An article I saw said the streets will still be open to residents. It’s just closing them to through traffic and keeping the heavy traffic on the arteries.

OK, through traffic, that's a help.

We still are not getting enough N95 masks to the front lines.

The ones we bought got "diverted at customs." I hope Trump gets a decent price from the Russians for them.

There's a factory in Texas that had 4 idle machines for making N95 masks. back in January he was getting orders for a couple thousand a month when suddenly he got orders for 700,00 in a week. He alerted the the government to this buying frenzy from overseas and offered to provide them to our country before exporting. First they ignored him then insulted him. Our government was buying them from overseas through American brokers for between $5 and $6 each. After the politically connected brokers pretty much exhausted their connection they finally gave the Texas dude an order for 1 million masks. He's charging them $0.79 each... and still has 4 machines standing idle.

First potential tropical storm appears to be headed for the gaggle of empty cruise ships hiding out at sea. It may form in two days. So far, most ships are remaining.
First four storms will be Arthur, Bertha, Cristobal and Dolly. Meanwhile, the Port of Miami has all docks full of cruise ships. Maybe being resupplied? Or maybe preparing to restart operations? From financial news, these cruise ship lines did not have problem raising money. Despite cries of bankruptcy, large corporations (even foreign cruise ship companies) can obtain all money needed from American financial markets. Its the little guy who banks tend to ignore.

Trump is in PA trying to gin up the anti-mask crowd. Lil'G started her vacation today. Unfortunately, one of her boys spiked a fever during her last shift and apparently a staff member had to go home with a fever today. 3 kids are being tested one negative so far...

I've always thought that I could hold up under waterboarding for somewhat longer than average because I use a neti pot so often. It's basically just willfully drowning yourself in saltwater--but boy does it get the job done (the neti pot, I mean, not the torture.)

You should send that to the CIA as a suggestion for inclusion in their interrogation resistance program.

Hmmm... sounds like an easy change to make.
