I assumed every car registered in Chicago has four bottles of Malort hidden in the trunk for emergencies.
Well... I flew there. I've been to State College 3 times for games and have never driven it.

Our county just issued a "wear mask at all times" order.  Looks like it doesn't apply when you're exercising as long as you can maintain 6' distance from others at all times.  And it doesn't apply to people in the same family unit while in their home or on their propety.

But basically, it's now mandatory for anyone going to the grocery store, or their doctor, or whatever, to wear a mask.

And the city has some pretty heavily used hike and bike trails, especially in the urban core.  I'm assuming they'll enforce it down there, as it's pretty tough to maintain 6' from others, even now.

Some localities have laws on the books against the wearing of masks in public.

I wonder when a mayor's order (versus a legislated law) can have legal authority in a court for anyone charged with disobedience.

I'll be a lot less on edge tomorrow morning when the kids go back to their mom's house. 

Between trying to work from home full time, manage a hyper puppy, be a substitute teacher to the kids (especially the one w/ autism), it's fraying my last nerve. My wife being in healthcare still goes to the office every day. If she was also working from home it might share the load with the puppy a little bit, as they've been very slow at her office (and all patients are seen via telemed), but they don't have a WFH infrastructure in place.

So, an order to wear a mask? Where do we find those? In the Fed stash?

My wife has made about 35 so far, and is now waiting for more elastic to come so she can make more. We have the same "order" here, since last week. Good luck trying to go buy one.

Yup, valid questions.  My mom made a bunch for our family so we're covered.  I didn't look into the specific subsections on this one, but I believe they suggest any face covering, so a bandana or a scarf should also suffice.

I won't debate the quality or level of protection a scarf might offer, for either the wearer or others around him, but there you have it...

My wife was able to find some specs for masks on line, and patterns. She made them to N95 spec, which is good. Lots of double stitching and such, and felt inside.

My wife and I have both been busy as hell in the last month. We've shuffled some of our furniture around to make our work spaces more defined. 

My folks have been retired for a few years, and they're in pretty good shape. My wife has expended a lot of emotional energy getting her folks through the myriad of unemployment insurance in their state. 

Has it already been a month since this thing went haywire? Good grief, it feels like 10 years.

I doubt my county will require a mask anytime soon...............  Woodbury County - pop. 103,000

_________________________________________________ ____________________________

Siouxland District Health Department on Tuesday said that a woman age 41-60 has tested positive for COVID-19, the disease caused by the virus. It's the 21st case in Woodbury County. There have been 552 negative tests.

The health department also reported that both people who had been hospitalized as a result of the virus have been discharged. Of the 21 cases thus far, 11 people have recovered.

Woodbury County reported two new cases on Monday.

Through Monday, Iowa has had a total of 1,710 cases and 43 deaths while 741 have recovered.


_________________________________________________ _____________________________

so, 43 + 741 = 784

1710 - 784 = 926 cases

so, 926 cases are still sick or have symptoms, can't be sure if they recovered????

I had a silly thought along these lines - slow people are S.O.L. if it came down to it.  Infected, fast people could run up on them and infect them.  They'd have no recourse.

I've just been wearing a bandana when I've gone into a store.  I run in, yell "Nobody move!" and then go on about my shopping.

Every time I'm out running, or even walking the dog, I've definitely got my head on a swivel to see if anyone is approaching.

And I hate running with earbuds/headphones, so I can usually hear anything that's approaching, which is helpful.
