I have no idea of the impact on my job or what I will be required to do.
I'm off on Mondays, but I'm sure I may find out what it means to my job.
To be honest, the idea of having to deal with work right now, isn't that appealing.
People are just too stupid.
As someone who has asthma, I really don't want to find out what this virus can do.
In Fumo Pax Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.
Until the entire country takes this very seriously I don't see this being resolved anytime soon. We waited too long and ignored the early warnings of the CDC and other Pandemic experts.
Say what you want but our Govt on all levels has failed every American. How they did not prep for this is beyond me especially when they had models and early warnings from other parts of the world.

I think the gov't was more concerned with money than people, engaged in wishful thinking.

Israeli doctor in Italy: We no longer help those over 60
Israeli medical doctor Gai Peleg told Israeli television that in northern Italy the orders are not to allow those over 60 access to respiratory machines.
Italy suffered more coronavirus-related victims than China with 4,825 confirmed deaths and 5,000 confirmed patients in the last 24 hours, Channel 12 reported on Sunday.
Israeli doctor Gai Peleg, who is currently working to save lives in Parma, Italy, told Channel 12 that things are only getting worse as the number of patients keeps growing.
As his department receives coronavirus patients who are terminally ill the focus is to allow patients to meet loved ones and communicate with them during their last moments despite the quarantine regulations. Other reports claim that, as the numbers of dead increases, some families find themselves unable to secure a proper burial for their loved ones.
Peleg said that, from what he sees and hears in the hospital, the instructions are not to offer access to artificial respiratory machines to patients over 60 as such machines are limited in number.
Israel is currently purchasing thousands of respiratory machines, and they are meant to arrive in the country by mid-May. On Saturday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israel is using every means it has to secure medical equipment to help patients during the pandemic.
He added that all health services in the world face shortages due to the rapid and unexpected nature of COVID-19.
Yup, and prior to the outbreak in Italy, they were promoting hugging Asians to denounce racism. They also have a terrible socialist system and virtually no way to treat the numbers of infected. Open borders and feel good leftist vibes for the win?
I guess not.
"Love is a dung heap, Betty and I am but a c.o.c.k. that climbs upon it to crow."
We were just put on a two-week quarantine by the county except for essential businesses. Nobody can tell us if we are in essential business. I am very torn on this. I believe for safety we should probably close for two weeks. I do believe everyone can survive without their ATV Or motorcycle for two weeks. But we are in a big farm community and a lot of farmers use their atv every day.
Yes, but that's not a reasonable assessment on its own. It takes time to recover. I was sick for 6 weeks this year, for example. If we look at the exponential rate of numbers infected and compare that to the death toll, it's more of a comparison to gauge severity. When the number of recovered climbs and the infections wane, that's the sign of the burn-off.

I was just told that my company is closing it's non-essential locations and laying of all hourly rate employees. All managers, who are salary, will be performing the duties of those laid off in our essential side of the business until further notice.

As of Friday's update on the CDC page, there are 33,404 cases in the US. Figuring 350 million population that's 0,0095 % of the people. Of those, 400 have died as a result; 1.12 % of those infected. Better than 98% survival rate. Yes, you're gonna feel like azz for a few days but the odds are overwhelmingly in favor of you surviving this unless you're immune system is compromised in some way.
It's serious, indeed. But is it serious enough to wreck society as we knew it? Methinks not.

Most the paper mills around here are working at full capacity making toilet paper and paper towels.
They are doing things differently, but still working.
So yes, they are considered essential.

Oregon issued a stay at home order.
As of 12:01 am tonight, we are ordered to stay at home, unless we are essential employees, going to the market, fuel station or a necessary place.
Tomorrow, I go to work and have several conference calls.
We are ordered to do nothing, nor have contact with anyone, until the conference call meetings. After that, it will be determined how or if we do our jobs.
I sleep very little as it is, but tonight will be a never ending night.
It is highly likely that I will take the next 3 weeks off, regardless of the outcome of the conference calls.

Here are some of Nancy's provisions that torpedoed the $2 Trill bailout bill yesterday:
Bail out all current Post Office debt
Allow early voting
Allow same day voter registration
Paid time off for union members engaged in collective bargaining
Stringent airline emissions requirements
Reporting greenhouse gas statistics for individual flights
Retirement plans for community newspaper employees
Federal $15 minimum wage
Permanent paid leave
A study on climate change mitigation efforts
and, of course, money for Planned Parenthood, and organization which annually contributes millions to the DNC
Once this thing goes thru, someone will no doubt compile one helluva list of all the pork that's in it.

The CDC estimates that there have been 20,000 to 40,000 deaths in the United States so far this year.
Just for comparison, that's a thousand times more deaths in the United States than have been blamed on the coronavirus so far.
Somebody mentioned "do the math", indeed. Please, turn off your television.
