Some news out of Sacramento:

Just the headline.

https://www.wibw.com/content/news/-Poli ... pAtRoY-sqM

Police-enforced quarantine hits Calif. residential block after man’s coronavirus death
I think I mentioned "guys with guns" up thread a couple times. There WILL be more of this. Maybe not just for a few hours next time, or the next times after that. Think of this as a trial balloon to find out how the public might react.

I'm also not too sure flying a chopper over a potentially contaminated scene is a good idea. Rotor wash tends to stir things up.

I don't think the media is doing us any favors with all the doomsday stuff, and most media rate pretty high on the BS meter anyway. I have actually scaled back on watching the "news" for my own benefit and mental well being, and I feel better because of it. My computer time is better spent on the Henry Forum and the rest of it outside! :)

Saw my first mask wearer yesterday in the Dollar Tree in town.

She was wrapped up head to toe as well.

Hey All,

I see it this way...

My favorite cover of a great Kasey Chambers song. They make death fun with two of my favorite instruments a big Gretsch guitar and a harmonica.

An add...

Or on a more serious note from a new favorite band...

One of the primary recommendations is to practice "social distancing". Here's the ideal solution. It's inexpensive, not offensive, and gives you your daily exercise. And note how it keeps people from getting too close. :)

Stopped by the local Home Depot this morning and noticed vacant shelves where the dust mask were kept. No cases
of the corona virus in our area yet but 40 miles North of here the first reported case was of a teen who came back from an overseas trip.

What gets me is that everyone thinks it's something new.
Ya ever looked at the label on a can of Lysol?

Well, there are some mods you can make. Hang it from a hat. Hook up a 40volt lion battery with bare wire wrapped around it, etc.

The Pres is addressing the nation at 9ET. About 20 minutes from now. Maybe he'll have some ideas. ;)
