Can’t wait to eat food processed by COVID-19 positive employees. Mmmm.

Obviously the safety of the workers is the most important thing. 56 is a lot of cases and if work isn’t safe for them it shouldn’t happen.

Anyway, wash your hands right now.

I forgot who, but someone said that shopping online at Pike Place Market was easy. It was not. At least for me. Each store had its own website or you had to call. Some places you still had to go in to. Still, it was good to have much of it done ahead of time.

Well it finally happened: My hair is ridiculous. Can’t part it. Can’t slick it back. Just a big lump on my head. Swooping. I have had it long before, but this intermediate stuff is probably going to last a while. So I am sorry coworkers, friends and family. You’re stuck looking at this on Zoom for a while.

Anyway, everyone wash your hands right now.

I have not been exercising nearly enough in the stay at home times. So I tried going for a walk in the morning. It was fine. Fewer people are out at 7:00 and I hopped right in the shower after the walk was over. Um, but I forgot to do this post until a couple minutes before work started. So here’s a lunch break post instead of a morning one.

Please wash your hands right now.

I am glad to see that Governor Inslee has put forward a path to reopening the state and that it is very gradual. Until there’s a vaccine or much more widespread testing, we’re not going to be able to do a lot of things. I am not sure how much I would want to do elective surgery right now, but I guess if people are taking precautions it’s probably fine? Maybe if you’re in pain or there are down the road consequences it changes the equation.

In any case wash your hands right now.

Were you at the let us get sick rally? If so, you might just get sick. I am a bit worried that even mentioning these jerks will give them oxygen. But still. If you can’t social distance and wear a mask at the I am ready to go out rally, imagine how horrible it will be when the cameras are off. These fuckers aren’t ready for an evening stroll.

Anyway, wash your hands right now.

Someone in my building got the Coronavirus. My super put a note under the door that all of the common areas would be deep cleaned yesterday.* So I guess this is the best time to do laundry and check the mail, even though they aren’t necessary for a bit?

And yet, I am stay putting. I also found some green tea in an unexpected place, so now I have a source of caffeine that doesn’t require cutting with milk. So I guess I can hold up for a bit longer without leaving the building.

[Read more…]

My parents’ friend made a bunch of masks and they sent some on to me. So, next time I go out, I will have minimal protection. And maybe will help other people not get whatever I might have. Still, not going out is probably the best.

And washing your hands. So go wash your hands right now.

I get so angry when people in the national media cite Washington bending the curve as good news. I, of course, am very grateful for everyone who is staying inside and everyone who can’t. But people describing 500 dead as good news because it isn’t more just feels off.

Anyway, wash your hands right now.

I am starting to run out of stuff that I can’t replace at Pike Place Market or the corner store. I am currently eating some toast with the last of the Marmite. And I am nearly out of my favorite hot sauce. Both of these are things that I would pick up at the World Market, but it’s closed. I know that I could probably get these things online, but I would prefer not to have delivery people come into the building — that has elderly and immunocompromised people — just so I can get my preferred spread or hot sauce when others are available.

Folks. Keep up the social distancing. It’s tough, but you’re going to get through it. Downtown is still too crowded for me to feel comfortable taking a walk, but in general it seems like we’re doing pretty well. My mother’s friend has been making masks, and apparently some are in the mail for me. That’s probably better than a bandanna.

In any event, please wash your hands right now.
