Corona Virus #6

[txdon]

We have around 355 'cases' here in Michigan but all are in Wayne and Oakland counties which interestingly is where the concentration of population is in Michigan, with I think 3 deaths.

A few days ago Texas and Michigan were just about tied. This will be interesting to see if the virus will progress faster in a cooler State. Our official State Health department count updates at noon every day. News Updates There are 7 in my county now.

Are you referring to Peter Dutton? If so, he had a mild 'dose' and is out of self-isolation.

#6 Thread, eh? I go to bed and you blokes just can't help yourself... oh, well. Here's some humour:

It was Dutton but soon as I hear a name I lose interest and miss the rest of it, thanks for the update, I shall go and rest now.

The U.K. is taking an interesting approach to business and worker support while everything is shut down.

One of the worst things about losing your job here in the US is coming up with money to maintain health insurance. Given the circumstances that's almost as important than eating.

I believe that will result in devaluation of their currency.

As of 5 PM tomorrow Illinois is going into a shelter at home order, all businesses that are non essential most close until at least April 7. This shuts down my lawnmower repair business and leaves me without any revenue coming in to pay the company bills, or personal income to pay my household bills.

Down here we have had 39 reported, no deaths. the govt is only letting in Kiwis returning home. Prior to that anyone coming in had to selfquarentenee for 14 days. An Asian couple came in and ignored it, the locals called the cops and they were deported. Yesterday a helicopter pilot on a scenic flight found that two of his passengers had only arrived Monday and were touring so on the way back he landed right outside the cop shop. It is expected they will be deported.
