And if so the same people who need to worry about the flu most need to be watching Yes. Same most vulnerable population. But having the flu if you’ve had a flu shot tends to soften the blow. This ones new and our immune systems will react stronger. I can’t work without a flu shot so it’s easy. And at my age it’s a no brainer anyway.

School district we perform maintenance for requires it. I think it's a great idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When something like this wants to spread, theres not a lot we can do til if and when theres a vaccine. The other funny thing is two doctors I work for have said that several patients who absolutely refuse to get flu shots have been beating down their doors asking when a covid vaccine will be available. Some people will always just be stupid idiots and let hype run their lives We don't have a robust screening/testing program...talk to some health care professionals. That's not to say Europe is much better. States and companies are ignoring CDC recommendations. See South Korea for a country who has seemed to excel in this situation. I'm not including China in that since it's a bit easier to lock things down when you're a police state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he says not to worry, it’s a hoax, yada yada yada, that’s not leadership. That’s just dangerous. If he can’t lead, step the heck back and let the adults handle it. He can claim credit for solving this after... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This week will give us a pretty good idea where we’re going with this. But right now there is poor coordination between states and feds and not enough tests to accurately diagnose in the system. The new appropriation is fairly low and will probably have to be beefed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 A friend of mine got me hooked into Robinhood. I've only been doing this for maybe 6 weeks or so but it's been a ton of fun. My friend is killing it too...had a week where he made like $30,000 lol. I still don't fully understand trading/stocks but I guess he had these options but he acquired Tesla the day or two before it went up like $200+ in that one day...made out with $17,000. He also has more money than I do currently to play around with but my first purchase was a share of Microsoft when it was $167 and when it went up to over $180 I sold and made a little profit! My best was SPCE...bought 4 shares when it was $18 a share and a few days later it exploded to $40...then I sold at $32 just before it crashed down. Also made well with ADT. At some point soon there will be money to be made...should be able to get some excellent stocks low that should explode when this whole virus (hopefully) blows over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More of a way to slowly learn more about investing and perhaps make a small profit over time. My friend wasn't looking to get rich either...he just got like super lucky with those options of Tesla...but he had enough money so he also bought shares of ADT when it was $18...he bought 714 shares and made $10K haha. My goal though is definitely more long-term investing, but at the same time if I can do some stuff with day trading and just go from there.

BrianW Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Saw a sign this morning for $1.78 heating oil in the New Haven area. It will probably go even lower this week. Great time to fill for those that use oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its way cheaper here as the truck fills from the port a few miles away. They dont have to move it far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 ughhh does anyone know how to format in Excel to return average time? I'm pretty sure I have it setup properly but (I'm using 24-hr time) when I input times such as (0:11, 0:16, 0:07) it is throwing off what the average should be. A fix seems to be just convert into 12-HR time but I know there is a way to do it but can't figure it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
