All the pharmacies in my area have run out of hand sanitizer, and have started stocking medical masks. People are buying up a lot of food. There are plans to go to the army and Navy surplus shop in Limerick to buy gas masks radiating around the Village. Things are very tense.

I'm kind of worried that the whole situation might impact negatively in that job I was pursuing

On one hand, they'll need more doctors. On the other hand, it's easier for lazy/incompetent people to reject an applicant on a suspicion than test you for anything.

Good news is, most of the lazy and incompetent management will weed themselves out for you.

But they'll need mostly more NCHDs which I am not (and am not interested in being). I'm worried about suspicion being a problem.
Mind you this is specifically about job prospects abroad. At home... well I could possibly get something, but not at home home, but elsewhere in Spain. I wrote today to Madrid but I'd rather not go.

At work today, they gave us a briefing about washing hands and using sanitizer, and if infected stay home and take a medical leave if necessary. Then my boss made a loud fake cough(I hope it was fake, he was right behind me) and everyone laughed.

Installing shit on a customer's computer and I'm seeing their Windows 10 email alerts come across their screen.....all mentioning Corona Virus.

You know what's fun? Trying to figure out if you're sick when your baseline is allergies and mild sleep deprivation, but right now it's also hot and humid and you haven't been sleeping for however long it's been (a week? 3?) because of ptsd.

It takes them longer to notice if you do it inside of the case.

First case in North Carolina, straight from that one nursing home in Washington! Desolation approaches!

RIP Best Carolina, it was tolerable while it lasted.

Shopping right now is surreal. I went to the supermarket late Monday night after work, and some things were completely out of stock, oats for one, but they had just fully stocked the canned foods section. Had to go back the next night for a few things and the entire canned food section was virtually empty again, except for some expensive stuff and a few other things such as those cheapo-brand canned pre-cooked spaghetti in tomato sauce. Everyone realizes that stuff is a waste of space when you can just buy dried pasta.

A lot of workers on the floor restocking. So they're apparently restocking at night then it empties again by the next night.

The real bubonic plague victims here.  Would somebody think of the investors?

[Frumple]

I mean, sure. Can't figure out how to cook billionaire tartare without thinking about the investors.

Actually, do day traders count as garnish, or...?

[Cthulhu]

And robinhood went down.  muh puts!  muh puuuuuuuts!

At a Woolworth's supermarket in Sydney there was an incident. There was a fight over a roll of toilet paper, and one woman pulled a knife. The correct term here is Roid Rage.

It's time to restart the best gameshow ever made: Supermarket Sweep

BTW people are starting to scalp extremely expensive toilet paper online.

It's the nice 3-ply stuff and a bulk 36-roll pack.
A mere $350 Australian dollars. May I hear starting bids now?
And let me point out I didn't even single that one out for price. There are single rolls for > $100.

It's 2020 goddamnit. They promised we'd have droid rage by now.
