Dan Gould Posted April 1, 2020 Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 Figured I should maybe plan on a monthly repeat of the poll until we're out of this ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted April 1, 2020 Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 Now that the President and the medical experts have warned that the next two weeks will be bad, I think hoarding is taking place again so people don’t have to leave their house. As an example, we were at BJs on Monday and, among other things, we purchased a couple of extra cases of cat food. She went online this morning to see about buying some more and it was all gone, not to mention paper towels and the like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medjuck Posted April 1, 2020 Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 That's strange. I voted and said that I knew someone who was severely ill but when I checked the results it said no one had said that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted April 1, 2020 Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 Totally adjusted to telecommuting, carry-out/curbside etc.. no panic in the area at this time, fingers crossed...we "moved inside" a bit before things really started getting spiky. One positive thing that I've realized from my corporate gig is this - business continuity. We very much stress having not just a Plan A and a possible Plan B, but a workable, proven Plan B, and ideally, a Plan C, etc., as deep as possible. That kind of fits in with my general lifestyle anyway (Just as "a country boy can survive", a jazz musician CAN improvise!). so..."business continuity" is not just for corporate business, it's for LIFE business. You make sure you know the realities (including the cluelessness of others and the dangers inherent therein), make you know what and where all the options are, and then...you do your best in every way unless and until you can't. And if that happens, you're fucked. But nothing is guaranteed in this life, right? So we're good here, for now. Saying my fingers and crossing my prayers for going forth. 16 minutes ago, medjuck said: That's strange.

JSngry Posted April 1, 2020 Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 You should be able to vote until you actually submit...if not, let us know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted April 1, 2020 Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 Hmmmm...at face value, that would seem to indicate that you might have voted w/o intending to. I'll start a new poll to test that for everybody. Ok, try this: Make sure you look at before and after, all of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardbopjazz Posted April 1, 2020 Report Share Posted April 1, 2020 I’ve been telecommuting ever since post 9/11. My work involves the stock market and all the money banks invest. I’ve been extremely busy as a result of the volume of the markets. this pandemic isn’t going to go away anytime soon. China had started to lighten up the restrictions. Today china reported 1300 new cases. That’s just one day. A vaccines is going to be needed to eliminate this surreal nightmare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felser Posted April 7, 2020 Report Share Posted April 7, 2020 Time to change my response to question #3. A guy I've had a meaningful friendship with ver the past 20 years (though no recent contact) has it, is in intensive care, and his prognosis is not good. And the expectation is that his wife will also test positive. And they are in their mid-late 40's. He does good, meaningful counseling work that helps a lot of people, and this hits like a sledgehammer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted April 9, 2020 Report Share Posted April 9, 2020 My sister just called me. My cousin Micky, who was my Mother’s first cousin, passed away from the Coronavirus; I’d guess she was around 90 and they lived in Long Island. Unfortunately, her husband Bruce, who has a great sense of humor, is showing signs of the disease . The only person now left from that generation is her sister who now lives in Arizona.
