Quote HistoryQuoted: Just wondering... I see posts here, and elsewhere, about people seeing lots of cars on the roads, and bitching about it. How are you seeing them? Are they all driving past your windows, or are you out on the roads too? Think about it.  I'm about 400 yards from highway 70. I can hear traffic if I'm outside or the windows are open. Can't see it during daylight, but I can see the headlights after it gets dark. I went to post office in town today to drop my absentee ballot requests in the driveup mailbox behing the post office, never got out of my Jeep, contacted nobody. Cars everywhere... gas stations, grocery store, hardware store, auto parts stores, dollar stores. I was looking for FIB plates... only saw 1 at the NAPA car repair shop. Saw a few MI plates, but the U.P. is close (22 miles) so they're sorta locals too. The yoopers all shop here cuz there's nothing up there closer. |

Mostly semi truck traffic on 11 down here. I live in a 35 mph zone, and at night the trucks are easily over 50. Just three sheriff's on at night for the whole county, so they are not doing any speed enforcement.

Is there any way of finding out in what community the people infected with coven 19 reside in your county ?

Quote HistoryQuoted: Is there any way of finding out in what community the people infected with coven 19 reside in your county ? The authorities cannot release the names or personal info because of HIPPA laws. There is nothing in that law I'm aware of that would prevent them from releasing the general location, such as what city or town. They've already done it in the Milwaukee area...I've seen them report deaths & cases from "West Allis", "north side of Milwaukee", and others. Last time I checked, West Allis was a city not a county. I guess we'll have to rely on "scuttlebut" ... it eventually will be public knowledge through neighbors blabbing. There's now 3 cases here in Vilas, but Vilas is a big county geographically. They could be on the next road over or 75 miles away for all I know. Until I know, I won't do any service calls in the entire county... when I know, I'll go elsewhere, but not there.

Did you guys see the news that the death toll in NY today is north of 400? If this continues and people don't isolate, this will get bad quickly.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Did you guys see the news that the death toll in NY today is north of 400? If this continues and people don't isolate, this will get bad Most of NYC's population are reliant on public transportation. If people in NYC need provisions they are going to have to either walk or take public transit. This means they really can not stock up meaning more frequent outings increasing their exposure. |

It doesn't. Blacks are getting it because they are ignoring the social distancing request, and higher contributing illnesses which leads to a higher death rate.
It has nothing to do with racism, and everything to do with environmental factors. Edit: Personal responsibility is tough to deny when a virus is involved. |

You mean like block parties in a certain state that just happened to erupt in gunfire. I’m not sure I buy the multigenerational living arrangement contribution here, entirely. I know for a fact many Hmong families live multigenerationally yet Asians have an extremely low infection rate, as I understand the data. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Tony can pound sand. I feel sorry for the business owners that are going to be forced (lawfully?) to stay closed. Myself, I'll go as I please. He can send the brown shirts after me. Yup. I've been contemplating full retirement for awhile now. I'll be 70 the week of Mother's Day...IOW, weeks before this bullshit ends. Age 70, that's when I planned on making a decision on how much longer I intend to work. Now I just don't see the point of taking 3 months off - with zero pay - and then returning to work for who knows how much longer. It's a good test for me. If I can survive those 3 months (Mar-Apr-May) without any income supplementing my retirement income, then I'm done for good. I'll spend the summer selling all my tools & parts inventory online. I'll hang on to safe opening stuff just for kicks, but all the basic lock crap is disposable now. |

I haven't any contact with outsiders for over 21 days and even back at my last contact had on mask and safety glasses and kept the contact to a minimum...getting kind tired of this BS though...and I'll be 71 by the end of summer Lord Willing. They need to get those titer test kits out to us and make Hydroxycholorquine and Z-pac available at first sign of infection. With that in place there is no reason not to open our state back up before we are ruined. Of course they government spent thrifts like Evers will happily bankrupt the state and demand taxes be paid or they will begin foreclosing on those they feel like...I would imagine Evers donors (the ones he opened the golf courses back up for) are salivating at the idea of buying up property for pennies on the dollar...
