Testing is no panacea.  The incubation period believed to be 14 days, would really undermine accuracy to a material degree.

The health professionals should be tested often, if possible, and perhaps the police and anyone else that has to be out and about.

Yeah, that place.

Where my beloved 50 y/o Iron Man brother-in-law (brother) passed due to a medical error, during a routine (anal fissure) surgery. Sepsis.

Lost my oldest brother a few years back almost same.Original hernia operation had symptoms.Went back twice we believe something pierced - doesn't take much.Recovery went back-forth for 8 months,started to look good then took a turn for the worse.SIL didn't take legal action but certainly would have been in the right to do so.She had already been thru hell and let it be

with or w/o a test, stay at home unless going to the golf course or the grocery store

my store wasn't bad last night

only lacking one thing at 7pm - toilet paper

4 inches of snow this morning - spring is coming

So, my neighbor who flew back from Europe Monday said when they landed, some CDC types come onto the plane handing out directions and asked if anyone was feeling ill.  The plane had about 120 passengers, probably less than half full.  After that, he said there was no line at immigration, he was out in a few minutes.  I just offered to pick up a lamb burger for him for lunch from the place next door.  He was concerned about being that long in a plane of course with possibly infected people.  He has no symptoms as yet, he seems to be enjoying himself.  I took him a plate of grilled steelhead trout last night, I think he's getting used to this.

The wife went to her hairdresser this AM, against my subtle advice.  I told her she couldn't possibly look any better.  It's a gorgeous day here today so we'll be out walking soonish.  No snow.

They are even talking about whether the Docs should continue working if infected.   Decent contingent says yes. very fascinating to keep tabs on my wife's internal office debates.

Need to run to Costco and hopefully find some of the meat items that were depleted the other night.

Also need to run through Home Depot, if they're open, for a propane tank swap and some grass seed. I'm hoping Home Depot stays open through all this stuff, because if we're going to be confined to home all the time I might as well get some projects done.

Yeah, that was the joke on instagram yesterday... That with this lockdown, we're soon going to be able to see womens' true hair color :57:

I told my wife that I would be expecting her to cut my hair when it gets long. I've got the clippers. I don't think she's going to be up for it, but hopefully she'll be up for fixing it when I fail at doing it myself.

I went to the grocery store this morning as soon as it opened at 7, and it was a zoo.  I went midday on Sunday, and it was fairly empty, but so were the shelves.  It was a pain, and I didn't like being there, but same issue, we keep some meat frozen for stir fry and stuff like that, but they were out of meat and bread by midday.

They are going to start opening an hour earlier for seniors next week, but judging from the shopping carts, they are just as prone to hoarding as anyone.  They need to change the 12 items or less lines to like $150 or less lines or something.  I just did a normal weekly shopping, but the people with two overflowing carts are killing this for everyone.

This area must be doing better with supply/distribution than others.  Obviously, this is a major trucking/rail/distribution hub, so that should help.  Once stores are largely restocked, folks will stop panic buying.

I'm just annoyed that the stay at home order had to happen last night. I worry that's going to trigger another round of panic buying, and all I want is to get the meat necessary to run through a decent menu over the next two weeks.

I realized I have a meeting at 11 AM that I need to dial into, which means I have to either go to Costco closer to opening time than I'd like (and risk being part of long lines and panic) or go to Costco later in the day than I'd like (and risk not finding what I need).

I ordered a 2 in 1 Dell last night from Costco, and for the hell of it, checked the groceries and such. They are out of anything made from paper, out of garbage bags, coffee, etc.

Good for you, I have a couple of those myself! :)

Those who owe taxes now have until July 15 to file and pay.  Great move!
