I’m now leaving work and I believe we’ve finally breached the hysteria phase.
a. The virus is here
b. We’ve suspended travel from high risk places
c. College went to distance learning then local schools shutdown
d. Bars and restaurants are shuttering
e. There’s no meat, toilet paper, etc to buy
f. The stock market crashed
g. Medical supplies are low and hospitals are getting overwhelmed
h. Sports got cancelled
i. Sure I missed something else major
We are now transitioning to the F it phase. There’s nothing more they can do to us that matters.
There’s a weird calm here now. The pie holes have tired of yammering and the crisis is no longer unique. The balance is about to tip in our favor.
All that's left is for you to take your rightful place as leader of this moribund group.
I'll step in as your steady 2nd in command ... 'til an accident befalls you ... mysteriously, then I'll take your place. Don't worry, I'll build a statue in your honor.
