Kolek planning to go pro
And it's such a shame because my parents and mother-in-law moved into them because they (and we) thought they would be safer and more healthy there.
Had a meeting yesterday where our covid protocols were brought up. From leadership, basically we have a few masks, shields and gowns that will be divided up when needed. Recycled and reused. This is of course for people with developmental and behavioral issues. So this comes with increased chances of infection for anyone servicing them.When I brought up the facts that the only way one of our residents gets covid is if one of our staff has it, what's the protocol then? They asked me to elaborate...If one staff is infected more staff is likely. Were already short staffed. Our dsps make 10 dollars an hour. When someone goes down, were going to see them drop like flies.What is the protocol for when 80% of staff doesn't show. Crickets.
That's pretty disturbing, UJ. Hopefully your alleged leaders shape up.And you stay safe.
We have food lines miles and miles long. People waiting overnight hoping to get food from food banks. At the same time, we have farmers dumping milk, and plowing crops into the ground because the market for wholesale items for the food service industry is gone (shifted to home products).Wouldn't it have been wise for the federal government to step in, promise funds to farmers and wholesale foods if they shifted their delivery to food banks?
Been a while since we have heard from those that do business with China, just curious if things are still on the upswing
Yep. They are being cautious given the global situation, but we have customers basically back to full operation. Actually unfortunately had an employee in our Shenzhen office leave the company cause she was moving back to her hometown to be closer to her family. And that was something she’s wanted to do since Chinese New Year but had to put on hold for many reasons.
Some research is now showing that obesity is the most significant risk factor other than age for bad outcomes from COVID-19, while asthma is not as big a risk as previously thought.Not final or peer reviewed, but pretty interesting....https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/16/us/coronavirus-cases-live-updates.html?action=click&module=Spotlight&pgtype=Homepage#link-35b98df1
Wisconsin and six other midwestern states entering a multi-state pact to manage this. This looks like a good move. My guess is all seven will be shut down through Memorial Day Tuesday.https://twitter.com/CrainsChicago/status/1250848248694177792?s=20
I like these multi-state deals. They make sense, because Mr. Covid knows no borders. Plus, more ideas, more discussion, more viewpoints can only help IMHO.
Bets on how many Trump supporters are suddenly big supporters of the federal government's powers?
For the first time in a couple of weeks, I'm starting to worry about food availability. Ran into a grocery store today about 930AM. Chicken and pork sold out. Minimal beef left. Bought a couple of turkey breasts just cause they had them.But they had toilet paper.I hope it was a short term issue.
After hours stock market futures up big. CNBC reporting that remdesivir is showing a lot of potential as a treatment.Hope it is. Would be huge.
