Are you at least some distance away from the city?

Long Island, so the city is partially on the island. Not sure but I’m pretty sure it’s one of the most densely populated places in the US.

We are talking high precautions. Taking clothes off in the garage, shower immediately, only leave for groceries, etc. My mother in-law who we live with is high risk.

I have a question to the Docs in the house. I live alone and its at the lake so social distancing hasn't been a problem. My question is, do I still need to wash my hands continually since I am alone? I initially wiped all the surfaces I could get to with Lysol wipes and have been using hand sanitizer as well as washing hands just not sure if I need to continue w hand washing often?

Not a doctor, but I read a study saying how takeout was safe because any virus particles that may be left on your food would be killed by your stomach acid. So, in line with that thinking, the virus shouldn't be able to enter your body by unwashed hands to your mouth. Plus, the virus can't live on hands for more than 10 mins or so. I think if you aren't in a position to breathe in the particles, you should be fine.

My wife and I are having quite the movie marathon. Have watched Gladiator, Braveheart, and Shawshank Redemption over the last 3 days. Might watch The Godfather tonight. She’s never seen any of these movies. What other classics should we watch?

Watch Radio.

She’ll think it’s about you.

You should love it. Tom Hanks at his most powerful, Paul Newman’s last performance but left us not missing a beat. Beautifully shot, great music score. I don’t watch many movies repeatedly anymore but this one gets dusted off from time to time.

I rewatched the 4th quarter of the Mississippi State game last night. Pretty impressive if you put it into context...., being 1-4 etc

Had a 13-3 lead. Surrendered a first down on a 4th and 5. Gave up a TD to bring MSU to within 3 points (after they’d been lifeless all afternoon). Got the ball back with 8:30 to go and tasked with having to drain the clock when it looked like MSU had momentum.

Ty Chandler and Tim Jordan ran hard through some poor MSU tackling attempts and got us to midfield. We kind of stalled and faced a third and long with 4 minutes left. MSU had it covered well but JG scanned the field and found Jordan in the flat who got the first. Two plays later we iced the win with a pass to Byrd, aided by impressive downfield blocking by two freshman receivers.

There were a lot of opportunities to lose that game. Probably one of those character building wins.

Multiplicity, lucky number Sleven, desperado, the 13th warrior, man on fire, second hand lions, ready to rumble, loan star state of mind. Some movies that I like.

I'll throw in Life is Beautiful and Apocalypse Now. 2 completely different views on living amongst chaos and how it can be handled...or mishandled.

presently, it looks foolish now to hear stories of anyone having turned down some of these supplies however many years ago....but i would imagine that if these officials would have spent taxpayer money on that extra inventory, there'd of been criticism of that as well. for the private hospitals and other medical industry private service providers, as mentioned earlier, many of these items are purchased and stored based on current use rates, relative lead times and costs/unit, and many are considered "overhead", and they're trying to keep those costs as consitstently stable as possible....and i doubt their respective boards of trustees would be approving large capital expenditures for the sole purpose of creating inventory.....when your goal is to keep inventory levels as low as possible and still meet the demand for use. i would imagine that many products have been moved to a JIT cycle to reduce inventory even more....if not eliminate it all together.

this virus is a ginormous exception to the rule....and i don't see how anyone could plan for something like this, so while im really frustrated my wife is having to re-use her 1 mask, and still has no face sheild or goggles, i understand how/why we got here....and it's not really anyone's fault, from a supply standpoint. even if there were "emergency" inventory, i would bet that it would fall short, probably by a wide margin still, of what is need RIGHT NOW across the country.

this is an opportunity for Amercian manufacturing to to step up and perform. it's happened in the past when called upon, and i'm sure it will again, and soon, we'll see these supplies going out....


this should be a very active week all the way around.....

Was thinking about this recently too. We have done so much implemention JiT and LEAN processes, it may have backfired during a complete anomaly such as this. Not that it makes it wrong and I don't expect companies to waste money having extra capacity and inventory going forward (without incentive or subsidy at least).

But the govt will either have to keep these resources in reserve, subsidize private to do so, or have a razor sharp plan on how to quickly produce it through a public-private partnership in times like this.

haven't been on in a couple of weeks--- so who do we think will be the new S&C coach? Apologize ahead of time --- I know this has probably been discussed greatly already...
