My local hospital just had the youngest victim in uk 18 years but serious health problems I think?
We have just been put in lockdown, non essential travel prohibited apparently?

Yeah don’t think we’re there yet but there were photos on twitter of a bunch of Canadian deuces on trains moving around.

I’ll be more stressed about it if he says he’s been called up. But did find it interesting they’re running drills his unit hasn’t run in a long ass time…

Really dislike this new Trudeau unlimited taxing power. Wtf.

Well so much for staying isolated. I spend my days 300 feet from the nearest person and only go from jobsite to hotel with no interaction with anyone. You all know I have said it’s blown way out of proportion, which I still think it is but started getting sick yesterday. No Rona symptoms just a sore throat and slightly swollen glands. Hope it’s just a cold as of it’s not I can’t go home to see my family because my wife is overweight and a smoker so looks like I’ll be spending the next few days watching to see if I develop symptoms of Rona. Gonna stay the hell away from everyone just in case.

Well talking a drink of something cold just reminded me I broke a tooth last week and the sore throat is on that side so hoping it’s just an infection in my tooth. Haven’t had it looked at because everything is closed so here’s to wishful thinking lol

Hope you feel better. I also work away from home. I am afraid to go up to work in case I cant come home and see my family for a bit. I’d hate to be up at work and have to self isolate

Hey Larry,
Just made it back to the bugout.
Had my biopsy yesterday and I was the only one wearing a mask.
Guv Wit-less here in MI decided to pull a fast one yesterday giving michiganders only 13 hrs to prepare for a 3 week shutdown.
This is what happens when people elect weak, consensus driven figureheads instead of true leaders.

Recovering as best a 60 yr old can do.

Best of luck to you and lady, we’ve been preparing for something like this to occur since the Great Blackout of 2003.
Tough to prepare for medical crises though.

Real numbers showing from China?

Cell phone usage down by 21 million.

I’ve been concerned about this for a while now. I ‘feel’ like a lot of countries are not reporting accurately. All of a sudden deaths in China come to a screeching halt? Russia, which boarders China, is reporting less than 500 cases and 1 death? I hope that’s the case, but my gut tells me it is not. I think it’s best we stay over prepared than under. Who knows where this thing is going.
