It looks like most countries are gearing up for a pandemic, here in the uk at least the government are telling people to expect an outbreak and be ready to self isolate. I sort of self isolate anyway, so don’t need much encouragement not to leave the house. I’ll be also here making tunes.
I work in and commute to New York City every day and although there are relatively few cases here, I kind of feel like it’s only a matter of time before it shows up in numbers.
Thankfully my job can be done remotely, but my office is pretty pissy about letting me do that since I’m basically the only one who can; everyone else interacts with customers, many of whom are tourists, and I just play on the internet all day.
At this point I’m just waiting for the right time to ask to stay home.
German people kind of went crazy over the weekend. Grocerie shelves were emptied, all means of disinfection raided and doctors are complaining about not having masks for operations. Masks that dont help against the virus.
I can’t help but put the tin foil hat on here as it all sounds incredibly fishy. “No worse than flu” they say - so why close schools and stop “mass gatherings”?!
Anyway, I have a big piss up of a weekend in Newcastle planned for next weekend that nothing will be preventing from happening. Coronavirus can get fucked.
Haha I live in Newcastle, and I can promise you the corona virus will have zero effect on anyone looking to getting absolutely off their fuckin nuts. You’ll be in good company.
