We have to get serious on quarantines before we can expect to get any better. Restaurants are still full, churches up and running, grocery stores swarming with people, etc. Lockdown may be the only out. I've resisted the crisis mentality so far, but I may have to go buy a few bags of beans tomorrow.

My wife just told me that the Italians weren't treating any Coronavirus patients over 80. Glad I don't live in Italy.

From what I’ve hear, they are doing triage and the reason we (the US) should take social distancing seriously. If it hits hard at one time we overload our medical system (a la what is happening in Italy). We won’t have enough icu beds or ventilators to go around. Then we will have to choose who gets to use them.

social distancing slows infection rates and spreads the burden on the system out while there is still time.

The current events remind me of the time many years ago when I used the restroom at a fast food joint in Muskogee. It looked like someone had thrown the contents of a large box of Milk Duds and a pitcher of lemonade everywhere in there. As he approached the disgusting looking sink in said restroom after doing his business, the gentleman in front of me looked at it, said “Hell, my d**k’s cleaner than this place”, and walked out without washing. So did I.

I was at a out of town meeting. A guy there walks in washed his hands then takes a leak. I said man you do that afterwards. He said I always wash before, my junk is the cleanest thing on me. I immediately though of this. I never am shaking that dudes hand.

Have they closed the casinos yet?

mgm is taking it seriously enough to close its casinos on the Vegas strip I believe.

On thing I read was a person discussing how surprised he was. Said he was on the bomb squad in Vegas and had specific plans in place for an IED on the strip that would allow the casinos to continue to operate without interruption because every minute would cost them more money than they risked staying open or some such
