^^^^^^^^^^^^ I am seeing a lot of that. Coaxing them into seeing their family doctor might help. As I have stated earlier it has caused a mental health crisis for many in this country. The consequence is that many senior citizens are too afraid to go for their checkups and miss taking their meds. Worth a try. | |||

It was in an open top Kydex (type?) holster and the P250 has a very distinctive hammer that I’m familiar with because I have one. It only took a glance to identify it. Plus when I complimented the woman on her choice, she didn’t contradict me.  ► 6.4/93.6 “Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools, because they have to say something.” — Plato | |||

Polymer frame, looks like a 320, but is DAO so there's an obvious hammer cut out at the rear of the slide instead of the slide cap that holds the striker unit in.  Much easier to distinguish those two models at a glance than the 22x series guns. ---------------------------- Chuck Norris put the laughter in "manslaughter" Educating the youth of America, one declension at a time. | |||

I had to go to one of our plants last Thursday, after working from home since mid March. Just a day trip about 1.5 hours drive away. So this was my first chance to see how things are now: Restricted to one entrance. Doors have been converted to automatic opening after waving near a sensor. Front door security guard is in a plexiglas box. There is a table with surgical type masks in paper bags, so I grabbed one and put it on. He sent me on a cordoned off path to go see a safety guy in another plexiglass box. Safety guy asks several questions: have I had the virus, have I been in contact with anyone who has the virus, have a felt fever, loss of smell, headaches (yeah but not because of a virus), etc. Then there was a temperature scan from a fixed camera. Then I had to follow the path back the the guard, watch the normal plant safety video, and wait for the person I was there to see. So then we walked the entire plant looking for places to put "collaborative robots" that our senior management thinks are the greatest invention ever and somehow are immune to the normal rules of automation. Yeah, they don't need guarding and are safe around people (if implemented correctly. I lost the removable side shields for my Rx safety glasses a while ago so I had to wear the safeties that go over your street glasses. That's fun with the mask and the fogging. And then in the office area every other cube is blocked off. Lunch was pre-prepared box lunches, everyone sitting at separate tables. We were able to discuss our findings in a conference room at opposite sides of a conference table. Company rules, have to follow them, but really after that one day I'm OK with working from home until this is done. | |||

^^^^^^^^ You need to show senior managment some 1950s horror flicks where the robots take over. Senior managment is probably drooling over the potential savings. Robots make mistakes that people would never make. | |||

You will get news reports. Nothing really special though. It's illness affecting the entire globe, so you will get results in the search. So any random number will show results, think about how many cities, towns, counties, areas, states there are in the US, then think about the fact that there are 190 countries with all their various divisions. I guess the point of the exercise is to test your critical thinking skills? If you think it is interesting the combination of number of places and Google's algorithm gives these results you pass. If you run around like a chicken with his head cut off you fail. Jesse Sic Semper Tyrannis | |||

My wife has been running County WuFlu test sites for the last 2 months, outdoors. The first week with strong sunshine she came home with two light marks running forward from the top and bottom creases of her ears to a lighter patch around he mouth and nose.

Went to Publix yesterday and some 40-ish year old woman asked me why I didn’t have a mask on after I passed her with my cart. I just stopped and turned around and said, “Because I’ve never been one to make decisions based on emotions, only logic, Karen“. All I got was a blank stare. I smiled and went on down the isle. I think she was pissed because I passed her and she was the one that had her cart almost in the middle of the isle. ——————————————— The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Psalm 14:1 | |||

a little diff view of one of the impacts https://theconservativetreehou...program/#more-194987 The DOJ in Boston have announced the arrest of a Winchester resident, Elijah Majak Buoi, 38, for seeking more than $13 million in PPP loans from the COVID rescue package. "forgivable loans" BOSTON – A Winchester man was arrested today and charged with allegedly filing fraudulent loan applications seeking more than $13 million in forgivable loans guaranteed by the Small Business Administration (SBA) for COVID-19 relief through the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act. Elijah Majak Buoi, 38, was charged in a criminal complaint with wire fraud, and will appear in federal court in Boston this afternoon. According to the complaint, Buoi is the president and CEO of an information technology services company, Sosuda Tech, LLC. Between April 2020 and June 2020, Buoi allegedly submitted fraudulent applications for over $13 million in PPP loans through SBA-approved lenders. In these applications, Buoi misrepresented the number of employees and payroll expenses and falsely certified that the United States was the primary residence for his employees. Buoi also allegedly submitted falsified documentation in support of his applications for PPP funds. The complaint further alleges that Buoi ultimately received over $2 million in PPP funds. The government has seized approximately $1.98 million from Sosuda’s business bank accounts. “The defendant tried to defraud an emergency program designed to help businesses, and their employees, survive the most difficult economic crisis since the Great Depression,” said United States Attorney Andrew E. Lelling. “This behavior is reprehensible, and my office is committed to rooting out and prosecuting this kind of fraud wherever we find it.” | |||

US attorneys will have plenty of work prosecuting these cases for the next five years. Getting money quickly to people creates opportunity for thieves. | |||

I just learned a COVID tracker was installed on my phone. It wasn't there after the last update but it is there now. It cannot be disabled. Android: Settings > Google It's at the top of the list.

That appears correct the structure within Google to interface with a public health app has been installed in the core software of Google in the Android operating system. This was not there a few weeks ago and the last system update was at least 3 weeks ago. I have not found a health tracking app, however there is a standard Samsung Heath App already installed ,and quite handy if your active. I'm not sure if this could be updated to finish the tracking process as it's already installed.
