This most definitely was not good opsec in these times of food shortages !<br />Finally lured him into a trap with chicken cocaine (cracked corn). So now at least his early calling is much less noticable in the coop surrounded by his hens.

But I can say this, my facilty went into "precaution" mode on the 9th, on the 14th we had our first confirmed case. Then we ramped WAY up into full infection control protocol. I wont bore you with the details but its a pretty hard core lockdown. By the middle of this week we had 9 positive cases and another 22 under quarantine waiting for testing or test results. To go from Zero cases to (potentially) 30 in less than 2 weeks, while observing very strict isolation and infection control protocols? Im no doctor or scientist, but to the laymen seeing this unfold in real time right before our eyes...Lets just say a LOT of us are seriously questioning our career choices right now. I figure, Ive survived 51 winters so far, I've had a good run. But Im shi++ing bricks every night that Im going to bring this crap home to my wife and/or daughter. At the start of this I was one of the biggest naysayers in the joint, now...it's literally keeping me up at night. Stay healthy and keep washing.

Tens of thousand are probably not going back to work very soon, or ever again.

Many will blow past benefits limits and never recover jobs or economic footing worse than the last rape-recession session. Spicy times on the way. Stay frostier.

The refrain that keeps popping up in my head - "When you've got nothing, you've got nothing to lose"...Don't recall who coined it, some dirty hippie back in the day. But you can apply the sentiment to either side- the banker/political faction OR the citizens. If the .gov even suspects for a minute they've got real trouble on their hands you can bet (your last jelly filled donut) they will pull out ALL the stops to crush dissent and/or save their own asses. The proles, at least the lazy, stupid, unprepared and/or criminally inclined will resort to things they never imagined once the bellies start to rumble and no hope looms on the horizon. Unfortunately, I believe the citizens will unleash hell on each other in the name of survival. As much as a Lamp Post party might make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside, its not going to stop the hunger pangs. And it wouldnt change anything anyway, its far too late for that. I fear the unwashed masses feeding on each other, both figuratively and literally. <br />Maybe its just my proximity to the Front Lines of this crisis (health care related job in Cali bay area), but I think we've only just begun. The ugliness to come will make these last couple weeks seem like a little girl's tea party.<br />I hope I'm horribly,HORRIBLY wrong. Chins up Minions! One foot in front of the other, do the best you can with what you've got to work with.
