    Other times you realize someone forgot their pooper scooper and it's best to leave before it get all over your shoes. :scared007:

    News shorts:

    •Governors of Michigan and Nevada outlaw the malaria medicine's use for corona. Michigan governor threatens licenses of doctors and pharmacists defying the order.

    •L.A. county sherriff reverses his denial of the 2nd Amendment; gun stores can remain open (look up "roof Koreans, L.A. riots" to see why his idea was bad).

    •L.A. mayor warns of possible 2 month citywide lockdown.

    •Fauci says mortality rates may be much lower than originally projected...Birx says initial projections were wildly overstated....calls increase for ouster of WHO head who kicked off the panic with bad mortality estimates.

    •DOJ: Deliberately spreading virus, or threatening to, may result in terrorism charges.

    •Texas governor says restaurants may sell their bulk food as retail.

    But it's okay to "put others at risk" because you're "essential".



    Oh, and you've lost your regular "non-essential" job, but hey Kroger and Amazon are hiring. Where you can be surrounded by other people coughing on you.

    Let's all do our part to "slow the virus".

    Whole thing is stupid.

    Hopefully not for much longer. The administration is putting together (as I understand it) a county level hotspot advisory map to start things moving again across the nation.


    The problem will be resistance from mayors and governors who want to stay locked down.

    One hopes . Like people don't travel between counties . Talk about stupid. It will not happen widespread testing AFTER infections substantially decline.

    I get it that we need to stop the spread of Coronavirus and we must keep people safe. However, in our efforts to accomplish that goal, consider how many people will have their lives destroyed and how many will die in the upcoming recession/depression that’s in store of us all. We need a realistic balance here and an appropriate response from our governments.

    I certainly agree that government response should be appropriate and workers and small businesses need to be supported. One can look elsewhere in the world to see this is in fact possible. The US doing absolutely nothing while South Korea and others jumped on testing and contact tracing has landed us where we are. Any further failure to take the threat seriously by taking short cuts will guarantee the economic misery will be prolonged as the virus moves through new populations. Idaho and Tennessee included.

    My problem is, as you may have read in other ;posts, I'm going to end up as a long-haired clean-shaven hippie freak until the local barbershop is back up and running.

    I bet the lines outside, or number of customers waiting inside, at our barbershops, will be big when things get back to normal.

    Except for a once-or-twice-a-year tune-up, I leared to cut my own. It pays.

    I actually cut some off from my right side-as it was at an angle pointing away from the rest of my hair.

    Said it several times here before but I can't recommend enough the old Playtex hair trimmer, with original blades. They're out there, they're pretty cheap, and they work if you keep your hair short (but not buzzed short).

    I’m going to cut my hair this weekend. It definitely needs a trimming.

    Think how much panic it would cause if we reported influenza stats the same way they are doing with the coronavirus and it was every year
    Estimated 1 billion cases.... 300,000-600,000 deaths every year.
    Image the stats updated daily and talked about on the news 24/7.
    Even though it's not reported this way, the stats are still there and somehow we go about our daily life without much worry.:eatdrink047:

    I am going to need a haircut in a week or two. I have connections, and know people. Don't ask, don't tell. ;)
