Covid19 PSA

You guys are giving out your email to way too many people...

 

It's the throwaway address, but still...

 

So worst case scenario we'll be back to normal by June at the latest.

 

I haven't gotten a single email.

 

Don't worry. By next week when that portfolio triples, you'll have plenty.

 

Probably too early to know for sure.....some are speculating we'll hit our peak in late April early May and then it will start to slowly decline. Some are speculating a peak in June.

Others warn that this could play out similarly to the 1918 Spanish Flu. After the initial hit and then it subsided, it came back in the fall and killed even more people than it did in the first pass. During that pandemic if I remember correct it actually affected mostly younger folks, not like this.

 

I just got an email from our IT folks (work e-mail address). Some fine upstanding scumbags are using the current "crisis" to distribute malware. The attack they caught was a site pretending to be a live map by Johns Hopkins. According to our people it infects users with the AZORRult trojan. Surf safe.

 

Heard about that the other day as well. Even the Johns Hopkins map is starting to lag with its data now anyway. Not that useful. I downloaded the COVID-19 tracker app. You can quickly track things in your immediate vicinity, it's pretty nifty. Haven't checked to see if Android has similar though.

I don't have a need to know at that level of detail.

 

Ohhh...I'm not saying they aren't being sent but I don't get them. I keep addresses on multiple services and all of those are heavily filtered on the way in before the stuff I want gets forwarded to the last hop where it goes through one more round of filtering. I'm sure if I went and looked at any of those addresses there are plenty there. They just don't make it to the mail server on which I actually use email.

 

Why don't you just call us computer peasants and be done with it?

 

Evidently, he'd be holding back some....

 

Hey look at the bright side at least you get to ban me on occasion.

 

Meh, it's only satisfying in large numbers.

 

Florida should be reimbursing racers for their travel cost. Thats ridiculous.

 

Well, thanks again to whoever got the Dungeon closed. I'm teaching from home for the next two weeks AND my kids are home from school. Oh, did I mention that my wife works from home? Right now I'm more worried about staying sober than dying.

 

I've been through a bunch of hurricanes in my 20+ years on the east coast of Florida and I have never seen my local Publix like it was this evening. Can't even buy hamburger.

People are loosing it.

 

While it may not come as surprise, some of the discussions on tuition and room/board refunds are bewilderingly absurd.

No, most definitely no.
