The Covid-19 virus has unexpected testing impacts already. I read tonight, a NYT's article, how people cannot get the test help they need, even after ER doctors tell them they need to get tested because they simply don't 'meet the criteria' for the health threat when seen by medical professionals.
That's got to be super scary. Today at work, we noticed impacts such as the work population not being as high as it normally is. I also heard from random people at work that when they didn't have supplies on hand, on their specific floor and that janitorial had limited supplies (which is unheard of, seriously, they always have overstock), they shopped at local stores for tissue, sanitizer, paper towels, etc and not one store had any to buy. That was as of today. I was like, "Wow". Here's that link to the article I read, just minutes ago, published by the NYT's (LINK).

Our parking deck at work is looking pretty sparse.
* * * I'm scared as heck to look at my 401K account. * * * I'm working from home now, and so will everyone else in my office within the next week. * * * I tried to warn my boss we should not sign any long-term (9 months out) contracts for hotels, as we are hearing public health officials say it will be 18 months before they have a vaccine ready for the public. We will just end up paying deposits for sleeping and meeting rooms that we can't get back. Her reply: no one is talking about stuff a year away right now, don't worry about it. Arrrrggghhhhh! She is so short-sighted.

The Dow is rallying a little.
I'm in isolation as of about an hour ago. Busy day getting everything in place. I didn't get cash, so hopefully society will not collapse, in which case I'm doomed anyway. I do have to go pick up a couple of scripts next week, but I can do it through Walgreens drive through window. No face to face contact. Exhausting. Everybody is out doing the same thing. I voted early. The election workers weren't taking any precautions, so I swabbed my hands with an antiseptic wipe when I got back in the car. Starbucks workers had gloves and masks. They looked pretty scary, but I'm sure not criticizing. I had to cancel an ultrasound appointment I had forgotten that I even had until I checked my calendar this morning. It's not urgent and just not worth it. Well, knock on wood and fingers crossed that everyone stays healthy.

People at work are wearing homemade masks.

Today was crazy here. Literally hour by hour schools shutting down and having really intense meetings about what policies to put into place reflecting that. As of now we have cancelled all community meetings that we hold in our building and no one is allowed visitors- residents or staff. Daily check ins and health screenings for all 95 residents. Come Tuesday it will likely be down to only essential staff in the building which would be myself, one person on maintenance, one on front desk, a director and our CEO. My daughter moves back home tomorrow, unsure when or if she'll get to go finish her senior year of college. It took three days to get someone from Public Health who had time to talk to me about what protocol we follow if someone in house tests positive. Turns out they don't have a plan. I know National Guard is helping in some places in lockdown so I'm trying to see if they will come to us to drop off food if the building is quarantined.

These days I shudder about many things people do and touch. It makes me want to put blue nitrile gloves on before interacting with people. Many people and nearly all children do horribly nasty, germy things without any forethought. I am ecstatic that our nations top doctors are forcing people to wear masks. Now it doesn't look so out of place when I wear gloves or refuse to touch anyone that appears to be unclean or ill in anyway. My heroes are our Surgeon General and Dr. Fauci. Especially Dr. Fauci. Trump hates him so much, but can't fire him as he is so irreplaceable.

We are ALL in this together, even decent people are falling for the hysterics of this situation. We need to be steady, calm and resilient. Help the weaker among us, the elderly at the store who may not be able to reach something. Pay forward (if you are able) to the woman with the 3 kids in line purchasing milk.
Take a breath and make decisions based on mental clarity, not emotion. We will get through this and hopefully this country can be on the path to unity and overcome anus 45s incompetency.

China Ends Wuhan Lockdown, but Normal Life Is a Distant Dream
In the city where the coronavirus outbreak was first reported, the reopening of outbound travel won’t end hard times, wariness or confinement. * If the link doesn’t work it’s from today’s New York Times If we are following Wuhan’s lead in the development of this virus it’s possible at the end of it could also look very similar. If indeed it is the end. |

Hundreds of airline employees are testing positive for the covid-19.
Hundreds of airlines employees have tested positive for COVID-19 in recent days and that number is expected to continue rising, according to information released by multiple unions. https://www.localmemphis.com/article...5-30137c1e2891 I have been checking my wifes' temperature twice a day, her chest has been heavy in recent days so I am concerned. Our flight crew returning from the Virgin Islands on the 28th were based out of NYC.

Editor’s note: This story has been updated to clarify that 3M has been asked to stop supplying N95 respirators to Canada.
U.S.-based company 3M said Friday that it has been asked by the Trump administration not to supply N95 respirators to Canada amid the novel coronavirus pandemic. U.S. President Donald Trump has ordered the Minnesota-based company to produce and sell as many medical-grade masks as the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) says it needs. He invoked the Defence Production Act in order to speed up the distribution of masks. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>. 3M refused to do this and needed respirators and supplies has been shipped to Canada. Trump, remember 911 and Canada...... ty. |

Here's an update about the Bus Pass renewal:
I received an email from the Bus Agency, alerting me that they got the Unemployment office document yesterday. So I went down to their office and showed them the email; handed over my expired card, then they transferred the funds I had on my expired card to the new card, plus I handed over my debit card to add more funds on top of what I had already. Now I'm good to go, next time I need to catch a bus or train or trolley. That was a very quick turnaround, handling my expired bus pass issue. Ordinarily, it can be an arduous and time consuming process. So I view my bus pass issue as one positive outcome during this public health crisis. When I went downtown, I noticed that most major building projects were making good use of ample parking to get their projects completed before due dates. I noticed hardly any traffic, but State Patrol and County Sheriffs were out in force, policing roads and drivers who think they won't get caught breaking the speed limit, etc. I passed three State Troopers on my way back home and they had individuals pulled over. They were masked and gloved and even had emergency cones out, redirecting traffic to other lanes, so they could implement the 6-foot distance rule. When they say, Keep Your Distance: they're not joking around. I'm guessing some drivers got some hefty fines today, maybe even their license to drive revoked.
