GA

An employee at one of Georgia’s state prisons has tested positive for COVID-19, the Georgia Department of Corrections said Wednesday.

While the GDC did not disclose which of the 34 state prisons the affected employee was assigned to, the department said there are no positive cases reported among the prison population. The GDC is working to mitigate spread of the virus, the statement added.

Georgia’s correctional system is one of the largest in the country, with over 10,000 employees and 54,000 state prisoners.

I know that recruitment of technical Project Managers is WAY up in pwer/gas/network infrastructure and medical. My phone is ringing off the hook, email 20 per day.

I’m retired now, but might to respond to the call of duty.

Just FYI for folks here: If I stop showing up to the daily thread, I answered the call. Even though I didn’t want to.

Well, luck to her. I hope she avoids the bats, pangolins and other oddities.

It is well known that fresh air and sunshine were highly effective in defeating the Spanish flu.

I plan to sit out in my backyard and catch some rays...

Highly recommend to all concerned about catching the corona flue

I know what’s on the other side so I am not afraid of being dead, but it’s the process that I have to go through to get there that I am not looking forward to.

18 months sounds about right. There will be small gaps of near-normalcy. For those gaps, I recommend that us non-FluBros STOCK UP on as much as possible (the FluBros will still be whining about the fact that the Coronavirus has ‘only killed’ 150,000 Americans, when cancer kills twice as many, or something like that).

Be ready to grab as much as you can when things ease up a bit, and then let the FluBros enjoy the lines at Costco, since they’ll be convinced the entire ‘fraud’ is over while we’re re-stocking.

“Correcting a math error in my post- I ended up paying $6 a gallon for soy milk, due to there being zero other choices.”

The freedom to price-compare will be gone for a long time. Be happy if you find what you want, regardless of price.

The Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA) Regional Offices will be closed to the public starting March 19.

Regional offices will remain open, but will no longer accept walk-ins for claims assistance, scheduled appointments, counseling and other in-person services. This decision protects our older Veterans and those with underlying conditions as well as our employees.

Veterans can continue to get information about benefits or file a claim for benefits by visiting our website at www.va.gov. Veterans with claims specific or other questions may request information via Inquiry Routing & Information System (IRIS) or telephone at 1-800-827-1000.

It seems that this area of WA. state is the epicenter of this thing it has been reported that the care workers in these assisted living facilities are of Chinese decent!! Makes me wonder if they traveled to China over the holidays and brought the damn thing back with them!! I honestly believe this thing has been in our country since Dec. and many have recovered, I believe many of the elderly have also passed away hospitals blaming it on the flu!!!

I certainly hope that's the case. At 7 am this morning, my Food Lion looked like a bomb had gone off, not one that physically destroyed the store, but rather one that removed most of the food and other items from the shelf.

Even the produce section was nearly empty.

Go the day before Trump releases the first round of cash. There will be NOTHING LEFT on the shelves afterwards.
