Wellness check-in for ALL Bums

[Usafvet509]

We're doing our part to stay healthy by staying active. I'm spending most of my time off in the hotel with Heather and the kids in order to qualify us for housing assistance. We get out quite a bit with my Ruck'N'Run monthly challenges. Hope y'all are doing well!

Thanks Brian and Joe. Please keep us updated.

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.

Thanks for chiming in Tony. I appreciate your feedback on this..

As many of you know, I have a plethora of major health issues, so I guess I should be more concerned, but in all honesty I’m not. I stay at home 24/7 anyhow with Dr. visits being the exception. I am very very Leary of how this has turned into almost an event, with the news pouring fuel on the fire for no reason.

In no way am I saying don’t be cautious till this is over, I just don’t believe everything told to me without research of my own.

That said, me and my wife have a brand new 4K 65 inch and a new 4K entertainment system, so we are enjoying some HDR movies and bingeing some shows we have been wanting to watch.

Love you guys!

Edit:
Forgot to mention our 3 week shelter in place goes into effect in 30 min. But for the most part that’s what most of us here have been doing already, so not much change.

My idea of shelter in place

Wife and I are fine. Both our jobs are considered essential but at least she can work from home. Friday at work we had no more than a dozen people at work and 5 of those were on my floor. Doing my best with social distancing.

We have less than 50 cases in our county but state wide we have 6766. I fear too many are taking this lightly.
So far we have 311544 cases in the us with 8488 dead(more than 1%) and we are weeks away from our peak. White house's best estimates say at least another 92k will die.

Please be safe out there!

South West Ohio is in pretty good shape. Wife and I stocked up on items as soon as we heard the news. Had an idea this would
take off like a runaway train. Never used my Vacuum sealer like I have in the last 2 weeks. The weather has been fairly good
so I've been in the yard most of the time. It's not looked this good in a long time.

Started most off my garden seeds so ahead of the game there. Seems the alcohol sales in Ohio are up like 55%. State has
restricted store sales hours and limited number of patrons allowed at 1 time. Wonder how many babies will be born next Jan/Feb.

I really think we are being told about 10% of the truth on this. Can't even watch the news or read a paper because it's all
negative and gets depressing actually. There are a lot of good things going on out there but they don't get noticed, sad because
we could use some feel good news.

Hope everyone remains safe and we are all still here when this is behind us.

Wife and I are doing well. Also the kids are virus free. I have been working from home for the lat 3 weeks. Elsie is a teacher and has been home the last two weeks. Since my office is in Manhattan I am glad to be working from home. We are practicing social distancing and hope this helps with getting trough this virus and back to normal life.

Spending my time splitting and stacking wood for next winter. Smoking more cigars and drinking more bourbon by the fire than usual but that is ok by me. Don't watch the news as I too feel a lot of it is overplayed.

Glad to see you are all doing well so please stay that way.

98.54% is the current number for survival for the USA
Remember our wonderful media and snowflakes are the driving force between this and us. The numbers are skewed and everybody who passes now is counted as a victim of this crap regardless of heart disease, lung disease, diabetes. All the NBA players that had it haven’t reported any deaths or illness related problems. Smh

Well I started the new job at the car dealership and 2 weeks later Nova Scotia went into state of emergency and shut almost everything down. Currently laid off, waiting on EI to come through. We moved from New Brunswick to our old house here in Nova Scotia that we've been renting for the last 8 years. People are pigs and destroy/steal anything and everything so I have lots to keep me busy fixing this place up, seems like I find 2 new problems for every 1 I fix. With the state of emergency they put in, anyone coming into the province has to self quarantine for 2 weeks so I've been keeping bust cleaning/fixing things.

We're going to be in a financial mess though. Being the sole income for the family it's going to be big hit. EI will be about half of my usual income, but I'm told to expect at least a month before that starts flowing. We're working with the banks to try to get mortgages and car loans deferred to help get us through until money starts flowing but if things don't end pretty soon EI won't hold us over. Total about 12 hours on hold with the banks to date. Currently on hold again to find out why I was charged a mortgage payment on my house out west when the deferral was approved 2 weeks ago. Supposed to have a decent tax return coming so if that shows up soon it'll help tide us over, and the wife has picked up a part time virtual assistant job starting within the next week or so. Fingers crossed we can get this mess straightened out. We've always lived paycheck to paycheck and I have a tendency to try to live beyond my means so this is definitely an eye opener about how easily things can turn into a mess. Just hope we can hold things together enough until some money starts flowing in.

Everyone is healthy though and that's the main thing. 2 of the kids have mild asthma so we're watching to make sure they're good, otherwise we're not too worried about it. I think it's a pretty nasty bug and not to be taken lightly, though the media is definitely out for "the big story", with common sense and a little luck it'll end and everything can get back to some sort of normalcy. Stay safe out there!
