CoVID-19
America doesn’t have a president, or a plan
60 days into the coronavirus crisis, the White House does not have a plan, a framework, a philosophy, or a goal.

Wisconsin's Supreme Court threw out ALL restrictions last night, statewide. Bars were packed within hours and everything is open effective immediately.
It'll be interesting and probably sad to watch the WI case/death stats over the coming weeks.

Bigly...
The numbers in Wi weren't bad to begin with but they were still growing, time to put the foot on the accelerator.
My company re-opened rather large manufacturing operations about a month ago. I haven't gone back in as my responsibilities are no longer tied directly to operations. However the total number of cases within the company has been cut in half during that time. Rather extraordinary measures have been implemented, mandatory masks, temperatures taken at the beginning and end of each day, handwashing stations everywhere, people required to clean up any space before and after they work in it. the results have been very positive but it is clear that things need to be executed with great discipline. It works here only because failure to follow the rules will result in disciplinary action and possibly fired for safety violations.
Well, at least the average Wisconsin resident is young and fit, so probably not at risk.Does it look like this?
Sorry, I'm just flabbergasted at Wisconsin today.
Oh, wait.
There are a lot of fat people who wear camo in the plant, but otherwise no.Does it look like this?

As if you’d send one that says “I hope you’re on a vent.” I totally would. Which is why I guess I work where I do.

Same over here.
Though we only have very light manufacturing operations going on this week, everyone has been prepping our two plants for the return of all the production employees. Things like mandating the flow of foot traffic through the buildings, ensuring operators are distanced from each other, plexiglass shields put up if they can't be distanced, big lunch rooms has been fully segregated and everyone is assigned a permanent seat, staggered shifts.......the list goes on. Our company as a whole has deployed an app that we must fill out with simple questions and our temperature before we can enter the buildings. No mask = go home.
It'll be interesting to see how it all works once production starts to ramp up next week.
I think people here may be taking it more seriously as we have had multiple employee deaths, one was working from home but one was a line worker who for sick early on.
I’m inclined to believe there are places and operations with low enough risk that this might not be a terrible idea.
What’s the latest on hospital bed capacity around the country now? Have the medical facilities been able to generally manage the demand for services with the resources available, or is that still a shitshow? I’ve got a family member who just went in the hospital. He’s a frequent flyer there, and stated things are fairly normal though x-ray services are a bit backed up.
MIL reports that although her hospital has capacity to take on new patients, they have a hell of a time finding places that will accept discharges. No assisted care facilities want to take on recovered covid patients, so she's forced to either convince a family member to provide care, or is stuck calling 25+ facilities, some of which aren't remotely close to home. Challenging situation for sure, and it's not getting any easier.
Watched that the other night. Hoe Lee Shit the only thing different in that movie is the missing hoards of idiots and our version is in slow motion.
Why are so many people getting sick and dying in Montreal from Covid-19?
The city is at the center of the crisis in Canada and Quebec is now the seventh deadliest place in the world for daily deaths

Have you seen the report about that old folk homes with the bad ventilation system?Why are so many people getting sick and dying in Montreal from Covid-19?
The city is at the center of the crisis in Canada and Quebec is now the seventh deadliest place in the world for daily deaths
100% of patients and workers infected.
I herd that.
Damn, no I didn’t
I've said from day one all building have to increase make up air it will cost more for heating and cooling but there will be less recycled air being inhaled.
Also MAU units with heat reclaim may be transferring the virus from the heat wheel back to the fresh air being pulled in.
Per code all exhaust vents and plumbing vents must be 10' from any fresh air intake that may no longer be far enough the virus may get exhausted out or the mushroom fan and be brought back in through the MUA unit or the economizer on the RTU to be evenly distributed throughout the facility
most facilities don't buy the expensive filters that may be able to stop the virus from re-entering the facility they hire the cheapest contractor to do filter changes quarterly
As I said before in just a dumb country boy with only a high school education but I'm not waiting for any government officials to tell me how to protect myself
I tend to agree.
As an individual, that doesn't mean I'm sitting in a crowded bar anytime soon.
I'm not going to a gym soon.

not too many restarant/bar supply companies will be surviving....if your favorite bar happens to make it....
While the wife and I haven't gone in a couple years, I ran into the owner of the local joint we used to drink at and he said he wasn't sure they would make it at the 6 week mark.
God damn it, as a Nor'Cacker, I think the Guv should actually be encouraging cultists to crowd into a small space as often as possible. Jeebus didn't wear a mask, and neither should they
