Formerly DT: COVID-19 - Featuring Lots of Politics, now CR because political talk not going away
Update on Mrs CL. She didn't like it but I put my foot down and told her that we needed to come home, where we are now after the 6 hour drive up from South Padre. She isn't happy at all about ending her vacation early, but her parents both convinced her earlier this afternoon that it was probably the right thing to do rather than check in to a hotel with other guests from who knows where and possibly bring the virus home with her ahead of schedule. She's slowly getting less mad about it, but I'll be the target of some ire for a few days I am sure. All that being said, I do think it was the right thing to do. This is about to get real bad real fast and the best thing anyone can do is hunker down and try to avoid contact with as many people as possible, including masses of strangers in a hotels and tourist attractions.

Bright side of this is that maybe we diversify our supply chain now.

I tend to agree with this in the sense of, "Just assume everyone has it and everyone should stay apart from other people for 2 months". But, all that being said, I don't think a lot of Americans will take that seriously until they know for sure that they do have it, which is the value of the testing.

Agreed on the utilities. If power and water and gas go down, it's because there are no well workers to keep them turned on and civilization is collapsing. If that's the case, we are right fucked Cormac McCarthy style. EDIT: I guess there would be issues like coal deliveries via train, etc etc, but the point is still valid.

The Gun Ownerās thread
In Coronavirus prepper news, I'm happy that I have 30k+ rounds in my barn, ready for holing up and hunkering down if it comes to that.

Yeah, this kind of bullshit is why its spreading. Reckless disregard for other people. Hell, it wasn't just that he was sick, it was that he was sick - they got a phone call with the positive test report while waiting to take off - and he stayed on the fucking plane. Just bullshit.

I talked to my 83 year old dad last night. Diabetic, heart problems, recovering from a badly broken arm back in January. Lots of underlying health issues. He says is is doing fine. He lives in Snyder, which isn't a tiny town but it's small and more isolated than lots of places. I told him to stay there and don't leave town for at least three months.

Currently debating with Mrs CL about whether to cut our spring break vacation short and go home today. We have been in South Padre for the past 4 days and have been planning all along to go to San Antonio today (Thursday) through the weekend in advance of the crowds of crazy college kids that will descend on this place tomorrow. I'm of the mind that it's probably more responsible to just go home today and get ready to hunker down and limit our contact with other people. Her reasoning is that we might as well enjoy this week since there are going to be lots of changed plans in the future (like not going on our Princess Alaska cruise this summer). Can't believe we are the only ones having this kind of discussion right now.

Rudy Gobert isn't the only professional athlete in the world who has tested positive.

I had a fever and a very mild dry cough For about a week back in February. Thought it was the flu that I had picked up from my dad the week before, but now Iām wondering.

Was thinking about taking wife to see Chris Stapleton at the rodeo tomorrow night. Looks like tickets are really cheap.

2019 Fishing - Bent rods and tight lines
We went out with Walter Bode this morning and hammered the small Sheepsheads. Caught a few keepers and have some meat in the box as well. Thanks again for the tip. He was great with the boys. They had a very good time and already are asking to go again.

My understanding is that runny nose is actually not a symptom. Youāre in the clear.

Dude, sometimes the smart thing to do is just shut up. I agree with you on a lot of this stuff but youāre heading for a shaggy implosion. Step away from the computer for 24 hours.

Now I'm pissed. Canceling classes and all was kind of cute but this is bullshit.

Cheering for politicians to get sick isn't "dumb fucking decisions". It's CR bullshit.

One of my college buddies lives in Lexington and his next door neighbor is self-quarantining. One of his daughters sits next to a girl in school who supposedly actually is a confirmed case. He feels like he's in the crosshairs. I have another college friend in Queens whose 6 year old son is a suspected case. (Rapid onset fever and cough) Starting to get personal.

We are supposed to take an Alaska cruise on a Princess ship in July and Iām seriously doubting now - four months in advance - the likelihood of that happening.
