That speaks volumes.
I was in our local Co-op on Monday and they're still doing twofers and threefers on all sorts of things.

My wife heard this exchange in the local Co-op on Saturday:
Customer: Are we allowed one or two loaves of bread?
Assistant: Only one, unless the other is for a neighbour.
Customer: Yes, it's for a neighbour.

People round our way seem to have an awful lot of neighbours!

When Shakespeare was quarantined because of the plague, he wrote King Lear! 
Note: It may even be true[^] (assuming that he did, indeed, write ANY of "his" plays)

I had high expectations for me too but unfortunately I'm stuck implementing Locality Sensitive Hashing and bunch of useless stuff.

Good point. We've got 14,484,030 of them right now (as I write this)...
You think that'll be enough monkeys?

sonnet:
~
i can't stop remembering
others in danger:
refugees, homeless
god, there's so much misery:
i can't look at it
without shivering
but, it's too hot to shiver,
and the heart grows cold:
damn my inertia!
ordinary miracles;
bones in the tar-pits:
i'm out of wisdom
all i want is a mirror
to show me comforting lies
~ i was talking to a friend about the current nightmare, and he said: "in spite of everything, i'm still an optimist: i think tomorrow is going to get better." i said: "well, i'm an optimist, too: i think today can't get worse."
last night at midnight (GMT+7), nationwide state of emergency declared. everything shut down for a month except banks, food stores, post office, hospitals. restaurants: take-out only, many shut down.
about time: the virus has been so under-tested/reported here, the number of Chinese tourists in Dec. ~ Feb. (on daily flights from Wuhan, and other Chinese cities, to major tourist destinations) ~200k.
as a US expat, there is no assistance from US-gov for any health related expenses. btw, i agree with that policy: the fraud that would occur would be massive.
i am almost certainly safer here than i would be in the US. here, my pension enables my enjoying a 3 bedroom, two bath house, with teak floors in a quiet, cooler, neighborhood; back in the US, i couldn't afford to rent a broom-closet in a slum with drug-dealers on the street-corners.

thanks, Griff, my lifestyle is probably sheltering-in-place already (compared to tourists, and other long-stay expats); i'm something of a hermit  as long as i can bicycle a few miles and buy fresh soy-milk for about US$ 0.40 per liter, a big slow grilled over charcoal red-snapper (with stalk of lemon-grass inside) for about US$ 4 (enough meat to last me 2+ days), i'm okay
