Additionally, utility, cable, cell phone, and rent/mortgages across the state no longer have late fees, which is a relief. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With banks getting zero interest, why not just offer no mortgage payments for a month or two with no penalty, and simply add a month or two to the end of the mortgage. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonjon Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Amazingly still no confirmed cases here in WV. Governor is allowing bars/pubs/restaurants to carry on as normal, for now. We're closing our pub for a couple of days to figure things out. When we reopen it might just be for carry out can and growler sales. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had recently been to your Main Street brewery and we had a nice conversation about how good your beers are, but he wasn’t aware of any expansion plans. I know you’ve opened the new brewery site, but I also thought you mentioned possible expansion. Then I read this great article: https://brilliantstream.com/2019/04/stumptown-ales-settles-down/ The article is about a year old, so just wondering if expansion to another site is on the table. eta: did a search on Airbnb and nice pad over the brewery!

I'm hoping there's no shelter in place order so I can continue to work . My store was crazy today. Not sure when its going to slow down. WTF is everyone doing with all the TP that is being bought.

I took a deep breath, entered, got what I wanted, walked out and exhaled. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m really sorry. A lot of people are impacted in ways many of us haven’t thought of. Those like yourself needing rehab, others who can’t make meetings for their addictions, regular doctor/dentist appointments, and so on. ive heard/seen from many at how most places are going as virtual as they can. Both locally and around the country. Emails and FaceTime. Virtual classrooms (my daughter’s dance studio has done this, each class has videos to practice skills/routines). I’ve seen YouTube channels with everything from ask a scientist to celebrities reading bedtime stories for kids. The outpouring of resources for the people from the people is incredible. Food donations for students and shelters, offering to help run deliveries for local small ma/pa places. Here’s hoping this passes quicker than the most dire situations have it, and we can come out (mostly) unscathed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDIII Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 "On February 12, 2010, the CDC released updated estimate figures for swine flu, reporting that, in total, 57 million Americans had been sickened, 257,000 had been hospitalized and 11,690 people had died (including 1,180 children) due to swine flu from April through to mid-January." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is tough to decipher what is real and what isnt real. This is the first crowd sourced pandemic we ever had. It kinda has a mind of its own. This is a clear example of Tyranny of the Majority (as predicted by Tocqueville). We have had several media generated pandemics.. but in those cases the experts were allowed to make the decisions and use their knowledge and experience to quell panic. This time, decisions are being made by the masses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considerably worse, since this is more contagious than flu. We'd be talking million(s) of hospitalizations and possibly hundreds of thousands of deaths by the end of 2020 without the measures that are being put into place now, as the hospital system would become overwhelmed and people who normally wouldn't die would die simply due to lack of resources. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where were they coming from? My understanding is that the travel restrictions apply to foreigners from Europe, China, and South Korea. American citizens and green card holders are allowed to return from those countries but must undergo screening and possible quarantine. I hope this is actually taking place. I don’t believe there are restrictions from other countries but that may soon change. I suspect that there will be a complete ban on all foreign and domestic travel sooner rather than later. I expect all commercial flights to be grounded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, we are staying put without any major expansion plans any time soon. We do have a pub opening just outside of Charleston (was supposed to open April 1, now not sure when). But we have no idea how much beer that place will go through, and we have agreed to supply that place so that there are at least 8 beers of ours on tap at all times. We may be biting off more than we can chew with just keeping up with our Davis and Charleston pub demands. We could probably squeeze another fermenter or two in our current facility and brew a few more times a month, if we had to. Our barrel aging program is going well (although more space being taken up). We're happy being small and in demand. Hope it stays that way. Yes, the pad above Stumptown is pretty cool. Great spot to stay if you have a group. Right in town close to restaurants, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
