C-19, Here's one 4 ya.

S-I-L and step daughter both work in hospitals. One is a charge nurse the other is EMT. Both have symptoms but can't get tested.

At the same time, two Trader Joes are closed for deep cleaning. Sign on their doors say they are closed because employees tested positive.

Now, how come mini-market employees can get tested but hospital health care workers can't?

Jar-jar is given the full treatment in the second season of this Netflix series. Turns out, he might just be a piece of shit.

COVID-19 Close casinos?

I haven't seen casinos in the list of stuff to be shut down.

Crowds form, especially in weekends.

Chips go from hand to dealer to hand. Hands are not sanitized between deals or spins.

Slot machines - you are sitting in rows of machines, in chairs, next to other people. Buttons are touched.


The virus stays live for hours while on objects.

Is the problem that there is too much tax revenue or that no one has thought about casinos during the emergency?

Shit be cray (Thanks, Ferret)-- Costco today. Union, N.J.

Cops shut the place down for an hour or so when people overwhelmed the place and the staff called police for help.

First of all, how long will it take for manufacturers to produce replacement t.p., sanitizers, paper towels and so forth? We can be sure that plants are running overtime because this is a money making opportunity for them.

How many months will the virus last. Will it exhaust itself like the 1918 flu? Of course, we don't know.

What are your plans when the stuff you bought today runs out in one or two months? I got a 1 1/2 years supply of Charmin tp because I bought a case yesterday as the supply in the closet was down to 6 rolls. When I went to put it in the cellar for storage, there were two other cases that I or Kathy bought maybe a few months ago and forgot about. Yeah, I'll use them some day so I will keep them.

Then we get to the produce items. Produce was nearly cleaned out in two stores I went to. Why would you horde produce? It ain't good for more than a few days.

Gas. Ain't nobody hording that. No lines there because the Saudis (our best buddies despite 9/11)
are trying to fuck over the Russians. How long will that last? But nobody is driving anywhere anyway because stuff is closed down or closing down. Peeps are staying home.

That's all I got for now. Just these random thoughts going through my head.
