Dang, what a cad I am. (old England slang for an unreliable person) Re-realized that I get my dozen or so project updates on Monday from Sherry. Don't really know her other than the weekly updates, but about a week and a half ago I found out she lives in WuHan! Just sent her my personal well wishes! Thanks here for helping me keep it real!

And the strange thing about Spain! My friend talking to her friend in Spain, is that the people there are actually of a nature where they are really following the lockdown guidelines! Instead of going to spring break and such!

You need to build a spreadsheet that adds in the differences fields so we don't have to calculate in our own heads that after averaging about 6000 new cases the last date was 5000! Now I'm staring to sound like my bosses boss since we started telecommuting! OMG I've turned into one of them!!

On the survival side, my friend is scared, she has friends in Milan, Spain and France and the first hand accounts she hears she says are scary! Thing is Russia is somewhat of a closed country so they are behind, but it is coming! And yes the numbers are probably not reality! Haven't actually heard any stories of testing so who knows if it's propaganda or just don't know! Back on the humor side when things started to become clear in Russia one of the jokes was, Finally Russians can go visit the Museums and historic sites because all the Chinese Tourists are gone!

Talking to my best friend today, even she complained that the government in Russia had failed in that they had issued a stop work policy without issuing a stay in place policy! She said the parks were FULL of people! I'm worried about my friend and those around her!!!!!!!

In the mean time my Mimi's resteraunt posted this on their Facebook! Praying for the cook staff and wait staff and ownership of all resteraunt's! They are at the front lines of the economic disaster in front of us!

Sorry Joe didn't mean to like but wanted the sad face. Take care and hope evreything turns out well. Had surgery a year ago for a broken metatarsal bone in my wrist so I understand what you are going through. Get well my brother!

God bless you your boss and all of you on the front lines!! In the mean time, my bosses boss is piss..d we as first time telecommuters aren't feeding him the Power Point Presentations and Excel spreadsheets he is demanding? I guess in perspective, doing what is needed now to help the company come out on the other side is also important!

So Thursday I had to go in to the Pharmacy to pick up some meds, and it seemed to me like it was business as usual?? All of the businesses seemed to have normal amounts of traffic! I guess my perception wasn't wrong, my county scored an F!!!!

Social Distancing Scorecard map! I must be helping Georgia keep from getting a D because I probably am cutting out about 90 miles a day during the work week! https://www.unacast.com/covid19/social-distancing-scoreboard

Ahh the problems of trying to find a one solution fits all! Not to be political but the BIG government solutions are not solutions for you or me!

People, I had a somewhat friend live with me for three years plus. Only because otherwise he would have been homeless! He would utilize the emergency room like his primary doctor because they couldn't refuse him! He never paid any of his ER bills! Read somewhere, maybe here but at the begging of this I read that ER was complaining about how hypochondriacs were overwhelming ER! If you think you have symptoms, call your Primary office, or tellamed! If you don't have access to tellamed, PM me and I will give you my access! Stop overwhelming the hospitals!

Ahh the days of AM radio before TV became popular!

https://www.foxnews.com/world/south-africa-spain-restricting-dog-walking-amid-coronavirus-outbreak So my friend in Russia has a friend in Spain she has been talking to. She said dog walking had started to get out of hand, because neighbors without dogs were borrowing dogs to walk just so they could go outside. Said the dogs were getting walked so much they were starting to refuse.

I guess there is one advantage to getting your internet through a major cell carrier that hardly anybody else in the area uses. Not as much competition for band width!

Have to entertain yourself somehow with all of this lockdown!

And now China has another virus starting???? https://www.foxnews.com/health/hantavirus-kills-man-coronavirus-hit-china-32-others-tested-report

^^^^^ I understand why they park in the handicapped spot!

That brings back memories. Used to have a civilian job driving all over Ft. Benning in a truck. At least twice I could tell there was an Apache practicing their targeting on me. I just thought I'm glad I could help them practice.

It's pretty much the same here in Georgia and I drive on a two lane highway! We probably have a few more cars. But Trucks are the majority.

Praying for all involved! And here they finally decided to shut the plant down for two weeks.

Actually kind of upset that this post seems to have been completely blown by!! I am talking about people at ground zero! People I communicate with on a weekly basis!

There will be an end!! Talking with my vendor program manager in Wheat Ridge CO today, they have 11 direct Chinese employees. Two of them have been on lock down in WuHan, one of them I get weekly tooling updates from. They are now thinking come end of the month they will be allowed to go back to the office!

Georgia Governor just ordered the closing of Bars and Clubs and also barred any gathering of 10 or more people unless they can maintain a distance of 6'. Did not lock the state down, guess I'm still going to work tomorrow. That being said even our A.... director, admitted probably within a week we will be shut down. 5 of 11 assembly lines were shut down today because of no shows. Even though the company has said they will pay 2 weeks for Virus related missed days, we all know it will be more than 2 weeks. Praying for all the people on the line that make less than McDonalds employees!
