Quarantine camps?

Essential. Would have worked - three weeks ago.

I proposed Midway Island, 10 000 tents and fresh water. Molokai next, for sentimental reasons.

Woulda coulda shoulda. It's much too late now.

I still have clients booking for the last week in March into Early April for Spring Break...

Last night spoke with a client whose business has curtailed all unnecessary business travel. Guess what she is doing...you got it...business trip cancelled so she’s booking vacay time in Florida that week? SMH

OK...

I really, really do believe Americans have an incredible sense of normalcy bias happening.

I sent my siblings an email on events here in Seattle.

My older sister: “Thanks. We’re pretty oblivious to it all as we are on vacation. Tomorrow we fly to XYZ, then drive to ABC and spend several days there. Then over to 1234 to visit with friends, then flying home. Beautiful weather here - hope you are doing well.”

In response to the demand increase, Publix has instituted purchasing limits on some items, Maria Brous, a spokesperson for the company, told McClatchy News on Sunday. Customers will be limited to two of each.

The items include:

Hand soap

Hand sanitizer

Rubbing alcohol

Face masks

Gloves

Disinfectant wipes and sprays

Tissues

Cups, plates and eating utensils

Bleach

Other major retailers already have similar restrictions in place.

"The decline of the social culture in the US will come home to roost."

I can't say that I disagree with that...

Good news is that the doubling went to every three days this weekend. Maybe Sunday diminished testing. Who knows.

At the three day rate, we’re at 8800 US cases on March 21.

Just watching the numbers at this point.

1586 tests up to Friday. We will hit 50,000 tests by next Friday.

Testing limited the expansion. It is a wasted excercise to predict numbers today. The entire playing field changes during the week.

I know copper does, not sure about gold..

Interesting it doesn’t say he died from the coronavirus. He died after testing positive.

Same response from my conservative friend in California!

Maybe we are over-reacting? I dunno know as it just seems surreal that massive parts of the world are in q’s and lockdowns?

The other part is the young people saying...it’s just the flu...it’s just another bad flu...not realizing that this time it isn’t about the death rate, it is about about the severity and the high potential to be hospitalized for weeks?

The keep talking about the death rate and co-morbidity, but I want to know the age range of those hospitalized under 60 yrs. old.

“Americans could do with less A/C. Offices and schools have done themselves a great deal of harm installing windows that don’t open.”

Same with homes, but at least they have windows. Before building our home, I had heard of people getting sick in sealed up homes, so I made a ‘few’ mistakes in its construction - and our house breathes reasonably well, even with the windows closed and AC on, here in Texas.
