk - the virus doesn't kill us, but a hyper-immune response does.

Bird Flu back in 2004 - some of the most at-risk were people under 40 who never got sick....I'm not talking out of my ass, I was tasked with researching that for 2+ weeks.

Just a PSA guys - alcohol weakens your immune system, so you might want to give your liver a few days off now and again.

Thanks for the heads up. But I dont leave my house. And my immune system is amazing. Also GFY.

Look, we can listen to Mr. Science here, or just listen to me when I say that I drink like it's an occupation (the good kind where you actually like showing up for work and don't half-ass your way through the day) and, over the past however many years, haven't had more than the rare (once per year, usually) cold that has me under the weather for 3 or so days. You want an immune system that knows how to go to war for you and putting it to the test daily is the best way to make it grow and get strong!

Alcohol kills germs. That's why I never get sick. #science

Also, kind of obvious here, but one thing I'm not buying anymore is gas. Filled up gas tank for $13 today and that was the first time I had bought gas in weeks. Probably wont need to buy anymore for another few weeks. 

Same here.  But I'm going to need to get some soon for my mower. My grass is really starting to grow.

Filled up my 3 gas containers for $12. Should last a good while.

Dr. Birx(?) on the taskforce was saying yesterday to avoid grocery stores in the next week because things are going to get bad.  So, yeah, predictably that's going to send people buying up 3 weeks of groceries.

A bit odd considering the parking lot has been packed nearly all opened hours the last  3 weeks.

At some point people should have enough food but I guess 3 people didn’t

Ahh. So when I decided to pick up some hours at Kroger, they put me on clicklist. We are about 6 or so days behind. So orders we are filling now came in a week ago basically. We had an order yesterday that was $928. And we filled probably only 2/3 or so of it. The original order was almost $1300.

Got a mechanical keyboard. Keychron K1, Mac specific. First mech keyboard since my Windows desktop days. I've missed it, what a game changer.

Reviews were all over the place, but so far so good and the price was right. So much better than the Mac keyboard.

Went to kroger yesterday and it was packed.  Go across the street to lowes and it was a 25 min wait to get in because they were only allowing a certain amount of folks in at the same time.

Was okay to be real close to people in krogers, but the cavernous Lowes its a must to keep the numbers low......

That's pretty sexy.  I've been using a mechanical one now for about four years, and I love it.  I've got the Logitech G710+ (sans wrist pad), and while I love having the number keypad on the right, I do wish it were wireless.
