Well, about the time the Kroger employees wear them, I will too. They are generally also the worst offender on distance keeping. Got to be a stressful time for them though and I try to be patient with them.

The people with the masks for whatever reason today were the ones all up in my business. I dunno the percent of mask wearers today but it was probably in the 20% range.

Also, people there is no point in wearing gloves if you do not use them correctly.

Yesterday morning I went to a local membership store called Chef Zone, which is along the lines of Costco and Sam's Club, but focusing more on restaurants and carrying almost only food goods. I could count the number of customers not wearing a mask--of some sort--on one hand (me being one)...I'd guess there were about 80-100 customers scattered throughout the store (a warehouse about half the size of a Costco/Sam's).

What's the determinant for an official recovery? I assume it's a positive test + a certain number of days (14?). So, the only people eligible now would be those who tested positive before March 22nd. How many were tested and tested positive on that date or before? Nationwide, we had 43.8K positive tests as of March 22nd. What are the odds that even one of those 15+ guys in Marianos were among that select group. The roulette wheel on that would have a thousand red numbers and one black number, and I think that's being exponentially generous.

Yeah I was asking about this the other day. Obviously the models account for this... But I was trying to understand it. Maybe 21 days.

So, the other reason I was thinking about this was, one of the few slip ups Dr Acton has had was that she said near the first community spread case that we likely had 100k cases in Ohio.

That was on March 11th or 12th (I could go look I guess), so I mean we do have a pretty good idea about deaths, so either the 100k was way off or what we think we know about death rates, asymptomatic cases etc is way off. Since as of today we have 119 deaths and not 1-3000.

What's interesting is that here in Denver I've noticed fewer people, including myself, coughing and sneezing. Our air quality is normally lousy, but with the huge reduction in traffic and a bit of a reduction in industrial production, the air quality is improved. Our state department of public health has actually found this to be the case.

Kind of like the canals in Venice Italy being clearer then they’ve ever been. Limit people coming just for vacations ..and boom pollution would drop.

From wikipedia:
Previously, a Tyson Foods beef-packing plant employed more than 2,400 workers.[19] Hostess Brands has a bakery in Emporia. Hopkins Manufacturing Corporation, founded in Emporia in 1953, by E.L. "Bud" Hopkins, and recognized in 2003 as the city's Large Employer of the Year,[20] makes products for the automotive aftermarket. The Braum dairy store chain, based in Oklahoma City, originated in Emporia in 1952 under the name Peter Pan.[21] Simmons Pet Food operates a multi-acre plant in Emporia that manufactures wet dog food.[22]

Pet food, ehh!

LOL, Chicago is basically down to nothing and Emporia is lit up like a Christmas tree. We’d probably have as much luck finding out what that’s all about as we would when asking about what’s really going on at Groom Lake.

Something’s fishy... and it ain’t salmon dog food.

Actually I looked at the list of USA billionaires.. and with the exception of Cuban... and not even sure of him.. I suspect every one of these narcissistic bastards would make sure the media blasts their name if they so much as donated toilet paper

Cuban is very showy in his outreach, but he also does it to try and shame others into following suit. He was one of the first to guarantee he'd try (not sure about follow through) to help out his staff during the hiatus.

If they put do no harm first above maximizing profits those executives would literally be breaking their fiduciary duty to the corporation and possibly the law.

Unless they are a public benefit corp or have shareholder approval, but I digress. Might be a great time to think about public benefit corps though on that front.
