    I think its cool that some north east states are banding regionally to make fast preparations to get staff, supplies and hospitals ready for the possible (probable) onslaught over the next few weeks.  One gov I saw in a video basically stated flat out there's no point in counting on the current feds to help. 

    Also, California is working hard to get more ventilators as well.  To bad there is so little help (as in, basically none) at the federal level.

    You people think I am stupid/silly/crazy for sharing what I shared before.
    Well, listen to this guy speak. It's nice to know I am not alone with my thoughts.

    Woke up today, and my head is heavy, my throat is a bit sore and a bit runny noise. 

    But maybe it's just because I overslept and still hasn't woken up yet... and I don't think the above things are signs of corona... I guess...

    He first says that he doesn't believe in conspiracies, then goes on to talk about how cases are suspiciously low in some countries but high in others (you find what you test for), how it couldn't be possible for China's curbing efforts to be larger than Italy's (China was called 'draconian' in its efforts to lock down, Italy and the US have been called lax), and how this was orchestrated as revenge for China's trade deals (hell of a lot of trouble and risk). It's still reckless to share unsubstantiated bullshit like this at a time of crisis.

    Stay safe! I've had two anxiety attacks over the last two days where I convinced myself I'd die in my condo before making it down 20 flights of stairs. Those have been fun. So far no actual covid yet, just the premonitions.

    When are you going to stop this nonsense? Your  conspiracy thread got closed extremely quickly, you were shot down by board members yesterday for your other conspiracy thoughts/memes and now this. You are being deliberately antagonistic. Are you looking to be banned?

    just read an article abour fox news and the main personalities put forth similar  suggestions only adding in NK too. also completely downplaying the seriousness of this thing.  YET as soon as trump outwardly changed his tune , so did they.

    so please forgive me for not believing a word of it.

    No I am not and no I am not.
    Anyhow, I won't say anymore about conspiracies. Just trying to say it sounds plausible to me.

    NorCal on lockdown (some counties)
    Brian, guessing Placer was not one of the counties joining in the announcement today?


    Not sure about Placer county, LOL.  I'm laughing because when I first heard about an opportunity to move to the Placerville area, I just assumed Placerville was in Placer county.  I guess I didn't know my own state's geography as well as I should have.  Placer county is actually north of here.  It's a weird ass narrow county that stretches all the way from Roseville down in the valley all the way up to the northwest shore of Lake Tahoe.

    So anyway, Placerville is in El Dorado County.  Things are shutting down here very quickly.  We had to close down the bookstore and it will be shut down except for mail order sales (which is a small percentage of sales) for at least two weeks. I don't think there is an official shutdown in El Dorado County yet but some inside rumors say it will happen soon.  Fucking Coronavirus is wrecking a lot of businesses and lives. 

    My little on-line book business is doing better than it ever has lately but it's just something I do on the side for fun and chump change and since we aren't supposed to leave home I will probably have to put it on "vacation" very soon.  And my record sales are in the store which is closed so that is a no go as well. 

    What's that song called?  Unemployable?  :lol: 

    Hilarious, my assumption was clearly wrong - Placerville is not in Placer County.
    Well, learned something new - thanks!

    I felt that way yesterday.  Took advil and zyrtec and feel much better.  Remember allergies are in full force and all of our bodies respond differently to stressful situations.   be well.
