Thanks for posting this. It's a really interesting line to walk:

    Know that things will get worse, but don't panic. Educate yourself and others, and practice better hygiene than normal. Call your representatives.

I've got people on my teams getting nervous. Colorado declared "a state of emergency" which sound cataclysmic... but really it's about freeing up dollars and cutting red tape... but based on some people's reactions around the office, you'd think we just got word of a Russian nuclear launch.

I really like it... it resonates with me, so I'll quote you again:

    Know that things will get worse, but don't panic. Educate yourself and others, and practice better hygiene than normal.

You're gonna be alright, man. Statistically, everyone reading this will mostly be fine, considering the site's demographics. It isn't us that I worry for. It's more like trying to protect the 'Boomers-and-up demographic from themselves. Pretty self-righteous bullshit, but that's generally how I feel. Maybe this is all just me trying to justify my anti-boomer memes.

I do wish I had better news to give everyone, but we need to all get real, here, because the federal gov't isn't. Times are gonna be rough for a while, but we'll resume to kinda-normal in a couple years, looks like.

We're about to build some national character, but the character in the white house has to get out of the way first. And buckle up, 'cuz he's eventually gonna come at us with some absolutely insane conspiracies to pin the entire coronavirus outbreak on Biden before the election. That'll be fun.

Sorry I'm so angry. It's not u, bruh
