Brits just got the order to stay at home 3 weeks

Philadelphia region just got the stay at home order for 2 weeks today

Flint · 03-23-2020, 04:03 PM

Oregon "stay home" order started today, with no defined end-date.

On Saturday, the coast was overrun by tourists, and by Sunday every little town full of retired seniors and maybe one ICU bed had passed their own "DON'T COME HERE" ordinance. So the State-wide order is very welcome.

The husband of one of the ladies that runs the little outfit I work for owns and runs a grocery store. He is working and staying outside the home for fear of bringing it home. Brutal. They previously stopped the kids from working there. This thing is tearing people apart and yet some folks don't take it seriously at all. She also told me a home bound old-timer in their area recently tested positive. Somebody brought it to him.

Cuomo has a "forward" team for recommendations for turning life back on, but it seems like we're a long damn way from that.

Keene Valley NY is in a similar position to Flintlandia. They're begging tourists to stay away. They don't have health facilities for this kind of thing.

One confirmed positive in my county. We're a 25-bed facility (total).

I hope this permanently cripples the Airbnb trade in our area, we already couldn't afford housing because of predatory land-lording. It only takes one unanticipated event to shine a light on how razor-thin the ice we've been skating on is.

Governor Jay "The Snake" Inslee has ordered Washington residents that are not essential to shelter in place, exempting those that help us fight this outbreak, food and agriculture, critical government operations, the media, and he mentioned others, but I couldn't transcribe fast enough. "Restaurants, go to takeaway service asap."

"Enforceable by law."

People are saying that the federal government is already mobilizing specialized units, with state-of-the-art tracking technology, to ensure no isolation violations will be perpetrated by the Easter Bunny.

We're on top of this one.

Since all available eggs are in use creating that vaccine the president says is almost here, then the Easter Bunny will have no eggs to distribute. Even the Easter Bunny is unemployed?

Maybe we will only have a chocolate Easter.

Beer manufacturers and distributors are open. Are chocolate factories and stores open? Read the fine print .

In the same newscast, these figures were reported:

2200 confirmed cases
110 deaths.

3 hours in the air so is 2m enough?
4 hours on copper so cover every often touched surface with copper foil.
24 hours on cardboard so let those Amazon boxes sit on the porch for a day.
3 days on stainless and plastic so wipe those bad boys with some of that booze you're swigging.

“Up to” 3 hours.

Truth is, the virus starts “dying” almost immediately. If you looked at a graph of the number of live viruses on a surface after a person sneezes on it, it would look like a graph of the stock market over the last week. The number of living viruses begins plummeting almost immediately.

But sure, wash your hands. Don’t lick the pizza box.
