    House always wins.

    Trailer floor, made of wood, reasonably straight. Probably make a nice alley.

    Not everyone has the ability to say No and still keep their job. Yes, I turn down some work, but with all the food service guys out of work, companies are taking apps in record numbers, I may have 23 yrs, but that's not a given.

    Numbers, as of 3:30 pm 4/23/2020
    Global population 7.82 billion
    Total Global Confirmed Covid Cases: 2.7 million (based on other numbers, estimated at 3 million)
    Total Confirmed Covid Deaths: 188,000 (These numbers could either be higher or lower depending, as many other deaths are being reported as Covid, and there are many who have died in their homes that have not been found yet)
    Total Confirmed Covid Recovered: 740,000
    Total Confirmed Covid Cases: .034% of the global population
    Total Global Covid Deaths: '023% of the population

    Current US Unemployment 26.5 million (at the start of this, it was 2.9%, it's now 16%, U-3 is expected to be closer to 20%)

    Per the CDC
    Oct 1st, 2019 thru April 4th, 2020 Seasonal US Flu numbers
    39,000,000 to 56,000,000
    410,000 to 700,000 hospitalizations
    24,000 to 62,000 deaths

    The biggest thing that makes Covid-19 scarier, more dangerous than the regular Flu is a lack of vaccine, lack of anti-virus, and no known absolute medication treatments.

    And now that people like Stanford and USC, along with the state of NY and MA, are doing random tests on the population to see who has antibodies, theyre finding that bookoo amounts of people have already had corona and that puts the fatality rate at well below 1%.

    The whole thing is a hoax that has crashed our economy and brought families across America to their knees.

    Yeah, but was it intentional?

    i think certain leaders in our govt and among the global elite have a vested interest in crashing segments of the economy and making sure they have a healthy amount of people begging for help from the govt.

    I dont know about anybody else, but I dont want my family eating sewer rats because America has become a smoldering hellscape. I'm actually surprised people havent lost their cool over this yet. Maybe its because of all the weed and pills people take now. Keeps em nice n mellow.

    Didn't see this til today. Yea I CT I'll deff give that a try next time. They screwed up times so i came back to the house and ran 88 up. Troop C dot boys are fair, one of the few decent crews still out. Got yanked dodging the coop by Otego, got an over length ticket. Got a compliment on how clean the 93 was. I know if we get yanked by them they're just looking for an easy inspection to meet quota or whatever

    I agree.

    Anyone and everyone that is still working is glad of it, and not a hero for doing so.
    Lucky is more like it.

    But I would consider health care workers hero's in all of this. They are the ones most at risk.
