Covid-19

Ontario just ordered all non essential business closed by midnight too.

This is so fucked. Last week my partner’s company was telling employees and posting on their site that everything would be paid during the shutdown and Saturday all employees were laid off... didn’t even make two weeks.

I’m really wishing we didn’t have so much crap on credit. Bankruptcy is going to be the only option if this goes on too long

I'm not saying religion is responsible for all the world's ails but…

First I've seen of self quarentine for domestic travel....

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) — Gov. Gina Raimondo announced Monday that Rhode Island has discovered 23 new cases of COVID-19, pushing the state’s total over 100, as she ordered new restrictions on travelers in an effort to stem the spread.

Raimondo said she will sign an executive order requiring that all air travelers who return to Rhode Island from elsewhere in the United States self-quarantine for 14 days when they get back, starting at 7 a.m. Tuesday. Government personnel will be at T.F. Green Airport to greet new arrivals and gather their contact information.

“Come home. We want you to come home,” Raimondo told residents who are currently out of state. “However, when you arrive back at our airport you’re being directed to self-quarantine for a period of 14 days.” (Health and public safety personnel are exempt.)

Earlier Monday, Gov. Charlie Baker announced all “non-essential” businesses in Massachusetts must close for two weeks starting Tuesday at noon. He also issued a “stay-at-home” advisory, though stopped short of making it an order.

Looks like some people spent their beer money on a bunch of toilet paper and now want to return it. Costco says No Way!

And it's official.

2 semi crashes in 2 days on local interstate as a result of unlimited hours driving. Per federal suspension of DOT regs. We need truckers. Not more truck related fatalities.

In case?

So I'm in negotiations to trade some shatter for a few n95 masks.

I think we reached a deal in principle. Strange times.

Today I hit the cancel button on the $800 payment to Ford Credit for April 1st. I've diligently sent them $250 - 300 over the payment since I bought the car last May to pay it off early.

Now I might need the money to bail out family members for a while. I technically don't have to pay them until August but I was hoping to pay it off in 3 years instead of 5.

But if I'm going to catch a virus and die, I'll just let the life insurance take care of it .

Had enough winter. 2 inches + last nite. Melted today. Dog tracked in two sasquatch paws full of top soil from the raised bed. I'm ready for spring. Fresh air, sunshine and physical activity.
