She did say she believes the current biggest threat to staff and patients is the cleaning crew. These employees tend to be less educated and they are having a hard time getting them to understand proper cleaning procedures. She saw an employee take a garbage bag from a covid room and was kicking it down the floor outside the hot area. When she explained to me just the list of rules for taking that material out of the room IF they followed it would certainly make for a pretty safe environment, but that is a big freaking if.

As someone who lives in one of the current 'hotspots' in Pennsylvania, I would like to thank all of the fuckfaces from New Jersey/New York who fled their state and brought the plague with them to mine. Have already had to 'run off' and report two guys sneaking around with guns, looking to poach deer (and I hope, nothing more malicious).

Not sure on the plates. I live on a large amount of land that is nestled up against two large state gamelands (one wood, one swamp), so I am used to having people end up on my property (even though they have to pass a fire break, jump a fence, and then ignore the posted signs every 400 feet). I did not know them and when I warned them off, they went back into the woods.

As my village is relatively small (800ish permanent residents), the only time I really ever encounter people I do not 'know' (at least in passing from the VFW/Firehall/Having gone to school with one of their kin/etc) is during tourist season/hunting season. Which apparently this is now.

Wayne/Monroe county other side of the state.

We had one person for several weeks, then talk of the Shelter-In-Place order and things got bad in New York/Jersey, then we jumped up to over 180 in the span of a week. Just happened to coincide with a huge influx of city folk fleeing to their country homes. Most of them have been criminally unprepared as well - Causing store runs on almost everything, not just the usual toilet paper/water/cleaning supplies. Anything canned is rough to come by, I have heard. A friend who does plumbing has had to turn down work, too many people who had their system shut off/busted something/overworked a septic in the past two weeks.

I am just sheltering in place, family members (who could) came to my place to weather the Shelter order. Even ended up pressganging them into some labor around the place (mostly fixing up one of the older storage sheds).

Fair trade for good room and board!

Southeastern PA here, and I spend a lot of time in northern Delaware. I kinda love PA. It's like a perfect miniature of the whole country.

Ask your wife (I am assuming she is a bedside nurse) if she actually agrees with it. None of us believe it. We all think it is airborne. We suspect the reason it being "droplet" is due to lack of PPE. If the virus can live in the air for >3 hours, that doesn't sound like droplet to me. When we have TB, the particles fall after about an hour then a room can be cleaned.


"I dont know why theyre doing all that. I've been assured by internet experts that just about any kind of loose fabric worn in the general head area protects you from the virus. Medical people are such fearmongers."

Humm...are you working the front lines? Or are you sheltering at home?

I was being sarcastic, but you're the second person to comment so that must not have been clear. I meant the opposite.

They arrested the preacher in Baton Rouge today. Didn't shut down the church. Misdemeanor counts for disobeying governors soandso orders in the decleration of an emergy or such and organizing people to break the orders by busing them in. I'm not sure he even was taken into custody.

Democratic governor "“I’m a person of faith,” Governor Edwards said during a press conference. “I happen to believe very much in the awesome power of prayer. I also believe in science, and the scientists at the CDC say that the measures we are taking will minimize the spread." I watched a bit on the news. The preacher was really turning this into a giant fund drive mostly. I thought it was originally a mostly black church but that changed. It's about what you would think in the holy roller white part of town. They had someone outside the church directing traffic for all the buses coming in from all over the state. Holy Roller woodstock.

Friend of mine is going thru cancer that lives nearby. She sent me a link to her methodist church stream. I watched it so I could talk to her about it and maybe make her feel a little better. He was big on the bible says follow the law of the land and please take your bible to the city square and preach christianity in Iran and let me know how that goes for you.

Louisiana end of April I think. I don't expect much curve flattening from the people that work that are exempt.

SF SIP extended to May 3. Think the proactive measures here really had a positive effect. The spread has been relatively slow. Only 400 cases in the entire city.

We really need a smarter plan than "everyone hides in their house."

Definitely a lot of people are going to have to continue hiding in their house, but I think that we can strategically get some parts of the economy working again.

Given there is no test for immunity, no known cure, a vaccine over a year away, almost no effective treatment plans, and our health care system is about to be overrun, yes, we shouldn't let a highly contagious and incredibly deadly virus stop our most important priority: the quarterly earnings repot.

Sadly "everyone hide in their house until this blows over" is our best bet if we prioritize human life.

The question isn't we need a smarter plan. We need the smart people in the room developing tools so we can move on, because until the reality of the virus and/or our health care system changes, "everyone hide in their house"" is the smartest plan.
