We have to deal with criminals and the virus at the same time. They also close down all the gun shops.

You don't want to deal with an armed recently released criminal do you?

Criminals with records cannot get firearms from law abiding gun shops. More like dealing with an armed criminals holding a kitchen knife.

Thanks for posting that. Very interesting. Always liked watching Mythbusters.

Inmates health is more important than the safety of law abiding citizens here in CA thanks to Gavin. We have to deal with criminals and the virus at the same time. They also close down all the gun shops.

Unfortunately true.
Where else better a place to prevent transmission of virus than in an isolated lock up. Keep them separated. No common areas and provide food to their cells.
Isn't that the same thing we are having to do within our homes? They are in for a reason. Much like I am out for the opposite reasons...

I understand, my comment was meant to be tongue in cheek. I should have put a smiley in there.

Let's move the quarantine situation ahead a few months. Last summer we rented an Airbnb on a lake up north. We want to do the same again this year but won't that expose us to possible community spread from the people that used the cabin before us? How long before all is safe again?

Yikes, +19k new cases today. Buckle up boys & girls.

Mortality rate in Italy is creeping up to 11%...

Mortality rate in Italy is creeping up to 11%...

If what I'm reading is right, they are mainly testing people with the more severe symptoms, not the more mild cases that may be corona (the more survivable cases)
So, if true, that would skew the mortality rate.
Scary regardless.

@blown motor - Nobody really knows....but from what is happening in China, I think we have 6 - 8 more weeks of lock down, but that is just a guess.  Of course if things go bad as China removes its restrictions, that will impact us and if things continue to go crazy in the U.S. that will likely impact us.

SO in the end, its wait and see.

As morbid as it sounds, I've been watching the "death count" and how fast it's rising...USA is now in fourth place already, passing Iran and France which were supposed to be some of the worst hit areas....


USA is up to 2810 already in just a couple of weeks or so.....so I sure hope this social distancing starts to work pretty soon....


Canada is sitting at 70 or one in every 500K Canadians
