Dang!! The Davis Mountain area looks (on the CV maps) to be THE safest place in the state.

I guess they’re just trying to keep it that way.

Yeah, and what good are the colleges closing going to do when all the kids are on spring break somewhere warm?

It should be very interesting to see what happens in the next 2-4 weeks after this thing has incubated in whoever has it.

If it’s spread like it has the potential to, we haven’t seen anything yet.

#breaking 70-year-old Japanese man — a Diamond Princess passenger who tested negative — has now tested positive AGAIN. He was hospitalized on Feb 14, tested negative on March 2 & went home. On March 14, he had a high temperature & was re-tested and diagnosed positive a 2nd time.

What’s the reasoning there? Not enough staff to keep up with more shoppers in the wee hours?

Unfortunately, this will “concentrate” people during the remaining hours.

“ Truckers are still working.

Just think of the chaos if they shut down....”

They are all going to get sick at the same time. As are the people who operate the truck stops. How do you clean the truck stop showers without getting sick? How do sick truck stop employees not get hundreds of truckers sick?

Many truckers have poor health and underlying conditions. What will their morbidity rate be?

If you are at a truck stop, and start feeling really sick, you can’t drive to the doctor. You call 911. But the hospitals are full. They tell you to self quarantine in the truck. How many drivers will die in their trucks?

Remember those videos of people in China collapsing on the street? What happens when the trucker collapses while driving?

Wrong. The FED death rate is based on estimated cases, not confirmed cases as it should be.

“After distributing free meals to hundreds of families at Chavez High School Saturday morning, HISD added 31 campuses to its list of locations where families can pick up free meals next week.” What could go wrong? Each kid gets 28 meals per kit.

Some people are poor. They will remain poor during this pandemic. Hopefully, the skrewels doing this are following the highest sanitation procedures and keeping sick people from distributing the food.

I bought one of those some years ago and mr. mm, who was (until the last couple weeks) never much on board with the prepping thing, asked me the usual...”Do we really need that?”

Then shortly after I bought it, he tried vacuum sealing some items and put them in the freezer, just to see what happened.

He is now the vacuum sealer master in the house. I bring home the meat and he whips it out and has a GREAT time.

I love the vacuum sealers I’ve seen in Runnings that come in camo.

“I researched it, and over 90 percent of bathroom tissue manufactured for the USA, and the supplies it takes to make it, is from right here in the USA.”

I guess just not the Extra Strength Charmin usually we use... :-(

How much of the total is that horrid institutional stuff you need 5 miles of to not poke through if cleaning up after "#2"?

Drivers would hate it, but I’d sure like to see them tested weekly.
For their sake... and for general info.
