max21 Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 As a healthy 27 year old I’m still not sure what to make of this, I worry about my mom and grandma mainly. I just drove to Staten Island today for work and sort of surprised this job is still happening but I just do what my employer says. Hard to focus on work with all this going on. My kitchen remodel was supposed to start tomorrow but I told the dude to push it back a week since everything is so uncertain, don’t want to get halfway through and be in a mandatory shutdown with out a kitchen. That would suck. Since I work for the military I’m just waiting for them to say essential personal only, I’m not sure if it will actually happen or not. Stay safe people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can give her my debit card so she can pick up groceries for me. I have about a month of food in the freezer. You might want to get some canned/non-perishable food as well. If there's power disruptions, frozen food won't keep. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Mind keeps going back and forth between: 1) That report I posted abut "Patient 31", who appears to be single-handedly responsible for like 2,000 COVID infections in S Korea. And 2) The number of people who have been conditioned that they can make diseases go away by not believing in them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing they all seem to stock up on is food. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are moving her mom and grandma to Maryland today to stay with us. This thing isn’t widespread right now in rural areas but rural hospitals are already short on supply and manpower. When it gets into the deep red, rural parts of the country, a whole different kind of ****storm is coming. We figured that it’s best her grandma is here, in a secure home and a few minutes drive to the best hospitals. Not in the parts of the country that are completely detached from reality. You all did the right thing. People think that running out to “the country” is a good bugout plan. In some cases it is, but the big issue with this option for any disaster is that rural areas have limited infrastructure to deal with an influx of city folk . In this case, it’s an especially bad idea because healthcare infrastructure is very limited in the vast majority of those areas. Many of them don’t have emergency rooms, limited ICU beds/staff, have a shortage of doctors, many of them older and hence at major risk from the virus themselves. Also, most of them are financially strapped and may not have stockpiled as much as they’d probably have liked to. I’ve seen rural communities pull together during emergencies, but at some point, that’s just not nearly enough. On another note, DeBlasio is an idiot. It’s not a partisan thing for me. If you’re not actively telling your constituents what to do to save themselves and your community, you’re an irresponsible moron.

Don’t cause riots Ya, anything closed "indefinitely", the next question is always when they open back up again. If we close anything, it assures an economic collapse, that's the lesson we need to learn from China. They figured that out before it happened. But damage was already done.

I have a 12 year old and 14 year old I could put on a treadmill while I binge watch a few shows. 1 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
