Covid 19 virus

The thing I'm most curious to see is when people get tired of hearing about it and give up and return to business as usual. I mean this stay at home thing is feasible for some people, I can work from home indefinitely and now my employer has mandated it but most people cannot, they can stay home for a week or two but the virus could easily be spreading for months so this is not sustainable.

I don't know when, but I would bet that at some point covid-19 is not new and shiny anymore, it will have infected or killed enough people that it will become another faceless statistic and everyone will be obsessing over something else.

I'm hopeful that a lasting result of this will be an increase in telecommuting as companies pushed into offering it due to the currently unusual circumstances will see that for many jobs it is a waste of resources to require everyone to come in and sit together in the same office. With the communication tools we have available now all I need is my laptop and a decent internet connection, my physical location is irrelevant.

Queue up mate  :D

Sicker to find no dunny paper anywhere because of too many idiots

and people that were normal ( ::)) a few weeks ago getting all so-o-o grim, serious and 'informed and updated' about it if some humor gets tossed in..

Image all these idiots in a real shtf situation,
they'll stay in a burning building about to collapse, breathing through improvised folded dunny paper 'filters',
because it's still a better punt than escaping and risk 'catching something deadly'    :palm:

The Greek Orthodox church say that taking the communion wine from the same common spoon won't spread the virus... https://www.bbc.com/news/world-51819117. Is this God's protection of the faithful, or the 13% ethanol content of the wine preventing spread of the virus?

This raises another question: Would having a nip of grappa or whisky (both very high in ethanol content) be a good backup as well as washing hands with hand sanitiser after eating take-away food or restaurant food prepared by someone with corona virus? It is known ethanol kills this virus in its tracks. Could a glass of wine after each meal sanitise the mouth, the gullet and maybe even the stomach contents?
