One amazing thing to see with this pandemic is how people and businesses adapt. Online shopping/ groceries, plastic panels between customer and cashier, hell even American Idol is done through the homes of contestants and judges!
The sad thing to see is what couldnt adapt , places that were long on the decline such as department stores . Or places that weren’t afforded the option to adapt be it because they were non essential businesses or couldn't afford to adapt.

So something isn’t adding up. Family member after family member. Population is only 60k here. Not even close contact.
My dad said Wilkes regional isn’t taking COVID19 patients. Must travel out of County. He’s been in bed for a few days with chills and cough.
My brother in law had no fever so he was denied a test. Went elsewhere and mentioned Tyson contact and was given a test. Positive.

Governor Cooper is speaking at 11:30 today. I'm hoping that he is announcing that we are moving into phase one.

Might as well. Seems most people are not abiding anymore anyways. No need to punish small business if we are gonna let the big.box store stay open.
I’m really curious about how this will affect utilities. The place where I work has decided like many to not turn off the water for people who fail to pay due to the pandemic. This will probably go on for another month or two at least.
I am curious about what will happen when those who don’t pay have to catch back up. I could definitely see this pushing us farther into socialism in that regard. After not being responsible for the utility bill for three or more months it could really be regarded as a “right” and the government should have to provide it free.

In 2-4 weeks everyone is going to be asking wHy AlL tHe NeW cAsEs? I went to lowes yesterday to look for a new fridge since mine is on the fritz, I was the only person with a mask. Unreal.

The optics of allowing hundreds of people in Hobby Lobby but preventing churches from gathering is not a good look. I’ve been supportive of the Governor so far, but if he retains the stay at home today while allowing Hobby Lobby to be open, then I might have to consider doing something I really don’t want to do.
Agreed. I bet within the next 30 days the face covering/mask topic gets really hot. I honestly didn't feel comfortable in anyway. Then people wonder why we had to shut things down
No temp regulations. Sometimes they will spray water on the trailers but once a day doesn’t help much. Rainy days are the best to work.
If temps exceed 115 managers sometimes come by with free popsicles.

Im not gonna lie. Sometimes i completely forget about the virus when im out in public. I rarely see people wearing masks, and I have to consciously remind myself to stay 6 feet apart from people. I've gotten with 1 or 2 feet of people more times than I would like to admit.
I used to load trailers at UPS when I was in college and for a while after I graduated. We got mini Gatorade if RDU hit 97+ i don't know what that equated to in the hub or the trailers felt like 200
