Like I posted before NASA is concerned about my health cause a model test of a rocket going to one of the moons of Saturn that will not even launch for probably 4 to 5 years is more important. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brad1 Posted March 18, 2020 Author Share Posted March 18, 2020 (edited) It's times like this that I'm glad I am a musician. Music is a big help for me right now. And since I have the time, I will be spending a lot of that time playing, writing, playing, recording, and playing.

G Mac Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Like all of you, things are borderline crazy in the Southeastern U.S. where I am. Same story with the stores and all else. As a working musician, my income has disappeared...cancelled shows and lessons. I'll certainly have time to practice which is always a plus! I will keep you all in my prayers and I hope that we all make it to the other side of this mess. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rct Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Lost the end of March gig, all of April and May. Drummer is trauma nurse, operating room stuff, so we have to use his schedule because of the state of emergency his hours are all fluxored up. Weird. rct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Pepper Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Going in for 8 today. I am an electrician and we are shutting down our electrical gear for the wind tunnel and teleworking after that till the zombies subside. How can I twist wires together from home? Authorized to bring my work computer home as I have to stick my CAC Card (Common Access Card) in a slot to read the chip to log on, just like when I was in The Coast Guard.

I did it the day I retired from the USCG (then I got a blue one with commissary and exchange access for life) and it took me a few years to get a job that need another one. They even gave ME a secret clearance. A 40 something year old wind tunnel that you can go to wiki and look up anything about it online. Silly. Edited March 19, 2020 by Sgt.

Black Dog Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 I work for a large health care system in urgent care. Front lines for this crisis. We had an outbreak at a local facility. Paradoxically, patient volumes are down. That's good news, people are getting the message and staying home. Now that testing is more available and widespread, the numbers are going to climb fast just because more people are being tested. One of the problems is that most Covid-19 infections are mild so people don't seek care or testing which is fine, but it tends to give misleading information on mortality (death rate) because we only have actual test positive cases in the denominator. When they calculate mortality for Influenza, they use complex computer models to estimate the total number of cases so you can't really compare the two rates. The actual numbers of Covid-19 infections are probably at least 10 times greater than the positive test cases. Anyway, the social and business shut downs should help stop the spread. I think that most of this is way overblown. If all sick people would just stay home that would probably be enough. In China, they are not reporting any new cases in Wuhan, that's very good news, if true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rct Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 When I was his age it was a different disease, but I remember how powerful I was. Nothing was going to stop us, and nothing is going to stop him. I am happy for the short time he will feel like this and I hope he is as lucky as I was through my young 20's. rct 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man I wanted to eat crab legs till I pop. Lol. They might be hard to come by. All the all you can eat joints are closed. But they might still have curbside pickup. That’d be a b!tch bein at the beach with no seafood. You could always use my fishing rods. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
