Obviously this crisis is devastating and the loss of life is awful. The situation id depressing on multiple levels; anyone of which can spiral a person down.
Many of us, myself included, are feeling vulnerable for one reason or another and it's not fun. Because of this I had a moment this morning where I realized I needed to find something that could be a positive of this situation.
I hoped that by finding something that could be good it would reduce the constant worry and spiral of negative emotions. I realize this may not work for everyone but it helped me and I hope it may help someone else.
So far my positive list is:
1. Price of housing is likely to go down. 2. More people may support science funding and believe scientists (it's becoming more of an issue in the US where scientists are not believed because they study this stuff and therefore biased)
That's all I could come up with. Anyone else think of something?

6. The Las Vegas Raiders new stadium in Las Vegas may be being delayed, as the construction may not finish in time for the NFL season.
This leaves them to play games... in Oakland. Where they came from, aka a bunch of people who hate them for leaving and ditching thousands of loyal supporters.
In other words, sweet, sweet karma.

7. Families are united and we get to spend more time with our family at home.

I guess you heard what our so-called "wartime President" said about China. He called it a China Virus because it originated in China as if China cooked up the virus to unleash it against the USA. That was bigoted and showed he doesn't care who he insults as long as he can try to get mileage out of this crisis.

So this morning my wife gave our son some window chalk and told him to draw a picture to cheer up the old people who love opposite since they’re stuck indoors. Kids have been putting up pictures of rainbows and things like that so we thought we’d join in. This is what he came up with. A zombie. A corpse. “DO NOT GO OUT. YOU WILL DIE.” Well done son. (Fixed the size now)

Ive raised a child who is obsessed with Plants vs Zombies and is practically counting down the days until he’s old enough for me to show him Resident Evil... In other news, as of about 20 minutes ago the UK has gone into lockdown for the next three weeks. Anything non-essential is going to be shut down and travel restricted except for going to work or going out for supplies. My wife and I are both “Essential workers” so at least (providing nobody at home gets ill) we can still go out to work for a break from the kids lol.

Here in Korea the media is talking about a "new" concept: Hon-Sul
That's short for "Honja Sul....whatever the word for drinking is" aka: drinking alone
I hate to break it to you guys that's not new, and it already has a name: alcoholism

Well there's been a run on booze in Pennsylvania and in New Jersey and Delaware so I guess you're right on that.

20% of my pay has been cut and now I'm working 30 hours instead of 40.
I guess I'll have more time to write the Rumble?
