Been saying all along this is to keep the numbers low so it doesn’t *become* endemic like the flu.

Exactly...

About 2,000 USPS Workers Are Quarantined Over Coronavirus Concerns

About 2,000 USPS Workers Are Quarantined Over Coronavirus Concerns

Around 2,000 U.S. Postal Service employees nationwide are in quarantine over concerns that they may have been exposed to coronavirus, and more than 60 have tested positive for the virus, according to the National Association of Letter Carriers and the Postal Service.

There are more than 630,000 Postal Service employees nationwide. Mail delivery is considered an essential service, so post offices remain open and letters and packages continue to be delivered even as other businesses shut down and residents stay at home.

But as the pandemic continues to spread, some postal workers say the don’t have enough of the cleaning supplies and sanitizers they need to work safely.

“Any failure of the USPS to keep its workers safe not only puts their employees at risk, but also threatens each of the communities they serve,” Sen. Cory Booker and 10 other Democratic members of the New Jersey congressional delegation recently wrote to Postmaster General Megan Brennan.

So, what if they were to cut mail delivery down to 3 times a week, to let packages sit a while? Also, what about getting rid of junk mail?

NO!!

She did not. Too late, now.

I’m looking online for non-touch/infrared (human) thermometers (not the commercial kind).

I need at least 6.

Anyone have any idea? Amazon is out of stock.

Well, I tell ya, I’ma look at that as a win. People come around when they come around. I didn’t believe this stuff at first either, back in December, seemed like it could be a bunch of hype.

But reality has a way of convincing even the most boneheaded individuals, such as myself!

This was very predictable—and expect action to be taken—several weeks late, as usual.
