Who was it that was asking about turning bras into face masks?

This gal shows you how to convert those bras into N95s.....

They were all bathing and showering together. Guess I’ll stay away from that.

Boggles the mind how the relatives of people in nursing homes haven’t gotten them out. It’s like they want grandma to die for her money.

What got Chris Martenson freaked out early in February was when he read about a health inspector who visited the Diamond Princess wearing a mask and gloves-and still caught the virus.

Probably not the chicoms, right now.

They shut down all their movie theater’s again a few days ago because ...well...just because.

Restaurants Attempting To Stay Open As Grocery Stores Amid Coronavirus Crisis Hindered By Licensing Laws

“Because grocery stores need to be licensed as grocery stores. I think it’s a pretty straight forward answer,” Ferrer said.

Workers protest at Instacart, Amazon and Whole Foods for health protections and hazard pay

Grocery store, delivery and warehouse workers have unprecedented leverage to demand better working conditions during the coronavirus pandemic because their labor has become essential for millions of Americans

https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2020/03/30/worker-strike-instacart-amazon-whole-foods/

The strike, which is being called for by Instacart shoppers and a newly formed non-profit called Gig Workers Collective, has a list of demands including providing workers with safety items including hand sanitizer, disinfectant wipes, and sprays, hazard pay, and an expansion of its coronavirus pay to include those with underlying health conditions. The workers specified in a Medium post that they wanted an extra $5 per order and a default tip of at least 10% of the order total.

I know.

Too much dependence on the government has created a monster.

“Imagine being trapped (as a cognizant patient) in one of these locked down nursing homes.”

My Dad is trapped in his! They were WELL ahead of the curve, though, and locked things down nearly 5 weeks ago. Staff let me in on Lock Down Day because I’ve gone out of my way to get to know them all...and I didn’t take NO for an answer. ;) I also had to sign my life away and have my temperature taken. I complied.

Luckily, Dad isn’t very cognizant anymore and as long as they keep his 3 meals and snacks coming and a few cups of coffee during the day, he’s happy.

I have been able to talk to him TWICE in 5 weeks; I usually see him every week and sneak in his favorite Chocolate Chip Cookies.

I’m REALLY starting to miss him. He’s a PITA, but he’s MY PITA, Ya Know? ;)

I thought of those crowds weeks ago and thought for sure they’d closed it down a long time ago. Waiting this late is crazy.

Italy. Historical chart of new cases and new deaths.
About a 12 day lag for deaths. Not long enough to be sure.

Getting through this is going to literally take an act of God.

Awww....I’m glad you got to see him on Lock Down Day.

I bet you do miss him. This is hard, on all.

Can you still send him the chocolate chip cookies?

God bless him and these nursing home workers.

They’re usually in a nursing home either because they are way too difficult to take care of at home or because there is absolutely no one to take care of them at home. And/or it’s too expensive to have round-the-clock home care.

Some members of my family paid caretakers a small fortune for several years to avoid sending my father to a nursing home. Not everyone can do that. They decided to do it when he fell during the night living by himself and hit his head on a wall and then drove himself to the ER. The nurses were like “How did you get here?” as this little 90-year-old walks in.

Thanks!

That is so clever.

Did she say D-cup?

I’ll have to get some old bras from my daughters.
