Corona Virus #7

I think we are coming to a time when we will all be wearing masks in public for a few months at least (when the supply catches up with demand).. The next step in slowing the spread is to reduce the transmission by folks that don't know they have it..

You're likely correct.

Here is a useful information page provided by CDC.gov

National Center for Health Statistics Mortality Surveillance System

3000 to 4000 flu and pneumonia deaths per week nation wide. Without the CoVid -19 illness.

The numbers will bare out the increased mortality rate with the virus present.

Some of have to eat. My three week supply is running out. And the government is not helping by telling us exactly where and how many are sick.

GM Reopens Duramax Plant For Military | GM Authority

"Gale Banks, chief engineer and founder of Banks Technologies, said GM’s decision to reopen the D866T line is representative of its dedication to America’s national security.

“In an act of unparalleled patriotism, and with health and safety in mind, employees from both DMAX and Banks are proudly stepping up to support our national security in a time of crisis. This is a truly American story,” Banks said."

I do not think a military background is required to understand that something internally and or externally is going on that may not being put on the even news just yet. If interested read this for the smallest detail. This virus has us exposed in more than one way.

If the mask requirement is initiated that will be something else you cannot find like toilet paper and paper towels are today. Sister in law said last night she went to four places yesterday trying to find toilet paper and paper towels. NONE to be found. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2020/03/13/toilet-paper-shortage/

Have you noticed how many guys here haven't grasped the concept of hunkering down at home? Kind of scary given that a lot of us are 60 plus and some have health issues. Trips to walmart and the farm store and 4 grocery stores and the gas station. To me it looks like every trip from home is another chance to be exposed. I guess that is OK if you have seen enough of this earth and you are right with God.

I'm not surprised... Look at how many people chose to go to Wal Mart so they can get a $3.00 prescription.

Local sources of N-95 masks dried up a couple of weeks ago. Now i don't think stores are being allocated any. The local paper said local women were sewing cloth masks.

Specific to locality. A level down past the county would be nice.
City..town...village...service district.

But thanks.
