    @Thad E Ginathom Yes, not illegal but discouraged. Even church suspended, and mind this is a nominally religious country. Wow.

    I'm a recluse by nature to begin with but tried making an effort to get out more often right around the time this mess happened. The universe is displeased with my resolution.

    People are sending me comments on WhatsApp like "time to catch upon that reading hey" I don't have the heart to tell them nothing's really changed for me, oh no my active social life is curtailed.

    Still have your attack pups? Makes sure their noses are booped to emergency spec!

    Are we a forum full of introvert hermits? Only socialising on the internet?

    I /do/ get out of the house, to concerts, fairly regularly, Still doing so, although beginning to worry about it a bit: we are an middle-aged-to-elderly bunch. If the virus spreads amongst us we could be decimated. And I don't like being decimated.

    I just found out, AND a curfew for those that do go out. How fun.

    Haha, I have long stretches of dark moods where I seclude myself but yeah I do get out every now and again, thank you very much!

    All you old coots take care. Wouldn't be fun talking with 1/10th a Thad. And yes the attack doggos are up to spec! Latest patches and snoots.

    98 cases, yoikes. Nothing compared to some places I’m sure, but concerning nonetheless. Canada has been light so far, but that will change eventually. Our PM Justin Trudeau’s frickin wife has just tested positive! Stay safe man.

    @DigMe for the love of everything holy wash your hands, man :))

    Thanks @Golmang, @rlow! Holy f**k didn't know about J. Trudeau's wife. And yeah, my concern is that the number of people who've actually been screened is pretty low compared to the 12M or so just in my area.

    @insidious meme Pasig is within Metro Manila, but if you mean how far am I from Manila the city, about 7km. Some of the cases caught are in the hospital right next to where I'm an intern ffs.

    Yeah, heard about Manila being in lockdown. Now waiting to see if my mom can fly out from there at the end of the month. If it was right now I think she can. But the situation is fluid.

    @insidious meme All the best to your family! Yeah things are set to fall on a needle, people are preparing for the worst. I'm lucky with my situation, others are legitimately terrified. Things in Manila aren't too bad generally :)

    Does decimate mean to kill ten percent, or to kill 90%, leaving 10%?

    Looks like it originally meant one in ten, so, with any luck, there might be 90% of me left to talk to.

    But this is absolutely not an offer to volunteer for decimation.

    Oh damnation it was "take a tenth", not "leave a tenth". Crapola.

    Haha, never too silly to learn something, especially if it's something you thought you knew! Got a genuine chuckle out of me, haha.
