Coronavirus COVID-19 - Global Health Pandemic #53

.

I just had a picnic on my front porch with me, myself and I. I thought I would really miss eating out since that is basically how I got fed but I don't.

There is a bird nest on my porch and underneath the nest is a disaster. i need to motivate myself to clean up the mess.

Hey @Kensie I follow your posts since you are an introvert and loner like me. Love porch picnics. Peaceful and quiet. Sorry you gotta clean up after the birdies. M0ther nature and all....

Yes. The lockdown in OC in SoCal has been very difficult. They opened the beaches one weekend only for Gov. Newsom to say it wasn't ok to do again. I know people that went to our beaches. The six ft distancing was being done quite well. There were loud speakers reminders every hour and safety patrol driving around constantly enforcing it. I don't know what memo he got, but it's not what I was told from people that were literally there.
So, then after he shut our beaches down again the protesters come out with no social distancing or masks! What the heck were they thinking? Protest while showing you have social awareness and responsibility!
From what I understand some of our beach stores are opening anyway and nothing is being done about it.

Watching from afar, I'm quite impressed with your Governor's attempt to snuff the fire down to a few embers. Unfortunately, here in GA, people are walking through the fire with no clue that they are on fire.

Yes. Also, the diocese of Fort Worth went back to public Masses this weekend with the following requirements: 1. Everyone wears a mask. 2. Ushers seat everyone six feet apart from another household. 3. Ushers direct people up to Communion to ensure six-foot separation. 4. Ushers in charge of dismissal to ensure distancing during departure. 5. Communion offered outside after Mass for those not comfortable in the building. 6. Weekly requirements to attend continues to be dispensed. 7. Online streaming continues for those not comfortable attending. 8. After 150 people arrive, others must move to another space.

This reminds me of the Roman Catholic Church's dispensations during the black plague.

• A bishop in England gave permission to laymen to make confession to each other as was done by the Apostles, “or if no man is present then even to a woman,” and if no priest could be found to administer extreme unction, “then faith must suffice.”
• Clement VI found it necessary to grant remissions of sin to all who died of the plague because so many were unattended by priests.

I know we are all desperate to hear good things so I’ll share how Mom’s visit went today. I stood back and videoed doggo as she realized “grandma” was here. She’s a big dog, but she’s somehow able to jump on mom and give her full body hugs without knocking her down. As soon as Mom opened the gate, the full body hug went into effect, was mutual as mom tried to kiss doggo’s head through her mask, and lasted longer than usual.

I had set out watermelon chunks for her to give the chickens and I set up a chair in the handicapped chicken’s yard. Mom sat there with her favorite chicken in her lap and the dog by her side for a good, long while, and we stayed a good distance away with masks on as well and chatted.

I actually got the greatest picture of those three together, content. The handicapped chicken and the dog are best friends, too, so everybody was happy.

YAY.
very happy for you and her and the animals!

Yes, well that was in the works when we decided she wanted to see her chickens, too. My dog gets car sick, but I will probably still take her there from time to time.

gravol for dogs?

I take it that wasn't the detective shipment from China?

yeah I don't think it's the same one because the defective ones were purchased - the others were gifted

Vaccine Info...
Trump wants to deliver 300 million doses of vaccine by the end of the year. Is that even possible?

Arrrggghhh. Ok, I get it. Testing out herd immunity/mentality exposing all those shoe purchasers. Maybe three years or so to get to 60-70% immunity?

Crabbing to us -
Tie a chicken leg on a long length of string.
Throw it out into the water.
Tie the other end to a stick and put in in the ground. Have some slack in the line.
When the line pulls tight/taut - gently pull the line/chicken leg towards you.
Have a net ready and once you can see the crab, scoop the crab into the net.

That’s how we do it in Louisiana.

I don't know. There is a shortage of pharmaceutical-grade glass* to hold the vaccines. So that bottleneck needs to be overcome.

*Didn't know such a thing existed until recently.

Hurrying up the herd immunity I guess.

I think that the National Guard should put up a "practice" mobile hospital in Atlanta this week.
