So guys... I hit the fucking jackpot today. A power plant called me out of the blue after being referred from another client, they had a major failure and had to shut down since a spare part was not available onsite.

I had the part in stock, but with them not being a contract client I wasn't really super motivated to go since I would have to work in their control room around a bunch of people to fix it.

They were desperate, and said they had a brand new welding respirator they would give me to wear while I worked and I could keep it afterwords... and they would still pay me for the call.

I had never even heard of these things before, they have a HEPA and in this case also a charcoal filter that's remotely mounted with a small battery powered fan to provide purified air under positive pressure to the helmet which totally seals around your neck, so it doesn't matter if you have a beard and it covers your eyes, ears, and nose completely.

Fuck N95, this is a N100!!! They go for somewhere around $1,500 new... this thing is the shit. The welding mask is auto-darkening so you can see through it normally until it detects an arc. They seem to be still fairly available online, so if you have the cash it's totally the way to go.

Anyways I repaired their issue allowing them to start back up and the very first NH Liquor store I passed I made a bee line for... I had been getting dangerously low on Tito's. People are pretty used to seeing customers with masks on now, but everyone definitely paused for a second when I walked in wearing one of these:

Belgium has a special way of counting the deaths.

Experts say all deaths in nursing homes are added to the total deaths even if they didn't have the virus O.o

Hi GLP family. Missed you guys and gals. Just wanted to check in and see how everyone is holding up.

I think we have another 3 weeks or so to go until the worst of this 1st wave is over.

Economic doom is right around the corner but hasn't taken hold yet.

If you don't know much about lead vs lag indicators of things, look into it.

Hi Jackal!! hi

We were wondering about you last evening, and hoping all is well.
 Quoting: Lady Jayne Smith


Hi Lady J and Croc!

All is well here (trying my hardest to keep it that way)

I've been keeping busy trying to keep life normal and happy for the family so I haven't been on here much- hasn't been much new to say about the situation.

I do think things are starting to flatten in the hardest hit areas, but other places are only seeing the beginning.

Flattening of new cases is a good thing, but keep in mind we are still at the peak in the hardest hit areas. There will continue to be large numbers of deaths every day in even the flattened off areas for a few more weeks before things subside.

So it's not over there for them- it's still bad but there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Unfortunately in other large metropolitan areas it is only just starting to ramp up (Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, etc)

I don't think anyone knows for sure but it would be smart to assume that this is just the first wave. If history is a lesson, then summer will be quiet before it comes back again in the Fall.

Again, the economy is a lagging indicator- the effects of all this won't get truly bad financially for a few months.

Afternoon, Larry! And WB Jackal, good to see you're still making it in hf

Larry, I hope all is well with you and yours. I know that there's been some sill weather back that half of the country (my parents, north of you by a bit, actually had some hours of snow last week, flakes bigger than silver dollars... LOL)

I found out on Easter, talking with Mom, that my nephew and his fiancee have what the doctor is presuming is / was COVID. They had traveled to NY for work, came back, did the mandatory 14 day voluntary, no issues. The following week, my nephew left the house ONCE to grocery shop for them. Two days later, both were coughing, and the next day my nephew could barely breathe with the effort of TAKING OUT THE GARBAGE :(

Apparently they now feel like they are on the mend - I've told my mother to warn them that this is the time to be SUPER vigilant, as they don't want to relapse. They're young, and quite strong, so I think they should be OK as long as they continue to rest and take care. DR has told them that if ANY symptoms get worse, or new show up, that they call him ASAP so he can arrange medical transport - I sure hope it doesn't come to that!

Also, the mayor of a neighbouring island has tested positive as of yesterday. It's the home of the native band that actually owns a lot of THIS island, and they have a really good private medical center there (a lot of ppl here use it rather than the public health center) so the outlook there is OK so far, and hopefully no spread. As far as we no, still no confirmed cases have made it here yet... crossing fingers.

Back to work I go, just wanted to let you know what was up. I'll pop in here and there :) Take care of yourself and the family, and be careful!

South Dakota, one of five remaining states yet to issue a statewide stay-at-home order, now has one of the largest coronavirus outbreaks in the United States—with 300-plus cases at the world’s biggest pork processor Smithfield Foods, raising concern about coronavirus spreading through processed meat and how South Dakota’s rural healthcare facilities will fare with the disease.

Made it back.

Report from HEB in a town a bit north of Houston:

Produce at about 80%, meats at about 60%.

Limits on eggs and bread; both at about 50%.

Coffee getting low, at about 40% -- THIS IS SOME BAD SHIT!!!!!!!!

Some flour, some sugar -- at about 25%.

Milk and other dairy stocked.

Sparse TP, limit of 2. I scored last family pack of Cottonelle, and another 6 pack of store brand, both mega rolls.

Cleaning supplies at about 25%. Very low on dishwasher detergent.

Wine and beer at about 80%.

 Quoting: CleverCreator


I noticed that the lowest is flour; you do not mention it, but yeast must be just as low, or lower, and without that you don't make acceptable bread.
Hope that you have a good reserve of flour and dry yeast; otherwise you can try to make it yourself.

I have 3 pounds of yeast in the supplies. Did not even think to check the yeast at the store, but did notice they had baking soda, but only about 25% of normal.
 Quoting: Lady Jayne Smith


Flour has been the biggest issue here, none to be found in any local areas. My wife and MIL are making a trip to her house to check on things (it's currently shuttered while she stays here) and cut the grass, etc. While there, they're taking a couple of grocery deliveries, including flour, which we pre-ordered for timed delivery to be on the safe side. They're there for 5 days, and the deck is covered, so they can air and clean it sufficiently before bringing it back.

I wish I could be the one to go, but I have to work, and it's hard to move my whole setup. I can do it in a pinch with only two systems, but it's a PITA, and they wanted to go, promised to be safe.

Booze is NOT a problem - local pub is opening 2x daily for offsales, text in order and pick up in the parking lot, and the local grocery has BC liquor depot integrated, they're still getting stock (just takes 2 hrs to get into the store with limited ingress.)

Meat is a concern with so many Can / US packers having issues, so they're going to fill the huge cooler chest to stock both locations just to be on the safe side.

Has this been shared? I got an update on the cruise industry. They had voluntarily closed down for thirty days. Now, the CDC has mandated that they close or not operate for one hundred days. They have been complying and working with the federal government, but last I read they had not commented on the 100 day notice of closure.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78420178


Yeah, that tips the scale for me. This is an escaped laboratory pathogen.
 Quoting: Riff-Raff


I reached this opinion also.

Or........someone went rogue and they had to cover up.

But it came from that Lab, IMO.

I don’t however think there is any chance whatsoever it was a sanctioned Chinese government attack lol.
 Quoting: Ayr Phorce Yuan


We had this discussion three months ago.

It is most likely a bio-weapon that got out of the Wuhan Lab.
After all, China is known for their outstanding Quality Control procedures.

Remember that appointments to all of these government positions under SocialIsm is based on POLITICAL RELIABILITY, not competence. Same for the local leadership. When the locals realized that something got out, they told Beijing it was just the flu, they have it under control. They arrested doctors and others trying to get the truth out.

When Beijing did finally realize what was really going on, they came in fast and hard, arresting local leaders (Who later ended up dead, imagine that!), and locked everything down.

But by then, it was far too late.

This entire affair has been a textbook example of the failures of Socialism,, and political correctness.
 Quoting: Flying Elvii


The fact that it came from a lab does not automatically make it a bioweapon. It could have come from vaccine research. I have no doubt it came from the level 4 lab at this point. But the jury is still out on whether or not it is a deliberately constructed bioweapon.

Also, the mayor of a neighbouring island has tested positive as of yesterday. It's the home of the native band that actually owns a lot of THIS island, and they have a really good private medical center there (a lot of ppl here use it rather than the public health center) so the outlook there is OK so far, and hopefully no spread. As far as we no, still no confirmed cases have made it here yet... crossing fingers.

Back to work I go, just wanted to let you know what was up. I'll pop in here and there :) Take care of yourself and the family, and be careful!

Hola, my penguinish pal.

Weather here, in a word, sucks.

Other than that we're hanging in there.

Yes, stock meat, it's going to be in short supply.

Glad you're still dodging the bullets, stay hunkered down, nothing to be gained by going out too early.

The worse this crisis gets the less likely Trump gets reelected imo.ots been a disaster class in response from all institutional and government departments.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78719049


I don't see any govt that handled this well. I don't know there is a good way to handle a global pandemic, sourced by a bio weapon.

In retrospect, the only way to stop this bug, would have been to turn China into glass early last December. Even then, chances are this thing was already seeded globally, and the above action would have only postponed the hell we are experiencing.

So, what will tards do? Vote for senile Uncle Joe? I doubt it. Even with Trump's shortcomings, I am damn glad he is at the helm and not Hilda, Uncle Joe, Bam Bam, or any other similar weak minded and/or self serving types.

Here's the reality of this situation.

Things rarely turn out to be the worst, or best case scenario.

We had a bad virus show up, and our governments stepped all over our rights to contain it.

Their containment efforts didn't do shit, but they did manage to lower the bar for what we'll except in terms of our rights being shit on.

The virus spread far and wide, and was unchecked by our bullshit containment methods. This could of been the big one, none of us would have known in advance, so being prepared, is always the best option.

Personally, I have set myself up for long term off the grid living. I have been at home mostly, and I've been very cautious when I've been out. I don't think this virus is a big deal, but I'm also not trying to tempt fate.

I give no fucks about people's hysterical opinions, and I don't fuck with nothing burgers either.

I want facts, numbers and stats. I'm not one to gamble for shits and giggles (Shiggles) but I will play the odds, when it comes to putting distance between my family and starving.

I'm not always optimistic, but I could see the trends a couple weeks ago, and from what I can see, this virus something, that I should starve my family for.

I'm willing to make some concessions, for the greater good, but at some point, I believe we need to take our chances.

This thread has been owned by lunatics who only see a worst case scenario, they refuse to see any evidence, that doesn't support their positions.

Please get the fuck over your shit, and take in all of the facts.

Fact:

R0 6
Doesn't effect/ cause death for most young people
There is a chance of reinfection
Shutdown wasn't strong enough to do shit
50% of Iceland already infected
70% of Italy infected
Masks aren't perfect, but they help
FACTS FACTS FACTS


If we could please get this thread back to facts, and chat about how we're dealing with this, that would be great. Really getting tired of the we're all gonna die bullshit, when the evidence just isn't there.

My lady might have cancer and that's a fact. That's some real local doom for me. This virus on the other hand, hasn't produced those kind of facts.

The economic impacts from attempted containment could literally cause a billion people to starve to death. This is a fact, that this thread like to tiptoe around.

We're so worried about catching the sniffles, that we can't see the fucking doom right in front of our faces.


This virus had a chance, but it's not the end.

It is not a fact that the Ro is 6.

 Quoting: Willo


Sorry, but on that one fact, you are incorrect. Median R0 of this virus for the United States is 5.7. I have documentation from our state department of health to back that up. Note that is the median R0. So it's higher in some areas and lower in others.
