And some P100 cartridges, full tyvek, gloves and booties.

I think I'll suit up next time...

I've got P95 filters. Think I should change up to P100?

HaHa, no N95 masks available in my little town in Montana, but I just bought a dozen 3M P100's and 3 sets of P100 filters for my 3M Quick latch facepiece from the auto paint store. Total cost was under $20 :-)

People need to wake up and be very, very afraid of government overreach that is already happening and what is now being floated as a suggestion. This ass Fauci and some others are saying their needs to be a government ID card issued showing "virus free status" and technology to track individuals. Trump is letting him and too many others exert control over policy. It's frightening that so many people would even consider this and are ready to give up freedoms that men and women fought for and died to keep.

nother nearly half a million people between 45 and 65, their positivity rate is 21 percent.

Another nearly 200,000 between 65 and 85, 22 percent positive.

I'm glad the experts are finally moving away from these incredibly flawed models and on to actual stats when it comes to decision making. However, like everything else we seem to be handed, the 'stats' above don't tell much of the story. The key question left unanswered by these stats is, of those testing positive, how many ended up asymptomatic and/or showed symptom and recovered with any hospitalization? Probably none since most of the testing is only occurring for those showing symptoms and likely headed for hospitalization. I've seen absolutely nothing posted online that gives me any insight into where data is being compiled for everyone taking a test at private testing centers/locations. There's an enormous gaping hole in our data and/or understanding of the virus in that we really don't know how many total people have been infected, and how many total have recovered from it without any real medical assistance. That's the wildcard and IMO the most important piece of data associated with deciding how and when the country is reopened.

Baptist church members given $500 tickets for listening to church service in their cars via radio in parking lot

Members of a Baptist church were given $500 tickets by local authorities for sitting in their cars in the church parking lot listening to a sermon from their pastor on the radio during the coronavirus pandemic.

The lot at Temple Baptist Church in Greenville, Mississippi, was full of parishioners Wednesday night gathered in their parked vehicles to listen to pastor Arthur Scott give a sermon via a lower-power FM frequency radio, according to Delta Democrat-Times.

That’s when police officers arrived and started handing out $500 tickets to people who didn’t disperse in adherence to social distancing guidelines.

“The police were respectful and just doing their job,” church member Lee Gordon said. “They asked us to leave first, and those who stayed got a ticket.”

Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves issued a shelter-in-place order on April 3 that was followed by an executive order from Greenville’s mayor on Tuesday, mandating all church buildings close for both in-person and drive-in church services and encouraging churches to use other means to communicate.

Church members were told they were in violation of that order despite sitting in their cars.

“The preacher is in the church at the pulpit, and we are streaming the service live as well,” Gordon said. “But a lot of our membership is elderly and doesn’t have access (to technology needed to stream the service).”

Gordon added that he doesn’t believe the tickets were issued to send a message and believes the church service will be held again on Easter Sunday.

“I think somebody called the police,” Gordon said. “And we were just doing the same thing we’ve been doing the last three weeks.”

In Kansas, a legal battle is unfolding as Republicans in the state have pushed back against the Democrat governor’s effort to close churches during the coronavirus pandemic.

Reports have surfaced throughout the United States of pastors and parishioners defying stay-at-home orders to worship with their communities.

Maybe a simple mark on your forehead?

In regard to the vented patients increased rate of death.

(Definitely correct me if I’m wrong with the above statement)

Are they dying because they’re on a vent?

Or are they dying because they have more severe symptoms aka. Got it bad...(which would explain the vent to give them a hand breathing).

Kinda like a yellow star on your coat?

That ain’t gonna happen...

And that is a hill I’m willing to die on.

Never again.

Why step on civil liberties when you can use a steamroller?

Senator Tom Cotton is saying that China in January shut down all domestic air travel from Wuhan to prevent the spread to other large cities in China but continued to allow international flights to leave daily to all parts of the globe.

This treachery must not go unanswered.

(Shaking his head) If the whole megillah still looks to be over by June, is there even time for the government to get an ID card program up and running, much less test people before issuing them cards?

There's just no way that I would ever accept- much less carry- a government ID card declaring me to be cootie-free.

And I know that I am very far from alone.

If you penned that Para you should submit it for publication somewhere even bigger than Sigforum.

Like I said previously, we are witnessing the biggest political power grab in our lifetimes.

I would love to see massive pushback against these mini-tyrants. I want to see the look on these governors' faces--Murphy, Wolf, Whitmer, Beshear--when they realize the citizens of their states are finished listening to them. I want them to have that look of disbelief like Nicolae Ceaușescu on that balcony four days before he was executed. All these leftist governors, wannabe dictators.

Listen, I’m no one. A retired cop who had a stroke.
I’m a Christian, I believe in Jesus, but my grandfather was a Jew. He survived the war because his family had the foresight to leave Eastern Europe after WWI. I will not have my family herded into any thing, any where.

Because of my police training I have, maybe one notch above the normal citizen’s level of knowledge about rights. But I know that writing tickets to people in a parking lot outside of a church is wrong. “Just following orders” was the excuse some nazis gave, and they deserved the noose.

When I was a cop I prided myself in using my common sense. And more people need to exercise theirs.

This sitting in houses is wrong. Period. And the government telling us to do it is wrong too.

The people threatened by this virus should sequester themselves. The rest of us should be able to go about our business. And get this country back into business. In a month the old folks can come out and be safe.
