DarkStar189 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 The local hobby store around the corner from me was boarding up their store tonight. Just bought my son a sweet r/c truck there about 3 weeks ago. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littleronin Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 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.

Uaarkson Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 This is all just so fucked. I’ve been delivering pizza for my brother’s store which is usually good money but I’ve been getting about half of what I’d normally make in tips. Then to top it off, the owner of the franchise called an ‘emergency managers meeting’ in Oakland county (ground zero for the outbreak in Michigan). Said something to the effect of, “it’s all an overblown political/media sensation.” A few hours later, my brother’s girlfriend isn’t feeling well and having panic attacks, and he decides to quit on the spot pretty much, after 4 years. One manager is out sick with a fever, another just put in his two-week notice. Now I’m wondering if the store will even be open next week. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just drawing a total blank on everything going on right now. I've always been good at estimating things in my head, like how long things last or what could happen. This is moving so quick day to day I can't keep up. A week or two ago the big news was "Do you think E3 is going to happen??". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's essentially shelter in place without being called shelter in place. A lot of nonessential businesses in Nevada didn't close yet because they considered it a suggestion instead of an order.

My hometown of Yakima WA has only one operational hospital, as the other one shut down last year from what I understand. This hospital serves a metro region of about a quarter million people. The ICU at this lone hospital is going to get hit hard. Although a lot of attention will be played to the largest cities in America, many medium and small sized ones are going to get hit hard too, as much of the medical supplies will likely be routed to the large cities.

Now the group has turned its attention to making masks. Using a mixture of cotton and plastic, a group of 45 volunteers, using 32 sewing machines, are aiming to produce up to 2,000 masks per day.

President Jovenel Moïse made the announcement late Thursday after declaring a countrywide state of emergency and confirming the country’s first two COVID-19 cases. Moïse said the confirmations were made by the country’s National Laboratory. He did not provide any details on the age of the patients, their travel histories or if the cases are community transmissions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
