  1. My father in law is a bartender at the VFW. I'm not sure this order includes private clubs like the VFW, but it honestly should - most of the people who go there to drink are at least in their 60s. My father in law himself is 70.
  2. Regardless of the healthcare system, once you reach the tipping point of more sick people than there are hospital beds, it's game over. Taiwan and South Korea have good healthcare systems, but they also understood the benefit of testing early and often (for free) as well as social distancing. Europe has good healthcare, but that probably won't help because most of the countries haven't taken testing and social distancing seriously. Frankly, most countries haven't.
  3. Many cities, including my own (Las Vegas) are going to look a lot like Bergamo. And I as I mentioned upthread, we are going to #spreadit to every corner of the US and Canada because we are a prime tourist destination.
  4. They shouldn't fly if they plan to go back to Canada. I'm sure the LAS airport and all of the planes are infested with coronavirus right now. Probably the casinos too.
  5. At the grocery store 15 minutes before they open. There is a line of over 100 people in front me. I think we are all here for the same reason. Toilet paper. It's like a breadline.
  6. Mandatory 10 day waiting period (even if you already own a gun) in California. Sucks for them.
  7. We just cancelled our trip for Easter Weekend. Alaska Airlines issued a full refund. Sort of. No penalties for cancelling but they hold onto the money for a future flight that has to be booked by January next year.
  8. That's true. But if you're not able to wash your hands with soap and water because you have to go somewhere, it's helpful I would assume.
  9. I concentrated 50% rubbing alcohol to 90%+ that I can use if our supply of hand sanitizer runs out. It was pretty easy too. Dump and mix pure salt (non iodized) into the rubbing alcohol. You need to keep adding salt intil it won't dissolve any further - the water becomes super saturated with salt. This in turns makes the water more dense than the alcohol, and the water will fall to the bottom, while the alcohol will rise to the top. I removed the alcohol on top with a turkey baster and put back in the rubbing alcohol container. The method is pretty efficient. From a 16 oz bottle of 50% rubbing alcohol I was able to extract around 7.5 oz of alcohol. This method would probably work with vodka or everclear, but it would be incredibly expensive considering the additional taxes on consumable alcohol.
  10. My wife was able to get a 3 month supply of her anti-seizure meds, but she had to go to CVS instead of Walgreens to do it. The medication is made in India.
  11. There is no mass transit solution between where I live and where I work. Even if there was, it would probably an hour long trip each way, versus 15 minutes in a car.
  12. Make sure you don't flush kleenex. It doesn't break down like toilet paper does. It could eventually clog your shitter.
