Of course did the Breaking Bad/ Better Call Saul/ Camino thing, repeating old BB I'd often forgotten. All must-see. Interspersed with The Office episodes for relief. Unorthodox was ok. So far avoiding The Crown and Ozark. Peaky Blinders is the best long series I've found. I have to turn the English subtitles on though because it's often hard to understand Bummingham much less Irish Gaelic. (and boy was Churchill an s.o.b.). Huge hack: If you get a cheap VPN (AVG from NewEgg) you can locate in Europe to a non-P2P city which avoids all the US licensing rules giving extra free seasons of shows on Netflix. Your Netflix log-in signs you into Netflix Europe automatically (after not believing you a time or two). It also gives many more language and subtitle choices (European). Plus many more choices. Of course you're doing this to protect your privacy, not to avoid copyright and licensing laws.

Newsom's closing of Orange County beaches just pushed people onto the sidewalk and bikepath by the beach. Evidently there's no mask requirement in public and this is worse than before.

Are others seeing a rapid breakdown in Amazon? What was 2-day (and becoming 1-day) has become a minimum of 2 weeks to even get on the Amazon truck on about 20 things I've ordered directly from Amazon the past couple weeks. I also saw a video online of someone at a FedEx Ground distribution center where a truckload of boxes was on the ground outside and someone said they would not be sorted for two weeks. If warehouses/fulfillment centers/distribution centers are breaking down this could get very painful fast right at the time we should be converting to more online orders. https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/m7qdwa/fedexs-ceo-says-its-protecting-workers-video-from-a-warehouse-tells-a-different-story https://www.houstonchronicle.com/business/article/coronavirus-amazon-fedex-ups-houston-workers-mail-15202321.php#photo-19300077 https://fox13now.com/2019/12/18/fedex-not-delivering-your-packages-customers-say-delays-are-lasting-weeks/

The soon-approaching opening. In DC the smug young are chafing for the bars to reopen. [MEDIA=twitter]1256926404433846273[/MEDIA]

"America's Cassandra" says it will be years. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/02/opinion/sunday/coronavirus-prediction-laurie-garrett.html?action=click&module=Opinion&pgtype=Homepage pandemic experts say 2 years at least: https://www.cnn.com/videos/us/2020/05/01/pandemic-experts-sobering-warning-coronavirus-future-john-barry-marc-lipsitch-ebof-vpx.cnn/video/playlists/coronavirus/ and yesterday was America's highest death day yet.

DC has the best clients and that's #1.

It is a peculiarly American notion that we have a constitutional right or civil right or something not to wear a facemask to protect others in public during an epidemic. The way I see it is no one has a right to breathe their germs on me in public during an epidemic. Some people have their rights reversed.

You don't get evidence of upcoming food shortages. They happen. The evidence is meat processing plants are shutting down because of the coronavirus epidemic all over the midwest. Farm workers and other food processors and haulers are following. It will probably be a week or two before we see the effect. Other factory workers are also falling ill and refusing to work. To whatever extent the southwest is independent of the midwest prosessing plants you may be safer. I wish it weren't true that we're in for scarcity.

Whatever effect on the economy that is largely fixed by the government. But the extent of the infection is now not collapsing our healthcare system (except for non-coronavirus healthcare). Rather the extent of infection, not the lockdown, is collapsing our food and materials supply chain.

Secrets in DC announced yesterday they are closed for good. RIP Atlanta and Dallas will probably open first. Both have new Johnsons branches.

Unfortunately they're about to start running out of food.

It's more than that. If there are extra orders it might cause 2 days to go to 3 etc but to go to 2 weeks now to even get the item picked off the shelf in the fulfillment center means something is seriously bad in those warehouses. I noticed NewEgg has stretched from 1 day to 1 week now too to ship.

Flattening the curve made all the sense in the world but as you say, an intent was not to overwhelm resources for other healthcare too. But the number of hospitalizations is shrinking and yet other healthcare seems to be on lockdown. I'm in Kaiser and was told my MD is not working except from home by video and if something seems serious I should go to Urgent Care. Only video appointments and urgent care for all other health issues. A dermatology appointment I had scheduled for 3 months was changed to video. I assume I can still get lab work and xrays. I hope. Doctors closing their offices and refusing to visit hospitals is a serious healthcare shortage that's ignored right now because people aren't sure which narrative it fits.

Those were really cheap Ikea sheets a looong time ago.

I think there are a lot of non-profit companies right now. (maybe not 501's)

Don't tag me as a WalMart shopper but I noticed (along with a friend) that they have plenty of hand sanitizer for $1.97 for 8oz bottles. Bought 10 bottles and half-used one up immediately because I was in a WalMart. (yes, this is the same WalMart a lady pepper-sprayed someone last week for trying to share an elevator with her).

One of Bernie's proposals was to pay for home assistance and care to age in place. People who owned their home would not have to sell it and go to a facility for long term care. That way they would have the best care possible in their own homes. That method would have saved many lives in this pandemic too.

I haven't seen any meat disappearing yet but it sure seems it's coming. https://www.yahoo.com/huffpost/iowa-sheriff-tyson-plant-covid-19-041018480.html

A week ago my packages were arriving from Amazon in about a week. But now it's become 2 weeks for various things I ordered, shipped by Amazon. 4 different orders from April 25 are scheduled for May 7 and May 8 delivery and have not shipped (from Amazon) yet. I think the warehouses/fulfillment centers are in more turmoil than they say. And they still say delivery is 1 or 2 days from shipping. So the trucks are going ok.
