    Sweden closes its high school/"secondary upper school" (schools for 16 to 19 year olds)

    Also universities. 
    oh no!

    where will all the swedes learn to misunderstand american politics now?
    I think most people in that thread agreed you were the one not getting it, regarding that topic.

    So, what is up with your questionable attitude?

    I want to discuss the economic impact of all of this.

    Anyone who doesn't have a huge nest egg stashed away is going to be screwed.  That ever increasing gap between the middle class and the wealthy just got ripped open wider.

    The bottom part of the economic scale?  Forget it.  They are stuck there for a long time now.

    Everything some of us have worked for is going to be taken away in a month, I know my 401K is suffereing.

    We live on the  borderline of poverty without all of this. On state benefits  due to long term illness and i just had 2 good friends take food to my ex wife and children. 
    Good karma . And this is only the start.

    My brother just texted me about mom being worried she's gonna stop getting hours at the restaurant she has worked at since like 1990. 

    This is getting shitty for real. 

    Also - the virus are spreading outside of the big cities now in Sweden.

    The news is saying trump was much more sober yesterday for the first time after saying he had it under tremendous control sunday.

    This economic impact will be felt far and wide.  I keep thinking about this and really feel terrible for those that are most impacted.  Most Americans do not have the savings to weather this storm, assuming they'll be out of work for an extended period.  Some of those small businesses will be forced to close.  People close to retirement that just lost 30% of their life savings (more likely to come) will be forced to continue working.  The list goes on and on.

    You deserve scorn & contempt if you're pushing conspiracy theories right now.


    Grow the fuck up.

    Woke up today, and my head is heavy, my throat is a bit sore and a bit runny noise. 

    But maybe it's just because I overslept and still hasn't woken up yet... and I don't think the above things are signs of corona... I guess...
    I felt that way yesterday.  Took advil and zyrtec and feel much better.  Remember allergies are in full force and all of our bodies respond differently to stressful situations.   be well.
    Went home. Had a couple skype meeting anyways. So might as well do them with my cat nearby. 

    More worried about my dad having a fever. And my moms job at risk. Than me coughing. 

    But now I can blast the latest vault release atleast while working.
