    Some Germanicon customers of mine just told me that what happened during Easter week-end is foolish. Lots of people going to relatives or friends, having a pic-nic in groups etc.
    That would mean wasting the advantage they had until now for...nothing.
    Havenot, lots of people still don’t accept reality, but sooner or later they’ll come to their senses. And maybe you’ll get the “sorry dad” you deserve. Maybe in an indirect way...
    C’mon! You have work to do.

    Yeh....work to do...and lots of it. Cannot really explain daughter's covid attitude...26 years old...recently single and mother of two. No social distancing...no mask...has been on at least two dates with two separate guys in the last two weeks. But then there are quite a few folks in OK who think they are immune to rules, regulations. and common sense. My guess is these folks think they are immune to the covid and everybody they know is too...

    I had a customer last week who drove up to my house...I went out to talk to him and he could NOT social distance! He got close and tried to shake my hand...was offended when I backed off....got in his truck and promptly used a small bottle of hand sanitizer to clean his hands!! I mean really?? What an idiot!

    Many and most folks are at least putting modest effort or better to stay covid clean. I talked to a lady at Wal Mart yesterday from far western OK...she was wearing her mask as was I...she reported that her local Wal Mart was about stripped bare! Probably better than 50% of the folks in the store had masks on although but few or none of the employees were wearing masks??

    The virus has officially affected my collecting. I passed on two ebay auctions due to financial uncertainty. There are promises of help from the government, loans/grants etc but the need is so great they are quickly running out of funds. Been off work for nearly a month now with no income at all earned. We are not in any financial danger, and I've been assured I'm good for the one government loan which will replace the lost income.

    This can't go on much longer. Trump wants to reopen, many governors don't, some never closed down. Cuomo says he's ready to open when certain things are met. Notably a vaccine. Dude, that's 18 months away. New York city will be Mad Max world by then and a vaccine will be the least of your worries.

    In PA the state legislature is preparing to over rule the Governor on some things but he's promising a veto which they can't overcome. They also finally made it mandatory to wear masks in stores, both employees and customers. Hard to believe they weren't cooperating with this earlier but it's mandatory now. Considering 60% were not wearing them before, a lot of people will be scrambling now.

    Seems to me the longer thisa sh*t goes on the more crud seems to come up in the morass, who to believe FIIK all the fingers waving and the chooks squawking is not going to fix the virus only adherance to the medical advice.
    These people that live with the fairies saying it won't affect them are usually the ones that get it die and then leave a whole lot of grief behind.

    Our W.A Govt is keeping the screws on for another month as is a PM which is good the curve is going down but give in now may lead to what happened in Tassie, the wick dipper got 6 months jail be out in 4 weeks makes a mockery of the hazard he could have created me I'd lock him up for the 12 months.
    I can only say to you all in the hardest hit country's hang in there things are slowing up but now the news geeks here have said on T.V that China said the virus got out of a lab! (Yeah probably on a bat wing!) Far out we know that you numpties its from the Class 4 pathogen lab not 20 miles from Wuhan gosh they must think we are all dyslexic and dumb to boot.

    Keep safe people.

    Today the Chief of Police in Pordenone clarified the proportion of freedom we have been given back Tuesday: 500 metres from home, with mask and keeping distance.
    That is ok for me, I can live with that.
    Yesterday I walked during all of my telephone and Skype calls on the roof of my winter garden: 45 paces making the whole perimeter. Got 9.6 km done. 13.000 paces. My wife could not believe it
    Today I'll move after sunset, when no-one is around and go a short track around home. roughly 950 metres in total, so perfectly adhering to the provisions.
    Went twice to the office today (I'm here currently) exploiting this for a ride on my California.
    Weird with the face mask...
    I get all elder people scared

    I actually feel like I'm wearing underpants... On my face!
    I don't like the jokes it evokes...
