Covid-19

[ANC]

Personally we have meagre supplies, but enough to last a while if we have to.
The shopping chains have massive warehouses the size of several residential blocks, it will just take a little while to restock all the retailers

I went shopping before the president did his speech so I could get what we needed without much fuss., and we bought some lamb last week, so we will be good as long as there is power

Supply chains no longer have large warehouses, most have converted to "Just in time" supply chain.....
In switching to JIT over a weekend in 1998, eliminated buffer inventories, reducing inventory from 47 days to 5 days, flow time from 15 days to 2 days, with 60% of purchased parts arriving JIT and 77% going dock to line, and suppliers reduced from 480 to 165.[42]

My question is how do I pick boogers if I can't touch my face? Get a big crochet hook and sanitize it?

They started that stupid shit where I worked in the 90's.

Reduced inventory costs, but everytime a processing facility would break down, everybody down stream would have nothing to run that shift.

There were dozens of times I went to work with nothing to do because of bottlenecks. They weren't making money paying my crew to sit there all night, but whatever. CEO knows best. Lol.

Just read the 1st death in Las Vegas from the virus.
While MGM is planning to close it's casinos, then it's hotels, Stations is planning to stay open for the moment.
I was curious what the red rock in Summerlin looked like.
Went in to take some pics and immediately headed out.
Poker room with normally 10 tables going had one short handed game.
Sports Book was almost empty
The 1pm red rock bingo has a cash ball of $28K. It's the largest cash ball out there at the moment and this usually draws a crowd.
The cash ball is I-40 this session. If someone wins bingo with I-40 they get the $28K.
150 people give or take is what would be a normal crowd because of the cash ball drawing people in. I'd say there were about 80 people there. I'd be surprised if the bingo halls aren't shut soon.

Be Safe!

Poker Room.




Sports Book.


Bingo.

With all the time I have I'm rolling out a new clone and back up strategy on my computer network. Last link in the chain is getting cloned as I type. I threw another hard drive in my linux box and will format it to back to!

Went to the post office early and watched all the people with magical gloves touching the door then their purses and steering wheels.

All hail Darwin! Fewer but better (Lenin)

touching the door then their purses and steering wheels.

Whenever I come home from "out", I always wash with soap/water but just realized I never sanitized my outside apt door handle, so when I get the mail, etc...duh.

Trump said today July or August till we're through it.

But he didn't say what year.

I think the summer may be shot, no vacation this year. It's going to be a long, tough year.

On a positive note our little store had eggs, bread, and milk. My TP inventory is at 16 rolls, we're good for awhile.

Toronto just ordered all restaurants and bars to close their dinning rooms. Trudeau ordered all the borders closed to foreigners with an exemption for US citizens... apparently we're only importing our covid cases from the US now, WTF? Still no national state of emergency so quarantines are not enforceable, merely a suggestion.

I know all the news says don't panic, but I'm starting to panic a bit. It feels like we're on the cusp of the collapse of society. It won't take long for people's food and money to run out if all the stores are closed and nobody is working. I don't know how to hunt or fight or even have a gun and butcher knife probably won't get me very far. If this all goes to shit, I think a lot of us in the city are truly screwed. I've seen enough walking dead episodes to know how this goes.

Just always remember that the first rule of any gunfight is “have a gun”.

Might as well just start eating people’s faces to stave off starvation
