Blue Mountain - COVID-19 Update

[Barb]

Denver issued stay at home order yesterday and Boulder followed today. Starts at 5pm. I can’t get the stats on mountain towns/counties, but I get daily updates emailed from Crested Butte. As of yesterday Gunnison county had 36 cases (1death).  To compare, Boulder county had 39 cases, obviously Gunnison county is tiny compared to Boulder.

Wow that is surprising for how small Gunnison and the surrounding area is.

Just looked it up;

Gunnison county 17, 246

Boulder county 326,078

Still Rocking and Rolling here in Exton. As of now there are no plans to shut down our plant at all since we fall into the categories defined by the governor. We were all handed a letter to give to anyone that might stop us on the roads identifying us as essential employees. 

Thankfully I'm all the way in a back corner of the building and don't really interact with many (if any) people throughout the day. I'm completely refusing to go down on the production floor at this point. There are way too many people down there in relatively close quarters.

Ok, I’ll play the because-I-was-bored game too.
Union county, NJ
Population 540,000
105 sq miles
66 new cases confirmed YESTERDAY, 189 cases total

Testing is not yet widely available, so real number probably >1000.

Just for fun: 

Delco	564,696
Montco	826,075
Philly	1,584,138
	2,974,909

 

That's a lot of people in this little corner of the state.

I would imagine that's directly related the number of people traveling to and from NYC.

We tease the people in Palmerton about being riddled with zinc, but it appears as though it works for them.

While that might be a nice attempt to acclimate to the #ZincieLife, it seems as though it takes years of inhaling toxic zinc dust to boost your immunity to COVID-19

I was gonna crush them up and snort them in hopes of giving my immune system a shock.

They should close down restaurants.  It’s encouraging people to make extra trips out and harming the workers as well who come into contact with lots of people and co workers.

I know this is 10+ days late...

but did anyone else notice that “cancelled” was spelled wrong like 3x? 😂

They could never run a tombstone company. In my business spelling is super important. We don’t have a good eraser.

That's a great fun fact. I wonder how the flying pig is doing in these uncertain times.

Why do you think I sell so many tombstones in the philly area...we just don’t have that kind of population in the Lehigh valley.  Lehigh and Northampton counties combined is 600,000 also add Bucks county in as well with 628,000 people.  Glad you guys are looking up populations and land areas.  That’s something I always do.

I spent a few bucks here and there, but just am trying not to spend on anything other than groceries, utilities, transportation and mortgage.  Its my wife's birthday, so spent a few bucks on some gifts as well.

Definitely saving on gas by not going anywhere.
