When it really happens: SHTF...

I replied a few pages back about having to take my Wife in for a out patient procedure this Friday. She had to be Virus tested per the Doctor before hand and tests results had to be on file there for them to proceed. And because I will be accompanying her I also had to be testing and the test results on file. Tuesday we went to a approved by the hospital testing site and set in 1 of 3 drive thru lanes for 45 minutes until we were up. The testing site is a branch of this same hospital.This morning I find out that I have to drop her off and not allowed in. I must be with in a 15 minute driving range, basically on stand by. When she checks in their office will call me to verify that I'm there. They asked if our test results were back. When they tested us we were told they forward results to the hospitals records dept. Wouldn't they know that ? Wife just called and was told that test results are confidential.... WTF ! If we get there tomorrow and they have no test results and her out patient is canceled because of it. I'll probably go postal. It's a Colonoscopy exam so that means as most already know, nothing she can eat today, the drinking of the Super Colon Blow.... etc, etc. The exam isn't until 2 tomorrow. That's a long time without being able to eat. Just more hoops to jump thru to add to the worries.
I was able to get a hair cut yesterday but no Beard trims by Governors order (so I was told) Mask off for hair cut, but can't trim your beard ? This after pulling a number tag outside and sitting in the truck until my number came up. Afterwards stopped by the gun store to pick up a replacement revolver and stood shoulder to shoulder with the crowd inside. One other guy was wearing a mask like I was. Everyone else no mask, I counted 16 in all to include the workers there. Seems 'The Rules' are different depending on where you are or what side of the county your in.
Don't know what to believe anymore. Numbers, averages, and polls can be flip flopped in any direction to achieve the results they desire.

A worrying time Charlie, not a great time for hospital appointments, hang in there mate.

The situation in the UK is stable, but unfortunately there's a hardcore of the population (about 10%) who refuse to follow the safety advice and rules and will, as a result, just keep the virus in circulation.

A hard core of 'stupidity' (substitute your own word here as required) are classic Darwinism cases, unfortunately these dim witted fools, put us all at risk.

My heart just sank when I saw the situation going sideways in Australia.

Only a vaccine will finally stop this madness.

I am starting to receive telephone calls from my doctors to do virtual appointments. This is something to check out with your health insurance before committing to the "virtual" visit. Not only do the doctor's charge you the full rate for the doctor's visit your health insurance may not cover the virtual visit to the doctor's and you can be out several hundred dollars out of pocket.

Up date on the gun shop, we stopped doing by appointment only and are permitting walk ins. I am absolutely amazed by some of the customers that I am getting. Still asking for items which we do not have and have not had for the past 3 months. Even after explaining to them, there is no product at the distributors and none to be had, they still want to place an order! They do not believe there is any crisis. Well, that may be in their minds but other folks think differently. Some "live dinosaur eggs" came in on Tuesday, Glock 17s and Glock 19s, only a few. Also two NJ compliant S&W MP15 5.56mm AR platforms, which did not stay 5 minutes!! People are starting a run on ammunition. .22LR is short supply again. With the "Defund the Police", the gang bangers in the inner cities are embolden to commit more gun violence and killing anyone in the line of fire. The politicians are blaming the guns, not the gang bangers. People are starting to smarten up to the reality in the inner cities the police and politicans only control that piece of ground they stand on. The innocent folks that live in the inner cities are starting to arm themselves and wise up to the political BS. We are living in interesting times to say the least. Everyone stay safe and healthy.
