Covid-19

“I don’t think it’s a good idea for Oregonians to be able to pump their own fuel. There’s a few of us designated, trained attendants who touch the pumps and we’re taking the proper safety precautions,"

Trained to pump gas? This guy seems to think he's some kind of Petroleum Transfer Technician. People pump their own gas in the other 48 states. It's not rocket science and requires no training.

Oregon temporarily lifts prohibition on self-service gas in response to coronavirus

The Oregon State Fire Marshal's Office on Saturday temporarily suspended the state's requirement that most drivers have their vehicles refueled by gas station attendants, in order to reduce workers' potential exposure to coronavirus.

Petroleum transfer engineer, please

The U.S. Tried to Build a New Fleet of Ventilators. The Mission Failed. (Published 2020)

As the coronavirus spreads, the collapse of the project helps explain America’s acute shortage.

Not surprising. The goal was to save lives not make a profit. Because of that it was doomed to fail from the beginning.

Weather Underground added a layer tracking cases and deaths by county. Sac county is 3.6% mortality rate, 164 cases and 6 deaths ( if I did the math correctly).

You gotta remember case #'s are going to go up due to more testing......we're not #1 in deaths.....

Due to the lack of testing in the United States the numbers are low for confirmed cases. The reason we're not #1 in deaths is because we have excellent hospitals. But as those run out of capacity we're going to see a spike in deaths due to a lack of immediate treatment and we have been very slow to respond towards getting the equipment needed. Everyone's busy arguing over who gets how much profit and who's in charge. It's a frickin joke. This should have been nationalized a month ago with the government mandating factories start making what's needed. Damn election year garbage. Lives will and are being lost due to bullshit from jackasses.

We are not number one in deaths but we are very early in this pandemic and have yet to see the results of spring break also

Medical and first responders are getting sick

This is I95s right at Ga/Fl line. All south bound traffic is being diverted to the truck stop for inspection before allowed any further. I was dropping my daughter off and have to travel back south. Luckily the backroads were smooth sailing.





as you can see, no traffic heading north.

Any wonder I have a bugout spot in the hills?....

My mom, dad and brother all are essential employees in hospitals......I've been keeping busy so I don't worry to much. But this is exposing all of the weakest links all over the world..........hopefully we learn from this and are more prepared next time. This will happen again.

I'm just here for the duration, hoping for the best outcome. I just need to ensure the wife doesn't get it, I believe she would be a casualty.

So, our governor says my county must stay home.

OK.

And that we should only go to the store once a week.

But they're always out of shit and you kinda have to go 2 or 3 times a week and get things when they are available.

If I could buy 3 milks and always get 4 rolls of TP, whenever I wanted to, I would be able to get by with once a week store visits.

Maybe they should send $50 less in relief money and send everybody 50 rolls of TP, it would ease anxiety quite a bit.

Many people accused of hoarding were just trying to minimize their exposure risk by multiple trips to the store

My dad used to buy 1000 roll cases of Scott Tissue.

He wasn't a hoarder, he just always bought non perishable things the cheapest way possible.

I'm going to try to be more like him going forward. I like saving money too .

@tyler.durden How you doin' Tyler?

You are super sweet, BB. Thanks for thinking about me. I was in the hospital yesterday because for breathing issues related the virus. I'll write a full synopsis for you guys after I'm done practicing (after 10pm). Doing okay, though...

Oh boy, another 30 days

Oh boy, another 30 days

That's 1000X better than pretending it would go away by Easter.

My birthday is June 8. I hope we are on the downhill slope by then. 50/50 chance.
