I’m not an overly religious person and if you’re not, then please disregard this, but I feel like in my neighborhood there is a lot of truth to this.  I saw more people walking on trails today, and riding bikes with their kids more today than I have in the last 6 months.  There may be a small silver lining to all this shit.

Great post. Thank you.

Thank you Chuck.  I’m not tech savvy.  Don’t know how to put 2 quotes in a post.

Shot some video going down the Strip at about 2:20 this afternoon. I'm going to edit it for length (like when we were stopped at lights and so forth) and post it later. It's like a ghost town. A few people on bikes, the scattered pedestrian or two here and there, but that was it.

I voted "calm" but really it should be "concerned," between calm and worried.

I also could pick numerous of the last poll - spending time with family, writing, watching movies, a bit of work.

Working 6 days a week for a while. Killing the OT. Not worried about work, pretty much stay home with the wife. Family seems to be doing good. 

this will pass, 3/10 on the worried scale

the poll needs the ability to select more than one box.

We have stopped visiting across the prison system. We are checking incoming staff for temperature at shift change. Anyone 100.4 or higher is being sent home. We have an area on the yard set aside for quarantine if we need it. There have been some false alarms, but so far nothing positive. We had a canteen employee who came through at an odd time when we weren't screening. He went onto the yard with flu-like symptoms. We have quarantined the 20 inmates that he was in close contact with. He has been tested for COVID-19, and we are awaiting the results. So far, everyone that we have tested has been positive for Influenza-A, which rules out COVID-19 according to our briefings from the CDC.

The latest CDC briefing that we received said that if a person contracts COIVID-19, some symptom will appear within 72 hours. People may not develop all of them, but even the people who are asymptomatic won't stay that way.

As if working in the prison system isn't already stressful enough.   Thanks for what you do.

Get the best camera you can and shoot as much 4K footage as you can and then offer it as stock footage for the studios to use for their next zombie apocalypse movie.

I believe we will be waiting until July for games played before crowds. I was (still am) hoping games could be played in empty stadiums starting Memorial Day Weekend. 

To be honest, I have no idea if that is even possible, but Joe Maddon suggested the same thing.

The guy tested positive for Influenza-A, so no COVID. The quarantine will be ended probably tomorrow. One bullet dodged.

I heard about some of the things going on in California, particularly in San Francisco. Here in Colorado, they aren't much better (we have had 4 people die, including a kid in Pueblo). As of yesterday, Denver has been locked down and quarantined, along with San Francisco, Philadelphia, Seattle and other cities in the country.  My city (Colorado Springs) may be next. The libraries, banks, and the malls in Colorado Springs are closed.are closed. I am in the high risk group (65 and older) and seniors are being advised to stay home, and indoors. With all the precautions that are being taken, I think this pandemic will be under control sooner than people think. The media has blown this up way to much.

Books. I sure wish there were digitized versions of many of these, but a lot came before that format. But a useful way to fill time in a sports deprived world.

About half my book collection, scattered in different rooms on three floors. Messy as you can see. This time gives me the chance to try and organize and thin out stuff. 

As a former academic, lots of these books were for professional and research purposes. Also a ton of sports, entertainment and screenwriting material too. 

For baseball fiction I started reading 'Return to Yankee Stadium' by Kenn Neyland. A really cool concept. Part speculative fiction, part fact about Roger Maris and how he regretted being forced to retire because of injuries. The book actually was a surprise, because it was thrown in with the Maris autograph I finally acquired at a decent price.
