Corona virus

Thank you for that laugh. Hook line and sinker for me.

We need more of that LOL.

So I'm in the class of essential worker. Fortunately I still have 40 + hours a week and due to some of this BS sometime more.

Friday evening I actually got home early, did some yard work, chatting with the neighbors while practicing "social distancing" and finally got to light up a nice Cigar.

Got out my tools and started my work on a long overdue project. At least I got some of it done before the rain came. I'll get it done eventually.

Saturday was better. At least with the whole social distancing nobody stops by and bothers me to see what I'm doing now.

I can work in peace and be a grumpy old man. Or at least act like one.

All my friends with stalled hot rod projects are actually working on them now that they have time to work on them. No excuses. They are actually stuck at home.

With the exception of "ho because, you get one engine hoist I can borrow". I bring you beer.

Hell I don't even drink beer. Bring me Scotch! And don't lick the bottle!

Let's see how many old guys get their cars running and how many young guys knock up their old ladies.

Zero deaths in Hawaii still.
I can tell you swallow lots of CNN.
Just waiting for the zombies apocalypse.

Snowflake.

First death reported today. America also leading number of coronavirus cases by a wide margin (187,000) and not showing any signs of slowing down as we haven't even peaked yet. 500 deaths yesterday, 700+ today, total exceeding 3,800. The death total is projected to hit somewhere around 100,000 and that is with the social distancing and staying at home. The coronavirus quarantine is all overreacting and panic until it isn't.

The public defender recommended 426 inmates for release (facing the C-19 outbreak) due to overpopulation in jails; submitted to the HSCourt. For those ex-cons who when already serve time in jail, you know: (1) these guys going recruit kids for establish gangs; (2) recruit the wannabees to commit felonies (robbery, drug dealing, gambling, scams, looting, etc.); (3) they have access to weapons and ammo; (4) they still desperate, dangerous, and horny (not only them). Who going check up on them? Of course, the ACLU stay like this. Let them stay inside and make face masks from SP.
Releasing these buggahs ain't going to prevent the C-19 outbreak from advancing; in fact, going increase the danger to public safety, health, and juvenile crime.

Unreal times we going through. Won't be surprised on the next stupid idiotic idea to come along. Well, at least they won't be robbing tourists at gunpoint cause ain't going have none around. Guess they'll instead.

Hit costco / don quijote parking lots or go house to house. AT GUNPOINT!! Damn, saw on the news that guns and ammo are selling strong at the gun shops.

Okay, we can all agree that this COVID-19 is not going away anytime soon. And we can all agree that the AMPs WILL REOPEN until this infectious disease is OVER. So do any of you guys have any of the providers mobile or and phone numbers? I really need to bang a hot girl. Preferably, Nara, Linda, Nicole, or and any of the ALL-STARS. Much MAHALO. I do not have COVID-19. Please I need to bang a hot girl.

We all want to bang a hot girl, and none of us are going to be able to do that until at least June. We can use porn hub, onlyfans, or cam models in the meantime. A few escorts sent me email newsletters offering FaceTime video chat encounters for 200. I'll pass. Pornhub is free. All we can do is hunker down and go through the withdrawals. Not worth the risk anyway. You might not have it, but they might.

Based on Italy's numbers their death rate is close to 5%. There's no immunity to this because it is the new SARS COVID 2 virus. If you get it, you're going to get sick. Eighty percent of the people who get it will have a mild attack (meaning you won't have to to go to the hospital). Of the 20 percent who require hospitalization, half of those will have to go on a respirator. We don't have that many respirators. At that point doctors will have to decide who gets a respirator who dies of pneumonia. If you recover from the COVID19 induced pneumonia, your lungs may be permanently fucked up (meaning you're carrying an oxygen tank with you for the rest of your life).

Those with the following conditions probably will need hospitalization: smokers, asthmatics, diabetics, People with high blood pressure, heart disease, cancer survivors, those with immunity disorders, sleep apnea, and those who are morbidly obese. That's a shit ton of people. In Korea they found out that many who did not exhibit symptoms of COVID19 were still testing positive (so they were spreading it to grandma and grandpa). Our local economy is going to be royal fucked no matter what happens. Get used to hard times ahead.

I concur, look at these projections for HI below, we'll run out of ICU beds and ventilator in a couple of weeks. Stay safe, stay well, so you can hobby another day.

You have good points. But we all know that the virus sets the timeline and it is a mysterious, illogical new danger (probably a bad hybrid of past influenzas). Better to overreact than realizing later that we should have done more.

I'm referring to overreaction as far as hoarding TP and that kine stuff. The lock down is basically the result of people continuing to be pilau and stupid, spreading the virus everywhere.

As time goes more people will be infected and more deaths will be registered, because of there are people out there still taking the virus lightly. China seem like is out of the wood after months long of isolation. US overtaken China as the most infected nation in the world, and the health experts said US isn't at the peak level yet. Dude, you need to wake up, this virus is for real.

.

Can't trust what China reports. The US has a population of 330 million, currently has 163,000 cases with 3,100 deaths. Italy with a population of 60 million (1/5 of the US), has 101,000 cases with 11,000 deaths. If the US followed Italy's ratios, then there would have been around 50,000 deaths by now. China has a population of 1.4 billion (over 4 times the US and over 20 times Italy's) yet report only 81,000 cases with 3,300 deaths. With crowded living conditions and healthcare availability in China, I'd say their ratio would be closer to Italy's (multiplied by 20). They are definitely under-reporting by a lot.

I can just imagine the amount of workers that have been laid off or soon to be laid off but company insurance provided should be sufficient hopefully enough. For those that work on a cash basis, under the table, don't file taxes, drive with no car insurance or drivers license, when this virus strikes its not picky who gets infected. Your cash (bankroll) will suffer if you get the virus as hospitals will take patients that have medical insurance first. If your not in this category good for you. Free service maybe?

I did ask an attorney and it could just be me not using the right terminology when I drafted the post, as I am human and not a legal expert by any means (and yes, in the legal world, one word can make a huge difference regarding context and intent). I was just trying to contribute with good intentions to the discussion. However, a co-worker of mine did get stopped at 1 am Saturday going home from work and it was a random stop. He was legit so the cop was cool and told him to drive safe and that was the end of that.

However, if Oahu were to set up checkpoints like Kauai did for curfew compliance and for sobriety checks, I would assume that would be considered legal (not stating a fact, just thinking out loud)? Lots of finger pointing at non residents not following the 14 day quarantine or just the fact that they came here to begin with, yet we locals are probably worse, as a lot of the residents that came back didn't have to (and could've stayed put where they were) and I personally know of three people who are not adhering to the mandatory quarantine, as they just came in over the weekend and are already out and about (to include their family members who live with them, who are also required to undergo the quarantine as well).

Funny how we all used to be so nice to each other and help out one another with provider information just a few weeks ago. To me it is simple, if you are out and about for legitimate reasons, then it's all good. If you are not following the rules and get caught, then you should suffer whatever consequence comes your way, plain and simple, as we are all adults here and should be leading by example. $5000 buys an awful lot of happy endings. LOL.

To me, we all just need to work together to nip this thing in the butt so that life can go back to normal ASAP IMHO. Especially so that folks can get back to work and take care of their families.

He said "probable cause" is simply being "out and about on the road"? There's no way. MAYBE it's "reasonable suspicion", IF an officer sees multiple people in a car, and it's only reasonable suspicion because multiple people in a car is not necessarily an infraction. It's definitely probable cause if you commit a traffic violation. That last bit about "everyone not at home could be considered to be suspected of not following the law. " makes me really not believe you sought advice from an attorney, because that's not how the law works at all.

In fact, I have seen no state which currently has a stay-at-home orders in effect allowing stops of "random vehicles". It's all anecdotal evidence, probably from people who don't want to believe they committed a traffic infraction. Going 35 in a 25: "I wasn't doing anything! Why are you harassing me? Go watch some traffic stops on Youtube. LOL.

Iraq and Afghanistan 23 years retired. Funny, you sound more like a snowflake to me. Also, as I mentioned I'm not out licking faces in public I'm home like I was in my RLB in KAF, all self quarantined. I'm simply posting my thoughts while you piss your panties in some unknown yet unreasonable rage at my post. 🤙. You must have been a fobbit. 🤣

Nah, rabbit. I just actually served.

And KAF is no BAF.

pfft. Fobbit. Lotsa fobbits outta the 75th. GTFOOH

Prep for quarantine past April 30; more like June 30 based on current data and timelines. No mess with this thing.
