Pandemic times...

[bbwvfan]

I don’t know what all of my WVU brothers are going through. I imagine we are all going through something similar. I am worried about my business... I’m worried about my employees... I am worried about my ability to stay out of financial ruin. I’m worried about how my staff will get through this period. And tonight, I am letting each of you know... I’m thinking about you.

I wish we were talking about how WVU looked in the Big 12 tournament... how far we thought WVU could go in the tourney.

I wish we could argue about whether Huggins needed to be fired. Whether he needed to fire some of his assistant coaches.

I wish we could argue about the cupboard Dana left for Neal. About the cupboard Billy left for Dana.

I miss all of those things tonight. I hope y’all get through this time without anything devastating happening to you... a family member... or someone you’re close to.

Prayers and thoughts to you all...

I feel the same, My business slowed three weeks ago, blessed that I have a few weeks of back log. Still getting a few customers in every day, bringing in anyone who calls without an appointment, trying to make the back log last as long as I can. Think this stuff is over hyped, H1N1 killed over 12k in the U.S. there was not all this shutdown shit going on.

I've been extra busy because of this. I'm a retail butcher, so we're getting our asses handed to us. The panic seems to be slowing down, but still a lot more business for us than usual.

I have an appointment at Ruby later today to see a new specialist for a chronic condition. My current treatment has been ineffective, and in 4 months I have had major setbacks. I'm thankful they didn't cancel.

It's pretty creepy out there. Town is empty, stores wiped out of essentials... I feel like we're in an episode of "The Walking Dead".

I think it's over-hyped too, but I understand what the CDC is doing. We're not stopping it, but slowing it down so that medical personnel have enough staff to respond.

When I saw Ohio and PA closing down everything, my first thought was for everyone who's finances were going to be left in ruin. Health is great, but if you're homeless... My best to all of you. Keep your heads up and hope you all make it through intact. That way we can resume arguing about Stew vs. DH vs. HCNB

This Coronavirus is more like the Spanish Flu breakout of 1918 than the Swine Flu of 2009.

When you look back at the Swine Flu in the US, over a 1 year period... from April '09 to April '10 we had nearly 12,500 deaths. It ended with a mortality rate of about 0.02%

We won't know our numbers for quite some time. We're testing more people now since more tests are available. So, we're closer to understanding what percentage of our population is contracting the virus. But, at this time... we know the coronavirus is more contagious than swine flu was.

Based on recent numbers, worldwide we're seeing a 4% mortality rate.

In our country, 10,919 confirmed cases and 163 deaths. This is a mortality rate of 1.5%.

As I'm a healthcare provider, I support the measures taken. I'm hoping we've done enough to be honest...

We are all but shut down right now, I have a skeleton crew working on maintaining equipment, one man per piece of equipment. We have no $ coming in, and are worried about the future for sure if this lasts months rather than weeks. I am concerned for my folks and the elderly folks at our church, as it seems to be really hard on older people.
I too wish we were having a heated discussion about WVU sports!!! I have been in constant prayer since this started, became really real for me last Sunday, I was in Mississippi for two weeks for work, everything was as normal, I got home late Saturday night, and by Sunday afternoon the containment measures were being put into place in Ohio. I know several of our regulars on here have some health issues that they deal with, and they are in my prayers as well!!
May God's hand of peace and protection be upon each of you!!

I’ve attempted to figure out what I would do if I was placed in a situation like bb or Mike, having to make decisions on who to lay-off or release. Definite strange times.

I was traveling for work in the earlier part of the week in northeastern NC and southeastern VA. While PA wasn’t too far behind OH in starting to shut everything down, I was already in NC when my company started scaling back travel. It was strange to see how different areas of the country are reacting to the virus. I was in Suffolk and was able to eat inside a Panera Bread. The had spacing between the tables and I was entertained watching 3 guys playing Yahtzee. My hotel was sparsely occupied. Reminded me of a scene out of the Shining. As I walked down the hallway, I just knew those 2 twin girls were going to pop out.

My youngest son and I were able to grab a table at a restaurant in Richmond for lunch, as my afternoon customer canceled due to a change in their visitor’s policy. This restaurant was only allowing 10 people in at a time to sit down and eat. It was worth the “risk” as I haven’t seen him for about 9 months.

I wish everyone and your family nothing but good health. I have a 80+ year old Aunt in northern Italy that I worry about. We talk every week since my Mother passed back in August of 2018. Enjoy your family as it is a shame that it took something like this to bring families together.

I’ll start it, Bobby needs to step down but we can discuss when we are all in a better place. Take care everyone.

So on Thursday I saw my new Doc, and he told me that he was going to wait on changing my treatment since I am high risk for Coronavirus. He also tested me for corona, which I am still waiting for the results of. Not because I show signs of it, but because I'm high risk.

I'm doing all I can to lessen my likelyhood of getting sick. I've even shaved for the first time in nearly a decade! I hope you're all doing well, and stay safe.

Huggins won the NC this year because we got cornona last. So we would have been the last team playing! lol!

 

[Slaton10]

Welll my work...we are still fighting the good fight...65% of my staff now furloughed...still trying to figure out how to keep the team that is working productive...I don't believe in no win situations...so I am not going to quit until a figure out a way out of this!!!

Good luck, Slaton. Fight the good fight but don’t forget your health. Going to be needed when this turns around.

We’ve been trying to support local restaurants in the area by ordering takeout. Wife had her nails, eyelashes, and hair-did even though our trip to a Dallas wedding was canceled. Not sure how much more we can do since Allegheny County is approaching more shutdowns.

Hope all goes well.

So far so good. But I miss my goatee.

We should be talking about our sweet sixteen match up.

In Western MD, things have slowed to a crawl. Watching more traffic than usual due to people who are using the vacation housing at Deep Creek Lake.

I was on vacation from the 3rd to the 12th. I returned to a different world. Made it 12 days without symptoms after my air flight. Scary watching this unfold from the other side of the country. I would have driven home if my car rental company would have had a drop off location near Pittsburgh, but ended up taking the risk to fly.

I can survive a month of quarantine and keep my employees paid for at least another month. Keeping the office open, but have restricted appointments to the necessary. In some ways, I am enjoying the break and a slower pace of life.

However, I have questions that I want answered:

Will we have football this year?

Will Oscar return?

Will they give the seniors another year?

Will we ever get back to the old normal?

Wishing all of you guys the best. stay safe.

I know it is. My wife is from SC. My brother in law called last night, asking me to send her down because he's lonely.

So the pandemic actually started in SC by Game Suck Cock fans. Good to know. Guess that’s what you resort to when you’re the #2 College in the State.
