Fuck, I wish Beto ran against him instead of fucking off to be President.

"Greenland does not have any cases of COVID-19 at the moment but in a preemptive move on the 13th March the Danish Government closed off the borders to non-Danish citizens who do not have a recognized purpose for entering the Danish Realm including Greenland and the Faroe Islands." -Visitgreenland
Game over, man. Oh, wait., Danish citizens can still travel there. Craaaaaap.
Trump tests negative, according to doctor!
Of course he could only be in the incubation period, but at least that means he's not been spreading it.

*shrug* Wait a week and see.
You can't cut down trees or drill for gas or put up buildings from the safety of your home office. Those are the majority of our guests. You can't manage keys, give out towels and bed linen, clean rooms, or maintain the physical security of the property from the comfort of your living room couch. That's staff. Work from home isn't a viable option for non-management.
If they CLOSE EVERYTHING like the celebrities are demanding, where are these people going to eat? We definitely can't feed everyone staying here.

No one can deliver if the restaurants are all closed.
Delivery and take out are stil allowed in most locations where restaurant bans are active. The point is to avoid gathering, not to keep people from eating.
Went to the local Weis grocery at opening time again. Best way to limit contact--usually only 2-3 people in the store at that time. I have about 10 lbs of flour, but I needed yeast. The store was still destroyed. And, of course, no yeast.
So, I decided to hit the larger town to the south of me and go to Harris Teeter. It's normally 24 hours, but they'd made an announcement yesterday that all 24 hour HTs would be closing at 9 and reopening at 6, to give the store a chance to restock.
Got there an hour after opening. It was amazing! It was like there was no run on groceries at all. They had everything...water, clorox/lysol wipes. Toilet paper. I didn't check for hand sanitizer, and I didn't buy any of those other things, because I didn't need them. But they also had yeast. So I got 2 jars

There's absolutely no supply problem. The empty shelves are pretty much just because people are panic-buying and stores can't restock fast enough.Went to the local Weis grocery at opening time again.

It was just in the news right now. The german government confirmed that Trump tries to get exclusive rights from the german company CureVac.
I can't speak for every type of restaurant, but a large amount of Chinese restaurants solely exist on the money they bring in through takeout. There are a ton around here that might only have 3 tables in the place, and the tables are almost always empty, but they're doing more business than the sitdown places around them. I should add that this is pre-Coronavirus, not just recently.

They told him to fuck off, right?
Can someone enlighten me on the wisdom of ordering in right now? I thought we were concerned about restaurant staff going in and carrying or being sick. They have to make the food. Someone has to package it, deliver it. Why is this considered still okay?
I genuinely want to know because I've been dying for the spicy Korean chicken place that opened recently and only got to order it once before all this started.
Yeah the popularity of doordash and whatnot definitley are a factor in this. I guess we'll see how it is now that they're being tested as much as possible.

While less ideal than being a total shut-in, it is better than going to a restaurant and sitting at a table in close proximity to a bunch of other people doing the same.
The German scientist who founded the company fired the American CEO for meeting with the American president and discussing the possibility of exclusivity.
The main worry is customers transmitting to one another: one asymptomatic or still in incubation period, can make 40-50 people sick.
Kitchen staff and delivery personnel should always be wearing hair nets etc anyway, and now obviously should be wearing gloves and practising prefect hygiene. Here in Belgium, for example, cash on delivery is strongly discouraged - please pay once the internet if possible so delivery can be done without interaction.
This should limit spread of infection as much as possible.
GFS usually has bricks of Safe-T for a reasonable price. And they last a good long time.they also had yeast. So I got 2 jars

I'll probably stick to being a total shut-in then much as I can. Boss is still deciding. I have a feeling he'll continue deciding until the decision is taken from him.
Got a message yesterday from my school district that we are reporting on monday as usual. However, language in the message says that there will be further communications going out about closure info, so things could change, I don't really know.
I was gonna hit Giant next if Harris Teeter didn't have it. Harris Teeter was just 2 blocks closer. The jars have a 2 year shelf life, or 6 months after opening.
And with these cases came the expected tightening. School now closed for 3 weeks, tightening of self isolations, almost mandatory work fro home.
