Brian, I have little faith in what we are being told and I too am skeptical. But no doubt some bad shit is going on.

@WNYTONY I would love to hear your perspective on this.
All well here but I'm going to work every day as I work at the Health Department and it's our show. Thankfully we are only at 8 positives in our county but we still haven't tested 300 people out of our available 400 tests.
We received new policy last week that even if we have positives in our staff they are to contact the EOC nurse and continue to report until they show symptoms as they need the people. So I got that going for me. Friday's meeting was to discuss our mass mortality plan which was due to the state so they were contacting coroners and funeral homes to gauge capacity and we don't have any deaths yet. NYC is crazy and they are applying it to the rest of the state, but they are beyond funeral homes and talking about refrigerated semis and hockey arenas.
From the figures I get it's spreading fast and we're not to the surge yet. And then they say it should go into decline but it will still be around so it's going to affect everyday life for a while I think. Social distancing and hand washing will be around for a bit but many of us practice that anyways.
Wife is working from home and so far all the kids are good. And I think I have just enough cigars to weather the storm so I'm just trying my best not to get it, just like everyone else.
Stay safe all you Bums and thanks @Old Smokey for starting this thread.
