It was good to hi to some old friends here over the weekend. Its just SAD that I came back here because of this devastating situation.
I will be leaving Chicago in a couple hours bringing food product to Alabama. It will be 850 miles of empty highway, which is SO DAMNED EERIE!
But I am ready for battle.
120 hand wipes
2 bottles of hand sanitizer
A box of gloves
A mask
Lysol
A couple other types of disinfectant spray
5 Roast turkey and mashed potato meals(Yeah I cooked Thanksgiving dinner last night)
15 bananas
6 oranges
A loaf of bread
A case of green tea
A case of water
And I said fuck those high sodium canned goods.
And my only political comment for the week? Lets hope our government can get together at 1:00pm to get that stimulus package put together, there are 2.5 million here in the USA who will be filing for unemployment today? Or this week? Im pretty sure they could use the funds to get by for the next couple weeks.
Rodney, Marybeth, Jose, and the rest of you folks in the trenches, who are in the heath care industry? PLEASE BE SAFE! PLEASE!!
Its going to be a sad, horrifying week both nationwide and worldwide.
I will see you all next weekend.
Peace and Love
Michael

"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
I hope the lack of traffic makes for easier driving for you.
All we can do is protect ourselves the best we can, be kind, tell our friends and family we love them and worry.
Worry for us, worry for strangers, worry for mankind, worry for our planet.
Our fundamental skills for providing for ourselves and our very survival are in great jeopardy.
The fear of the unknown is paralizing.
As grave as the situation is, hope has never been more vital.
So I hope.
SAFETY DEPT?!?!?!?!?!?! I'll give you a pass since you aren't one anymore.

i am hanging in there, thanks. i finally left the house on sunday to run to the grocery store. i had gone there the previous sunday and i was only able to get a few things at that time. on sunday people were walking around with masks on and safety goggles on. i felt like i stumbled into shop class 25 years too late. i was able to get what i needed and get back home pretty quickly.
yesterday i had to cover some surgeries in columbia, mo. left st louis at 4:30 am and got back home at 8:30 pm. one of the cases lasted about 9 hours. there was no distancing in that OR and all day long I felt like it was unfair to be proceeding with such a large surgery at this time. most of the territory managers i work with are working from home. some accounts in my territory have proceeded with surgeries because they use our grafts, which expire 60 days after being released. they could really reschedule these things if they wanted to, but they do not know how long restrictions will go. they can't afford to risk a $25,000 graft going bad, so we are risking our health to go there and cover the cases. i have to go back there for cases on wed and thurs this week. i think i am going to work from home today. i was supposed to go 2.5 hours east into illinois to check on an item that is malfunctioning, but elective cases are shut down there indefinitely so i may go there friday instead.
all in all trying to disance the best i can, but every time i go to a case i feel like i am taking my health into my own hands. i have never considered that before all of this started. crazy times we are in for sure. hope you and the family stay well.

We've ventured out a couple of times and it's eerie as hell. We live on a busyish street here in KC and rarely hear cars go by, so it's good to see that people here are taking it seriously. Our mayor has done a great job, I think.
Yeah, I'm almost 99% sure that it's just allergies. I'm keeping my wife informed and will be watching it to make sure that it doesn't get any worse. That's the thing about the timing of this...being allergy/flu/cold season....I wake up & have a slightly sore throat and your mind takes you to the covid waiting room...not fun.
Be safe on your travels this week & take care.

i would keep checking your temperature. fever is the big thing they are looking for. i had mine checked 3 times yesterday. once when i got there at 6 am, once after we had been there for 10 hours, then again when we ran instrument trays from the surgery center to the hospital. it takes extra time to get where we need to go because many of the entrances and exits we were able to access before have been locked down. we can only enter the main entrances now so we are going in those entrances with patients and their family, so because we are mingling in line with potentially sick people that do not work there, we are potentially being exposed to more than just the OR environment. these are major centers, so our selfish thinking is that they could have a separate entrance for staff and reps, but i get that that would put a strain on center staff and security having to man 2 different entrance points. i have never seen so many security personnel at a hospital in my career.
i am glad that you were able to get out a bit and that people seem to be taking it seriously there. i do think our governor needs to do more though. the hospital staff i have spoken with agree as well.
i do not think people are really distancing that much here in STL. our parks and trails are super crowded. people get on social media and yell at us in their posts to "stay the fuck at home" and an hour later they are at a crowded park with their kids. that's rich, haha. plus the highways are just as crowded as ever, so people are doing a lot of driving.
thanks man, you take care and be safe as well.
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
this is our new reality, at least for awhile. i am encouraged to see people washing their hands and trying to distance as much as they can. maybe that will be something good to come from this.
stay safe, my friend. we will all get through this together.
