I think I'll stick to using TP like regular folks after I go, but thanks for the tip anyway.

Curious to see how the newly enacted stay at home order Florida's governor put into action today was being adhered to, I checked out the live cam that overlooks the fuel and pump out dock here. https://kingfisherfleet.com/live-cam/
It's closed now but earlier I saw a line of boats waiting in line.
The dock opens tomorrow at 7:00 EST and closes at 17:30 EST. Could be interesting. Just make sure no boat has more than 10 people in it. The Gov doesn't permit that.

Here in New Zealand we have around 950 case with fairly detail info on each ie cases local to me:
Case 1 (RECOVERED): Male, 20s. Departed Paris on flight EY38 to Abu Dhabi on March 14, then to Sydney on flight EY450 and then to Auckland on VA0141, arriving on March 16
Case 2: Female, 40s. Departed Melbourne on flight JQ217 to Auckland on March 15
Case 3: Female, 50s. Departed UK on flight EK38 to Dubai on March 19. Departed Dubai on flight EK448 for Auckland on March 21 (recovering in Whangarei hospital as of 26/3)
Case 4: Male, 60s. Departed Los Angeles on flight NZ1 on March 23 and arrived in Auckland on March 24
Case 5: Female, 20s. Departed Dubai on flight EK448 on March 19
Case 6: Female, 20s. Departed Dubai on flight EK448 and arrived in New Zealand on March 24
Case 7: Female, 60s (probable). Travelled from the United States out of LAX on March 18 and arrived in New Zealand on March 19.
Case 8: Female, 40s
Case 9: Female, 20s. Departed Canada on flight GB615 on March 23 and arrived in New Zealand on the same date.
Case 10: Male, 50s. Departed United States and arrived in New Zealand on March 22.
Case 11: Female, 30s. No international travel.
Case 12: Female, 40s.
Case 13: Male, 50s.
People are supposed to self isolate for 14 days on arrival, but some don't. They go out and don't social distance
From other parts in NZ there are 10 significant clusters. In Auckland, around Marist school there are 60 associated cases, in Bluff, around a wedding, 55 cases, and in Matamata 54 cases. (a pub on st paddy's night)
Really brings home the possible spread.

Take a look at Iceland's data. They are doing tons of testing and they are estimating 50% asymptomatic population. Pretty much everyone else was guessing 25-30%
If half the population don't show symptoms but can spread it what does that do to control it?

Backstay, never bought a suit, never went to Vegas
So far not a lot of cases near us in rural SE CT, but I expect that will change. I am wearing nitrile gloves a work, when handling materials, per new company policy, and I ordered 2 masks for missus BB and me, which I expect we will be wearing soon. Every morning I wipe disinfectant on every possible surface that people might touch in my office and outer tool crib. The Missus is staying at home with a busted wrist, and off work for 6 weeks, but I am still working 5 1/2 days a week, at an essential manufacturer. Co-worker turned me onto these masks that I ordered online. They are washable and have carbon inner filters that are good for up to 4 days. I bought spares. The one for Missus BB has flowers and mine is a grey camouflage print. Got to be prepared for when the shit hits the fan here, like elsewhere..

Here the whole country is in lock down.
Everybody but essential workers in self isolation.
All business other than essential such as supermarkets closed. No restaurants, takeaways, pubs,retail etc
No schools, sports, sailing etc
No travel except things like supermarket but then limits on number of customers in store and must keep 2m apart.
Its eerily quite, had to go to the chemist in our small town. only 2 cars, all stores but 2 mini supermarkets closed.
But overall it seems to be working: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/new-zealand/
If you go to the daily updates and click source you can see the details of testing and tracking.

I saw a video of some woman saying she is going to gather with her congregation whenever she wants because, "I have the blood of Jesus on my hands."
I suppose that means she's already killed one person, so why not more?
These people are nuts and that's gonna get a lot of people killed, especially in her congregation.

There really needs to be a way off separating these idiots out when they turn up at the hospital!!

We've got lots.
Maybe eliminating a lot of the more stupid among us will leave us better prepared for the next one.
Doesn't someone have a law about that?

If you think about all the safety laws that have been enacted to prevent the Darwin Awardees from killing themselves
- or -
About all the advances in science and medicine that have helped the Darwin Awardees live longer lives
The Intellectuals who made the world a safer and better place for Darwin Awardees have prolonged the life of countless of their kind and allowed them to procreate, increasing their numbers.
And those Darwin Awardees are now paying the generous and compassionate Intellectuals back by supporting
- Authoritarianism
- Fascism
- Totalitarianism
- Dictators for life
and other forms of government and leadership the Intellectuals who saved their lives would never have thought to support or nurture.
Sometimes it doesn't pay to have a heart.
