Compare those Time Square cam shots today that are above versus this video.
Last Friday: https://www.facebook.com/JosafatCern...8289433781496/ Crowds have dwindled by a magnitude of insanity. |
Those jokes are similar to what I was thinking about today regarding the effects of Coronavirus on pop culture.
Every sitcom next year is going to have a quarantine episode for sure. You can bet the farm on a Hollywood movie with a young attractive female lead playing a pathologist on the frontlines traveling from China to Italy to NYC as the situation unfolds. I'm sure we'll have some creative rap lyrics referencing the virus soon. With filming suspended on pretty much every major picture, next years Oscars could be pretty barren. |
All week, Los Angeles' freeways have been like Sunday mornings; or like the 2 weeks of the 1984 Summer Olympics.

11:30 am on Tuesday. Austin was supposed to have 500,000 people in town this week for SXSW, instead, this is what our downtown looks like.
These are big so I'm hiding them behind spoiler tags. |
We here in Los Angeles/Los Angeles County may soon find out if we will have to "shelter in place"---except it'll be referred to as "Stay at home."

It's official. Los Angeles County now has to shelter in place, though it's being called "Safer At Home."

Did they suspend construction in the Los Angeles?

My county/employer is practically mandating everyone who can to work from home.
My deputy chief basically told me to get the hell out of the office and stay home (in the nicest way possible, seriously). Thank god for telecommuting... It's probably the closest I'll ever get to that cliche'd "You're off the case, Buckeye. Turn in your badge and gun." Meanwhile, our governor just now decided that bars/restaurants/gyms/movie theaters, et cetera should be closed in the six counties where there've been positive cases of the virus (Arizona only has 15 counties). Flagstaff was the first city in the state to implement this on Tuesday, followed by the cities of Phoenix and Tucson on Wednesday. Phoenix is in the (somewhat?) precarious position of having 1.7 million of Maricopa County's approximately 5 million residents. Senator Sinema has been riding the governor's ass online to get people to stay home. |
Oh WOW, now Governor Newsom says ALL of California is under a "Stay At Home" order.

I can't really gauge how serious Portland is taking it? Most of the workforce that could work from home probably is at this point. I work in operations at a power company so were right in the digital trenches tho. My building is a fffkn scooby doo ghost town. Its 65 and sunny though so people are also out walking, chilling in the park, cooking hamburgers out back. All the service spots are shut down tho. Will it be worth it??? I dont know. It's going to be a philosophical debate for sometime. If you got to keep your job or lost a loved one, maybe. If you got shitcanned and now our leaders have brought us to a recession? Maybe not. It's been stressful as shit tho. Heard about that little earthquake? That knocked out our Utah ops center. It's been crazy. Excuse me if its Miller time. Were keeping the lights on tho!!

NYC is now the new Wuhan. They need to lock the place down.
