This is what America is all about. Washington has been hard hit by this virus. So... thank you Russel and your wife for this generous contribution Side note. .... My mother was born and raised in Tacoma, Washington. Before her father moved her and the rest of her family to Gary, Indiana. Amazing how we have all come together. God bless HSN. I have a story. My paternal grandmother is of swedish descent(like 100%) from Lincoln, Nebraska. My paternal grandfather (Irish) was from Worthington, IN. They met in San Francisco while my grandpa who was in the Navy was on furlough before he went to Korea. When he got back they got married. And here I am, a 6'3 balding pissed off swedish blonde headed firedbeard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had never heard of him (I like country music, just not my favorite) til I heard his name in a Chris Young song "Raised on Country." "I was raised on Merle, raised on Willie Got my Honky Tonk attitude from Joe Diffie Daddy did too, it's family tradition If someone cranks it up, you can't help but listen My upbringing sounds like George Strait singing And I gotta give props to the radio 'Cause if you know me, I was raised on country" Memorialized forever now... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reacher Posted March 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 Don't like what I am seeing here. Who is going to even be honest? This is going too far IMO. We have really come to the seizure of personal property? Executive order from the governor of Colorado- https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Sp3le5zUavA3GKM_omeDXpm7FNfL-wSt/view "I request that any Colorado business or non-hospital health care facility, whether veterinary, dental, construction, research, institution of higher learning, or other, in possession of PPE, ventilators, respirators and anesthesia machines that are not required for the provision of critical health care services undertake an inventory of such supplies by no later than March 26th, 2020 and prepare to send it to the State of Colorado. I direct the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) to allocate any supplies received pursuant to this order to support activities related to the COVID-19 response." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, that is a request at this time, the state is not seizing property yet. I don’t know of any construction companies that have done that. All the companies I’m dealing with are rationing what they have and are looking for more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is Russia is somewhat of a closed country so they are behind, but it is coming! And yes the numbers are probably not reality! Haven't actually heard any stories of testing so who knows if it's propaganda or just don't know! Back on the humor side when things started to become clear in Russia one of the jokes was, Finally Russians can go visit the Museums and historic sites because all the Chinese Tourists are gone!

Drroogh Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 (edited) Dang, what a cad I am. (old England slang for an unreliable person) Re-realized that I get my dozen or so project updates on Monday from Sherry. Don't really know her other than the weekly updates, but about a week and a half ago I found out she lives in WuHan! Just sent her my personal well wishes! Thanks here for helping me keep it real!

5fouls Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 As of this afternoon, the U.S. has just under 3,000 deaths. Sitting at that number, and looking at how much chaos and anxiety that has created, I'm trying to get my head around 100,000 deaths being a 'good' outcome. That's hard to comprehend.
