We're All Going to Die

New Jersey has joined California, New York, Illinois and Connecticut in issuing "stay- at home" orders. I have a story to post. I deided to put it here because it doesn't quite fit on the Wonderful Architecture Work thread. At least I don't think it does.

Army Corp of Engineers races to provide 10,000 hospital rooms for coronavirus response - AOL

The Army Corps of Engineers is planning to create more than 10,000 ICU-type hospital rooms in hotels, dormitories and other available buildings in New York City over the next few weeks, its commander said Friday.

I've picked up enough basics (pasta, soups, coffee, soda, soap & toothpaste, breakfast bars, etc.) that we get along for 14 days, maybe 30 if we're really digging for the last of the stuff at the back of the cupboards. We probably have 3 or 4 weeks worth of TP. I wouldn't mind having an extra 2 weeks worth in case we get locked in or they shut the state down.

They said that you should have some cough syrup and a couple of basic cold/flue medicines on hand, so I grabbed a bottle for each of us.

I'm not about to hoard stuff, but I don't want to be short handed either.
 
My daughter ( the one in Toronto) has tested positive (actually her roommate did). But since she has a cough and fever too she is presumptive. Mild symptoms for both of them but they are young. And once they are done with it they are done with it. Almost jealous.

We are going food shopping when needed, about twice a week (actually Mrs Scotch). It's calmed down, and supplies are getting better. And seafood is cheap. She wears gloves and a mask.

I hope she's doing better soon. Best of luck to her!

I was thinking about gloves for the grocery. I've got a box from some home improvement project a while ago. I might as well put some in the car.

Hope she fares well through it.


For me, day 3 of (mostly) staying home.
Started working from home on Thursday until further notice.

Watched "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" on Disney+. Hadn't seen that one in years. Good movie.

She's in her 30s. So far a mild flu according to her. How's your uncle's mom doing?
 
In the United States, there are now 26,867 confirmed cases of the coronavirus and 348 deaths. New York has the most cases, 11,677. Washington has 1,793, California has 1,505, New Jersey has 1,327, Michigan has 807, Florida has 763, Louisiana has 763, Illinois has 753, Massachusetts has 525 and Colorado has 475. There are even eight confirmed cases in Hawai'i and 12 in Alaska.

Many hospitals are facing shortages of PPE (personal protective equipment) and medical items and are asking the public to donate face masks, gowns, gloves, hand sanitizer, disinfectant wipes and other items. A website has been set up to match donations with needs:

I saw two people in their cars rolling down my street with masks on texting with no hands on the wheel yesterday. Y'all stay safe ya hear? And leave some of the TP for the rest of us. ha.
 
Sunday is a day of rest – but not for the coronavirus. The worldwide death toll is now 14,461. That includes 5,476 in Italy, 3,261 in China, 1,756 in Spain, 1,685 in Iran, 562 in France, 296 in the US, 281 in the UK and 179 in the Netherlands. Kentucky Republican Rand Paul is the first United States Senator to test positive for the coronavirus.

The 2020 Summer Olympics is scheduled for July 24 to August 9 in Tokyo but almost all sporting events throughout the world have been canceled or postponed because of the coronavirus pandemic. Many of the Olympics qualifying events have been canceled and there are growing calls for the Olympic games to be canceled as well. Perhaps by the time of the 2024 Olympics in Paris, life will be back to normal.

Ohio has issued a Stay at Home order for the state starting Monday night 11:59 pm till April 6th.
Unfortunately, the stores are going to be insane today and tomorrow, and will be picked over for the next few after that.

I'm curious how things will go with work. It's a small office, and isn't really set up for working from home. I've suggested that we can take our PC's home with our files on thumb drives. I know that I can be very productive working that way, and it would help keep me from going stir-crazy.

So not even grocery stores will be open? Or delivery services?
