a local rehab hospital just had 11 of their staff test positive. Aint too good when the professionals cant keep from getting it....

They put emergency operations in place yesterday. we start working 20 hour weeks till further notice. I'm working Monday, Tuesday and 1/2 days Friday. The plant manager is working the other times. And we're not supposed to visit with one another. They don't want us both sick. I figure two days to get everyone lined out for the week and on Friday I can make sure the manager didn't screw anything up before the weekend.  :lol_hitting:

Yeah, that what concerns me - doctors and nurses keep getting it. Maybe it's because they're surrounded by it all day, but dang, you'd think they'd be wearing the right stuff and know what not to do.

And police and fireman are coming down with the thing, too. Not good if crimes or fires surge, especially Southern Arizona going into spring and the wildfire season. Dumb people (or arsonists) can cause alot of harm with first responders down.

Anyone heard from jafe recently? I keep emailing but no answers

Thanks for asking. I'm here. I have had trouble with email lately and have not received any email in several weeks.

We recently moved and have been working on the house a lot. We needed a place and didn't have time to paint or do the floors and stuff before we moved in so the work load here is pretty tall.

Then a friend had some major surgery with a lot of complications so I went and spent a lot of time there to give him a hand. In truth the main reason I left was I was afraid if I waited too long I wouldn't be able to get back.

Glad you made it back home safely Steve! All the best --

Doing good in Northern VA DC region. Warm weather and hotter temps might be a good thing to help eliminate this virus. i see more people out and about walking and social distancing. That said, we are still on lockdown until June 1 -- unless our Governor deems otherwise.
