Neverending Covid-19 Coronavirus



It's good to be me right now (see signature)...

But, in all seriousness, my wife called me earlier and told me that the company she works for (a coffee chain) are closing all of their cafés for the next two weeks. She's the kitchen manager for Northern California so she won't need to make any food right now. They'll be paying all of their employees for the time being.
 
The screening Americans have to go through when returning to the United States is apparently a joke now that the travel ban has fully gone into effect.

Just saw read that someone's daughter just return from being in Europe this morning. They returned to the United States from Finland.

What was the screening? Certifying that you haven't been to China and making sure she didn't have a fever.

Nothing about having traveled to Italy, which this person had during her time in Europe.
 
Just got a text from my father to stock up and be prepared to be in quarantine for 2 months.

Said he has a friend in the military who works in the Pentagon and that marshal law and lockdowns similar to what's happening in Europe are possible within 2 weeks here in the United States.
I've been seeing too many headlines in the last 48 hours about NY possibly going into quarantine that I'm pretty certain it will happen.
 
Not saying this won’t happen. Not saying it will. Mostly saying I/we don’t know. But I’d be careful about the “heard it from a friend” (regardless where they work - ‘cause from experience, mil members can get just as wound up about rumors - that’s why we call it RUMINT). Especially when talking about something as big as martial law & 2 months of quarantine (however that could actually be executed)

Yeah, I work on a military base (with units from all branches), and we even had to get an angry "STOP SPREADING RUMORS" email on Friday, because the things people were saying were all over the place.

Preach!

I don't doubt at all that it's something that they are preparing for. the specialty hospital my wife works as a manager at is establishing all sorts of contingency plans depending on which way this whole thing goes, all the way to having staff essentially locked in working and sleeping there... that's the most extreme measure, but it's something they have to prepare for. I have to imagine that on a national level they're planning for the most extreme measures as well.
 
Is that a Steak and Seafood place that has locations in Florida?

If not they aren't the only ones doing this. I saw a post on Instagram last night where a chalk board sign in front of a restaurant in Florida listed this as one of their specials.
I don't know the restaurant, but my parents do snowbird to FL over the winter, so it probably is who you're thinking it is.
 
Happy I already work from home. I want to order Chinese to support a local spot but probably a bad idea since I'm in a big city?
