    Actually, I think during the closed hours they should rearrange the products so nothing is ever in the same aisle. Be like the Daytona 500 held on a frozen Lake Erie.

    No worries man, I wasn’t offended. I was obviously joking, but I’ve never heard of pox parties before, I cannot believe that actually happened.

    And to add to this, link up their closed circuit cams to public view for the only live sporting events being held. Hell, the public can even point out people stealing or cheating the rationings :lol:

    Had they known shingles happen as a result of pox, they may not have done so.

    Oh hell. It was fun to rewatch the Big 10 championship from last year. MSU over Michigan. Always nice to see Michigan lose no matter the sport.

    (not so) proud Pox Party Alumni, 1986
    while it wasn't an official "party"; my younger cousin got the chicken pox right before Christmas Break. My folks thought it was a good idea for my sister and I to get infected at that time so I didn't miss so much school if I caught it later. So we spent a weekend with a cousin we barely knew; then about a week later I got to spend Christmas Break that year chowing down sore throat lozenges and dabbing calamine lotion. Good times.

    Over and under after our 3-week shutdown here in America.

    50,000 and over if we really ramp up testing

    Well...I work for two fire departments in counties that have confirmed cases and my fiancé works as an ICU nurse in a respiratory unit that has 3 beds waiting for confirmed patients.

    I don’t like my odds.

    Kinda weird reading this because I had something similar sometime this winter. Got somewhat of a cold but just kinda had that sick feeling you get at the start of a cold but it never got worse. Lasted for week or so then went away.


    Not saying it was or wasn't but was just kinda weird. Usually I either get a cold or nothing. And if do start getting any kind of symptoms it goes full blown. If that makes sense ha. Like Germ it was just kind of weird.

    He's actually considering a statewide lockdown.


    SPRINGFIELD - Governor J.B Pritzker is floating the idea of closing down bars and restaurants in the State of Illinois. According to sources, Governor Pritzker is considering a "total shutdown" of the state.
    Pritzker spoke this morning on NBC's "Meet The Press", and said that the state "needs to go on lockdown".
    When host Chuck Todd pressed Governor Pritzker on the possibility of shutting down bard and restaurants, he responded, "We're actually looking hard at making that decision today," he said. "Nowhere in the United States has there really been a lockdown on bars and restaurants, but it's something that we're seriously looking at," he said.
    The governor is expected to hold a press briefing later today with additional announcements regarding the Coronavirus.

    Well the shelves have been hit hard once again.. Oklahoma has the most medical marijuana dispensaries per captia, I think it's something like one dispensary per 107 license holders. Apparently they too have been cleaned out with the threat of quarantine.. just another benefit of growing ones own.

    I have stepped away from the site for now, though I need to say this.
    Please EVERYONE be extra viligent in taking care of your health. I'm talking accidents. Be it simple hiking to driving and work place.
    My FIL in 80's developed a bleed in a neck artery. SIL got him in to urgent care and as they got to a room it let loose spraying from his ear. They got it clamped. Couldn't get the surgeon back from Houston to Dallas. They Refused to admit him. Capacity already high. They unclamped and did a pressure wrap sending him home to 24 Hour watch . If it lets loose again before Monday rush to urgent care. Mind you they had clamped the artery.
    Already hospitals are not admitting non CV urgent patients if at all possible. Even when surgery is needed. They will do it Monday.
    Now I'm worried. DIL was scheduled for major oral surgery in two weeks, cancelled.
    Went to store today no meat, found out no meat except pork in any surrounding towns. No TP, alcohol, eggs,very little bread, bottled water.
    Nearest cases of CV 30 miles away. 2 but one had symptoms March 4 wasn't taken
    to hospital until the 13 th tested positive . Problem, they worked in a school.district and went to work in that time.
    Put a lack of diligence , next to panic runs you have a real problem. Panic from some can make others less diligent. Then problems that may not have happened snow ball.
    Take this like a stalk on game, higher sense of alertness with a calm steady pace forward. Good Luck and stay safe
