My second biggest fear is that even if NZ and Aus do get rid of it entirely for a 2 week period and start relaxing laws greatly, it won't be us reintroducing it back to our shores. It'll be imported.
And our govts aren't silly enough to unlock our shores for a looooong time to come.
Which also means many businesses will still be in peril. Airlines, tourism, etc
No God, No fear.

Great - wearing a face mask triggers my claustrophobia...one more reason not to leave the house. It's gonna be a long fucking plague.

What’s not to like? She’s smart, funny, genuinely seems to care what happens to other people. She’s an agnostic, a cat person, had a baby out of wedlock and told people who didn’t like it to go fuck themselves.
And I suspect (but cannot prove) that she’s a wildcat in the sack.

I'm asymptomatic. I think I'll start wearing my P95 masks. I have them for doing wood working, purchased well before the hoarding started.

I have an Israeli M15 gas mask that I picked up in a box full of odd shit at an auction. (I wanted the 6 AK magazines and the full quart bottle of Hoppes #9 gun cleaning solvent. (Paid $12 bucks))
I considered wearing it to town - but it really wouldn't be much better than a plain surgical mask. The filters are basically for chem irritants - not bio....plus it would freak people out a bit...

I also have a half-face mask that uses disposable cartridges that I use when I paint a vehicle or finish a wood project. Catalyzed finishes are not good for one's lungs. It can also be fitted with HEPA filters, but I'm betting that the stores are out of those.

Two more years until the Navy tells me if I can publish my book. I don't have my hopes up, some people aren't dead yet. Maybe God sent the virus to help me out there.
