Almost every last person that is still coming into the post office is a senior citizen


Fucking idiots, what the hell is their problem? Do they think they know better than every health expert on earth? I ask them all what they are doing out and tell them to stay home. God that pisses me off. Their book of fucking stamps is not that important.

My parents are in their 70’s and they are staying home. I can’t understand why anyone in that age group would be taking such a chance.

Yeah, fucking idiots

Let me ask you this - I'm 69 and in very good health, but my husband is considerably older so I'm concerned about him - at least for now. We are staying in for a couple of weeks just to see how this progresses, but at what point do older people start venturing out? Do we stay quarantined forever? This is not going away anytime soon - yes we may flatten the curve for now but who's to say it won't start right back up again if people start going back out and businesses reopen? Hopefully if most of the people who get it build an immunity to the virus, then it might die down but that will not happen overnight.

I think you are doing the right thing. In fact, we should all only be leaving our homes when absolutely necessary. The reason why China is currently reporting so few new cases is in part from quarantining. Add mass testing and trace sourcing and maybe they are on to something.

As far as when to go back out again I would assess again in a couple of weeks. Most sources say we are only at the beginning of this but who knows.

Perhaps you could try being a little nicer. It might go a long way in dealing with some of the issues you've discussed here.

at least you are still working

Many senior citizens pay their bills by check...not online. They may want to make sure they can continue to do that in the coming weeks and have no one to pick them up for them..
And it's not like someone can't be careful and cautious making a run to the post office. You guys aren't crowded right now, are you?
Wash your hands and no coughing on the customers.

I'm not old, but I'm not young.

I'm not scared of any of that. I have been sick too many times to count and know there's nothing you can do.

If we could extend our life to like 500, we'd have some very brave motherfuckers walking around.

I went for a walk through a park that I thought would be sparsely populated yesterday, and there were two groups of around 30 zoomers each playing fuck damn volleyball, and several other coteries of dozen-or-so zoomer ignorami contaminating the land via other sports. Rest assured there are spooned out coneheads of all ages seeding contagion across the doomscape far and wee.

reply

Yeah it’s nuts. What slang are you speaking? I like it.

Neo-Pantagruelian turkey jive cum e.e. cummings, mixed with swears?

reply

Damn zoomers. They are a pestilence upon the land.

reply

Just when you think you've got the boomers' tricks and mischievous antics squared enough away, here come the damn zoomers! If it's not something, it's something I tellsya!

reply

It is something. I passed a group of frolicking zoomers this morning. It was more than I could bear.

The CDC recommends strapping these zoomer deflectors to either side of your head like a horse, to curtail the risk factor of chance zoomer encounters in the wild: https://bit.ly/3bbXlft These deflectors are reportedly repellent to zoomers.
