Trump salutes staff at Queens, NY, hospital near where he grew up: ‘You people are just incredible’
Last Update 18 mins ago

““I watched the doctors and nurses walking into the hospital this morning and it is like military people going into battle, going into war. The bravery is incredible,” Trump told reporters. “If I were wearing a hat, I'd rip that hat off so fast and I would say, 'You people are just incredible.’”

[...]

““I’ve been watching that for the last week on television,” he said, according to WPIX-TV of New York. ”Body bags all over, in hallways. I’ve been watching them bring in trailer trucks — freezer trucks, they’re freezer trucks, because they can’t handle the bodies, there are so many of them.”

I’ve checked several times, I guess it depends on several factors. I do expect some outrageous crime to occur. The longer this lasts, the hotter tempers seem to get, imo.

Wait until the weather gets warmer...

Funeral directors in Colorado adapt to COVID-19

That's probably more like it. I wonder if there has been an increase in DV calls during this time. Or at least by the time this is over there may be.

There has been a rise in DV calls here in the U.K. Nine people have died this week so far. Horrendous.

If I understand it correctly, high thread count cotton like "tea towels" is best. Is cheesecloth like that?

Next time I go out, I might wear a pillow case over my head with slits for eyes (sunglasses under pillowcase) and a pin prick hole for breathing purposes.

this would also work for the nose, I guess

Yea, I posted this, Spell actually had physical contact with a few, iirc. WTH? He should be in jail. Moo

Imo cheesecloth is not like that.
Cheesecloth is not a tight weave at all.

So much for getting glammed up (for us singles) before hitting the stores.

In a past thread someone posted the best materials for making a face mask. Could’ve sworn I took a screenshot but cannot find it now. I remember that dust proof pillow covers were high on the list. I am thinking the kind of thing you get to cover your pillow and then you put a pillowcase on top of that.

Friend lives in metro Chicago. Mother-in-law in nursing home (severe dementia) so phoning isn't an option. Visiting through a window won't work either. The concern is if she passes because this elderly lady had certain things she wished done at her funeral. Not going to happen. Only two people can attend a funeral, and it's probably going to be at a graveside.

Adding to this, people will have to wait to get copies of death certificates to obtain death and insurance benefits and access bank accounts because offices are closed.

I think some of those ins benefits and legal paperwork might be happening online still. JMO
