[quote=The-Shoveler]I think I read on the ca.gov website that hardware stores and home building are exempt. (biz that can remain open).

I hope so! I have about a half-dozen spring yard projects that are in various states of completion that I’d like to wrap up! I can’t do anything without at least one Home Depot run though…

I’m not sure what to think. A bit of overreaction is better than underreaction, but have we went waaay over?

I just don’t know. Luckily I don’t have to decide because I’m not calling the shots. I’m jezz doing as I’m told, as usual.

I just wish it was a little warmer when all of this happened so I could spend more of this time in the back yard chillin by the BBQ.

Shit’s getting real now! Fresh off the press, Californians ordered to stay home:

I’m still paying all housekeeping and gardening etc even if they don’t show up. I’m sure they have tons of cancellations. Guess I’ll have to grow out my hair and turn into a hippee and have rotting teeth since I won’t step inside a dental office for some time.[/quote]

We’ve been getting a bunch of emails from our dentist. They are apparently very worried.

It’s all the tentacles this thing has that I don’t think any of us thought of up front. It touches virtually everything and everybody.

The doom has to be setting in in the White House.

I mean it could still turn around in the second half. But every day that passes things look just a little bit gloomier right now. Like hitting an iceberg at night. How much damage was really done? We may not know until the sun comes out again, if we make it that far.

Thats most of 25% of the states workers soon to be unemployed quite possibly for months. They are also the main consumers there with tourists gone. Wow, it could hit 50% unemployment. This isnt even funny anymore. What a mess[/quote]

No it’s really not funny anymore.

I think we’re all waking up to the fact that this could be more than a blip. Once you push a domino, it’s hard to stop the sequence of events that follows.

And yeah if any city is going to get decimated its going to be Las Vegas. People are going to be hyper germ sensitive now, everything to do in that city is mass gathering, touching things a thousand others have touched. Las Vegas is all about the crowds, unfortunately.

This sort of sucks.[/quote]

I’m betting that’s what will happen.

I did a deep-dive into how the 1918 Spanish Flu hit San Diego.

Days All Public Places Closed: 37 Days (all places where people congregate: businesses, churches, etc), then they reopened for 12 days which was premature because the flu numbers rose again and they had to close for another 9 days.

Then they quarantined the entire city for 4 days.

Then they backed off and required gauze masks for 14 more days.

But during this entire period, the schools were closed – somewhere around 70-80 days.

This doesn’t even include round 2 in 1919-1920.

[quote=spdrun]Again, mistranslation wins the day … outdoor physical activity, dog walking, etc are still allowed in France, just not in groups. You just have to carry a form pinky-swearing your reason to be out or be fined the equivalent of $40.[/quote]

Link to back up your statement please.

Or just decide it is not worth it like England.

[/quote]

With England choosing one route and most other countries chosing a shutdown, we should be able to tell whether the shutdown did any good.

If England doesn’t get hit any worse than other countries, then maybe we’ve all overreacted.

We’ve got a friend who flew to France on vacation last week knowing full well the world situation.

Bet she’s loving life stuck in a hotel room now…gotta be an expensive way to spend this downtime…

It’s just the tip of the iceberg that’s starting now. All indications is we really wont start coming back, until maybe May, and that would be a slow recovery and also assumes that even if we can get past this first virus way there won’t be a second wave (similiar to the Spanish Flu). [/quote]

A good article on the 1918 flu as it affected San Diego:

https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/health/story/2020-03-15/1918-pandemic-san-diego-coronavirus

0.5% of San Diegans died.

First case, Sept 26, 1918 in Balboa Park.

San Diego restricted gatherings.

Seemed to be slowing by late October 1918: 535 cases, 20 deaths

Public gathering restrictions lifted mid Nov 1918.

Another wave hit in 1919, but not a severe as 1918 (at least in San Diego).

I don’t have the date my relative died in Tulsa, but I have a document he signed in late Sept 1918 so I know it was after that.

Svelte, it’s because you already exceeded the monthly limit. Sometimes, if you run your browser in private mode, you can still see the article, though that is changing.[/quote]
