This sign went up at a big abandoned industrial site near my work. It looks like they are moving in a bunch of camper trailers.
It sure looks like they are setting up a concentration camp. Ominous.
Here in central Virginia we have not really seen a significant number of Covid19 cases. There was one case at a local university just before they closed down. I don't think that case spread at all.
It won't be too much longer, though. The virus is coming.
My workplace is still operating, but they are starting to screen everyone for fever on the way in the front door.
My plan is to work next week then take a week off. I'd rather be at home making chairs in my woodshop and playing with the beehives.
What are you doing with time while you are waiting out the pandemic?
Cheers,

I'm mostly taking the rough with the smooth. I was made redundant and given a months notice in early Feb before lock down. Since then the job market has kind of collapsed with everything else :) This is our first week of 'proper' shutdown and it has been great spending lots of time with the kids. I'd be out 12 - 18 hours a day prior to this so it's great to be around them all day.
I've also been making time to exercise, I love cooking so have enjoyed preparing the meals and having to be creative with limited things available. Today I'll be having a spring clean in my study and making more space for my guitar recording setup; I've not played for years. I've also been taking the opportunity to carry out some online training course.
On reflection I'm doing significantly more than I was when working :D
Sounds like you are going to be fine. We were just talking about all the things we were going to do when we are forced to stay home. Gardening and exercise were at the top of the list. My daughter plays the trumpet, so she might practice some more. I would like to learn to play the piano, but we would have to be in quarentine for months before i would start on that project.
I was thinking the US lack of response was because "they" knew something we didn't, like it's genetically targeted and we "don't have to worry about it".
Now I'm worried the lack of response is more sinister.
Like on 911 when they told everyone to go back into the buildings before they collapsed. I was always suspicious that that was an attempt to increase the body count.
That is pretty twisted. Never attribute misdeeds to sinister intent when they can be reasonably attributed to incompetence.
Yes agreed, but how much incompetence do you allow?
At some point you have to realise that "fill in the blank" is at a minimum dangerous to your health and possibly purposely hostile to your very existence.
The question we all need to start thinking about is when do we start pushing back and saying no? I'm not trying to be a troll, I'm seriously worried.
How much incompetence should we tolerate? Zero. Nobody is more aggravated by incompetence than me.
What is the action that you hope to see?
