Says the guy stockpiling ammo.
CoVID-19
Talked to a guy yesterday who was jabbering about mandatory shelter-in-place. He stated quite clearly that that's martial law and nobody was going to tell him what to do. They would have to make him stop and he wouldn't stop nicely. Trumper guy, hard blue collar repair guy.
He is on maintenance staff for Wifey's building. Given she's a BoD member for the HOA and a C-Level at the company, I doubt he'll be there much longer. That's not the kind of person they want in the building. Avg px per condo is $800k last I checked and the population is very multiracial, so the owners have a certain expectation regarding the staff. You can be a Trumper, but that level is a bit over the top.
Don't disagree, but commentary has consequences. The PD I work with would put him on their short list to be conscious of if that was a known statement. Short list means guns are out very quickly when they come to chat with you...
My inventory is less than typical heading into competition season. I typically shoot 1000rds/mo, none of it at people.
Letter from Seattle: Amid COVID-19 pandemic, time to act is long past due
As chief and associate chief of the division of vascular surgery at the University of Washington, we immediately made the decision to continue to offer surgery to abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) patients with diameters over 5.5cm, dialysis access and surgery for critical limb-threatening...

Excuse me? Do I read this correctly? Is there a particular reason the feds didn't want people tested?
Edit:. Well that was a fun read.

I’ll take optics for $1000, Alex.
Because her research authorization was for flu research. It’s a gray area.

That's all well and good now. But that certainly wasn't the case at the time, in SEA.
yeah, just noting new approach that highlights the failure and how ‘tests coming messaging’ is already useless.
Dude, you don’t know anything about where I live. The area where I have been training for the AT is loaded with armed, Rebel Flag waving,Trump worshiping militia getting boners over the very though of shooting it out with the gov’ment.
Those guys are always a PBR away from ‘go time’, then the cosplay weekend ends.
Do you think maybe, just maybe I might have some inside info ? Nah, couldn’t be...
I dont know. Im not from there so I dont know these people like you do I guess.
But Jim Jefferies said it, theyre bringing a gun to a drone fight.
Maybe one or two are gonna act up and get mowed down and the rest will think twice.
lets just hope people dont go full retard...
That's basically what @Toshi posted from his hospital group a few days ago.
I was basically told that over a week ago, we're not going to do anything for you as you're not dead enough yet.

Supposedly nice weather in NYC has some areas looking like Florida beaches from the news this past week...
I would like to get well enough to get in at least one more bike ride before we make ourselves extinct.

Went grocery shopping, wasn't too bad at 2PM. Fresh produce mostly there, potatoes running thin, no flour, no frozen veggies, plenty of rice, limit on milk and no eggs. Not too bad considering.
On a positive note, this pandemic brought us Fiddlehead IPA in cans, yay. They can't sell to bars/pubs anymore so finally started distributing cans. My beer outlook is positive for the next ... 5 days.

I was trying to decide if being on a new 6-month stint on the ISS was good timing around now, or whether you'd be worried that there's not going to be anyone coming to get you 6 months from now.

The Pope says he has asked God to stop the coronavirus epidemic
Speaking to daily Italian publication La Repubblica on Wednesday, the Pope said he had asked God to stop the epidemic in Italy 'with his hand'.
Well, I feel better now. Maybe go to an orgy tonight, I dunno....
I had stopped drinking Fiddlehead a couple of years ago - so much better stuff out there...
ooff! Aboot time! (going out to lick some door knobs)Everyone, calm down.

good on you for keeping your usual schedule.
Hillbillies with guns like to talk shit until the guns are pointed at them. All but one of those dipshits in Oregon put their hands up, and it didn't end so well for the that didn't.
(look beyond this one tweet and read this)
As we await what is anticipated to be the swell of cases coming to all of our hospitals, a thought:
Do we have good evidence that social distancing will actually work? I had taken solace in limited city-level pseudo-experimental data such as those in the above tweet from Bergamo (locked down Mar 8) and Lodi (locked down Feb 23).
But meanwhile Italy as a country has not flattened its curve despite being more than the median incubation period from its countrywide lockdown. Could those cities' difference be explained by some other confounder, like different demographics or a large parade or the like? (I don't know.)
Simultaneously we have the example of Japan, which no one seems to be talking about. (China may not be applicable since 60M locked down +/- fabricated numbers to smooth that tail. South Korea tested and tracked, a stage that we are well past.)
In Japan there are not widespread lockdowns or travel restrictions, afaik. They have not thrown their economy into a tailspin as has the rest of the world. They are not undertesting grossly as are we (and Russia, and Africa, etc.). Yet their infection and especially death rate is low.
Is it because they already wore masks as social custom when even possibly sick? Is it because they washed their hands regularly before? Do ethnic Japanese express ACE-R at different rates?
As this drags on I hope that the scientists in public policy are paying attention to what works, and what doesn't. Because we are trying to be Italy, only reacting earlier, yet what Italy's been doing doesn't look that great at this snapshot in time...
