You're sitting on top of one of the biggest volcanoes known to exist on the planet. At least if it blows it'll be over quick

Damn, I didn't even know that. Thanks a lot, asshole!

While I'd love to say you wouldn't feel a thing...being cooked in molten lava at several thousand degrees would probably not be pleasant. Of course that would be if you were somehow trapped in a pyroclastic flow...at your range to it you would probably be blown into a million pieces by the massive initial explosion...think Mt. St. Helens eruption x1000000. Sleep tight

Be like Bill.

A 95-year-old veteran battled coronavirus and won:

Good news has become scarce of late as the novel coronavirus wreaks havoc on the health and lifestyle of Americans nationwide.
At least, that was until the virus came into contact with Bill Kelly, a 95-year-old World War II veteran who declared a full recovery from COVID-19 Monday after being diagnosed two weeks earlier.

One of the first Navy Seabees to ship out to the South Pacific, Kelly stormed the beaches of Guam alongside Marines during the 1944 amphibious assault of the island and would spend three years in the South Pacific before returning home.

“My grandpa is tough, and he has a faith of steel,” Kelly’s granddaughter, Rose Etherington, told Military Times.
But COVID-19 has proven to be indiscriminate in its lethality, and so on March 15, with Kelly beginning to feel ill and a thermometer confirming a low-grade fever, the family took him to the hospital.

Preexisting medical conditions that include stage 3 kidney disease, congenital heart disease, and high blood pressure prompted hospital staff to keep Kelly overnight as a precaution. When his condition improved the following day, the hospital released Kelly to return to his home in McMinnville, Oregon, which he shares with Etherington, her husband, her two children, and her mother. To be safe, Kelly was tested at the insistence of Etherington’s husband, Isaac, who had been in close proximity to infected patients days earlier while working as a medical evacuation pilot.

Kelly tested positive for coronavirus on March 17, sending the entire family into a two-week quarantine in their home.

Isaac was subsequently tested, and the results came back negative. The much-needed duties of his profession, however, would have to be put on hold under quarantine with his family. Each family member remained symptom-free while Kelly kept to himself in his bedroom, an initial span of “seven days where we treated the poor guy like a leper,” Isaac Etherington told the Oregonian.

Still, the WWII veteran and former fire chief remained optimistic and “tough as nails,” Rose Etherington wrote in a Facebook post. “I survived the foxholes of Guam, I can get through this coronavirus bullshit” Kelly said, according to Etherington’s post.

As the first week of quarantine came to a close, Kelly’s symptoms gradually subsided. “He is as chipper and sassy as ever,” Etherington wrote. “Grandpa Bill” coped with his down time, meanwhile, by serenading his housemates repeatedly with a blasted recording of the “Polka chicken dance” which would reverberate throughout the house. “Lord give us strength,” Etherington joked. The family’s quarantine — and the chicken dance marathon — came to a merciful end on March 30. Etherington told Military Times that her grandfather was “doing amazing,” and that Isaac has since returned to work.

Throughout the ordeal Etherington said her grandfather placed a steady emphasis on family and togetherness. “His dream is to see Americans supporting one another through this time,” she said. “He likes to see that old American fight again!” And the 95-year-old plans on being around to enjoy it, she said. “He believes God have him a job to do, and that he’s not going home until he finishes that job.”

I've seen a few reports that if a person dies of completely unrelated issues and they find the the person that died post mortem was a symptomatic. They will classify it as "complications to corona" as cause of death.

Cool, I saw those memes on Facebook too.

Found out a few hours ago I'm all the way remote until May 4th at minimum. I wonder if this will manage to drag on all the way through summer. How is everyone else holding out? Anyone trade their cowskin rug for some two-ply yet?

It's getting strange out there. Saw five police vehicles on my 5 mile commute home. Four undercover and a marked City.

Went to the store at 1. Not crowded. No ground beef. Bought a couple hams and a 12# butt. Both freezers are now 100% full. Store had tp, $5.69 for three rolls. Kirkland brand repackaged to three packs. I'm an essential business in TN for now. Warehouse across the street from me stamps car parts. Last week 100+ cars in parking lot. This week 20.

Seems to have recovered. I've read about this thing snapping back though so I'm not ready to raise the all clear yet.

Doing good enough out here...going a little stir crazy staying locked up for so long but I'm pretty sure that's everyone. Its weird trying to manage a team from the phone too. On a side note it helps that we can order alcohol on door dash now...its like mixing a bartender with a delivery driver.

Seems like TP is making a comeback and people with minor symptoms still arent being tested.
