The grocery store is open. So is McDonald's, Taco Bell, and Auto Zone. Working on little projects. Hell, I'm fine.
No self isolation and lock down in Colorado Springs???The grocery store is open. So is McDonald's, Taco Bell, and Auto Zone. Working on little projects. Hell, I'm fine.
That’s a lot on your plate sir.....super glad your wife pulled through.I’m still working, wife has to as front line caregiver. The whole vibe had changed, though. Everyone is nervous. We all just want to get through this.
One of wife’s coworkers died of cancer this afternoon. Late thirties, two young kids. Got cancer same time as wife, wife survived, coworker didn’t. There’s much other heartbreak besides Coronavirus, yet it dominates. Nobody can comfort her family, nobody could visit her before she died. It just sucks.
Rings a bell... this are pics from 1918, during the Spanish flu, one is from a news paper in Mexico, warning the society about the risks of the pandemic, and guess what else, yes social distance, the use of masks, no reunions, wash your hands constantly eat healthy, no alcohol and stay home, the same precautions we have today, not much of a progress during a pandemic 102 years later.Anybody that thinks this is a joke? Watch the Smithsonian channels story on the Spanish Flu during 1918. If you're not convinced by then?

Agree, I hope most don't look at this as a joke as it's rather compelling seeing our front line folks overwhelmed and under-equipped despite incredible efforts to ramp up. And it should be evident as hospitals need refrigerated trailers parked out back to house the deceased for who knows how long before they can be laid to rest that our cooperation is vital..Anybody that thinks this is a joke?

Well lucky you. Dont get to complacent with the idea all is well.I don't see it as a joke, but there is no real evidence of a pandemic around here. Unfortunately orders aren't coming in at work so next week might be our last for awhile.
Went to Wal-Mart last night; lots of toilet paper on the shelves. Eggs at Braums are $3.49 a dozen. All the staples are back in stock. Looks like the panic is subsiding.
Out here in sorta rural Tx we have only been to the grocery 3 times in the last 6 weeks I saw my first roll of TP yesterday it was one of three rolls No price was shown, we walked past as we still have TP, but picked up some paper napkins close as we have been to paper towels!!I don't see it as a joke, but there is no real evidence of a pandemic around here. Unfortunately orders aren't coming in at work so next week might be our last for awhile.

Our prayers are with your daughter and family, yes this is very real here in the motor cityWait until you are diagnosed with it, someone you know has. That will change how you feel about it. My Daughter works at Henry Ford Hospital as a medical assistant. She was diagnosed positive from helping all of the patents that have it. This is some serious **** no matter where you are located.
