Time to stay calm and continue on....
Yesterday's thread is here:

This needs to be repeated. We don't need the $250K high tech computerized units that can treat anyone from neonatal to geriatric, with fancy touch screens, wi-fi and remote monitoring. We need 10's of thousands of basic adult low tech ventilators that can be made very quickly.
Thanks. I’m supposed to stay away from ibuprofen /aspirin because of potential platelet issues.
Commonwealth Day just passed and they were all together at the family church services. And Prior to that, a three day tour in Ireland with lots of kids and locals:

photo gallery, Commonwealth Svc., showing seating, but the last photo in the lineup is my fav :
Kate looked uneasy at CD for several reasons, one being they were told no handshaking or close greetings and watch distances as well as returning petulance.
I hope Balmoral is well stocked. And the children in Scilly.
LOL!!!! It’s a Purell Plot. ;)

BREAKING: Catalonia orders lockdown of Igualada and several other municipalities in northeast Spain due to coronavirus
Yeah it’s better than nothing, to be sure. I just picked up groceries from Walmart pickup. Didn’t get near the guy (they will sign for you if you ask!) - opened trunk, in they went, said thanks and off the nice guy went. Encouraged him to stay safe!
But when I got home after touching the boxes, etc - left them on stairs until tomorrow, and went upstairs and washed hands like crazy.
My problem isn’t with washing hands. It’s with people misunderstanding that it will somehow keep them safe - which has been a MANTRA for weeks. It will not, in fact, keep anybody safe - only social distancing can truly do that.
Agreed! (I saw with dry hands from all the washing I just did - even after just doing grocery pickup!)

Yep, you are DEAD-ON. I’ve been trying to get the point across in different ways, but not as effectively as you just did.
I think Trump needs to reeducate all he is fighting this virus .
China left its borders open intentionally after the virus leaked out .
They wanted the West to suffer by spreading this bioweapon .
They knew exactly what they were doing .
They closed there stock markets too when announcing it . They blocked WHO from finding the source which is not bat soup. It was clever and sneaky .
Its was a Act of War on the west .
We need to throw all of the Chinese students aka spies and all there dual citizens home and work visas back there .
Taiwan was not fooled and they did a complete shut down which worked .
China has been colonize us and the world for too long and this attack was it .
Italy has a large China colony there that is why china sent medical equipment .
I read the conference was in S Fl .
I think West Palm Beach .
She drives to St. Louis daily —spends 3 hrs on the road for a round trip—so that’s a good thing.
Wow—so much free time without the long commute. She may grow to love working at home!
*****************************************************************************************
Exactly!! Actually she already does. In her former job she had opportunities to do that when the weather was bad etc. So she was on cloud nine. But the first thing that came to my mind was she’ll really hate going back to regular work time. LOL
She hopes that it will give management a chance to be more flexible in the future. She likes her new job, but the boss wouldn’t allow working from home—computer security concerns was always the stated issue.
Still, such good news for now.
Why did the other passengers get to leave ?
This guy and his wife need to be charged .

sorry I don’t know which post you mean - if the the Olsterholm interview, you can cut and paste this:

Hey thanks Bob, made my day a little.
Hard to say anything can make my day right now - it isn’t really all that great to have been banging a gong for 7 weeks, and see that today crap is exploding everywhere - because all of us who’ve been on this thread a while know where this is going, and that is a really ugly place. I’ve got my 3 kids and hub isolated. My 70+ mother in Seattle is also pretty much isolated in her condo, which is good. But I’ve got 2 brothers in Atlanta who are both pretty big “life my life no matter what” kind of deniers - and 1 is 63 yrs old, very active in community and work, and he is far more worried about his bank account - and thinks the way to ensure the good times keep rolling it to keep traveling and eating out.
And I’m not ready to see him hooked up to a ventilator, but arguing with him won’t help a bit.
So I feel pretty gloomy!
But Alaska has stepped up - they declared emergency yesterday before 1st case (which came today) - they closed Anchorage schools today, and UAA also went online. So I know our community is finally taking measures - even if people still think we’re nutso for isolating. They’ll see in 2 weeks exactly why - hopefully by watching elsewhere, maybe we’ll get the good beat and things don’t go south fast here!
