How's the Virus affecting folks?

Generally speaking, this area is for general discussion about things in general, in most cases.

In the paper yesterday someone who we pay to know said we are where Italy was 2 weeks ago. We know where Italy is today. Is that what we have to look forward to?

This is much like the fire prevention. Do what you can before the danger is at is at your front door.

We are being proactive in doing what we can to help flatten the curve.
A "shelter-in-place" order was issued Tuesday by Sonoma County Public Health Officer
It’s similar to those enacted Monday in six other Bay Area counties.
The message to residents: Unless absolutely necessary, stay at home.

I recommend you check out comedian Mel Brooks and his son's very funny -- but also very important -- message about social distancing.

Let's keep checking in with each other.

We are now close to what Kevin is seeing, less the shelter in place ... and I'm betting that happens this weekend in Detroit Metro. We had 15 new cases today, all in that area. There are a few other cases scattered around Michigan's other counties ... but those have been slow in expanding. I heard the count that will get reported tomorrow will be +30 new cases (it was on one of the new conferences).

Big 3 are all shuttering plants ... that will have a huge trick;e down economic impact.
Thanks,
Ed

I'm afraid the Feds are going to be printing a lot more money to get us through this. Inflation here we come.

No Virus but it sure is lonesome not being able to have human contact except through texting and phn calls. I've got a lot of stories to tell and no one to listen. :(

Thanks Windy, I tell people my brain is full of useless information and if you don't run I'll give you some of it. Thought I'd share a project I finished. It is a Van Brunt 5 disk grain drill. They were bought by John Deere later. I also have a IHC 5 disk grain drill waiting for some castings from Dan to complete it. :D

That's a neat looking machine. What year? I don't know much about such things.

Great job on the grain drill.
