I misspoke. It's $15/month, not $15 per meeting.

If this thing doesn't abate during summer (which is looking more dubious), CFB is the least of our worries.

I ordered three pieces of cheesecake from our local favorite restaurant.  The manager added two more pieces to the order.  I chatted with him a bit, he says they are starting limited carry out main menu Monday, so we'll probably do that for dinner.  I gave the extra to our neighbors.  I try and avoid dessert, I was just trying to help, each slice is $9.50, it's really good stuff.

The manager was optimistic, I told him we'd do what we can to help out.  This is the guy who cooked up free meals for anyone in the industry on Thursday before the closed.  He was in the kitchen cooking and the staff had bags of meals for a long line outside.  I may try the new burger place for lunch.  Imagine opening into the middle of this mess.  I never heard of the place.

Sam’s is heading to ATL

Long-running North Beach burger spot Sam’s, praised by the late Anthony Bourdain as the home of a “top three” burger in the world, is opening a much larger location in Atlanta, Georgia. The unfussy late-night favorite for foodies and chefs at 618 Broadway will unveil a southern spinoff in a shiny new building in midtown Atlanta. “Sam’s of San Francisco will be a hybrid spinoff of what we currently have in San Fran,” co-owner Fadi El Shawa told What Now Atlanta. He and brothers Hani and Emad have run the business sine the passing of their father, Mike “Sam” El Shawa, whose own uncle Sam opened the counter in 1966. Not only will the new Sam’s be bigger than the hole-in-the-wall original, it will feature a larger menu, with as many as 50 burgers and 100 sandwiches, and beer and wine from San Francisco and Napa for Atlantans to enjoy.

And what's potentially worse about this? 


Quote
The estimated excess demand on hospital systems is predicated on the enactment of social distancing measures in all states that have not done so already within the next week and maintenance of these measures throughout the epidemic, emphasizing the importance of implementing, enforcing, and maintaining these measures to mitigate hospital system overload and prevent deaths.

So this is assuming that the entire country actually gets on board with these measures.

I assume it's also predicated on compliance with social distancing measures, which as we've been discussing has not been nearly as strong as it should be. 

My neighbors had guests over every night this past weekend, and someone who I'm quite sure doesn't live there was hanging out with them in their garage. That's what you get for living near Raiders fans :96:

In my area, I'd say everyone I see is actively maintaining distance.  We have not walked today but I went to Kroger.

The Waffle House Index is broken.

The manager has in interesting CV and life story, a geophysics degree.

Ahmet was surprised by the warm reception and patience displayed by those he met when he began studying at the University of Georgia. There, he worked as a dishwasher for the UGA dining hall system, and climbed his way up the chain at Damon’s Steakhouse, while learning English and completing grad school.
