Just think. Ten months till Christmas.
This is the continuation of the Thread.
After the last 4:30 AM Sunday grocery run, I stripped down to my skivvies and threw my outer clothes in the washer before lubing my hands up with hand sanitizer and entering the house.
Does that count?
My shoes are still in the garage, the groceries are still in the car...

There was a twitter thread yesterday where a family had been to a super bowl party, got sick and the niece has pneumonia. No one will test her for corona. They have asked to be tested and told she doesn’t qualify.
IOW, they are going to hide it until they can’t hide it anymore.
FWIW, I watched Tucker Carlson tonight. He had a Bernie supporter who was actually well spoken and kinda hot too - but I digress.
Tucker seems to think that if things get worse, both medically and economically, thru the summer and early fall, that this bodes well for Bernie Sanders. He said Sanders’ message, especially free medical care, plays well among, as he put it, blue collar workers. This is obviously a voting bloc that Trump has to maintain and even increase his level of support.
In short, he believes that Bernie’s message would play very well in troubled times.
I agree, great suggestions. Sorry if It seemed like I minimized that with my aerosol comment, it just popped into my head
Agree!
I agree. I saw an update today about that niece. She’s in quarantine now based on symptoms, but still hasn’t been tested.
Don’t dare call it a pandemic.
(Although Lou Dobbs and Jim Cramer are calling it that.)
That airhead’s name, on Tucker’s show, tonight, is Krystal Ball.
I kid you not.
Anywho...yes...let’s show lines of people in Venezuela and other Commie countries trying to get basic healthcare....especially during a pandemic.
Heck...just replay the vids of the poor people of China, who showed up at hospitals...then, a day later, lined the corridors as corpses.
NOT a good image, for ComradeTheCommie Bernie.
I think most blue collar people, who work hard for their $$ AND their good insurance, don’t want anything to do with “FREE” (you get what you pay for) “healthcare”.
Only the moochers want that.
WHO is kissing Beijing butt ….
I’ll bite, who?

Hospice patients have nowhere to go amid spread of COVID-19

After the government designated state-run medical institutions as hospitals exclusively responsible for treating COVID-19 patients, terminally ill patients at their hospice centers received an abrupt notice to find another place to stay.
However, other hospitals for palliative care said they were already full, leaving hospice patients at a loss.

Hmmm...
Have you ever been in the position of working for a small or medium size manufacturer and having to “re-source” a custom import part from a new supplier in a new country of supply?
I have, multiple times.
In rare cases, everything goes smoothly, Mr. Murphy stays away, the global supply of Acetaminophen is not dented, the bean counters defer their plans for murder, and you actually have production quantity parts hit your warehouse, pass inspection, and are loaded to run. All that in 3-4 months.
More typically, you’re on the 2nd “new” vendor, it took ‘em 3 samplings (each 3-4 weeks apart) to get the SAMPLES “right”, then 2 pre-production runs to get THAT right, “Murphy” knows you better than your wife, Tylenol stocks have risen 45%, the bean counters have reportedly left to procure honey and ants, and you are cursing some inexplicable holdup of the 1st production parts shipment in Customs... 7 months after you started.
With luck, that’s US Customs and not your new vendor’s country’s Customs Agency.
The “ripple” effects are considerable too.
Ok, I spiced that up slightly, but the time frames are not unusual. And the bean counters don’t really buy honey and ants. They merely suggest a low price source to your boss. For axes. The production manager concurs.
Now multiply that for dozens of parts for a typical modest size company.
At least the new vendor thinks you are great and may hint they have a position open.
(I never did actually get fired for any such problem. Nobody else wanted the headaches!)
That’s because most of them went to one church. The main infectious disease official for the disease went to that church.
The Chinese are in Italy replicating fashion on the cheap.
Sounds how I basically live anyway (with a bad immune system)
