I hope it’s good news, but I think it needs to be tested (or used) more and see more results before we start celebrating. But certainly encouraging.

Hit the wine/beer/liquor store, build a fire, drink, get a good book, take long walks, drink, take some pictures of Swallow Falls, skip stones on the lake, drink, repeat.

I hope that there was supposed to be a winky face attached to this!

Ugh. Plenty of fluids and rest. Also, if possible, Tylenol over ibuprofen for the fever. Sorry you’re sick and keep us posted.

Did you see that the some areas of San Francisco beginning tomorrow will be sheltering in place?

I’m hoping that they don’t curtail outdoor activities. It’s pretty quiet on the roads so a good time for riding. Alone, of course.

Unrelated, but I was bartending at Nepenthe Brewery in Baltimore a couple weeks ago and a guy was wearing one of your sweatshirts. He had recently been to your Main Street brewery and we had a nice conversation about how good your beers are, but he wasn’t aware of any expansion plans. I know you’ve opened the new brewery site, but I also thought you mentioned possible expansion. Then I read this great article: https://brilliantstream.com/2019/04/stumptown-ales-settles-down/ The article is about a year old, so just wondering if expansion to another site is on the table. eta: did a search on Airbnb and nice pad over the brewery!

With banks getting zero interest, why not just offer no mortgage payments for a month or two with no penalty, and simply add a month or two to the end of the mortgage.

No worries. Hopefully you and your crew continue to get work, especially since I’d assume most of your work is likely outdoors. But there’s no doubt that this is going to be incredibly hard on the majority of Americans. If nothing else, it’s made me appreciate even more that in spite of our differences around the globe, it’s a remarkably small world.

The most disappointing part to me is that there may be a lot of people that agree with the statement and fill the places. Hopefully I’m wrong.

No doubt this will be tough on you and your crew. Just wondering though, there’s no restriction on you working, is there?

I think you and @leesburg 04 have common careers.

I’m sure you know that I’m kidding. Restocking and cleaning a Walmart is not a job I’d want. Kudos to those that do.

They clean Walmart’s?

The St. Paddy Day bar scenes in NYC (and other big cities) this weekend may have a big impact on numbers in the next week or two there. This is going to be a long road and it’s going to be several weeks before some of the complacent start considering that they may have been wrong. There is still a part of me that hopes we look back on this in six months and there is a large contingency of peeps that say, “See?!? You alarmists were wrong!” But unfortunately, I think we are breezing past that point pretty quickly.

I watched the Caps beat the Islanders last night after being down 4-0 from last month. I was still cheering.

Hopefully it won’t be long before someone in the tv sports industry with some pull decides to play an old ncaa tournament in its entirety as if in real time.

I’m glad that you’re feeling better, though I think it’s absurd that you weren’t tested. Hopefully it was something else, but either way, really glad to hear that you’re on the mend.

Holy heck. I just got a mosquito bite! We are all worried about Covid 19 and I get Ebola!

My last day as a teacher for awhile, so I took the opportunity to educate my students on the need to “flatten the curve.” Not one of them admitted to knowing what the term meant beforehand, but after our discussion, all agreed that in spite that their chances of serious illness is slim, they should do all they can to avoid getting it.

Similar symptoms? https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/12/health/coronavirus-survivor-elizabeth-schneider/index.html Also, this is good news. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-03-13/roche-gets-clearance-for-coronavirus-test-that-s-10-times-faster

I think things will steady once the initial panic blows over, and then gradually rise during the second half of the year, especially after the November election. Once a vaccine is developed a year or two from now, things will rebound very quickly. That's my hope anyway because my plan is to "retire" in 5 years. At least from what I currently do.

I did something similar to max out my Roth for 2019.

I’ve had that idiot on ignore since one of his earliest posts. If we all ignore him, problem solved.

Damn, man. Basketball is one thing, but this sucks! https://flyingdog.com/tasting-room-closed-recent-cdc-guidance/
