    These are the updated C-V related numbers in Oregon. Yet, the lady who gave me a black market haircut the other day is scared someone will snitch on her too.

    Look at these numbers from Oregon, yet our esteemed Governor, Kate Brown, is continuing to deny many small businesses their right and opportunity to earn a living.

    Like one guy said the other other day, we're at the point now that if the government told people they have to wear diapers while out in public, a large percentage of them would do it.

    Where would you go?
    There is still plenty of places here where you could develop your own house farm and live off the land. The large chunk of North American continent...
    I don't think you'll find a better place where the law is equal for all and owning guns legally will discourage your enemies from hurting you.
    Nowhere in the world like here, People are respectful to private properties and mind their own business most of the time.

    I will have my wife do it for me. She is not a professional barber but she has cut my hair for years. I must say that I don't find her cutting my hair a particularly pleasant experience but every time she does it is about $25 saved.

    Look at these numbers!

    115 deaths attributed to Covid-19 in a state with 4 million people.

    641 hospitalizations out of 2916 positives. That's a 22% hospitalization rate. The bulk of those were in the Portland area.

    We were told that we needed to "flatten the curve", so as not to overwhelm of hospitals. We not only flattened the curve, we're in the process of flattening the medical care facilities.

    Many of them are going broke, due to lack of clientele. People are foregoing needed medical care because they're afraid to go out. Look at those numbers in NY Cuomo showed the other day. 66% of the people who've died in NY were "sheltering" in place at home!

    This is freaking insane!...

    In the process, we're flattening and bankrupting small & large businesses, which will end up hurting us all more in the long run.

    I think it’s all politics at this point.

    My pregnant 27 year old daughter works at a hospital in southern Oregon and says they're running at around 40% capacity. She checked out the only remaining covid patient in their hospital a couple days ago after he had been there for around 40 days. A man around 60 and has made a full recovery. People are starting to be laid off at the hospitals because they aren't allowed to let in people for non-emergency procedures or elective surgeries. She was happy to see the patient leave because she had to wear a full hazmat suit just to enter his room.

    So what exactly are they calling it? I guess that means they're not calling it the Wu Han virus?

    In that case they forgot to rename the Spanish flu and the West Nile virus.

    I guess no more Chinese dumplings or Italian sausage. No French poodles or English bulldogs.

    Do you like Japanese cars? No no no you like alternative American cars.

    Do you like Canadian bacon? How dare you you racist!

    Did you buy some cheap parts? Don't call them Chinese parts!

    Now you have to just call it town… no more Chinatown.

    In fact if you need a job you'll have to write this... @town
    Instead of @Chinatown...

    SMH...

    This is directly from the San Antonio Resolution:

    AFFIRMING THE CITY’S COMMITMENT TO THE SAFETY AND WELL-BEING OF ALL COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND COMBATTING HATE SPEECH.

    "WHEREAS, all persons are encouraged to report any such antisemitic, discriminatory or racist incidents to the proper authorities for investigation"
