"Casual Trash" Kirbys Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 And some good in the US. We are having our first human trial to work on a vaccine. Will post updates to follow. Quote Link to comment
Kodiack Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Twelfth case in NZ. High school student in Dunedin whose dad tested positive earlier. Scary possibility that we're going to start seeing some community transmission in the next couple of days to a week. The culture here already has a lot of us self-isolating and social distancing, so hopefully we'll have a very flat curve. Also, the stimulus package announced in Parliament today was incredible. Very thankful to have the government that we do right now. Quote Link to comment
EH_STEVE Posted March 17, 2020 Author Share Posted March 17, 2020 Office is closed until further notice to all "non-essential" staff. In quotes, because they mean that unless you NEED to work from the office (equipment access, etc) then everyone is work from home until further notice. Quote Link to comment

Tyranogre Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Just got off the phone with my boss. I might be able to work from home, but only for one of my two departments. This means that I'll only be earning half of my wages until April 7th. Quote Link to comment

ace Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I just watched any chance of getting out of my dead end job vaporize in front of me. On one hand I work in a supermarket so I won’t be losing anything, on the other hand I work in a supermarket so I’m going to get this disease Quote Link to comment
Link, the Hero of Dreams Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Unless you have a bad immune system or are like a senior citizen, I doubt you'll get it. Since I have the former... it might be risky. Applying for Unemployment might be difficult, since I have SSI. Yes, I am mentally disabled. Now I'm in a crappy situation where I don't know what will happen. Triforcemaster3 1 Quote Link to comment
ace Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 What? I’ll almost certainly get it. The difference is it won’t kill me... probably. Quote Link to comment

Link, the Hero of Dreams Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Hopefully. The thing is, it mostly targets senior citizens as a demographic. I'm currently screwed. April 1 Quote Link to comment
DLurkster Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 6 hours ago, EH_STEVE said: Cineplex in Canada looks like it's closing Forgot to report that because I thought when restaurants bard are not welcoming in-dining, that meant entertainment spaces like movie theaters. So either I missed that the first time or this was a few hours after restaurant and bar thing. Quote Link to comment
bel Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I wouldn't be surprised if my work closes very soon. We're losing money staying open. Trudeau's announcing income support information tomorrow though so I'm not super worried yet. Quote Link to comment
Kodiack Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Eight new cases in New Zealand. That's a 66% increase. Twenty total now. Meanwhile, my company just announced a pay freeze today, as I was immediately due for a significant pay review next week. Horrible timing and I'm frustrated, but I'm still in a position to weather all of this. alienboyva, April and Stephen 776 3 Quote Link to comment
