Went grocery shopping today, the bleach lysol,  and syringes were flying off the shelves after Trump recommended we shoot up with disinfectants!

So, were you drinking watching the news or grocery shopping?  Or Both?   :doofus:   :rotflmao:

Having a drink in each hand is the only way I can comply with not touching my face.

Hey guys I know a lot of you like pork to grill  :happy1:  and I noticed that some have mentioned the prob in packing houses and one mention of the piglets.   It’s true, the piglet farms I’m involved in Nodak, there will be NO isoweiners (piglets)in the near future.. So stockup your freezers and vacupac some Ribs... or You will just be smoking walleye!

I sure wouldn't mind getting a half a hog but the wife probably isn't game. She gets migraines from the nitrates in cured meats and isn't real keen on pork in general when I buy it. We've got three lambs in the freezer now, one of which we're not sure will get delivered to the Twin Cities (long story). And that's OK. It'll all get used up. We'll make more.

No surprise here. Putting 12,000 collector and modified automobiles June 19th - 21st into the State Fair grounds and more people than that wasn't in the cards this time around. MSRA will be applying our $35 entry fee for this year's event to next year's. Was hoping that was how they'd handle that. In the meantime, nothing saying we can't get 'em out and drive 'em around or there damn well better not be... :cool:

If minnesota can indeed do 20k tests per day as claimed (yesterday they did 2.4k) then workers could be tested and if negative go to work.   Temperature screening as a add on might also help.

So when did the narrative change from

"we need to slow the rate of spread to build up the capacity to treat those infected"
(flatten the curve)

to

"we need to keep people from being exposed to save lives"
(if all the stuff we do saves just one life - then everything is worth it).   
:confused:

Still no easy answers, but it seems to me we aren't heading in the right direction yet.

Yes, we already know it is dangerous to be old and in-firmed in a care facility, but what we really need to know is how safe it is for otherwise healthy people to continue working critical jobs in areas where the virus is actively spreading.

If you are not using your limited testing resources to find out betters answers to this critical question, then - in my opinion - you are not using the limited capacity as wisely as you could.
