So I walked down the escalator. You would think that walking down a stopped escalator (I am assuming you mean that it was stopped?) is fine. I mean, when an escalator is not moving, it is stairs, right? But no, typically you are not allowed to walk up or down stopped escalators. The safety codes are different from stairs. We had some underground transit stations here that were built with no regular stairs. Only escalators and elevators. (There were emergency exit stairwells.) When the escalators broke down, they made everyone take the elevators, which could not handle the volume of people. It was a real mess. They eventually decided that in the future if the escalators broke down, they would open up the emergency exit stairwells. Just using the escalators as stairs was out of the question. Didn't meet safety codes. No, the escalator was moving. And its the ramp type so you can move the shopping cart onto. If you flown through O'Hare on United and had to go from concourse B to C, you've seen the moving walkway. So the ones in Costco are like that, just on an incline. I think they made people stand on the escalator to slow the traffic entering the warehouse.

How many of you have worries that you will gain weight and loose fitness while being stuck at home all day?

How many of you have worries that you will gain weight and loose fitness while being stuck at home all day? Already did it. Went on runs the past few days and felt absolutely awful after. Spending 3 weeks off because of extended spring break and not having sports is bad for me.

I honestly am starting to feel like I'm playing Russian Roulette. Not with catching the damned thing, because that's going to happen. But catching it to such a degree that it kills me. It really seems pretty damned random.

It really seems pretty damned random. Yes, it is unpredictable for an individual. I selfishly worry more about other people dying--they will handle my death better than I would theirs. Of course I'm an empty nester whose parents are deceased. I know it is much more difficult for others.

I just want the “right” people to die.

I honestly am starting to feel like I'm playing Russian Roulette. Not with catching the damned thing, because that's going to happen. But catching it to such a degree that it kills me. It really seems pretty damned random. 1. Do you have diabetes? 2. Are you fat? (BMI > 30) 3. Do you have a heart condition? 4. Do you have high blood pressure? 5. Are you older than Bill Clinton? 6. Are you immunocompromised? 7. Do you have a lung/breathing issue like asthma? Any of the above and it could get dicey if you catch it.

Sure. 3 of 7. But it's a mistake to believe we know more about this thing than we do. It still seems pretty random. No one is safe. Some people may be SAFER, but no one is safe.

Just imagine what would happen to the vapors...people who uses e-cigs. We've seen the devastating effects it has on the lungs, and if they come down with the coronavirus its going to be deadly.

I needed food. Went out shopping today. This was the first day I've been out since March 22.
If I get sick now, at least I'll know which day I got infected.

Filled up yesterday. Gas was $1.99 at Sam’s Club. With nowhere to go, this tank will probably last 3 months.

Well, with all the barbershops and hair salons closed, my hair is a mess. I look like a hippie now. It's the longest it has ever been in my entire life. I should've seen this coming when the stay-at-home orders were issued. I guess I could just get my wife to cut my hair but I'm not comfortable with her handling scissors so close to my face.
