What are the horny young folks gonna do?
And being holed up means in 9 months, next December, there will be a lot more babies than normal.
I fear that this will change the world permanently.
How, I don't know, but the world we've known may not return.
The Maggots wanted to shake things up and it looks like they will get their wish.
Boy will they get it.

And a few months of shelter in place is gonna make people contemptible.

(51,550 posts)They're in the same grade at the same high school (closed on 3-13-2020 due to state-ordered social distancing ) and she lives just 4 blocks away. We've communicated with her parents and we figure whatever germs either teen has, they both have by now. They can continue to hang out at each other's house, but they obviously can't go to movie theaters, restaurants, etc, that's all been shut down by the County. They've been running together in the neighborhood in the mornings (both are athletes). That's about it. I imagine both will get quite antsy as the days drag on. Their youth sports teams have all suspended operations. It is looking like school and sports will be shut down until at least summer. God Help us.

Hell, it cant be worse than some of the fathers I managed to avoid!

(13,485 posts)The world will never be the same. The world we've known will not return... because it never does. This is going to change everything but everything always changes anyway. This is scary and it's not going to be the smoothest months of our lives but it will be a new world when we come out the other side and that's what living on planet earth is all about. Mother earth makes fools of us all in the end... so take a step and here we go....

(6,390 posts)my wife is happy that I'm home. When I'm home I cook breakfast and most of the time, dinner. Add to that, when she says she needs to clean the house I often say "nah, its fine...were not expecting anyone". Plus, when I WFH, I often fix something, granted its a small thing, but its fixed.
