My moms best friend is a costume designer. She made one for me, my husband, and my son. My son won't wear his though.
The only person I know with Covid here (confirmed case) is on a vent. I'm not going to into any store or establishment for any reason.
I just got news that a good friend of mine who is a paramedic probably has Covid. His wife is an RN and she tested positive. He's been tested and waiting for the results, but has all of the symptoms (including loss of smell) so it's likely he has it too. To add insult to injury, two of his three young daughters are falling ill now
This shit is SERIOUS and anyone not taking it as such can go fuck themselves. He's a good friend and I just want his family to be okay. He's always had my back and now I feel helpless to do anything for him. He wants me to use him as an example if I post on FB about it. I just feel horrible.
Sending them my very best wishes. Hopefully they'll be among the less ill.
This situation is something we've not had to deal with in our lives, the miracle of vaccination has sheltered us from the horrors of epidemics, until now. We are lucky, in a way that covid is less deadly than say ebola, but it's deadly enough and we've lost that good healthy fear that grandma had.
Meanwhile 190 people working at a meat packing plant in Sioux Falls have tested positive, and god only know how many of their friends and family are sick. https://www.keyc.com/2020/04/09/smit...nt-due-covid-/
I know the article says dozens, but breaking news says 190 as of this morning.
I'm so sorry about your friend and his family. Hopefully they recover quickly. The good news is I haven't read about a lot of kids being hospitalized.
They must have worked within close proximity of each other. Didn't anyone see that as a problem?
The work basically shoulder to shoulder... The plant offered a bounty of $500 for anyone who didn't miss any work in April... (don't know about March) Problem? What problem? grrr
They've closed the plant for deep cleaning and are putting plexiglass barriers up on the line, but I believe the pig is out of the barn...
So are we going to have a meat shortage?
I've had the same thoughts about the lack of immunity. However, on the positive side, there are supposedly like 80 different cold strains, so once you get one you are immune and it's actually a different strain you get each time, so I'm hoping we will actually get immunity to this once we get it.
Mississippi churchgoers fined $500 while attending drive-in service

GREENVILLE, Miss. — Churchgoers who attended a drive-in service at a church in Greenville, Mississippi, were fined $500 for reportedly violating a curfew order from the mayor.
During Thursday night service at King James Bible Baptist Church, while parishoners sat in their vehicles listening to Pastor Charles Hamilton, Greenville Police surrounded the church parking lot.
Jeremy Dys, with First Liberty Institute, is representing Pastor Hamilton and says police were violating the church's constitutional right while enforcing a curfew order from Mayor Errick Simmons.
“They park in their parking spaces, they keep their windows up, the doors closed, they never get out of the cars like the CDC recommends they do,” Dys said. “There's no exception to the United States Constitution for a pandemic. What Mayor Simmons has done is to apply an order without regard to equality and he's singled out churches in particular.”
King James Bible Baptist isn't the only Greenville church police visited.
“We have everybody stay in their cars, with their windows up and go to a certain radio station, a low frequency station,” said Lee Gordon with Temple Baptist Church.
Gordon says there were about thirty cars in the parking lot of Temple Baptist Church.
“The police started coming up and we said, 'we think we're within our rights.' So they started issuing tickets, five hundred dollars tickets,” Gordon said. “I don't know, it may have been twenty to thirty tickets. Everybody got one. It wasn't per car. Me and my wife was in a car together and both of us got tickets.”
Gordon says the intimidation won't stop the faithful from gathering safely.
“This is Easter Sunday, and we want to celebrate Easter Sunday the best way can,” Gordon said.

The Washington Post has been tracking every covid-19 death in the United States, and an in-depth analysis of the first 1,000 who died reveals the breadth of the outbreak?s impact. The virus spreads swiftly and tends to kill in clusters ? in families and senior homes, in dense cities and rural towns. It is especially dangerous for the elderly, but scores of younger people have fallen victim, too.
The trends that emerged during that first month of death have persisted as the toll has mounted. Men are dying more often than women, blacks are dying at a rate higher than whites, and risk rises with age. The pace, however, has increased dramatically. Just two weeks after the first 1,000, more than 21,000 have died.
Behind every reported death, every data point on a curve or chart, is a name and a story: preachers and politicians, health-care workers and teachers, police officers and prisoners, parents and children.
Precious few of those names and stories may ever be widely known. But here are some of them.
That's not what's being reported by even the meat industry itself. Stop acting like an expert when you clearly aren't.

This crazy bitch has been shouting ignore for what seems like forever yet she still likes to fuck with me. I don't fuck with her, I never talk to her, I have no need to comment to her or talk about her, she's the one who starts this bullshit. If she would simply do what she says and ignore this wouldn't be an issue. For whatever reason she cannot ignore, she apparently loves to run her goddamn mouth.
Misinformation bullshit. There are many many meat processing plants in this country and we have plenty of food. We have farms, farmers markets, butcher shops etc. Smithfield and Tyson are not the only places we get our meat.
And ALL of them function the same way with workers standing shoulder to shoulder. I ignore your stupid shit 99% of the time, but when you "run your mouth" about shit you have zero to back up your claims with I'm going to speak up. And why the fuck are you even in here? Mike banned your 5000 sock puppet accounts over and over again for a reason. You're not welcome here and haven't been for EXACTLY this kind of bullshit.
Now, here's some actual facts:
The virus has infected hundreds of workers at plants in Colorado, South Dakota, Iowa, Pennsylvania, Mississippi and elsewhere. The capacity of plants that remain open has also been hurt by workers who are sick or staying home because of fears of illness — though it’s not clear by how much.

She didn't attack you personally like you are doing to her. She just pointed out that what you posted isn't exactly correct and you went on the attack. She backed up everything she said, and you misogynisticly called her a crazy bitch for doing so. I don't care if people argue or disagree, but don't personally attack or you're going to get banned.
