Yep we import a lot of TP, but fortunately most of it comes from Indonesia?? and Canada. These 2 are not yet COVID-19 hotspots so imports should continue? Unless truckers and rail workers start getting sick I guess.

Cruise ships have been a known weak link for quite a few years. Seems like at least two cruises every year have a bunch of sick passengers.

I coated my feet with peanut butter...

Everybody... go to the fridge NOW and test this...

Can’t Smell Peanut Butter? Alzheimer’s May Be the Culprit

Although it may sound bizarre, a new study reports that this method is a promising way to confirm a disease diagnosis.

Researchers at The University of Florida asked over 90 participants to smell a spoonful of peanut butter at a short distance from their nose. Some participants had a confirmed early stage Alzheimer’s diagnosis, some had other forms of dementia, while others had no cognitive or neurological problems.

I agree nautinurse “just for the almighty dollar”’is unfair to most.

We aren’t working for new gold jewelry.

We have rent (foreclosure?) food. Car payments (repossession). Debt that if unpaid can ruin our credit score. Utilities. Telephone. Kids! Tuition! Gasoline! It’s no small thing no ruin an economy. Many never recover. Health insurance! I doubt many want to lose their health insurance right now...

It may to some degree at some point become necessary but it is not usually worship of the almighty dollar.

It’s not a panic attack, it’s actually very simple.

If management feels it’s too dangerous for THEM to shake hands and take money at the gate, it’s too dangerous for ANYONE to do so and it’s time to shut down.

Why should the temp workers and bottom rung take the risks while management hunkers down behind HEPA filters and ozone generators, or ‘work from home’?

They’re greeters, not people who risk their lives to help people. We’re not talking firefighters, SEALs or LEOs.

It’s no different than the airline pilots who stopped flying the routes to infected zones. And for the same reason.

Management and bean counters weren’t taking the risk to fly those routes, THEY were.

The employees are not slaves. They can choose whether to assume the risk or not. The adults anyway.

I run usually 97.8 F on average. Lot hotter. Oh. You are not compensating. Forehead is colder than throat. Butt is warmer than Throat. Let me see the instructions. Add 0.5 to 1.0 Degree F to forehead temp to get throat temp. You are not that cold.

True.

Doesn’t make the executives less immoral though.

Disney is an immoral company though. I expect no less of them.

Where are your factual sources to dispel all the alleged misinformation?

instead of just criticizing, post something of substance.

‘The new normal’: China’s excessive coronavirus public monitoring could be here to stay

Michele Emiliano, the president of Puglia, signed an order on Sunday obliging all those arriving from the north in the coming hours to go into quarantine.

“Get off at the first train station, don’t take planes to Bari and Brindisi, go back by car, get off the bus at the next stop,” he wrote on Facebook, mostly addressing people from the region who live in the north. “Do not bring the Lombardy, Veneto and Emilia epidemic to your Puglia. You are carrying the virus into the lungs of your brothers and sisters, your grandparents, uncles, cousins and parents.”

Three inmates died after a riot at a prison in Modena broke out when detainees were informed that the emergency decree banned visits from relatives to reduce infections.

Prisoners in Pavia took two prison officers hostages as news of the restrictions triggered other jail riots in Salerno, Naples, Alessandria, Vercelli, Bari, Palermo, Foggia and Frosinone.

I notice a large drop off in new cases today. 200 total new cases with the past three days was over 4,000 new cases.

OK.

I had been seeing so many different scenarios, that I wasn’t sure if they were changing what they knew as this thing spread and developed, or if they were just learning more of how it worked and fine tuning it.
