Just there is a spike of 35% for job posting in the health care field.

Prices dropped today in my area. 87 is 2.25, and 93 is 2.78.

I do remember the .20 a gallon gas, I had to walk to the gas station to fill up the gas cans for the mower.

87 is 1.65 here in KC, 91 is 2.25

Healthcare workers, even those in the front lines, don’t have adequate protection. Some nurses (my wife’s cousin included) in departments other than those highly dangerous area are told not to wear masks, and some even say wearing masks will be fired immediately for insubordination (even if mask is nurse’s own, not hospital stock).

Wifey is a radiologist specializing in breast imaging, so she doesn’t come into constant contacts with others unlike ER docs. We are lucky on that.

I work in a cardiology clinic and some of our Drs also work in the hospital. One of the receptionists at one of our remote sites said they've been asking for masks (we have them at our main office but not at the remotes). She said theyll walk out of they dont get them. I understand keeping a sense of calm... but comon, everyone knows what's going on and they need to protect the workers

Couldn't find the nice thermometer I got when I had heart surgery but did find an old 12" lab thermo out in the garage. Says my temp is 99F.

For now, I'm diagnosing allergies and not something more serious. Still going to stay isolated for a few days, just in case. Called the housekeeper and told her to stay away.

Did you put bubble gum on the end of that thermometer before you inserted it rectally? If you didn't chew on the bubble gum. Then it wasn't deep enough. So then you got a bad reading.

Some light hearted humour in an essentially sh1tty situation:

**************************
Due to the current upset situation caused by the Corona Virus in the
economy, the Government has decided to implement a scheme to put
workers of 50 years of age and above on early, mandatory retirement,
thus creating jobs and reducing unemployment.

This scheme will be known as RAPE (Retire Aged People Early).

Persons selected to be RAPED can apply to the Government to be
considered for the SHAFT program (Special Help After Forced
Termination).

Persons who have been RAPED and SHAFTED will be reviewed under the
SCREW program (System Covering Retired-Early Workers).

A person may be RAPED once, SHAFTED twice and SCREWED as many times as
the Government deems appropriate.

Persons who have been RAPED could get AIDS (Additional Income for
Dependents & Spouse) or HERPES (Half Earnings for Retired Personnel
Early Severance).

Obviously persons who have AIDS or HERPES will not be SHAFTED or
SCREWED any further by the Government.

Persons who are not RAPED and are staying on will receive as much sh1t
(Special High Intensity Training) as possible. The Government has
always prided themselves on the amount of sh1t they give our citizens.

Should you feel that you do not receive enough sh1t, please bring this
to the attention of your Congressman, who has been trained to give you
all the sh1t you can handle.

Sincerely,
The Committee for Economic Value of Individual Lives (E.V.I.L.)

PS - Due to recent budget cuts as well as current market conditions,
The Light at the End of the Tunnel has been turned off.

Get well SouthArk. Try drinking hot water fresh lemon juice sweetened by raw honey! It works to clear your throat and improve your immune system.

Update us of your condition. Said a little prayer for you. Even majority doest believe in it anymore.
