COVID-19

... Fwiw, I think the entire country should have been put on lockdown which is the only way to stop the spread and flatten the curve. Obviously small rural towns unaffected by the virus could work around this but all the cities of any size should have been doing this all along. It is mind boggling that people are still going to beaches where crowds are incubating the virus then spreading it all over the country when these people go back home, especially those showing no symptoms but spreading the virus.

...I went out for the first time in the Chicago suburbs yesterday to stock up with some produce and other food at Whole Foods and wore surgical gloves, kept my distance and touched nothing I did not need to touch and threw the gloves out when I got home. Interestingly about 10 people wore masks which I would have if I owned one, an about 10 others wore gloves. But by and large most people acted like there was nothing different going on, crowding together and not keeping 6 feet spacing, touching their faces and many surfaces. People ... sigh. I hope everyone here is using common sense and staying safe. 

Small rural towns are about to get a rude awakening as well. Today we had our first official case in a town of about 5,000. Who knows how many people they had contact with before feeling bad enough to go to the hospital. Nobody really takes any precautions in these small towns because “nothing ever happens there!”
My boss may actually stay home now.

Not to worry. I plan on reporting them to the BBB when I get around to it. Not that it will help.

Yeah, I agree.

Just amazes me where some priorities are. True colors show in a time of adversity, and some of them are a putrid shade I’d prefer not to see again.

Our mayor just announced that Honolulu is now shelter in place effective immediately starting tomorrow. Governor went on the news yesterday to announce that anyone entering the state would be forced to quarantine beginning Thursday (to allow folks to hopefully cancel their trips). This should've been done a while ago but every one kept pretending it wasn't a thing.

So I likely played my last round today with @mr.hicksta since he's headed to California, and my last round for the foreseeable future as this is supposed to last until 4/30 😭😭😭.

The world is f****** weird right now, pardon my French, but we're gonna make it! Wash your hands, use common sense, and stop being a contributing member of society in this case 🤙🏽. Stay safe MGS fam!

Not sure what I watched last night... but I am now dumber.

I might be dumber as well, but at least I had fun.  Caddyshack was on last night; don't know why we watch it on live tv since it's edited for content.  We have multiple DVD copies.  However, my wife, BIL, and I were quoting it before the lines were said.  I think we could turn the sound off and do the voices.  Wellll, we're waiting!

There are pics of New York floating around from yesterday with very large gathering of people out and about with no distancing at all. Gov Cuomo was not happy about it.

Michigan locking down at midnight... crazy.

My dad works in healthcare, and my mother in law works at the post office.

Both have contact with many people per day.

I wonder when the rest of the states follow suit.

I am about to go the grocery store, took some time to build up the courage. Mostly because I don’t trust other people... were they in Miami on spring break? Maybe a trip to San Fran last month...

Worst part about this damn thing, worrying about people that don’t give a rip...

Just found out one of the guys in our Tuesday group is self quarantine. His son and family was visiting last week and now his son has been found positive for the Virus. It’s getting too close.
This guy and his family needs our prayers.
Also guys please don’t politicize this Virus.
Thanks

It could also be that many modern TV's are "smart" and could potentially provide a backdoor into a computer if they are connect to your wifi.


If it’s a smart TV, yes. There could be an attack vector. If its normal, non-smart TV that would mean no local network access. No network port, no WiFi.

I suppose it’s possible to hack in though the HDMI port but given that the vast majority of TV’s are used as TV’s, it’s unlikely someone would try that route. Too many variables to account for.

Possible though.

Naw... it's just a very bad situation right now. Everyone here has conducted themselves very well...IMO. It's extremely hard not to express an opinion... one way or the other, under these circumstances. I can keep politics out of it, but I am very stressed out right now. I can't even access the ohio unemployment site to apply for unemployment becaus e the site is crashed. I mean, who would have thought to bolster the site and prepare for this ,when you put thousands of people out of work in one day?

Fortunately, I have been furloughed. That means I get to go back to work when this ish is over with. I hope the best you and your son.... and your extended family. None of us has ever been through anything like this, no matter our respective ages. We will get through this!
