wvu80 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 The West Virginia governor yesterday announced all non-essential businesses must close by 11p tonight. That includes bars, inside dining, casinos. In my world I just paid $1.81 for a gallon of regular gas. This morning I played my last game of racquetball for a month. The club I go to 6 days a week just announced they are shut down until at least April 17. No toilet paper at Sams Club, no meats, very little canned food unless you like Lima beans. I would estimate car traffic on the road is down at least 50%. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richieb Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 I see floating hospitals may be deployed in light of hospital/testing shortages. That’s great news but by the time a canal is dug from the Gulf to KC I’ll be long dead - Covid 19 or not. Guess I’ll put what I have left in a used Cat backhoe — 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is 1 official Wuhan Virus case confirmed and then there's someone they are referring to as "Citizen X" who gave it to that 1 poor bastard. https://www.kgns.tv/content/news/Emergency-City-Council-meeting--568887491.html yes this will unfortunately happen again and again........and again and again....nobody can protect themselves against that 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He delivers the mail and if you pick up the mail within a couple hours then you have the virus. JJK I get the mail, open if urgent, if not, put it on a sheet of paper on a separate table and will deal with it when it has "aged" Wash my hands after putting down, my wife turns the water on for me and puts some soap in my hands. We are a team. These problems are not really difficult. Just think of solutions. 2 hours ago, Woofers and Tweeters said: Thank you, keep these coming.

If you divide 8 billion by 8 thousand that is one in one million. Bad math, your denominator is wrong. You are assuming that the new cases and deaths will stop right now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas has 64 cases, so far. WV has on confirmed in the whole state. Not really going anywhere with that, just odd on the numbers. It will be interesting to watch the numbers now that the restrictions are put in place. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm about 10 miles outside of town, then once you get here we're on a peninsula, of (guessing) 800 acres, 500 of which is public woods & trails, and we're on 250. We're surrounded on three sides by the lake. Only 6 houses out here so we're isolated simply by waking up in the morning. Watching the news, it's (perhaps justifiable) drama, drama, drama.... when you look at our daily lives here, it's really life as normal since we're already so remote. We don't personally witness any of the actions going on other than what's on the TV. This ^ I live away from everyone too. I never thought once about pissing off the neighbors when I bought the MCM-1900 😎 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
