I've heard the feds are giving us a 90 day extension to pay, but so far the IRS site does not confirm that.

I wonder how PA, CA, and other 'enlightened states' will enjoy the yoke of the 'liberal masters' saving them from 'da virus' by telling them to 'stay home'.

Methinks not very much, but it'll be interesting to see fantasy turn into reality.

The war of their lives has arrived. The war of sitting on the couch and doing nothing.

They’ll just blame Trump. Now if it was Obama...

Mary Sue has the flu, so no booze for you. Makes no sense to me.

Lil Andy (Kentucky's new totalitarian governor) announced today that all liquor stores must close. But, he will allow liquor to be delivered to your home. Win-Win?

The longest limes I have experienced at the liquor store were at the lottery machine. Feel free to close those down you oppressive bastards and we promise to be in and out. Thank goodness I stocked up on the Captain.

We're in the "denial" stage, the shock stage of this stupid panic. It's been about a week, and for now, people are rolling with it. But the anger stage is soon to arrive as this bullshit drags out for days/weeks.

But we all feel safe right now, don't we?

Now my brand new STI is stuck at the FFL, although it arrived this afternoon. And I can't even go to the fucking range because it's shut down. Already couldn't go to the gym anymore.

And my taxes are sitting at the accountant, so wonder what's gonna happen with that.

Fuck. You.

Wifey dropped off our taxes (2018) at account tonight. Hopefully it comes quickly. '19 we can easily do on TurboTax.

Is it time for the Northern Command Colorado Springs to be activated and assigned command and control?

There have been mentionings in the news of the national guards being called up but not much details. Does anyone have any information and which states, the numbers being called up and the timeline?

Stopped by grandpa's house today after work (tommorow is likely last day) to see how he's doing. He started off in the it's no big deal camp, with his wife with potential lung cancer and their age, he's taking it seriously. They always have a full freezer and pantry, said he's good on meds.

This is one of my biggest concern of the virus, if either of them get it one or both won't make it.

Love you, grandpa.

I want to know and I think that we are all owed a definite answer to the question of when does this stupid shit stop? Exactly where in the curve are we looking at? We hear give us two weeks and we'll know more, well, what if they say we still need more time. How many deaths is acceptable? How many infected is going to be acceptable? I want to hear "In X amount of time whatever the virus is or isn't, we get off of the crazy train and get back to our lives."

I'm amazed someone hasn't sued the shit out of some of these power crazy governors.

They need to dock their pay and turn the power off at the governors mansion. Let them see how fun it is to live hungry and in the dark

^^^ A-freaking-men. California is completely shut down. No sane person should see that as necessary. It’s obvious what’s going on here.

Why wasn’t all this shit done for HIV/AIDS back in the 1980’s? Now that was a death sentence back then.

Trump posted this on March 16th so I'm in wait and see mode until April 1st.

I don't have numbers, but Ohio has called them up. Helping set up tents for testing and distributing groceries.

Well, for one thing, most people don't have unprotected sex with the random person standing next to them while waiting in line to check out at the grocery store.

CA Governor issues state-wide 'stay at home' order

Does that apply to the campers?

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

Okay, 15 days to slow the spread but what are the target numbers in 15 days and what if we're not there? Then what, how long do we do this?
