"We" packed over 10,000 meals for Cafe Intermezzo to donate to food service folks out of work.  Made the local news.  I am bushed.

I have rarely seen so many people working so hard, it was inspiring, really.  Several of the folks are immigrants from France, Turkey, Afghanistan, Costa Rica, just working working working to get these packages to folks who need them, it was impressive.  

I am beat.

If you ever visit the ATL, try to dine there, there is one in the airport.  They are good people.

I am very proud of our country right now, despite the few idiots out there.

Ohio Distilleries have went into overdrive to make hand sanitizer and will donate the product to Food Banks 👍
At our local grocery there were scads of small plastic bottles of "hand sanitizer" on the shelf last week so I bought one. The bottle was marked as made by "Foundry Distillery" of West Des Moines. So I checked out their website and they make spirits.

The bottle says it has a certain % of alcohol (bottle is at my office now, I am not), + glycerin. The contents are pure liquid, i.e. no noticeable glycerin. I stuck my finger in for a taste. It tastes like vodka. I am a bit afraid to drink it because it says it has glycerin, but the glycerin is undetectable to touch or taste.

Any thoughts on the idea floated by MLB that there be two leagues for 2020, one Grapefruit League for teams doing spring training in Florida, and one Cactus League? The teams will play each other in empty stadia in those two states until things can open up, or stay if things don't open up, with the World Series in November.

A lot of rainouts if you're playing games scattered around FL all summer.  
Anyone volunteering to play outside when it's 118 degrees in AZ?

I am in Iowa. We usually consider the weather. But not so much in baseball season. Good points.

I don't know how you could "notice" the addition of some glycerin to alcohol.  A large percentage would make the solution notably viscous, but it would be mostly glycerin at that point.  Otherwise, it might leave a slight oily feeling on your skin after the alcohol evaporated.

Glycerin is pretty nontoxic to humans.  It is widely used in hand lotions as the primary adjuvant.

Checking back in on that IHME model:

Illinois peaked on 4/3. Wisconsin will peak tomorrow.

Florida has a ways to go - April 26.

The route from Illinois to Florida:

Kentucky: 4/24
Tennessee: 4/19
Georgia: 4/26

I imagine Iowa is so far behind because there is no stay-at-home order, and the schools didn't close until a week ago.

AZ was late to the party on stay-at-home. March 30, although schools closed 2 weeks before that.

Illinois' peak death rate is projected in 3 days. Kinda fits in with the election held on March 17, but I can't say for sure that is the cause. I'm just speculating. If the thing takes up to 14 days to show up, that would be March 31. I can't find data on how long it has taken for an identified case to result in a death. 2 weeks?? That about fits.

Man, it really sucks to have to think about this thing all the time.

Also, what was in the news before this broke? Seems like this virus coverage is all that's talked about right now. I guess the big story before this was impeachment?? I can't even remember. It feels like a long, long time ago.
