Most have said it's quite uncomfortable but, hey, to each his/her own.

This is the sort of thing that is very scary. Young, healthy, fit athlete not able to breathe on his own.

Unless you’re already with a compromised immune system. A shotgun right up on you is every bit as scary as a hydrogen bomb. If this thing was more aggressive with young people it would actually be better for old folks. Not that I want young people to fall ill but watching that spring break **** was pretty ass chapping. Although just a week before they shut down the bars and restaurants here the place I worked at was packed with rich arrogant Trump believing boomers. I was mortified but all I heard was it’s just the flu.

I had a dude come into the shop to sell me records yesterday (we're closed but we still need to buy stock unfortunately) who thought the "whole thing was bulls*hit". I laughed because I thought he was joking but he genuinely thought that the entire planet was exaggerating the crisis and that none of this was actually real. I immediately just started talking about the records he brought in instead of engaging in that sort of drivel. Dude was from Pennsylvania and probably drove ten under the speed limit in the passing lane to get to the shop, the f*cking moron. But hey at least I bought some King Crimson from him.

Bro if those checks start coming before VA quarantines for real I'm quitting my job cause my fatass, asthmatic, smoking ass can't afford to assume I'll be fine cause I'm only 33. Bitch when I get a cold I'm hocking up gallons of phlegm for two weeks after all other symptoms are gone.

Since fast food lives so well on take out you might not get laid off into unemployment land.

This virus lives easily on surfaces. Honest to God, how is there anyone still willing to eat fast food? That’s just insane.

A couple of times since you posted it I have thought about the customer who can't be too careful with the Chinese, even with records made in the 80s, and it makes me chuckle to myself.

I read that the virus dies in your stomach. You're supposed to transfer food from to a cleaned plate immeditely, wash your hands, then eat without slathering your burger on your face first. People might have a hard time with that last part.

Yeah you're not in danger from eating infected food so much as you're in danger from breathing the same air as us or possibly eating infected food and getting disease on your lips or in your mouth and breathing that in, and I don't even ****ing know if that makes a difference but it sure as **** shouldn't be comforting to anyone. Stop coming to Burger King just cause McDonald's is closed, you dumb ****s. And why the **** are the elderly still coming en masse? I swear to god I saw an old guy come in to get carryout who ate at the counter cause we've blocked off the dining room. WHAT THE ****?!
