jmohme Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 All of the larger stores here have installed plexiglass at all checkouts. Maybe not Walmart since you can't find a manned checkout there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife's occupation is an analyst and she has been watching all the published numbers and doing computer models. I am pretty sure she thinks the end of the world is upon us. I, on the other hand am the forager that goes out for supplies and get to see the real world. The only thing I have noticed for certain is that zombies all wear surgical masks. I have no doubt that this virus is real and would likely be much worse if steps were not being taken, but I am also positive that it is not nearly as bad as it is being presented to us by the media. As far as the shutdowns go, who knows for sure, but it really seems that the cure in this case may be worse than the ill. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just haven't had occasion to use them. If I do I plan to have the cash put into an envelope I have, take it back home, and iron it before I carry it. Every week I take my trash to the dump. They charge me a dollar, but I pay with a stack of ones that I've kept in an envelope in the glovebox since December. You made me check my wallet and I found $280. I have had it for about 10 days while my credit card is carrying the load. I hate credit cards, but these days it's the only way businesses will sell to me so they don't have to touch my filthy money. At this rate I'll be able to buy a couple of guns with cash! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife said she might feel more comfortable with a mask and gloves to go shopping this evening. If it appears there are more people than she's comfortable with. So I went into my painting supplies and gave her a box of 100 masks and a box of gloves. I don't think she appreciates that by my giving them to her, my midnight escapades are being brought to a screeching halt! I'm sorry that your wife has those concerns (figuratively, not literally). It does wear on a person to only hear bad news. I hope she feels better along the way. Edited April 5, 2020 by janice6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She does watch the trends closely and is worried about the world in general, but I am also pretty sure she feels safe enough in the little fortress we have built for ourselves. My biggest concern as of today is that there will come point when I can no longer squeeze through the doorway. The barn where she goes to ride her horse shut down last week. That has been her only escape through all of this so in her boredom she has been baking all weekend. Two kinds of bread yesterday. Apricot pastries this morning, and apple bread this afternoon. I think I have gained 20 lbs just being in the same house as her! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's good to know who the real owner is. The check's in the mail...…….. But, the postman says that because to the social distancing, he can't give it to you for another few months. Isn't this sequestering a bitch! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The routing number and account number would work just fine, please send that instead. No sense making this more complicated than it needs to be. I'll deposit an extra $500.00 in your account because you are so honest. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul53 Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 (edited) I'll take a stab at your question. The people cashiers deal with are healthy enough to be out shopping. Meanwhile nurses and doctors, dealing with the sickest, are getting sick themselves. The lucky ones will survive, too many healthcare providers have already died. The U.S. was late to taking this virus serious. We're playing catch up to a virus we know little about. Plus, the virus is wildly variable for unknown reasons. One person has mild aches and pains for a few weeks while another becomes ill suddenly and despite aggressive health care, dies 6 hours later. In time we will understand this enemy well. Until them we just have questions. Edited April 6, 2020 by Paul53 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PPQer Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 China follows the Art of War to the letter. In chapter 4 it clearly states: "In a stealthy WMD attack, cashiers should be infected as carriers to spread the infection. Only then will time be right for battle" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
