Costco in Staten Island, NY, has at least 4 employees who have tested positive for COVID-19
Remember those Costco photos from two weeks ago?
Yah, folks, you don't stand in mile long lines during a pandemic.
I’ll be honest.
When we saw this coming 2 months ago I never envisioned ‘shutdowns’.
I figured we’d do things like Singapore. Quarantine the positives and their contacts. It’s really a sensible thing to do.
But that would have required testing. Apparently that’s beyond the CDC’s mission. Or something.
We didn’t ‘prep’ for a shutdown specifically. We prepped for hubby to work from home as much as possible and avoid any *other* trips (grocery store, hardware store, etc) to avoid our OWN exposure being more than necessary.
The shutdowns took us by surprise.
None of this would have been necessary if CDC had been as on the ball as Singapore.
Of note, Singapore’s consultant in this matter (disease spread) is Nicholas Taleb.
Maybe we should hire him. He couldn’t be worse than what we have now.
