Coronavirus II

[BugI02]

Ya our company was sent a letter from the DoD stating we are “essential”. We make tooling for aircraft... not what I would consider essential at the moment

We go down in Ohio midnight tonight. Reading the governor's proclamation, it looks like people considered essential lean pretty heavily toward those who make 'stuff'. People considered eesential that provide service are pretty heavily skewed towards medical/pharmacy and providing consumers consumables (grocery, gas stations , hardware etc)

Perhaps a lesson for those attempting to make a job as a barista into a career rather than a stepping stone. We need to get back to making stuff

If you mean it's a long road ahead, I agree, but the country can absolutely decide to do this in the blink of an eye and elect politicians to actually do it. I'm really hope that's what we see in November and I'm really hoping the .gov keeps their word for once and gets us off the Chinese teat.

How do politicians turn a nation's economy from services based to based upon something else?

That’s exactly how I approached it… I seem to be healthy right now… Why come out and risk it?

I really am aghast that they don't want otherwise healthy people to just stay home right now. Crazy.

One of the things mentioned was that of the 250,000 tests processed, 9 out of 10 were negative. They said that did not include the numbers from private labs.

Our positive rate went from 4% last week to 16% today. Indy southside.

I really do hope that we will all campaign for "build it in the USA" when this is all over. Might have to fire some CEO's and board members to get it done.

If it isn't critical, then you don't need to risk being Typhoid Tbhausen if you are asymptomatic or picking it up there.

Is there a link you can provide. I have been trying to locate the number of tests administered in Indiana other than the numbers reported to ISDH, or at least breaks the total tests from them by county.

Depending on how long it lasts, there may be no boards to fire members from.

Stop subsidizing the manufacturing base of our largest global enemy would be a good start...

And 90% of Congress.

In other numbers-news, today might be the worst day yet for reported death toll. Could approach 200.

Ok government: let's talk.

You shut down the entire economy and ruin the financial lives of tens of millions over concern for loss of life and to stop our medical system from being overwhelmed. Fine.

Smoking kills 400,000 per year and overwhelms our medical system. Yet it's legal. If you want us to believe you care then ban it today. What's the worst that can happen? Are you afraid black market "unsafe" cigarettes will pop up? Or are you afraid they will be "untaxed" and you won't get revenue from them? Cigarettes are basically an inheritance tax on those under the threshold.

Smoking makes your odds of dying from this virus MUCH higher. So we can't run our economy but we CAN buy cigarettes. Asses.

I am getting tired of our overlords.

I have read many studies on coivid-19. I have seen clinical cases. The numbers do not support what you are saying. Of those in the ER 1.4% where daily smokers in China,with over 50% of men in China listed as daily smokers. Seems the opposite may be true in clinical case studies as far being a smoker. Meaning it may have less impact on that group. If you have a study of clinical cases or a study showing this impacts smokers I would like you to post it. From what I have read it is not the case.

Just one example.

Even in Italy smoking has not even made the list of comorbitities.

Again. I am just asking for evidence,or more precisely how you came to the opinion smokers where more vulnerable?

Gotta get ready for the airborne disinfecting attachments...

Possible opening for Curtis Dyna-Fog in Westfield to get back into making the sprayers they used for agent orange in Vietnam.

 

[BugI02]

No barbershops or nail salons.

Yeah, we've got that as well and I was about due for a haircut. People will mistake me for a damn hippy in another month

Their plan sounds almost exactly like what the Italians are already doing. Reserve ventilators for those more likely to live and give older/sicker patients sedatives so they die with minimal pain and fuss. Sucks, but that's what it comes down to.

‘TOTALLY STUPID’ [h=1]Coronavirus backlash for Instagram model Yulia Ushakova as she wears swimsuit made out of in-demand medical masks[/h]

https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/11233788/coronavirus-backlash-instagram-model-yulia-ushakova/

Wear your PPE folks!

I would have never thought of using a surgical mask as a thong but I guess it works.

 

[BugI02]

Not the chinese ones... that's how all of this started.

Kraft is still breathing, though, isn't he? He had 'complete exposure'

Maybe we could make a serum from his blood if he had any

A whole lotta stupid is being revealed these days.

I take it gun shops are essential right?
