I'm glad I live where I do. The vast majority of people here have taken this seriously from the beginning. There are those that say the South will rise again. I doubt they expected the only thing to rise was the amount of Covid cases. While Oregon was locking down and people started wearing masks they were still scoffing at the virus and cramming bars and restaurants, etc... You can see the result.

I was told part of my mom's family is Pennsylvania Dutch, as far as I can figure out it is German. My Grandpa was German *(Prussian), no doubt.

We are fuked. Keith should have been dead 40 years ago. He lived/lives an extremely self destructive lifestyle. If the virus has only one fingers worth of his longevity, our grandkids will retire with a mask on.

There's no Dutch in the Pennsylvania Dutch also referred to as the Pennsylvania Germans.

Also known as the 'wood mafia' around here.
Although they just put a metal roof on a neighbor's house. 21st century Amish.
Funny story: A buddy hired them to do some roofing work. Part of the deal was a case of beer when they were done before their driver picked them up. Lol.
They aren't allowed to drink at home. They polished off that case in a half hour, went home happy.

Wasn't going to post this as it has a political theme.
This clip is why I'm posting it.
And a hurricane in the middle of a pandemic was very much on our minds at NORTHCOM. We started calling it the COVICANE. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is calling for an above-average Atlantic Hurricane Season this year with a possibility of 19 named storms.
Typically, the National Guard and some active duty forces respond to hurricanes to provide things like search and rescue, engineering, and medical support. Rooftop helicopter rescues make for dramatic footage, but the truth is that the military does not do the bulk of the work. Instead, volunteer organizations like the Red Cross lead the effort by managing shelters, feeding the hungry, and processing displaced families. My team looked at how COVID-19 might impact volunteers. What we found was scary.
Foremost, most members of these volunteer organizations are over 60 years old, putting them into the high-risk category for COVID-19. According to the American Red Cross, of their 21,000 trained disaster responders, 42 percent are over the age of 65.

I Was an Army COVID Planner. Trust Me: Texas Is F*cked.
Things are pretty bad right now in the Lone Star State. But the real pain is likely to come during hurricane season, when as many as 19 named storms are projected to hit.
By now the message should be, buy a respirator, goggles and portable hand sanitizer. No one but you can protect yourself from Coronavirus, to paraphrase Smokey the Bear.Wasn't going to post this as it has a political theme.

Yeah it's a tough game. My mom has 2 friends visiting her and kept pushing about driving back up here with them. I just had to tell her that she's not welcome up here. Was really tough but I feel a whole hell of a lot better now that I laid down the law. Good luck girl.
I have the opposite problem. My son wants me to visit my granddaughter and I would love to. Unfortunately I don't wish to frighten her by wearing a respirator. So until we resolve this I can't visit her. She's 6 months old now and I've held her once. Hopefully by doing this right I'll be able to make up the time with her when she can remember me.

Yeah it's tough for everyone for a whole host of reasons. Unfortunately my mom and I have very differing opinions and views of the world. So her not visiting is just one of the problems.

I hate the Red Cross. When I was an airman living paycheck to paycheck I was told to contact them to help get a plane ticket for my wife to go home when her brother died. They kept after me like a loan shark to pay it back. We were paying what we could and they still gave us shit.
