Covid19 Fallout Observations

This just in.
Along with the massive decline in Corona beer sales, It seems men are refusing to use the urinals in many establishments.

Canadian Observation ...

"The Liberal government announced late Monday that it has agreed
to change draft legislation that proposed to grant itself wide-reaching
new powers to tax and spend without parliamentary approval
until Dec. 31, 2021, through an emergency spending bill."

IT IS MY HOPE THAT EVERYONE ON THE "CANADIAN TEAM" REMEMBERS
THOSE WHO ATTEMPT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE IN THIS TIME OF CRISIS EVEN
IF THEY FIND THAT WE ARE TOO WISE FOR THEM TO GET AWAY WITH IT !!!

Not making a political statement - so do not get my observation wrong.
I will not be able to grab on to and embrace greased-piggy proposals
that Canadian Minority Government is making.

Only have one thing to say.... (for the moment)...lol

 
Amazed all these Democrats would go to a Trump facility but there they were. The story is right two weeks ago was indeed a lifetime in the current climate.

Hope they get better.

On a side note: Any predictions in the change in divorce rate in 3 months? Also, but not related to the first question, the number of births in 9 months? 😝

Let us know which you are leaning towards Riley but be forewarned.... Either one will bring you that much closer to driving that brand new Chevy Spark....:p
 
Well, I upgraded again...

New tv for the back patio. The 55" wasn't adequate for rerun hockey from the pool.

Today I'm glad I decided to stay put. This quarantine is costing me a fortune but... so far no symptoms. 1.5 days to go.

Hope you are all ok there. (the picture is actually cristal clear... my photography sucks. And yes Andy.., the Jets finally won one, haha)

This quarantine thing has me limited to CCF, online shopping and drinking Nik. So today I stopped shopping and started cooking.

Thanks man... I really appreciate the love.

Being stuck at home is a real hardship. I am however hanging on the best I can.

I have counseling available 24/7 however so don't feel; bad for me.

I will tough it out

Day 7 almost over and we are both alive and without symptoms. Here's hoping it remains that way. I see the feds have finally mandated self isolation for returning travelers and people with Covid for all of Canada. Too little too late. Kudos for Alberta for having this in place two weeks ago. The US is rapidly becoming the new epicenter with approx. 11,000 new cases per day. At this rate they will overtake Italy tomorrow and China the next day for total known cases.
But still we have hordes of people not taking this serious. I'm totally dumbfounded by the stories I'm hearing, not limited to the idiot in Missouri charged for licking items in a Walmart store. With any luck his tongue will rot off in jail but I'm still doubtful if he would be any less of an idiot.
My niece in Spruce Grove was telling her parents today that their neighbours are hosting house parties for their friends... Her husband is 70 years old with congerstive heart failure disease. Again I say.... Can't fix stupid....
But this practice is not limited to them. This is happening all over Canada and still, regulations and penalties are barely, and very slowly coming into place to curtail this. If these people contract the virus and die, some will say they deserved it but it's not their death that concerns me nearly as much as every innocent person out there who is self isolating, social distancing and taking all the recommended precautions, and may still be subject to infection only because others either think they are immortal, the rules don't apply to them or they just aren't smart enough to care.
A totalitarian state for the entire country will not be far off if everyone, including our federal government doesn't soon smarten up.

Well... that's my day 7 rant and after day 14 of our quarantine has ended, neither of us has any intention of having any contact with others until this thing is over, social distancing or not. I'm thinking we may be holed up here on the farm for quite some time.

Best wishes to stay healthy and stay smart to everyone.

Yes Eric, it is phenomenal how selfish some people can be. My sister the PHD could explain the psychology of this piss poor behavior but we agreed to disagree on "stuipid".

You will find by day 14 you will be all set up to hunker down for the long term and will have no desire to go out to get infected. It is where I am now. Hope you have lots of car polish and a box or 2 of little goodies to bolt on.

Very impressed at your responsible attitude protecting your neighbors, family and fellow Canadians.

Lots of car shine which i will get to as soon as the weather smartens up enough to get the car out and the water hose thaws out. The way we're going that's looking like May...lol...I'm gonna try the Mequiars ceramic coating this time around and see if I like it. I do have a RaceReady catch can to install as well, so will get to that one of these days when I'm really bored....

Stay healthy Derek.
 
Day 9... Woohooo... Still all good so am hedging my bets that between the flying metal tubes and the shoulder to shoulder cattle holding pens they refer to as airports, we have avoided covid contamination. Here's hoping that we can all avoid it in the coming weeks as well. I see a large number of people in Iran are drinking methanol as a potential way to avoid catching covid. It appears to be working as most of them have died from methanol poisoning... Sad sad things this virus has brought down on the world. stay smart and healthy my friends.

Did the virus really bring us down? Or is there something else going on? Asking for a friend.

I agree, I'm on day 10 and each day gets easier. Now I work from home as best I can and actually feel less stressed.
