These are going to be long weeks.

Hope my flight to thailand doesn't get cancelled :&
Why are you flying to Thailand during a global pandemic?
Well it looks like I'm not.
If you're asking, why do you have tickets to Thailand it's because I bought them before all this craziness happened.

I think Mazda is wondering why you hope the flight doesn’t get canceled. It implies you actually want to travel during a global pandemic...

The private sector in general has been thus far pretty ignorant on this subject. No one wants this to affect their bottom dollar even if it costs human lives. Government departments are even being stupid about this even after they advised non critical departments are to stay home we still have departments up and running despite the order to stay. I'm considered critical in my role so I have to come in but people doing financial and consumer services are also in the office which is ridiculous but the private sector is just business as usual. Every store, shop, restaurant is open as usual.

Lots of Canadians are still flying to their vacation spots and it's extremely irresponsible of them. I hope they get locked out of the country.

You're in New Brunswick right? A decision like this needs to be federally mandated and it should've been done at least two weeks ago. Restaurants here are finally closing but it's only at the provincial level and not a legally enforced measure.

This entire continent is full of morons.

For the people on the spectrum in our midst:
I was hoping the world would be in such a state that it would be safe to fly by the time I was supposed to leave. This is looking increasingly less likely with each passing day.

I'm kidding of course. The reality is that I'm already out here risking my health while 90% of my co-workers have been sent home. If I was going to fake a cough to get sent home I'd have done it already. It does piss me off how many people are coming to work that are supposed to stay home though and it does worry me to get called into the hospital but if it happens and I'm healthy then I'll be there. The private sector needs to shut down though, the projected death toll numbers are absolutely bonkers.

Funny how us people on the spectrum haven't been completely surprised by what's happening in the world in the last month :dork:

Have a nice quara...vacation.

Ireland closed pubs down 36 hours before St Patricks day. I don't think I've seen a more serious crisis.

They pulled the trigger too early, that’s for sure to be sure.

I actually don't think so. If you look at how quickly it spreads governments should have been on top of this weeks ago. They're estimating something like 500,000 deaths due to this virus... I'm not sure if that stat was worldwide or just the UK...

Edit: yeah that's just the UK. 2.2 million in the US. People thinking this isn't serious need to wake the fuck up.
