I know it’s alarming what he’s shutting down....clearly an idiot...needless saying there’s a huge push back rising.

I did that yesterday, just before the rains came. I lifts the spirits. Very pleasant.

Oakland County man fourth death in Michigan linked to COVID-19
Beth LeBlanc, The Detroit News Published 9:09 p.m. ET March 20, 2020

A 50-year-old Oakland County man died Friday after being diagnosed with COVID-19, according to a statement from the Oakland County Health Division.

The man’s death is the fourth in Michigan linked to the coronavirus pandemic.

The first three deaths involved Wayne County residents with underlying medical conditions. They include a Southgate man in his 50s, a woman in her 50s and an 81-year-old woman, both from Detroit, according to officials on Thursday.

Shut down the roads .
Other state block all NY plates .
NY will infect the entire country .
Most of the FL infected are New Yorker linked .

[caww]

see post 506....Gov Wolf’s going way too far.

[miserare]

Yeah...this from a guy who used to own a cabinet-making industry.

A little power is a dangerous thing.

[markman46]

lol
I am not allowed to mention the name as i cant speak for them..
they pay me well to ask for overpayments back from hospital and dr’s.

[Jane Long]

Yes.

Linen soaked in THIEVES vinegar was used during the Bubonic Plagues.

I have Thieves inhalers, hand sanitizers and spray. Hoping it helps in some way :-)

[caww]

.....”Most of the FL infected are New Yorker linked “.....

So is PA. I watched NY’s ‘circle of positive tests’ move from their city half way across pa as a direcct result of them Voving out of or traveling to families and friends in Pa.

[miserare]

He closed down rest stops on the interstates in PA.

Now the truckers have nowhere to go to eat, rest, or use the bathroom.

The same truckers who are essential to bring food, medicine, and supplies to the northeast.

Wolf is a maniac.

[DEPcom]

There is rumors of a lock down happening early Monday morning. Delta level is Lock Down level. Not sure if is National or State.

[Mariner]

He is.

But that’s better than Cuomo doing too little.

Fuel deliveries during quarantine:

I deal with the Pac Nw refineries daily, as I transport propane from them to wholesale customers. I have talked to some of the board operators at the refineries, and if they get the order to lockdown there will be two operating shifts inside the wire continuously - until further notice - on twelve hour shifts.

The other two crews will be locked out - and paid.

Since people will be at home using heat, industrial and agricultural users will also still be operating, we will be providing fuel up here regardless. The fuel stations will be open, the natural gas will flow, homes will get heat. Demand for refined fuels will decrease, JetA will decrease, diesel and propane will remain normal.

This is the terminus from the Alaska pipeline, and the crude from ND/WY/MT is shipped here as well. Those feedstocks will continue to flow.

Nuke. China.

Might be past your bedtime.

Abstract
We investigated whether crude hop extracts and purified hop components representing every major chemical class of hop compound have antiviral activity. These hop constituents were tested for antiviral activity against bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) as a surrogate model of hepatitis C virus (HCV), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), influenza A virus (FLU-A), influenza B virus (FLU-B), rhinovirus (Rhino), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), yellow fever virus (YFV), cytomegalovirus (CMV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), and herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and type 2 (HSV-2). The extracts all failed to prevent the replication of HIV, FLU-A, FLU-B, RSV and YFV. A xanthohumol-enriched hop extract displayed a weak to moderate antiviral activity against BVDV (therapeutic index (TI)=6.0), HSV-2 (TI=>5.3), Rhino (TI=4.0) and HSV-1 (TI=>1.9) with IC(50) values in the low microg/ml range. Pure iso-alpha-acids demonstrated low to moderate antiviral activity against both BVDV (TI=9.1) and CMV (TI=4.2) with IC(50) values in the low microg/ml range. No antiviral activity was detected using beta-acids or a hop oil extract. Ultra-pure preparations (>99% pure) were used to show that xanthohumol accounted for the antiviral activity observed in the xanthohumol-enriched hop extract against BVDV, HSV-1 and HSV-2. Xanthohumol was found to be a more potent antiviral agent against these viruses than the isomer iso-xanthohumol. With Rhino, the opposite trend was observed with iso-xanthohumol showing superior antiviral activity to that observed with xanthohumol. Xanthohumol also showed antiviral activity against CMV, suggesting that it might have a generalized anti-herpesvirus antiviral activity. Again, superior antiviral activity was observed with the xanthohumol isomer against CMV. In summary, iso-alpha-acids and xanthohumol were shown to have a low-to-moderate antiviral activity against several viruses. These hop constituents might serve as interesting lead compounds from which more active anti-HCV, anti-Rhino and anti-herpesvirus antiviral agents could be synthesized.

Drink your beer, folks!

[Jane Long]

I think some Fed agency will have to overrule that idiotic decision, of Wolf’s.

[caww]

Absolutely....wolf’s like a wind up doll for Como who’s directing him. when he speaks you can tell he doesn’t know what he’s really saying or why....just following directions.

[Jane Long]

Good news!

Thanks.

Sounds like the energy industry is on top of it.

All the critical industries are standing tall.
