So, business as usual lolHah, sheer chaos really. You were supposed to sign in and form lines by your appointment times. They allowed 11 people in (11 windows open) one at a time as customers left.
Sounds simple right? People walking up with no appointments, getting in wrong lines. I thought 2 guys were going to get into a fist fight. I'd say 50% had masks on, little kids being dragged into the long lines running around.
Priest blessing parishioners with water pistol
A Catholic priest in the US is using a water pistol in a bid to maintain social distancing during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Photos posted on social media by St Ambrose Church in Detroit show Fr Tim Pelc shooting holy water into a car window as it stopped by the steps of the church.
He wore a mask, face shield and rubber gloves as further precautions against spreading coronavirus.

Fr Pelc told BuzzFeed News he was a little concerned about how the Vatican might react when the photos of him squirting holy water began circulating widely on the internet, but added: "I haven't heard anything yet."

Phoenix burb. Home prices about $500k and up. Prob about 1/2 or more homes in my very small hood were bought out of bruptcy or on short sale during the RE crash in 2008. So most sellers have lots of equity. Easier to sell if you don’t need to get x amount of $ imo

"And by all means, if you do not want to come to the gym, don’t, but the majority of us need our sanity back.”
The gym owner urged members not to wear face masks at the facility, going against the governor’s executive order requiring people to wear face coverings in public places when social distancing is not possible.
Yeah, me too - and not just one doctor. But OP is right - there are conditions where people are on antibiotics long term as a preventative measure. These are not already-healthy people, though, as she also states.
I should have originally said that Pres. Trump has been deemed healthy, therefore I don't get the Z-Pac as a preventative, because it merely causes the bacteria to become resistant and when Z-Pac is needed (as lung function shuts down due to CoVid), it won't be as effective.
At least don't take the same antibiotic that's being recommended as the treatment for an eventual case of CoVid-induced bacterial pneumonia. That's how I read the literature.
Also, the studies on HCQ are not impressive, which is why it surprises me that physicians are covertly taking it. I'm going to start asking all the people I know who are physicians or married to them, if they are self-prescribing in this way - or prescribing only to each other. I have talked frequently with 6 different physicians and several other medical researchers about what they recommend to do, as a preventative and none of them has said HCQ. These people are at two different institutions (Stanford and UCLA) and when doctors and researchers at those places agree (without knowing each other personally), I triangulate that with the literature.
There's a shortage of HCQ for people who really need it. If, OTOH, there's some reason we should all be stockpiling HCQ, I'd like to know it. I am floored that doctors would not at least publish something to support this, if they're doing it.
Anyway, enough on that topic. It's exhausting thinking about this aspect of it.
Maybe not - their Clients include small business owners and restaurants who have been closed and cannot pay their bills - we have 5 law firms in our complex and all have said clients are slow paying - even the big firms report revenues down - just an FYI from my little world

CDC: Virus 'does not spread easily' on contaminated surfaces
Update: Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) - Transmission

The CDC has updated guidelines on coronavirus' spread, saying that it's "not likely" to spread through surfaces.
Yes. It definitely depends on the practice area. A lot of the biggest firms have tons of different departments, including large transactional, RE, etc. groups. The litigation and insurance depts, and many some others, will keep them afloat through the hard times. My office is strictly litigation and insurance, so we are crazy busy and will undoubtedly continue to be so as the lawsuits emerge. Bankruptcy attorneys also will do very well I suspect. jmoThis is true. My son is an atty at one of the top 50 largest firms in the US. All associates have taken a 20% pay cut and my son’s largest client, a major auto manufacturer, has culled their business by at least 50%. That said, it will be easy for his firm to bounce back.
Wish I had known this before I went grocery shopping today. Probably would've gotten my groceries put away in a fourth the time it took.![]()

A 15-year-old girl in Maryland has died after contracting COVID-19, marking what officials called the first death in Baltimore County from the pediatric inflammatory syndrome linked to coronavirus.
The girl “had symptoms of an inflammatory syndrome associated with COVID-19 infection that has been documented in children in New York and other locations,” officials said in a statement Tuesday.
