Was in ChickFilA yesterday, paper only, and I watched the same table get cleaned three times while I was there. No one sat at the table the whole time. No condiments, serviceware or anything else out for customers, everything is by request only.

I think refillable popcorn is gone at least at epcot. There were no popcorn stands.

"Should we be packed in this close?!”

No, you shouldn't, which is why they're closing.

Anybody else getting inundated by emails from companies you've done business with (in some cases 5 years ago). I got an email from Avis (I usually go Uber, or if I have to Hertz) telling me the procedures they go through to disinfect the vehicle between drivers. I mean I appreciate them being proactive and all.

But after a 100 emails from various companies. Yeah. I get it.

Yup me too.

Of all places I got one from Register.com, who I used to buy a domain about 15 years ago (never touched them since - awful pricing), reminding me not to forget to renew any domains with corona going on.

I was self quarantined in my bedroom, for a week... when diagnosed with pneumonia.
Here’s the thing I learned about pneumonia- you don’t just go right back to 100% even when you’re no longer contagious, it can take up to a month for pain and cough to fully go away.

So, everyone is freaking out over coronavirus, assuming that if someone coughs then they must have it. Testing would make these situations much easier.
You can’t tell people to sit home for a month because they have a lingering cough.

My recovery took 8 months. Granted mine was very severe (one day from death, literally) but it was 3 months before I could even stand up a period of time. Worse, it can leave scar tissue in the lungs.

Totally thought the same thing! Especially when they are from companies I haven't visited in a while.

I got 5 cases of Guinness. 4 Bottles of Macallan 18. 8 bottles of Macallan 12. 16 bags of chips. A large freezer full of meat. And enough rolls of Toilet Paper to last me until 2036.

And some sanitizer.

Sounds like you are good till tomorrow...other than bathroom supplies.

I’m very glad to hear that you did recover.
Sounds like that was a nightmare.

Back home, or just to their dorms?

Let's just get on with it already. Psychology in play here. By closing (Disney, Uni, Cruise Lines, International Travel etc) - it no longer makes the news.

Then when they open, the thought process changes: "Hey look there are people at Disney now, people at Uni, people boarding a cruise."

Let it all shut down.....so we can get over this already.....and then come back. This is a process that needs to happen.

home home

It's not that simple for international college program cast to just fly back to Italy or China...
