God love people here...
-- now 4 more people at ths nursing home my company owns have covid.
-- a pizza place employee, despite delivery only here, tested positive and now there is potential contamination for their co workers and anyone who ordered food..
-- an 18 and 19 year old were just charged 3000+ dollars in fines for stunting, driving a car 140km per hour in a 90km zone and not obeying social distancing..
-- two more nursing homes also have more positive tests.
My mom and grandmother ordered chinese then other day and all I could think was what if someone who made their food has it... everyone has to go grocery shopping at some point... 4 grocery stores have already had people who work there test positive... why increase the risk with takeout food11 -

I just saw the stunting thing on the news. I'm in Sydney.0 -
I cant believe those kids.. how reckless.
So young too, imagine being that age and killing someone or even your friend because of your stupid.1 -
If I was married right now I'd be divorced by the time this is over. Does that make sense?
I live in a place that has a view of a public park. People are still out, even though the park is technically closed.
I'm watching people and it seems pretty common that one person will have a mask and their friend doesn't. I've been watching this one couple, the one person has a mask and is doing the social distancing thing and the other person is leaning on a fence that's about chin level. Full bare arms resting on the railing, chin on the railing. No mask. I guess it hasn't occurred to him/her that a thousand other people have done that same thing in the last - oh - three days?
Then there's this family, there's five of them. They got off their bikes and are sitting on the side of the pathway - people walking, running, riding bikes right past them, a foot away. The little boy is playing in the grass...I don't suppose they care that that is the spot where people potty their dogs all day every day...and that everyone is breathing (heavily) on them from a foot away.
There are an awful lot of not-very-concerned people for it being Seattle, the first area to have this stupid virus. I would resign from all these families.12 -
Lol... I'm glad I cant see any parks here but that being said, anyone in a park or on a trail or whatever if caught gets fined and their car is towed... so.. it's probably not as bad here but I'd be full on rage on the inside watching those people2

What country are you in? And I wish people were getting fined.3
-
I'm in nova scotia Canada, I dont know if that applies to all provinces in state of emergency but here, anything provincial, if you're there you're fined, and were told that if you have to drive somewhere to take a walk or something like that, you shouldnt be there. Stay in your community for walks3

Easter party 🎈at homes (parks closed) here the cops kept running them off they wait come right back or go to another home. One neighbor has 20cars the cops ran them off an hour before their was only 4 cars then. Went in the backyard was so loud neighbors out everywhere sounded like a school carnival 🎡. Wasn’t all the houses but the ones barbecuing had tons of friends besides family over (I could understand a couple family members depending who). One stole a broken treadmill from the yard... hubby got scared he was organizing the garage we thought it was the good one at first. Relief to know they hauled off the trash lol 😆. Wish I could see their faces when they plug it in lol.
Garage looks great we organized door closed at the end Opened garage hauled to the curb all we could ,but had to move a stove y treadmill by the cars to do it.We put the working stove they didn’t steal back in the garage. Hubby went inside for trash sacks that’s all the time they needed.7 -

Wait... You got stolen from? On Easter? And the thing they stole was actually broken, so you're okay with it? Just making sure. I'm not sure if I should laugh at this, be amazed at the brazenness, or be angry on your behalf. Either way, some people are jerks, and I'm sorry you got stolen from.7 -
I dont get the Easter thing lol.... it's not christmas... cant people just miss easter? I'm not religious, so I understand that for some it has a religious significance... but those religious things dont have anything to do with bbqs and parties lol...14

JustSomeEM- They just walked up the driveway helped themselves. Here they make you go online fill out a report. Not sure how you fill out a report for stolen trash lol 😂. Hubby figures folks out of work are getting desperate so he decided will not file an online report. That thing had a bad wheel going to be a bigger heavy y hard to move around I like to think their struggling about now to take it to a pawn shop or their home get to a plug 🔌 find out the motor burned up on it. We were saving it only to use the parts from it on the good one like the belt to magnetic 🧲 key or even the nuts y bolts if needed. Great news is the garage looks great!8

Lol... not covid related but I was on youtube and this video was on my feed of a 600lbs guy, and of course, youtube comments are always disgusting but this one guy lol... omg.. I had to close the video cause my urge to correct him was so awful
He claims he was 300 pounds and lost 150 pounds in 3 months... and that fat people just make excuses.
And I'm thinking.. that's 12lbs per week lol
....thats a 6250 calorie deficit per day...
Ain't no way in hell that is even real.. lol.. and yet 47 people clicked thumbs up lol...
It amazes me how someone can make a fake story, simply to put down fat people lol5 -

It would slow down as he got closer to 150 lbs., but very obese people can lose weight really really fast early on. Someone who is 600 lbs. or 300 lbs. (I'm unclear which as you said 600 at first, then 300) has a very high BMR even when sedentary. In the absence of anything unusual that makes a difference, it would make sense that he could have lost almost that quickly if he did the right things.3 -

(snip good stuff)
*This is something else I've heard about restaurants in our area: apparently some of them have started selling groceries, toilet paper, hand sanitizer, in order to supplement their revenues from carryout and delivery of their own foods. So this is another possible distribution chain folks could look into.
Yes, this is true here as well. And in at least one case here, the farmers market (my most frequent one) is now closed but has published lists of their vendors, and how to contact them for at-farm sales. So, looking at websites or Facebook pages of markets in your area may be a place to find these sources.
I posted in another thread by I think not here that another thing happening here is that one of the farm-to-table restaurants is using their supply chain to make up produce boxes, which they sell one day a week for pickup at the restaurant. This specific restaurant is expensive and a little on the precious side in their usual fare, but I thought the produce box prices were not super far out of line with what I'd normally pay for equal (i.e., very good) quality at the farmers' market. I split a box with a friend and got the items in the photo below (red potatoes, couple bulbs shallots, red onion, couple big watermelon radishes, fresh mint) plus two big heads of fancy leaf lettuce and some fresh mushrooms (I think oyster). My share was $13, and the restaurant kindly split the order in two for us. (Friend picked up at restaurant, delivered here contactlessly
.)
The produce is all local, from chilly mid-Michigan in April, so don't assume seasonality is widely a barrier to this being possible in (most of) your areas.
They offered a couple of different produce boxes, a couple meat boxes, dairy box, wine & cheese box, coffee box (includes coffee, dairy half & half, the restaurant's fancy vanilla/cardamom sugar cubes
), at varied prices.
I think I and others have said before: Some of the local craft distilleries (that normally distill vodka, whiskey, etc.) are making hand sanitizer for sale. Local one here I know about is selling it around cost in consumer-size small bottles.
Y'all know how they human brain is wired to see faces? When I first looked at the picture, my brain insisted that the spot of light or missing skin or whatever toward the top of the second shallot from the left was a Cyclops or Monsters Inc. single eye, and the striation in the middle of the shallot was a mouth, and the bits of stem and root at the sides were little stubby Monsters arms ... For a second I thought you had decided to decorate shallots for Easter instead of eggs, which are in short supply in many areas.
We have three distilleries that come to the local farmers market, and at least one of them was advertising hand sanitizer. Didn't seem worth the trip just for that, as I found three or four small containers of hand sanitizer around the house back around the time this thread started, and I hardly ever need it, since I spend most of my time these days within 20 feet of running water and soap.5 -

Our parks are opened or closed based on specific attributes and usage, I guess. I drove by one today after going out for guess and to deliver disinfectant wipes to my brother, so on a whim I decided to stop and take my daily walk with some different scenery. They rope off any playground equipment, and you're not supposed to play team sports with large groups, but it's OK to walk, run, jog, bike, walk your dog, take the kids out on their scooters, etc., so long as you maintain appropriate distances. It was nice for a while, but after the fifth or so person or couple seemed to go out of their way to crowd my side of the wide path after I stepped off the path to create distance, I had had enough. I was one of a smattering of people using face coverings, but that wouldn't have bothered if I felt like people were paying attention to distancing. I'm willing to consider that at least some of the problem was in my head, and that people weren't intentionally trying to get too close.5 -

In our area some jurisdictions are asking people to please not do spring cleaning at this time and have already cancelled "large-item" haul-aways that residents are entitled to request about four times a year. Some things they would normally take with regular pickup are being left, as well. I guess they're having some staffing issues, and also are trying to eliminate situations where multiple workers have to get together to move something large.4
