My home town is getting shut down here in SD since they have linked new cases to being community spread and not people catching it elsewhere and bringing it home.  Hopefully they get a quick handle on it since this is where my daughter and SIL have set up home as RNs.

God bless the medical staff's...I have a niece and her husband on the medical front lines and they've got a newbie at home. Scary times indeed.

In Florida, it was spring breakers , what's California's excuse?

The pic in this story from East Boca Raton and the boaters are at Lake Boca Raton which is about 300+ yards from my house. I walk over that bridge almost every day in the morning. The intercostal and that small lake area are not under the jurisdiction of the Boca Police (its a state thing) so they can't do anything to stop the idiots. But they called on the Governor and its stopped now.

There is no excuse. Some people are irresponsible. Some people are stupid and selfish. There are people trying to hoard and make money off this. There is exploitation all over. Some people are not taking it seriously enough. Some people are helping others. There are all kinds of people in this country and we are going to continue to see examples of that fortunately and unfortunately.

Good luck Zan
Man I really hope for the best for you. 
Prayers sent.

Every day that passes gives me one more reason for insecurity but thankfully nothing close to me or someone close to me getting it.

Let me now make my appologis for jokes I ignorantly made at the beginning. 

I've been shutting out national news for a while now so I was quite uneducated about what this really was going to be. I'm not sure I still fully understand but I at least know it's no joking matter.

at what point does knowingly putting others at risk become a criminal act?   I have heard of one case where a person wasnt feeling well so went and got tested, but went back to their job working with the public while waiting for their test result.... which came back positive.  IMO that kind of disregard for others safety should have serious consequences.

Or in my situation, I am quarantining.  We had a safety device on piece of plant equipment broken.  It's a plug and play unhook cables and mount, maintenance mechanic won't do it because it's "electrical" not his job.  I can call in a contract electrician, from Des Moines or drive in from Ames.  Whats the worst vector into the plant.  God bless our unions
