We all want stuff more when we can't have it. For me it's pizza--a small thin-crust delivered to my front steps "contact-free"--for just over twenty bucks. I've "pulled the trigger" on this three times during each of the three weeks I've been working from home. As far as personally picking up take-out at a restaurant, is that burger and fries worth risking your life for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Telling all the employees to be prepared. Just trying to give some optimistic outlook based on some numbers. Just keep this as a positive thought and don’t expect it to be true course. source : Institute of Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington. Just an estimate. as of now it’s just a guesstimate even since non of the pattern followed any common sense so far. The growth of new cases in Ohio has slowed until last Saturday 3/28 cases in Ohio were growing by 20%+ every day. after that Sunday 3/29 - 17.57% Monday 3/30 - 16.94% Tuesday 3/31 - 13.76% Wednesday 4/1 - 15.83% Thursday 4/2 - 13.94% Friday 4/3 - 14.13% Saturday 4/4 - 12.89% Sunday 4/5 - 8.13% Based on this these guys revised and saying Ohio is now projected to peak in hospitalizations in 2 days, on April 8. By Sunday, April 26, Ohio is projected to need less than 200 hospital beds across the entire state. Ohio is projected to have 0 shortages in terms of regular beds or ICU beds. Ohio is projected to need 223 ventilators, down from the previous projection of 615. All seems positive, on ground lvl I can tell you at one point they were making arrangement to convert all the closed of cafeteria sections into make shift wards to cover demands and of course to make lot of money etc, but we never saw the extreme brunt, we never had the tough job to choose who gets to go on the ventilator. Whtr the grandma with sniffles or the young dad with sniffles and large goober. They all got put on ventilator of course for more billing and money is money. there is an old saying, it’s easier to wake people up when they are sleeping. But when they pretend to be sleeping it’s difficult. 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a huge amount of TP, I asked the manager if TP would be available later, he said the hoarders are gone. The war between the hoarders and the TP manufacturers seems to be over and the TP manufacturers won. The plants can make more than the hoarders can store in the homes. The hoarders put up a good fight, but the plants can run round the clock and require very little man power to operate. At least that's the story in CLE. BTW, Costco will not let you return the over bought TP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saying Acton is a scientist and a doctor so she's right is like saying an orthopedic surgeon is qualified to pull teeth like an oral surgeon.

snot Posted April 7, 2020 Report Share Posted April 7, 2020 @NinjaDoc Thanks for the updated on what you are seeing. The VP at my husbands company died, however they are truly essential since they are in Trucking. Two of our church members are at the nursing home in Miami Co. Where we had an out break. Both are fine, but 6 people died in that home. I hate working from home. But grateful to be working and healthy. I need to learn patiences and I was becoming addicted to working out.... So, I needed this although I did not want it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wahoo Posted April 7, 2020 Report Share Posted April 7, 2020 Stopped at Marcs in Elyria for some canned goods today after picking up our renewed CHLs. Couldn’t believe they had lots of TP. Bought a few packages since we’re helping supply family that can’t get out. Still no Clorox or Lysol wipes. No problem, we just make our own with a bleach and water mixture on wash cloths, then wash them and reuse. Still can’t understand why people thought they needed to hoard toilet paper.

Steve Butters Posted April 7, 2020 Report Share Posted April 7, 2020 I finally found TP yesterday... It's some bullshit brand and it's lavender scented, but we're down to our last pack so I grabbed one. First I've seen TP in a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
