  1. The county next to us had its first death on what was its first confirmed case. I'm a bit worried as one of our game night people's daughter frequents the store the guy was a clerk of (it was a convenience store across the street from their house). And her family isn't exactly the healthiest of groups. So here is hoping their don't contract and their played things smart.
  2. Damn America, if we just would stay home now we can get back to our daily mass shootings instead of watching other countries steal our thunder.
  3. @chakoo I try to keep the retro industry running :P I have a few more some (mostly NES games) sometime during the week. Ill post again when they arrive.
  4. Haven't done one of these in a bit.
  5. My town has confirmed its first positive case. Needless to say the backlash of people still proclaiming that it is a fake virus on the hospital's post is amazing.
  6. Just got do playing the first half of Shadow Hearts. It has been a series I have wanted to actually play and after playing through Koudelka at the start of our state's stay-at-home order I figured why the hell not play through the entire series.
  7. Now the hospital in my town forces you to be pre-screened through the ER for scheduled appointments in the outpatient clinic. After being escorted into the ER by a deputy to make sure you are the only person (or guardian if the patient is a minor) going into the appointment. From there you are given a paper that informs you that you will be removed if you touch anything during the escort to the exam room.
  8. Guys, we can learn from Melania. She has been social distancing from Donald for some time now.
  9. The biggest thing about that is that there are people that commute to work there from as far as Tonapah. So the number of counties that potentially can be affected is pretty large. But like most of the rurals, the mentality is that this is still not that big of a deal. Hell my county has actually traveled more since the start of March.
  10. I dont know the my last few orders have been delayed by UPS with the following message: "Due to global health events beyond our control, your package is being held for delivery at a later date." Most of the stuff is taking just around 2 weeks to receive from Amazon when shipping via UPS. Now stuff shipped with USPS is actually taking less time for me so I let sit in the garage for a few day before opening. Completely anecdotal, but those virus survival times are also the reason that I have been packing anything that is 3d printed into a box and let it sit for a week before donating to our local hospital.
  11. I think he is going to force the CDC to change the guidelines which is what a few of the governors have been basing their decisions on. But, like you mentioned, at this point I see the governors continuing the course and telling the President to shove off. At which point he will get angry and attempt to block funding to the states that don't follow the new guidelines.
  12. Funny enough, the 3D printing community is struggling with the sanitizing issues on 3d printed masks. While the filter inserts can be tossed away the masks themselves aren't easily sanitized.
  13. So I guess my son will get just enough hours to put him over the limit that he could possibly qualify for EI. Knowing the owner of his group of locations this was most likely done to get people to quit instead of sticking around with low hours.
  14. So my son just found out that his employer is making sure each employee works only works 1 day a week to prevent them from filing unemployment. Only management is getting their normal shifts.
  15. I believe we had the first loss of a gambling license in the state in Lovelock with a gas station owner refusing to close down his slot machines.
  16. I have seen this in a few head-scratching places. In Fallon the local comic book shop is not only staying open and doing curb side deliveries, but allowing groups in to play Magic and other tournament games. And in Reno (even under threat of losing their business licenses) the retro video game stores and comic shops are staying open.
  17. 40% of the state's budget still comes from tourism (and a large part of that from gambling). Sure we have made huge strides since 2008 to diversify the state's economy, but to say that it won't hurt is a healthy bit of BS.
  18. Nevada schools are now closed to at least April 3rd. The big hang up was that online schooling to make up for lost days was ruled against the state's constitution a couple of years back. Basically one of the schools in the Tahoe region tried to use online classes for days school was cancelled from snow and somebody sued over it.
  19. It is because they are still looking to the CDC and State for guidance. Mineral County just released a statement that made it sound like it was all their idea to end all sports for the district. Somebody quickly posted a memo by the NIAA that was done earlier in the day that said sponsored events were cancelled effective Monday. The superintendent here is a piece of work.
