Just dropping by for a moment- hope to have better internet soon. All good here for me but my State has hit the bug upward cirve and my metro area is one of the fastest growing numbers. Plus they're talking hige numbers and longer times too so I may be stuck here awhile. One bit of good news: a local Doctor/Hospital group has invented a splitter which allows one ventilator to serve up to 4 people, and the FDA has given it emergency approval. The shared plans are online for any hospital to have 3D printed
But it also seems that nationally we're now on a road of insanity where we might lead the world in deaths both by numbers per nation and by percentages, all in hope to try to save the "economy". I didn't know that you could have one of those without people to make it work (and to do work). I'm hoping the Governors of all the States decide to do the right thing regardless of what Washington wants them to do. My States Governor seems to not want to actally order us to remain at home but he did point out we've got a Law which prohibits unnecessary gatherings of more than 3 people and he's asked that it be enforced where needed. Seems there's a lot of people here not following his requests to remain isolated, lots of businesses are still open but no dining in at bars or restaurants, parks and campgrounds are closing, and Cities and Counties are beginning to act for tighter controls on their own with curfews and mandatory closings.
I haven't been out to see any of that. I'm just staying in a small outbuilding alone and apart from almost all social human contact. Good weather for 'camping out' like this and I don't need anything. It would be nice to be at home and at work, but too much risk there. I'm working on getting better internet and will be back soon. I hope we haven't had anyone here on DCT affected but that looks like an impossibility at this point as too many people in too many places are seeing huge outbreaks
All we cabn do is our best and to hang on tight for the rest; this is probably going to be a rough ride
TTFN,I'll drop back by here when I can stay awhile.
