I heard there was a pellet gun shooting in the Walmart parking lot on 248.

It wouldn't surprise me at all that a lot of people had it and didn't know it at the time.

Don’t worry! Everything’s gonna be all right. Trump says so!!

Trees are starting to bud, won't be long until there are leaves!

Why ask questions to which you already know the answer?

We had about 1/10 acre at the old house that I used to cut w/ reel mower and keeping it cut is the ticket. If/When it got too long, forget using the reel mower. The quality of the cut is excellent. The effort to use it, that's another story. Good exercise though!

Interesting Ted talk from 9 years go, indicating the hot spots from probably where the next coronavirus would surface. (spoiler: All of Eastern China is bright red & orange)

Ouch! https://vtskiandride.com/vail-resorts-furloughs-entire-workforce/?fbclid=IwAR0XR6zAUMZeYmMBtHhYHhMSBPre4W7xELnRGMZTUnqZ1VaHrTWVdKQ3rrA

Main Street doesn't look too bad, just a little fast grass, meadow skipping.

Yeah, I don't get it either. I can see preventing people from just coming in and wandering around for something to do, but trying to determine what's essential/not in a grocery store??

I heard that stores are now going to start to cordon off non-essential aisles (which sounds pretty ridiculous to me) to prevent people from coming in and just wandering around.

Wow! It's all women's fault! https://thebiznews.org/2020/03/24/robertson-blames-coronavirus-on-oral-sex-lady-chemicals/?fbclid=IwAR1P2BdOxlBF6goZVYaQnwwas8_RTPQsnWMPeDy9vY0vSdmtNssQmsTHtBM

I think it took a lot less than Covid-19 to put the kibosh on "Coming Soon"...

What they (OSHA, hospitals, governments, etc.) must do right now is observe the situation and make plans for the next pandemic. They obviously can't do their job now, as it's far too late. Numerous, prior, mini-pandemics have already occurred that should have caused them to have plans in place for this one. From the looks of things, they obviously ignored the prior mini-pandemics and have done little/nothing to prepare, which is on them. It's OSHA's job to protect workers and they've failed to do so. What's really scary and already happening with garbage haulers, grocery store workers, etc., is if healthcare workers decide to up and quit or walk out because of the working conditions. Unfortunately, I've already heard of some that have done so, quit that is. Imagine going to the hospital in the need of ventilation and there's nobody there to intubate you.

Yet the insanity persists. Wearing the same mask all day long, going into multiple patients rooms wearing said mask, cloth masks that don't fit properly and/or made out of wrong material. Where's OSHA when you need it to supposedly protect the healthcare workers?

Realized their losing too much tax revenue...

Stay at home PA residents everywhere! https://www.mcall.com/coronavirus/mc-nws-coronavirus-pa-stay-at-home-20200323-hpv3idlpmjdrzcwg4xqeeogwhi-story.html

Have a great time in the hood!

Yup, surely. Money talks, bullshit walks...

Interesting site that shows projections (beds, ventilators, deaths, peaks) by state... https://covid19.healthdata.org/projections

Hospitals in this country are run like businesses and the bottom line is monitored to the tee by bean counters. Unfortunately they're not going to put a ton of money into supplies that sit idly by in storage in the hopes that a pandemic occurs, which is obviously what's happening now. People don't plan to fail, they fail to plan. If they (hospitals and regular people) would have had a pandemic plan, you wouldn't have seen the mad rush to buy every roll of TP in existence and every N95 mask. The onus of all this is a failure to plan for such a situation from Trump on down to each and every single person (barring the few actual preparers out there in the world). Hell, people can't stay away from one another for a couple of weeks and can't even stop going out skiing as we've seen, which puts themselves and others in danger, regardless of how innocent they seem to think doing so is. You can hit a tree or a rock or even get into an accident driving to wherever and now you bring others into the picture. Regardless of who's in office, they'd be saying the same thing "Stay at home" and people wouldn't listen, it's 'Murica after all and we do what we want, when we want, however we want. Short of turning the place into a military police state like they did in China, where they're throwing people in confinement for not conforming, cases are just going to keep multiplying. Actually you have to commend China to a certain extent in that they did sequence the virus as fast as they could and released that to the world so that the collective could start working on developing tests kits and hopefully a vaccine, but the spread outpaced development. Creating millions of test kits doesn't happen overnight, so there's no way countries, governments, hospitals, etc. could have gotten prepared with test kits. Stay at home and be healthy!
