That is what most of the tents are for. But there is simply no place to put them.

Yea, all I did (when I cracked) was to run around the outside of the house a few times screaming “We’re all going to die!!”, and then I got back to prepping.

It doesn’t have the heart lung machinery capacity. Remember these ships are for battle wounds. They are set up in wards. Beds right next to each other.

They are big Petri dishes. Those things will be full of Covid by the end of next week.

I am not saying it was a bad idea...but without fast tests, this thing is already on the ship.

New York state reports 8,669 new cases of coronavirus and 197 new deaths in morning update, raising total to 92,381 cases and 2,373 dead


deaths are down at least .....about 200 less then this time yesterday...

505 total deaths yesterday...if NYC has another 150 in the evening update ....that wold mean 150 less deaths in NY state then yesterday

and the daily death USA toll will have a hard time making it to 1000 again

Their initial plan was “Pray to Allah. (They) are praying hard.”

That was a quote from the health minister. It worked for almost a month.

I’m not sure there are enough restaurants around here to actually SPEND 1000 a month on?

I can’t see how we’d EVER spend $300/month on ‘transportation’. We don’t have enough gas cans/storage for that much gas.

What a nutjob.

We need to toss him in the East River.

I read yesterday that Shanghai came up with 2000,000 additional teu’s (containers) in storage space to hand line incoming raw materials.

Not only are they not putting out much, they don’t have the people or transport, or need for materials coming IN to China.

China is not open. You need only read the stats on production to know that. Non CCP numbers are out there.

Just did quick math.

That’s $30/day at the Sonic nearest us. Or the McD’s.

I’m not gonna bash Sonic, we have it as a treat every cpl months.

But hell if I’m going to feed my family crap once a day for a month.

Hell no.

I am sorry to hear that. I will add her to my daily prayer list. It takes longer to go through that every day.

They are willing to sacrifice millions in order to get their 401(k) up. What they don’t seem to realize is they will end up killing both.

They are greedy and ignorant. They seem to think they cannot leave their basements...but they don’t realize they never went anywhere to begin with.

Sonic can’t feed you and your neighbors at that volume. As it is we can’t crowd the workers into the small restaurant kitchen space in a lot of situations. Then you’ve got situations such as in CT right now, when you’re not supposed to have more than 5 people gathering.

Just all around a horrifically bad solution for the current situation.

It would “end” fast.

Most hospitals have a week’s worth of limited generator power. Phone and internet would fail. Deliveries would cease.

It would take “just a little” longer to recover from that.

I was thinking of getting some of these:

Neck Warmer Gaiter - Windproof Ski Mask - Cold Weather Face Motorcycle Mask

My local Wally World was almost normal yesterday, except they were notably out of TP (wiped out still) and very low on other paper products. Almost anything for sanitizing & disinfecting also gone. Meats ok, canned goods and bakery goods low, baking goods low, rice, beans and other such staples low or out. Soda mostly in good supply, fruit juices low. Fresh produce and milk / dairy were in good supply. Aldi much the same story.

WalMart seemed to have about normal traffic for the time of day, Aldi was slow (but near closing time). Gas station (normally busy) was slow.

I saw one person beside myself in WM with a mask (I was wearing a scarf-over-mask), one with a scarf-as-mask, none elsewhere. One shopper wearing gloves, I think all employees were. No goggles anywhere or in previous trips, for that matter.

There is a mind-set change in progress.

It will be years before people want to go into restaurants in anywhere near the numbers they did before this hit, regardless of what “scientists” say.

This is similar to what happened in the depression—people who lived through that period were still hoarding bent nails and old toys for the rest of their lives.

I'm going to ignore the debit card topic. My personal experience is working 70 hour weeks. My wife works 4 X 10 hour shifts. Night shift. We see each other about 2 hours each day. That is for dinner. Before the COVID-19 lockdown, we did that at Applebee's, Texas Roadhouse, Chili's, locally owned restaurants. Places that employ lots of minimum wage staff scraping out a living waiting tables and cooking food. It is good for the local economy and gives my wife and me a break from our hard charging work schedule.

That's not happening now. We're still working the same hours, but now we just cook dinner while dodging the 8 dogs who want to see us. We eat, wash dishes and resume work. The restaurants are closed down. A few have restricted menu take out. The Applebee's manager will do take out until the food stock in the building is gone, then will shut it down. The grocery shopping we would do after dinner isn't happening now.

I certainly don't live a luxury life style. The servers and businesses that I used to be able to support in exchange for an hour away from the work grind are going to be in tough shape. I don't subscribe to handing out cash just to prop up the economy. That money doesn't grown on trees. It is being stolen from our bank accounts by debasement of the currency.

I have one of those. It’s from Klim. It’s made from neoprene. Unless you are getting hit by winds of 30 miles per hour, it is difficult to breathe. Keeps your neck warm in late October or March.
