Man, I really am a slowpoke. I went and read all the reports related to this thread, come and read the last 11 pages of the thread, and Rooks already got it taken care of.
The carpet companies that are the main source of my hotel's patrons are still sending their top four out of state execs to stay here weekly. All but one of them wears gloves when they deal with the front desk. Nice chums really.

I deliver medical supplies to nursing homes, long term care facilities, etc. on a mostly rural route in the Midwest. I was insanely busy just prior to and following our states shut down order, but my workload has decreased significantly in the last week or so. I think everyone stocked up so much they don't need anything now.
My wife is a medical professional so she's been steady busy this whole time. I feel bad for my kids, but I think they realize the gravity of the situation. Small sacrifices to protect themselves and others.
I feel like people are going out a lot more with the nicer weather moving in to my area, which is unsettling to me a bit. I honestly think I will not go into any retail stores or public places without a mask for a long time regardless of orders. With how this virus transmits I'm still very concerned about spreading it to one of my facilities unknowingly if I relax using PPE in public.

NY issues do-not-resuscitate guideline for cardiac patients amid coronavirus
This is clickbait. Previously the instructions were to provide cpr for 20 minutes.
At worst, it's triage.
Quote: New York state issued a blanket do-not-resuscitate directive last week instructing first-responders not to try to revive patients without a pulse amid increased call volumes and lack of resources during the coronavirus public health crisis, according to a report. Quote: Only about three or four out of every 100 patients found at the scene without a pulse can be revived at hospitals through CPR
Wasting "up to 20" minutes on a 3% chance under normal circumstances is reasonable. Not so much when the whole county is on fire.
What's not happening is if a civi is doing cpr and ems pulls up, they just tell them to stop and throw you in a body bag.

Given how its the New York Post its questionable on how accurate the report is.

I got paid my federal unemployment benefits today, backdated 3 weeks. So, I'm celebrating. Pizza time and Persona 5 Royale. Which I don't have time to play right now but I'll have it.
Texas is still bottom of the barrel in testing per capita, so, I'm still expecting June for Austin to reopen.

Celebrating unemployment by buying luxury items with unemployment check. Can’t make this ***up. I wonder what percentage of the $1200 Trump bucks and mass unemployment payments gets spent on things other than rent and food... and then people will complain they’re not being given enough.

Not saying that a ton of americans aren't going to be doing stupid ***like this, but the guy ordered pizza and bought one video game. Pretty ridiculous overreaction there.

lol, yeah, its called being financially stable. I can buy those things everyday, I'm simply choosing not to. If the government is going to hand out free money, I'm going to take it. Good laugh tho.

My pizza just arrived, this was a horrible financial decision. One large two topping for $9.99, instead of ordering a pepperoni and italian sausage, I should have found a way to get Canadian Bacon. Oh well, there is always tomorrow.

Whats the problem with buying luxury items with your own money?
1) You pay for unemployment while working, so when youre out of a job you have income until you find another job.
2) It stimulates the economy. Restricting what you can spend the money on does the economy no good.

Been ordering Asian food here and there, poor guys have had their activity destroyed by this situation. They respect social distancing and have been pretty clean with the stuff delivered so I can't complain.
At least I'm glad I could get FFVIIR somewhat on time, just had to wear gloves with soap on them.

Except for work boots, getting caught with those would give a wrong impression.

So, today was the first case of the virus being confirmed in my rural county.
This last week has been pretty insane to start. Most grocery stores have been emptied, toilet paper is non existent. Bars, hotels, and casinos have been shutdown as of yesterday, our town relies heavily on these sources of income. There are now rumors that our mine sites will soon be shutdown as well. I plan to withdraw a substantial amount of cash from the bank tomorrow morning, and hit every store I can get my hands on to get some groceries before the hoarding gets any worse.
I have heard of California being on total lockdown, as well of rumors of people even being imprisoned for attempting to leave the state.
Curious to hear how other parts of the country are getting along, surprised there isn't an official Corona-Virus thread here yet.
Crazy stuff.
