Coronavirus (non political)

CRedskinsRule · 03-16-2020, 06:21 PM

not a fan of bing, but decent tracker from Microsoft here:

https://www.bing.com/covid

China had 80,880 cases, in a country far more densely populated then the US, and they currently have 9,848 active cases.

I think that actually bodes well for the US. The US population density is 33 people per sq. km vs China at 146. Likewise Italy is 200 people per.

No one, and definitely not me, knows what course this will run, but given the natural space the US has, and the response at all levels of government, I truly think that we will avoid the Italian or Chinese levels, even while we maintain our uniquely independent lives.

They say it may not be able to get under control until late July or August. Hope they can work harder and faster to get it done. Has put the world on hold and notice.

I heard on the radio some of the resorts in Vegas are shutting down.

Maryland - restaurants and bars closing at 5 pm today. Delivery and take out allowed.

My office is still open.

Commute is 25 mins vs the normal 50 plus mins.

Now they have done it. I heard some areas are closing down Alcohol sales. I'm heading to the ABC store right away.

Dispensary just sent me a text saying "WE ARE STILL OPEN" ... which clearly means they will be suspended/closing in a matter of days.

My weed stash and my food stash are at conflicting odds with each other.

Banks going to appointment only.

Why people bank still face to face blows my mind. I have not been in a bank other then a ATM in years.

I think from this our country will learn how well we can run with alot of folks working from home. There are still so many Boomers out there that think if you are at home you are slacking off.

There so many out date processes still going on that computers and the internet can solve in regards to people interaction; some folks just don't want let go.

Tell me about it, when the new commissioner for Social Security took over he immediately canceled all telework. That seriously blew up in his face.

So we have a sign on our door telling customers we are not taking cash payments (we get very few) because of the virus. The people still come in and look so confused about not being able to make a cash payment. One lady came in with a check and I told her to keep the check. We will process her payment electronically so we don't have to handle checks. She too looked so confused and it took forever for me to explain it will process just like a check but it will not show a check number. I finally decided today we are locking the door and they can just call the office.
