Adam Silver has reached out to us about a potential merger of the NBA and CSL. We’re all about to be rich...

Rudy Gobert has coronavirus here too, but it’s fine cause he also hasn’t been on a roster in years

Pretty nuts in Europe at the moment. Nearly 800 dead in Italy overnight is insane.

Europe is turning into a police state - which I fully support given the circumstances. No way we should have bars, malls etc open and people walking around freely while in quarantine.

But its craziness what's happening in Italy and we need strict hard-core quarantine everywhere to avoid the same happening in other countries. There is no cure or vaccine so we can only sit at home and wait for a few months.

In Ireland over 300k lost their jobs and more to come. Everybody wearing gloves and masks. Social distancing etc. I'm lucky that I can work from home with no issues. Was sick with sinusitis last week and no doctor would see me as I had a fever and cough. So civilisation is put on hold for a while guys.

Wishing everyone well. Here in Canada, I think we're eventually moving towards a national state of emergency/some kind of lock down. All restaurants, movie theatres, etc have closed but there's still people who have to go to work. Thankfully for myself and the Mrs we can both work from home. Our company has mandated we work from home until April 30th right now, but I can definitely see that date getting extended.

Hardest part for me was when my gym closed lol. That's my 'me' time and some stress relief. So, I've been putting together a little home gym in the basement for now, an adjustable bench, adjustable dumbbells up to 70 lbs each, and some bands. Nothing crazy, but enough to hopefully maintain over the next while.

Same here - no gym is tough. I'm doing pushups and other calisthenics based exercises at home. No point really in weights as I'm into powerlifting and my apartment is going to fall apart if I try to bench or deadlift here :)

Doing ok here. I'm working from home, but my wife are essential so I have to make a once a week trip to my job and she's still going in daily. Hoping she gets to switch to telework soon because I worry about her having to go to a hospital as this worsens.

Hope everyone is staying safe!

Still doing okay here as well. We really haven't left the house in about 2 weeks with the exception of taking the dogs for walks. Never been so thankful to have a good sized fenced in backyard, especially as the weather starts to warm up. Starting to run low on produce and all of the grocery delivery services are super busy/delayed, so I'll be venturing out for groceries today.

Working 40 hours over here and someone already caught it at my work. Half the store took leave, but I have priorities to take care of.

Doing good though.

My company almost seamlessly transitioned ~12-15k people to work from home and are probably going to have a hell of a time convincing people to return to the office when this is all over with. I'm personally loving working remotely, just miss having lunch with my work people, and socializing in general lol

But on a more negative note, a lot of people don't seem to take this seriously around here, and we're going to be stuck in a lockdown state much longer if people don't use their damn brains and stay home.

Yeah, we transitioned well to work remotely, even though I have to go into the office majority of the time since I am considered essential, and I am one of the guys on the company's emergency response team. Still a lot of people who think this is just a flu, or think it's no big deal, and want to open things back up right now.

So many people here are angry over the "flu" and the "dems shutting us down". I wonder how these same people are gonna talk when we start hitting the 6 figure numbers. They're endangering all of us.
