Hopes are high for a treatment, which could come much quicker than a vaccine

Scientists around the globe are racing to develop tests, treatments, and vaccines to combat the COVID-19 disease.

Near term, tests are the priority. Beyond testing, regulators are trying to get treatments approved as quickly and safely as possible to serve as a bridge to a vaccine, which is likely to take 12 months, according to the U.S. FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn.

Health-care experts broadly agree that a treatment is likely to come before a vaccine. “If a good treatment emerges, whatever it is, we expect regulators to prioritize expeditious review,” Laura Sutcliffe, a UBS health-care analyst said in a research note. —Julianna Tatelbaum

To repeat myself, one Costco jumbo pack of TP was purchased by this household sometime last fall.  We still do not need TP before May at the earliest.  I’ve actually seen it in the store, didn’t buy it because I don’t need it.

Michigan Dept of Educ just announced any instruction the kids receive online will not count toward the required hours in the classroom.

Well, I have a stamp for that too....

Lady guv needs to step in and straighten that b.s. out right now or she'll be calling the nat'l guard up for the people marching on Lansing.

The online instruction rollout here is (surprise, surprise) a total POS.  Only half the teachers are doing anything, and those who are, are using different platforms.  None of them are posting assignments or grades on the district’s official app, so no central location to check assignments or grades.  I doubt any of this will count.  School is now closed until April 3.  Prom is scheduled for April 4, and has not yet been cancelled. So kids are worried about dresses, tuxedos, and flowers, they probably will not need, but must pay for in advance to reserve.

Stopped at local pet food store. Lots of shelves cleaned out.
Pet owners panicked too and they don't even need toilet paper.

The two ladies working said they did one month of business in six days.  Admitted that down the road, when things start to normalize, people will start using their stash and sales will fall off.

Same thing is in the offing for grocery stores too.

Short term profit, longer term losses. The shit paper sales will plummet in the coming months as people realize they hoarded enough to last years.

You want to watch a couple more?  They can keep your little ones company.  ;D ;D

Our governor also stated that rumors of martial law is being fomented by the Russians and Chinese .

Down go Florida Beaches. 

The irresponsible governor doesn't have the guts to do it, but county and public officials have taken the step anyways.

"Miami-Dade, Manatee, Sarasota and Okaloosa counties said Thursday that they’d close their beaches, joining Naples, Tampa, Fort Lauderdale and Miami Beach. And other closures are likely to come."


Waiting for Michigan to issue an order for a statewide stay home order.  She hinted at it Friday.  Just make the call already.

Not just the beaches.   I just received word half an hour ago from our rental place saying they have to cancel us.  They directed me to this link.

Florida Keys officials have ordered lodging businesses, including hotels, to close to visitors amid the coronavirus pandemic.  Officials announced Thursday that hotels will be directed to stop taking new reservations effective immediately. They said they have plans to close the island to visitors starting at 6 p.m. Sunday.  The only exception is for long-term renters in vacation homes and RV parks with contracts of 28 days or more who are currently staying in the Keys. They are allowed to stay until the end of their contracts.

So, to make official....


Down Goes the Florida Keys.


I think we're going to head up to daddy's cabin next weekend.   My little one and I might go up sooner.   Dan and his two following.   We'll see.

I saw that this morning Jules, the Keys are closed.  I forgot you were going after the cruise cancellation.  Sorry

I spent some time up at a cabin not too long ago.  Had the best time.  Didn't have kids though so your fun will be different than mine.

Our Governor keeps dropping hints about a shelter in place order. I'm sure he's already made up his mind. The "hints" are just his way of lessening the blow. Watch for the "down goes Minnesota" announcement.

I've already been told to expect to see the national guard patrolling the streets with local law enforcement.  Curfew is right around the corner.

Shelter in place begins at 5:00PM today in Illinois. National Guard to assist only in setting up and manning additional testing sites.

My friend took this photo of Houston (4th largest US city, pop. 6.7 million) at 9 a.m. yesterday...
