Local pizza place told me I’d have to meet the guy at the door and sign the receipt.
At no point have I thought this is a two-week thing, and I'm not sure it's been communicated as such aside from our President, who not too long ago said this was a few cases that would miraculously disappear and all would be well.
I'd put each individual slice over a boiling, steaming tea kettle for another 25 seconds as well.
Understandable, and I think it depends entirely on what happens in that initial "trying" period. Does the cluster hit? Big spike and now it's actually in the backyard?
Yup. I have some retired nurse friends that won't go in. Not enough supplies is the main reason.
That may be a good thing. Cruise ships are horrible polluters thanks to the cheap dirty fuel almost all of them use. Carnival alone emits almost 10 times more sulfur dioxide than all 270 million of Europe’s cars in a year.
A hospital we work with in Maryland is working off of a model that the peak will be June/July
It sounds right to me. May/June seems like an optimistic peak scenarios. July/August if we do an average-to-good job. And later if worse. And my faith in people is limited.
So we all have to stay locked up till July? I can but zero chance this country does that.
you're spreading fear unnecessarily. shelter in place orders do not prohibit going to the store for groceries or other essentials.
Given the State Department mandate for Americans overseas to get back to the States or be prepared to ride it out in another country, daughter coming home. Bangkok to Tokyo to Minneapolis to Boston with lengthy layovers each step of the way.
Sorry, what I heard was “lockdown”, but I’m sure it would be similar to CA or Pennsylvania. Again, I don’t mean to spread fear, and at this point I’m sure we’ve all done what we can to prepare as best as we know how. Take care of yourselves and each other.
No one's shutting food stores. A lockdown would be great IMO -- too many people aren't taking this seriously enough.
I left my house other than walking the neighborhood for the first time in a week today. There was no noticeable difference in traffic and walmart parking lot looked like black friday. Scary times
Only want to make a simple point that the CEO of Marriott is choosing to call the virus COVID-19.
I don't know how you'd do this. For example kids out of school that rely on free breakfast and lunch meals to live would be your next casualty. So many volunteers are keeping those poor people alive in many cases.
So I wake up each morning to Cuomo's press conference. I find him very impressive, and he seems to have a handle on things. Pretty clear he has an issue with DeBlasio. I'm new to Cuomo though. Am I misreading?
Edited above - my bad. But liquor stores are state owned/operated (and closed Sundays already). Also, could be a(nother) run on food stuffs when it goes in force - if you need diapers, formula, milk, bread, yada yada, gas, and haven’t already done so, do it soon.
Again, no. That's exactly what causes runs and shortages. This is the worst message you can be conveying to people at this point.
Totally agree. A small percentage of the people I know have self quarantined the last week or two but it accomplishes nothing while so many others are business as usual or raging on Spring Break or at a bar on Patty’s Day. No way you get everyone to give up the freedom we are all used to, especially leading into Summer when everyone will want to be out and about.
Point is, stock up so you don't have to go out, right? You're best served if you treat this like a lockdown.
In these lockdown situations don’t they still allow essential personnel to work and courthouses have essential employees for real estate recordation etc?
Shelter in place order for Cali came out right after my comments about the fireman alerting my niece to significant changes forthcoming. And there you were, crying about getting me banned for it. For a "LONG" time. What a baby.
3 or 4 people said similar things yesterday that didn’t happen today. I’m not believing any of it until it happens.
Totally disagree. We're making data driven decisions that make sense. Shelter in place orders for the sake of having an order in place doesn't make sense. Inslee is strongly encouraging voluntary compliance but also recognizes nobody's going to call in the national guard or arrest people.
