Washington state to close restaurants and bars over coronavirus
Gov. Jay Inslee (D) tweeted that no restaurant in the state will be permitted to serve in-person customers for the foreseeable future, with take-out and delivery services still permitted.
Three of my kids live in the counties surrounding Albany and two work in Albany. Your relatives must have the old Putt-Putt next to the bypass on N Slappey.
This is not going to be pretty if Albany has as many cases as Atlanta. That jerk that came down for a funeral and spread it needs to be flogged like they do in Singapore.
we had a guy come to our ER claim he had visited is sister in Seattle who had covig. got into an ER bed.....only problem is somebody knew him and knew he had no sister in seattle, but was just looking to get his drugs.....
it has to be reiterated....do not go to the ER...call your doctor..he/she will quiz you about your symptoms and tell you what to do...mostly, stay home and take care of yourself.
Yes, several really good butcher shops, nearby.
That sounds like a great deal you got.
You freezer should be well stocked!
I wonder how many in our national defence would consider that since China is the major supplier of all of our medicines and much of our medical equipment...
What if they chose to attack a segment of our population by infecting medicines that are predominantly prescribed for older people or people with diabetes in order to kill off part of our Population as a first strike weapon???
What if they started doing it in the last month with all the scuttlebutt about the new virus?
Seems like a very easy way to kill hundreds of thousands or millions and get away with it at least for a while.
What if the current administration knows that China has something like this planned for us?
What if our planning for the Corona virus is actually cover for setting in place an infrastructure to handle what we know at the highest levels of government may be headed our way?
Would China even blink at the sacrifice of a few million of their people in order to gain global dominance over the USA?
I think we should consider that this could be something like what that they might have up their sleeve in the future... if they dont get their way.
I think i can co sider that this could be the Chinese version of a Cold virus war... aka cold war redux.
That super spreader was a guy from Atlanta who came down for a funeral after being told to self-isolate. Jerk then went out to dinner and visiting. Bet if they did contact tracing they would find that all the cases link back to him.

I got another question that maybe you might answer since nobody else will.
Since I am on COPD meds, and Heart Meds, and I have to stay put per the demands of the local authorities. Will they bring my medication to me at my home?
Now lets multiply that by how many seniors are living at home with medical issues.
And I actually have COPD, and have heart problems.
Can you not order your meds by mail?
Most major drug chains have mail delivery ordering, now.
“ I’m not believing “restocking” is the real reason. What’s the real cause?”
Slowing down buying, disinfecting store, and I think they are running low on employees, some of whom may be getting sick, some have quit.
Lastly. You are a medical professional.
For what it is worth. I had spinal fusion surgery in 1995. One of the recovery nurses happened to call me to deliver a load of firewood-that was when I lived and was in the logging business in the UP of MI.
I took her and her husband 20 full pulp cords and refused payment. Told that gal that she deserved it the way they took care of me.
That load was worth 1600 bucks. Felt good.
Inhalers DO NOT do well in the hot sun in the mail. First thing they tell you, do NOT let those out in the hot air.
I am 67 and I don’t give a damn what the governor says I am roaming free SCREW HIM !!! I have my 90 year old mom living with me I have to take extra precautions for her sake but I will be damned if anyone thinks they are going to tell me I have to stay in the house!! They are NOW forcing business owners to close their businesses, bars, restaurants, gyms,,anything to do with entertaining, skating rinks, gaming places, miniature golfing, bowling alleys!! I am telling you that this shit is scaring me a hell of a lot more than this damn virus, I have lived through EVERY new virus coming into this country ALL of them and this has NEVER, EVER been done in our country before we ALL SURVIVED we got sick and survived!! Some of course did not just as each and every year with the flu BUT the government NEVER took control of our lives and businesses!!!
Politico White House correspondent, interesting read re parabolic infection rate and healthcare system overload:
“I have a very close friend who’s a researcher studying public health at a major NGO, and he told me that this was THE week to practice as much social distancing as possible, even if you don’t have to go to work. I asked him to explain why. Sharing his answers w/ permission (1/x)”

““social distancing “reduces the r naught... or doesn’t?”
Social distancing and quarantine are variations of the same thing.
Stay away from other hosts/humans.
“ This is really scaring me a hell of a lot more than this damn virus”
Give Covid-19 a chance. 14 days, tops.
No- actually I went back and read the article because I was worried, I realized it was Albany, GA. My family is in NY.
“but I will be damned if anyone thinks they are going to tell me I have to stay in the house!! “
If your governor orders it you would do well, a a 67yr old woman (virtually helpless) to do as you are told.
It’s not like you can actually resist.
If you find yourself confined, who will take care of your mom?
The essentials are still in place here (groceries, food open, etc.,) Much shut down though Dewine-Ohio). They needed to think this through for the disabled at minimum.
Okay...what about the heart and BP meds? Can’t they mail those?
Maybe someone (younger) can pick up and deliver your inhaler (and other meds) to you.
