Then my kid got mad at me because SHE wanted to say hi to everyone. So this week, I took the time to freshen up a little (fixed my hair lol) so my kid could say hi during our meeting. everyone loved her. so, it was worth it i guess. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So my conference calls have increased three fold since this all started and I have theory why this is happening.. first off.. I write software for the Fed Govt. That naturally means that for every one of me (the one that does the work).. there are 12 feds that that "talk about the work". When you make those 12 people go in to an office everyday it gives them the feeling that they are actually doing something.. like they are contributing.. they get to do there status meetings and check their emails.. maybe drum up some drama with their coworkers.. But then you make them go home.. I think they quickly realize the truth... and the truth is that they dont actually do anything. So in order to make them feel more relevant.. they schedule more meetings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PDIII Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 If I was the president I would offer every single government employee early retirement buy out (three times their normal salary) and go in to the property management business.. I would offer one caveat.. if the employee feels that they are essentially.. they can stay on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poolz1 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 We set a cooler on the back patio...groceries that require refrigeration go into the cooler for 72 hour before bringing inside. All other groceries are left in the car for 72 hours until we bring them inside. If we need something before the 72 hours, we sanitize. Maybe its overkill? The stress of our first grocery run is what pushed us to do this. Handling everything, items sitting on the kitchen floor and on the counter, then touching the fridge handles and pantry cabinet we realized we had to sanitize all kinds of items and surfaces when we were done...Waiting 72 hour just offers a little peace of mind.

ErinInTheSky Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Today is looking bad. Morning update states are mostly in. 22k cases - 700 deaths already. We're heading for a 30k+ cases, 1.2-1.3k death day. Still growing exponentially. Louisiana looks terrible. Maryland has actually be pretty good compared to most states.

H2O Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 And as far as groceries. I've taken out two loans both times I've gone. $300 each time. And I am getting nothing but crap food. Some of it has been based off availability. Like last week all that was left in meat was meatloaf mix and chicken feet. This week i got ground beef and breasts. But TP still gone as was every pasta known to mankind. I had my own hand sanitizer I took the first time and used it like whoa. the second time I wore gloves the entire time and put the groceries away myself. Gloves were then thrown into the wash. They were cotton gloves. It was only me and the cashier that handled the food. Gotta trust that the cashier was healthy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point.. I was thinking that I need to take more form precautions. When every I go to the grocery store the first thing I do is go the the grapes section and grab a bag open them and put them on the baby seat thing so I can snack on them on my way around the store. Last night I when I was doing it.. people were giving weird looks.. an then I realized that I was touching the grocery cart bar.. then the grapes.. then putting the grapes in my mouth..

We're heading for a 30k+ cases, 1.2-1.3k death day. Still growing exponentially. Louisiana looks terrible. Maryland has actually be pretty good compared to most states. MD DOH only just started sharing negative tests, 18K I think was the number this morning and only just started opening more test sites. Out of the hard numbers, we have roughly 2,300 positive cases out of roughly 21,000 tested. This includes those who had to be tested more than once, if its happened. what this doesn't include is all those out there who are sick but cannot get tested, which we know is happening. i personally do not know of anyone (in the state) who has wanted a test but couldn't get one, but I am sure many here do know someone like that. the numbers are also delayed. the numbers we see today (and I am talking confirmed cases, not deaths) are not real time numbers. tests results are taking anywhere from 3 to 10 days, if not longer, to get back. so numbers today may include those who came ill last week. we may never have a true sense of everyone who was infected for years after this is over. again, another discussion to be had later. The one thing the state has going for it is Hogan who, IMO, acted quickly to shut things down. Is everyone listening to him? Nope, and they will pay the price for it. But most of us here are doing it, and it means our immediate homes will stay sickness free. we are all doing what we should be doing to stop the spread and keep ourselves safe. I personally think overall, when all is said and done, Maryland will come out of this on the better side of things compared to other states of similar populations. I just don't want to get too optimistic based on what we are seeing today. we are still heading up the curve... its going to be another couple weeks before we see improvements. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
