Yay, Ranger Jeff et al get to work from home for at least 2 weeks. Don't know if the county judge's stay at home order helped tptb pull their heads outta asses or my sternly worded email to my former boss, the GM and parks AGM. Prolly the order, tho my glare of righteousness (tm Sliver) may have helped.

You're going to find a number of countries prohibiting entry from the United States over the next few months.

Just wanted to post an update on my daughter and son-in-law. Both have gotten past the worst of the sickness. The fevers have broken and their breathing is getting better. They both expect to make a full recovery. And they still won't be listed as cases because they never were able to be tested.

There are reports that there's a worldwide shortage of condoms thanks to the pandemic. That must be because people are staying at home with nothing better to do.

One would think that casual encounters would be way, way, way down in the crisis.

Abbott Laboratories has received approval for a 5-minute, portable test for the coronavirus. Production will start April 1 and they expect to manufacture 50,000 tests per day. So by the end of April, they'll have manufactured 1.5 million tests. --Bob

This site, which I referenced in another thread, also keeps real time US statistics from a variety of sources. They appear to be a bit more up-to-date than the Post sources because they use local news sources in addition to official state sources (for New York, they show about 6,000 more cases and 100 more deaths). For each state, they list their source(s) for their statistics. They also keep stats for several other hot-spot countries. Worldometers has frequently been cited as an excellent source for reliable, unbiased statistics in numerous areas in addition to the current coronavirus outbreak.

Coronavirus News: Rhode Island National Guard goes door-to-door to find New Yorkers fleeing COVID-19 hotspots

The Rhode Island National Guard started going door to door on Saturday in coastal areas to inform any New Yorkers who may have come to the state that they must self-quarantine for 14 days while Gov. Gina Raimondo expanded the mandatory self-quarantine to anyone visiting the state.

Raimondo also ordered residents to stay at home, with exceptions for getting food, medicines or going to the doctor, and ordered nonessential retail businesses to close Monday until April 13 to help stop the spread of the coronavirus. She also directed realtors and hotel operators to include new requirements that any out-of-state residents must quarantine for 14 days in their purchase agreements.

State Police set up a checkpoint on I-95 in Hope Valley on Friday where drivers with New York license plates must stop and provide contact information and were told to self-quarantine for two weeks, WPRI.com reported.

If New Yorkers don't comply, they face fines and jail time, Raimondo said, adding that that's not the goal.

"I want to be crystal clear about this: If you're coming to Rhode Island from New York you are ordered into quarantine. The reason for that is because more than half of the cases of coronavirus in America are in New York," Raimondo said, adding that it's not meant to be discriminatory.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo called the order "reactionary" and unconstitutional, saying he'd sue Rhode Island if the policy isn't rescinded but believed they could "work it out."

What a joke. No better place to social distance than surfing out in the ocean.

Call me when they shut down mass transit with people still jammed together.

My girlfriend is well acquainted with that particular crowd. The guy was warned and wouldn't leave. And a lot of people were on the beach, even though it's closed, because of the examples the surfers were setting. So an awful lot of people who would really rather be on the beach were witnessing the tragedy of the commons in real life.

The cops did the right thing. --Bob

Florida Megachurch Pastor Arrested After Violating Social Distancing Guidelines

https://www.patheos.com/blogs/progressi ... uidelines/
Earlier today Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister announced that Pastor Rodney Howard-Browne was wanted on an arrest warrant after flaunting social distancing orders by holding two large services on Sunday.
It's flouting, not flaunting.

Something similar is going on in Lousiana, but I don't think anyone has been threatened yet with arrest. --Bob
