Yes, I mentioned the new high of daily cases. However, there’s been so much ripple in the curve that I am not too troubled by it... yet. Give that trend another 3 or 4 days, and we have a significant additional problem brewing. For now, though, I am more worried that despite the massive effort / cost to slow it, the bleeding is not staunched.
I’m worried about the food supply at the moment. I suggest people top off meat during the next week or so. If you can afford it go in with some folks and buy a cow from a local farmer, and have it butchered at a small shop.
It’s actually better (if you get grass fed) and cheaper in the long run anyway. We do a whole cow every 2 years for a family of 4.
Because in spite of ‘lockdown’, people just mass congregated at walmart and other ‘open’ stores every day. Bored? Plop the family in the car and everybody go to walmart and troll the electronics department with 100 of your best friends and neighbors.
Just moved the spreading from the barber shops, beauty parlors and sitdown restaurants to the electronics department at walmart.
The day after ‘we’ locked down, the closest walmart was completely packed, parking lot completely full, cars parked on the side of the road up and down. More crowded than black Friday has ever been. Entire families going shopping. Including the grandparents. Masses of people loitering about outside the store in giant gaggles of disease transmission. Because with nowhere ELSE left to go and walmart on the list of ‘essential’ stores, that’s what went for entertainment.
Result? Walmart will have a stellar quarter. The little mom/pop shops that were closed? probably out of business. The virus? not slowed down one bit, just changed lanes from transmission avenues A to transmission avenues B.
Overall result? People conclude the lockdowns didn’t work.
How are YOU doing, by the way? Were they able to fix your tooth?
