I now fully expect to be under house arrest until next year at the very least. This asshole is determined to destroy Pennsylvania in order to ensure Trump does not win the state, which is crucial, it put him over the top in 2016.

The sense of despair about being able to do anything is growing.

FYI, Mainline independent schools are already talking about the distinct possibility that shithead won't let us back to school in the rest of 2020.

Imagine that: starting a school year with brand new children...online.

I have been ready to see Wolf hanging from a lamp post for a while, but that sense is growing ever stronger.

A lot of HR folks may suddenly become unnecessary as well, which would be a good thing in my opinion.

I just cannot understand how this can or will stand. It's become absolutely surreal now.

A 'Shocking' Two-Thirds Of Patients Recently Hospitalized In NY Had Been Staying Home
David K. Li, NBC News, 5/6/2020

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Wednsday that a survey showed that a "shocking" two-thirds of patients recently hospitalized for coronavirus became infected despite largely staying at home.

Hospitals were asked to document where their most recent COVID-19 patients had been staying before admission, Cuomo said, and 66 percent came from their own homes.

About 18 percent came from nursing homes, 4 percent from assisted-living facilities, 2 percent were homeless, 2 percent had been at other "congregate" settings, fewer than 1 percent were prison or jail inmates, and 8 percent were classified as "other".

"This is a surprise," the governor told reporters at the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research in Manhasset, New York. "Sixty-six percent of the people were at home, which is shocking to us."

The data came from 113 hospitals reporting information on patients being treated over three recent days, according to state health officials.

"They're not working, they're not traveling," Cuomo said of these recently hospitalized coronavirus patients. "We were thinking that maybe we were going to find a higher percentage of essential employees who were getting sick because they were going to work - that these may be nurses, doctors, transit workers. That's not the case. They were predominantly at home."

The state also reported that among these recently hospitalized patients, only 17 percent are currently employed, while 37 percent are retirees and 46 percent are unemployed.

"The largest group of us are still at home, so it's not surprising that the largest source (of recent hospitalizations) are people at home," Kumi Smith, a professor of epidemiology at the University of Minnesota, told NBC News.

"But if it turns out, it's (coronavirus) still getting into a lot of homes (of non-frontline workers), that then that percentage is interesting, it's troubling."

Gov. Cuomo said "personal behavior" could be an ultimate factor in staying safe from the virus.

"Much of this comes down to what you do to protect yourself," Cuomo said.

"Everything is closed down. Government has done everything it could. Society has done everything it could. Now, it's up to you. Are you wearing a mask? Are you doing the hand sanitizer? If you have younger people who are visiting you and may be out there and may be less diligent with ther social distancing. (sic - IC] Are you staying away from older people?"

At least another 232 New York State residents died in the past 24 hours from causes connected with COVID-19, Cuomo said, bringing the state's coronavirus death roll (again, sic - IC) total to more than 19,877.

I would expect the policy to be reversed in time, but I can see how the military forces don’t want a bunch of people who can’t pass the PT test a year from now and who will be blaming it on COVID-19. <snip>

The past two trips to Aldi and their meat section was stripped bare and closed off except for a few stray packs of sausage. Now seeing reports of people paying $7 and higher A POUND for ground beef when they can even find it.

Ironically that same Aldi had a ton of toilet paper, something I’ve not seen since mid March.

How are the grocery stores stocked? My parents will be going up at the end of the month. My wife and 2 of our kids will be flying up June 4 while my eldest and I will be driving up the same day. We'll be going to our houses (parents' and ours on 20 acres) on Lake Huron between Rogers City and Cheboygan.
