Vote #651
Question:
I think there's only one thing on everyone's mind and that's the coronavirus. I went into San Francisco today to see some friends I used to hang out with in the Sunset. I was really looking forward to catching up with them, but not looking forward to the drive as it just seems a waste at the weekend. Turns out there was hardly any traffic on the road. (I need to caveat that with hardly any traffic in Bay Area terms as there was still quite a lot). I don't know if it's just because it's not really tourist season yet or if people are not going out due to the virus, but it made me wonder how long before schools start to close. Will William's school stay open all week?
Results:
Yes - it will remain open and No - it will close tied with 50% of the votes each from the following:
- Yes - it will remain open (50%)
- No - it will close (50%)
Analysis:
I think the 50/50 split on the answer is about right. The school did technically stay open all week, however, they announced on Friday that it's shutting starting next week.

Question:
Rant time: OK, I get that this whole coronavirus thing is pretty serious and I get that people are panicking. Totally understandable that people will feel scared and confused. Totally understand that people will want to start preparing for the worst. I get that it makes sense to have some of the essentials in like water and canned food, but what on earth is the deal with bog roll? Why have people gone crazy over buying toilet paper. I went to the supermarket on Friday as I needed to do a shop and the worst thing about it was that I needed to buy toilet paper. Normally I buy a stack of it and then forget about it for a long time until the supplies start to dwindle. I have to be honest that most of the people in the supermarket were pretty calm, but there were a few folks that had that grab it before it goes look about them. Back to arse wipes though. I know of several people that have bought a ton of crap paper and don't really know why other than the fact that everyone else seems to be doing the same. My conspiracy theory would make me think that the paper industry, suffering from sales as nobody prints anything, created a virus in the hope of giving everyone diarrhea to sell botty cleaner. They failed, but somehow the virus got loose and someone started posting somewhere better make sure you stock up on toilet paper. Anyway, how's your bottom?
Results:
Minty was the clear winner with 40% of the votes from the following selection:
- Good (20%)
- Bad (20%)
- Smelly (0%)
- Clean (20%)
- Minty (40%)
- Badonkadonkalicious (0%)
Analysis:
Minty??? Who on earth has a minty bottom. What do you do? Clean it with Colgate so it helps whiten while keeping it minty fresh? And while we're talking about nonsensical stuff, not sure if you've seen, but the 3 most common cures for coronavirus that were reported on the internet were 1) drinking bleach, 2) taking cocaine and 3) masturbating. Now, while the first two are just plain stupid, the third does make some sense assuming you're doing this in private and keeping your social distance. It would also help to explain why all the stores are running out of tissues.

Vote #653
Question:
Well, things don't seem to be getting better, but the crazy think is there's still hundreds of people still traveling about. The traffic cameras still show a steady flow of traffic even though the order has been made to not travel unless required or for an emergency. I guess it's going to take more serious action/enforcement to make it happen. I have to be honest though, I still don't know what to think. The headlines read about stricter action and enforcement being needed, but buried in other articles there are statistics that show this isn't too bad. One article talking about the fact that we don't know if the people that have died so far that have been connected to the virus would have died anyway. The irony here is that it implied that less people may die because of the virus because people in general are being safer. Guarding against coronovirus also helps guard against flu. Less cars on the road should equal less motoring fatalities. The reality is that this won't be known until we come out the other side. One thing I do know is that I seem to be getting better at video games again despite having crested the hill of life. Is it sad that I'm still reasonably good at video games?
Results:
Yes was the clear winner with 67% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (67%)
- No (33%)
Analysis:
Sad maybe, but there's life in this old dog yet!

Vote #654
Question:
I'm not sure I'm going to cope with it when this virus goes you know. I'm going to have to mix with people again and be nice to them. It's been great hiding away in my little hole. Away from all the idiots and their nasty germs. I'm guessing most of them have said the same thing about me and not having to see me, lol. Anyway, during this isolation I've been bitten on my bottom oddly enough. Who or what would want to bite my bottom?
Results:
Liberace was the clear winner with 75% of the votes from the following selection:
- Beats me (0%)
- No idea (0%)
- How should I know (0%)
- Tarantula (0%)
- Rattlesnake (0%)
- Liberace (75%)
- Beyonce (25%)
Analysis:
Sometimes when I post one of these votes I pretty much know how everyone's going to respond. This was no exception. I put Beyonce in there as obviously she would be jealous of my amazing bottom, but yes, you all went for Liberace even though he's dead. Zombie Liberace has come back to life just to bite my bottom.

Question:
What month do you think we'll be given the all clear to go back to normal?
Results:
May and October tied with 40% of the votes each from the following:
- April (0%)
- May (40%)
- June (0%)
- July (20%)
- August (0%)
- September (0%)
- October (40%)
- November (0%)
- December (0%)
Analysis:
One very optimistic person thinking May would see the end of this, but most thinking it will go longer. I also fell into the longer camp thinking it would be much later in the second half of the year before we'll be back out as normal.

Vote #656
Question:
Well, the world is in lockdown and people are staying away from hospitals unless really sick. Unfortunately I was one of the people that needed to go into ER amidst the pandemic, but not for covid related issues. I'm going to guess that I will need several follow up tests. How many times will I have to visit medical clinics this week?
Results:
3 was the clear winner with 50% of the votes from the following selection:
- 1 (0%)
- 2 (0%)
- 3 (50%)
- 4 (25%)
- 5 (25%)
- 6 (0%)
- 7 (0%)
Analysis:
Yeah, I thought it was going to be quite a few, but it ended up only being one. Had a phone call with my doctors office and she sent me to see a specialist. That was the only clinic that I physically went to. Little side story - they asked me over the phone if I had covid symptoms. When I went in they asked me the same question, but asked a second which was whether or not I'd been near anyone with covid. I answered yes which freaked everyone out. I pointed out that I'd been in ER and that they were treating people in there with covid, so I must have been near people with it. The receptionist jumped up and said they'd not had anyone answer yes to that question and she didn't know what to do. She jumped up and ran in the back, then someone came out and asked me to stand in the hall to wait.

Question:
Ooops - was watching gamers stream last night. Forgot the day and time ... well, the vote question really. Very eye opening watching the professionals play. Will I win a game of Apex Legends playing with Luke and/or Paul?
Results:
No was the clear winner with 100% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes - with both (0%)
- Yes - with Luke only (0%)
- Yes - with Paul only (0%)
- No (100%)
Analysis:
I see that there's not a lot of faith being put into the dream team here. My win rate is about 1 in 5 when I play with William and his friend because they're pretty good. It's about 1 in 25 when I play with randoms as I need to have luck of being drawn with a couple of good players. So far I've not won a game with Luke and Paul, but we've actually been really close on a couple of occasions. I actually think that at some point we'll get lucky and manage to get a win.

Question:
It does look like there's a proverbial light at the end of the tunnel regarding this Covid-19 jobby. Or is there? Do you think there's going to be a second flare up of covid-19?
Results:
Yes and Some in a few countries tied with 50% of the votes each from the following:
- Yes (50%)
- Some in a few countries (50%)
- No (0%)
Analysis:
A tie, but nobody voting for no which means you think there will be at least some kind of second wave if not all over the world. The morbid side of me wants to see what would happen if this came back stronger and had a much higher death rate. I'm curious as to how it would be handled and how the stay at home would work. I'm guessing world-wide pandemonium.

Vote #659
Question:
All this stay at home stuff has led to a different world where people meet and communicate through devices whether it be voice or video. Most work related calls are supposed to be video, but you inevitably get people who are either too shy, haven't showered or aren't wearing trousers so they block the video. There's a lot of people saying that you should keep your normal daily routine and I have to laugh as I'm totally keeping my normal routine. Get up, shower, go sit at my desk for work. I did, however, notice that I made a huge fashion faux pas today. Should I be embarrassed that I've been wearing my T shirt inside out all day?
Results:
No was the clear winner with 80% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (20%)
- No (80%)
Analysis:
Has everyone lost their sense of pride? I get on a lot of calls where people say they don't want to go on camera as they hadn't showered. Well, get a shower then. I should be embarrassed that I had my T shirt on inside out all day, but to be honest, I just laughed. I did think about changing it so it was the right way round and then figured what's the point? It isn't like anyone's going to see me, so I spend the night with my t shirt on inside out as well as all day.

Question:
It seems as if Apex Legends has taken over as the new game of choice. This week is super exciting as there's a new season out with lots of new changes including the introduction of a new Legend, Loba. Loba has been designed to be sexy as she enters the arena to avenge her father's death at the hands of Revenant. I'm sure she'll get lots of attention and gameplay particularly in the first week and it will be interesting to see what the trackers show - how many kills with her, teleports, damage dealt etc. etc. Will there be a tracker in Apex for how many wanks you've had over Loba?
Results:
No was the clear winner with 80% of the votes from the following selection:
- Yes (20%)
- No (80%)
Analysis:
So far they haven’t added that tracker. Not sure I’d have any though. Initially I thought they’d made her quite hot, but kinda gone off her. Probably because her abilities aren’t that great.
