Anyone else here following the rules and getting frustrated that others aren’t?  I live in NYC but have been in Madison, WI since the beginning of March (stuck/enjoying it here).  I rented a house on Lake Monona, my lady and I are being strict about this, including deliveries, being outside and 6 feet away.   It was a beautiful weekend, and our neighbors are having parties.  6 people plus 2 kids at one, 5 mid 20 year olds at the other.  They aren’t hugging, shoulder to shoulder but they aren’t 6 feet apart.

We are the people who have it very good, it’s easy to be here therefore we should be the ones who must be strict about it, and these fucks are violating the rules.  It’s frustrating because if the people who can isolate easily are doing this, that means this is going to last forever.  

1 STAY THE FUCK INSIDE if you live in a city
2 If you do go outside, 6 feet damnit

We all have to pay attention to these rules, it will make it easier for those who can’t (low income communities, etc).  

Just venting

i dropped a few F bombs at walmart saturday morning and they were plenty loud for the offending party (and everybody else within 50' to hear.)  We were there before it opened and waited,  as people approached the door they had a greeter standing outside and welcoming people as well as reminding them to stay 6' from other shoppers,  he was also slowing up people coming in so that there wasnt a log jam at the sanitation station,   there was a woman in front of us so we stopped,   but i just pushed by from another young woman from behind who then reached across my wife and grabbed a hand sanitizer ( i am still hearing the greeter 10 feet behind me say "please maintain 6' between you and other shoppers",   so I blurt out a "WTF"  and she completely ignores me,  I then loudly commented on the absolute igorance and rudeness of the fucking dumb bitch that just plowed through my wife and I.   I then wathced as her and the woman ahead of us speed walked to the TP aisle,  ..... Fucking morons.

Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Monday that California will help New York and other states meet the COVID-19 crisis by loaning 500 state-owned ventilators to the Strategic National Stockpile.

Support Times of San Diego's growth
with a small monthly contribution

“California is stepping up to help our fellow Americans in New York and across the country who are being impacted the hardest right now by the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Newsom. “We still have a long road ahead of us in the Golden State — and we’re aggressively preparing for a surge — but we can’t turn our back on Americans whose lives depend on having a ventilator now.”

“I know that if the tables were turned and we were experiencing a hospital surge, other states would come to our aid and provide ventilators just as we are today,” he added.

Interesting read on the genetic detective work going on world-wide regarding coronavirus break out.

About the only thing experts agree on now is that it's probably bat related.

The wet markets in Wuhan may have been an amplifier for the spread vs where it all began...
===========================================
How did coronavirus break out? Theories abound as researchers race to solve genetic detective story

my SIL tried to have birthday party for my niece last weekend... Needless to say my opinions on that subject were well registered although IMO poorly received.  Who the phuck is so ignorant that they would organize a social  gathering in the middle  of  virus outbreak?  some people just shouldnt have been allowed to breed.

One of (probably several of) the local churches is planning an Easter egg hunt Sunday for the kids

The numbers may differ from various studies, but the Doctor Lady here does a nice job of explaining it to those that are still a little confused by what the CDC and others are trying to achieve in the rural areas especially but the theory stands for the urban areas as well.
