    Will admit, traffic was a bit lighter on the way home.

    Grocery store I frequent had 1/3 of the cars that has been normal the past 3 times I have went there. Hope that's a sign of people giving up hoarding and things can get somewhat normal. May try it again Wed. or Thurs. if it looks the same tomorrow night.

    Idk that's all she said. I'm not sure where he went, but using the word "doctor" might have been a stretch.

    Had a fishing trip planned to squaw lake/bemidji this week... just had to cancel it. This virus sucks.

    So, as you were saying.

    Corporate buyback was the only fix with Pelosi's bill?

    How do you feel about all the "Swine" being tacked onto the Chinese flu relief aid?

    Seeing what Congressional Democrats are trying to do, I'm almost ready to climb aboard the conspiracy train.

    What has suffered the most? The Trump economy, for real.

    People out their saying could be as many as 12 million deaths in the US as a result of this.

    How? Even extrapolating numbers. How?

    I'm going to sleep on it, but I'm seeing pictures of people claiming to be wearing regular deust masks but you can definitely see the button cover up to hide the N95 in what could be toilet paper.

    Here's what the masks I bought back in 2016 look like when I was tearing out carpet. With proof of purchase, to shiw I am not hoarding

    On the news tonight, about 478000 cases. Approximately 100000 resolved with just over 5000 deaths of I remember the numbers.

    Definitely not an insignificant rate of death.

    Was at the Big box hardware store after work. They have signs up at the checkout stating that 6 feet is the correct social distancing spacing. They further explained that the taped x's on the floor were 6 ft.

    This twit got so close to me, she was touching my jacket and I swear I felt her breath on my neck. Had to turn around and ask her to back up. Then her husband walks up and stands between us. She tells him, be careful that guy is an @sshole.

    Before I could reply, the cashier told them they could back up and shut up or they could leave.

    Dang I was so impressed, I left my business card and told her dinner for her and a guest was in me when this crap is over.

    Still at work with a couple hundred of my brothers and sisters. Same with the fire and rescue guys. Everyone else in the county government is working from home. Criminals could care less about this virus. Hope they enjoy their quarantine in jail.

    They’ll prefer it better in them; weird fetish, but it’s 2020, you can do your thing without judgement.
    I can’t stand people that close to me in normal operations let alone with what’s going on now. Ignorant dang people, kudos on the clerk, although they are probably sick of dealing with the public by now.

    Gave what ever N95 masks I had in my tool box to my sister I law. Apparently her clinic is using Lysol wipes to clean masks to reuse since they have no more. If they don’t, they get terminated or something crazy like that. She’s not a dr but a step under that, not just a office worker, she’s quite essential to the operation.

    Sorry. The death rate is much higher than 1%. It has to be calculated based on the number of resolved cases-not total cases. There are still over 300000 souls whose fate is yet to be decided.

    It's crazy to me that there are actually people out there still trying to downplay all of this.

    Not down playing anything but as an operating company with no work from home employees I feel it is important to say we will continue on and be productive. Take precautions and be prudent.

    WTH..CDC found the virus still active on the cruise ship AFTER 17 days!

    Hubby said what's wrong with this mail? I sprayed it down with bleach water. I'm wondering if the microwave would kill it?
