What a difference a week makes. Last week I wrote about the first signs of spring and what do with it staying light out later. This week I’m figuring out how not to kill everyone I see panic buying groceries.
The CDC’s recommendation for social distancing is really working to the Glibs’ advantage but has me wondering about the gym. I’m a spry 55 so I’m not in the most-likely-to-die category but still wondering if it’s worth it. I’ll probably just go. I’ve seen the death rate statistics and like my odds. I have to go to downtown LA for work this week so if I survive that the gym shouldn’t be a problem.
For those of you who are staying in out of fear or you are a shut in, there’s good news. You can still get a good workout at home. But Chafed! you exclaim, I want an excuse to sit on my ass and finally watch Babylon 5. Tough. If you aren’t sick, it’s time to workout.
If you could only do one exercise, then I’d recommend burpee pushups. It’s got everything and you could do them in a prison cell. Some of you probably have. This exercise works most of your body and is great cardio too.
Too intense? I get it. Those things will kick your ass. You could alternate skater hops with split squat jumps for legs. For upper body do clapping, plyo pushups and pull ups.
Still too much? You’re testing my patience. Do some mountain climbers, running in place, and shadow boxing.
That’s still too much? Fine. Just sit home and masturbate.
Let’s hope you all stay healthy and the panic passes before I perform a mercy killing. Here’s some music to keep you going. Watching that I just realized Richie Blackmore and Neal Diamond were separated at birth. Go figure.
My business trip added ~4 pounds back to me, but the time off for St. Patrick’s Day isn’t happening now. No spin class this week as I was in four airports over the past week. Depending on what DeWine does over the next week or so, there may be nothing at all going on. The weather isn’t helping for the ability to get out on the real bike. I’ve got a grocery order to pick up in a bit, then I’ll be staying in for the week.
*Thinks back to doing burpees in HS basketball practice*
Nope. I swore back then I’d never do them again. I’d hate to break my word to myself.
I’ve long said you’re a man of your word.
They are a hell of a workout, though. And I’ve been trying to think of good exercises to do in my 12′ x 12′ office before I get ready for work in the morning.
I can’t see my self doing burpees shortly after getting out of bed, but it would be a hell of a way to wake up.
I can’t see my self doing burpees shortly after getting out of bed, but it would be a hell of a way to
wakethrow up.FTFY.
FWIW I workout in the morning because it’s the only way I can ensure I get a workout in. I give myself at least 15 minutes before starting and always warm up. Try breaking the burpees into manageable sets or a set period of time, then rest, and repeat.
Try breaking the burpees into manageable sets
I do as many reps of zero burpees as I can fit in throughout the day.
This guy understands fitness, keep it up CS.
HIIT shadowboxing will get you winded real fast.
Absolutely. Do it in timed rounds. It’s easy track your progress and damned humbling.
I do Tabata shadowboxing if something comes up and I can’t do my regular workout. It may not burn as many calories as running for 45 minutes, but it’s better than not exercising at all.
What I love about it is that it requires zero equipment and only takes 4 minutes, so I’m completely deprived of any excuse not to do it. I could be locked in an outhouse and still be able to perform that exercise.

Chafed, this is my favorite group link of the week. So many different perspectives on fitness. Just last week, I was having shoulder pains…and some recommended bar hanging. It provided great relief. Thanks!
I recommend hiking as an alt to going to the gym. I got a dog so I don’t have a choice to hike..do it every damn day. To increase intensity find some elevation or go double quick. To really amp things up, fill a back pack or book bags with sand bags (freezer ziplocks hold about 4-5 lbs of sand each..use up to 5 or 6). Wear pack on back and hike. Half way into hike switch pack to front. Really builds the core.
I’ll pass on outdoor activity until the weather stops being rainy and in the 30’s. It looks like there may be one day this week without rain and temps in the 50’s, back then back down into freezing temps by the weekend.
Chafed, this is my favorite group link of the week.
Seconded.
Thanks IRBE. I really appreciate that.
I have had a Labrador retriever for 9 years. I completely understand your need to exercise your dog (and yourself in the process.)
I hang it in bars all the time, and I rarely feel any pain at all. Great advice
Since I don’t have to commute, I can walk Babs longer in the am. I’ll also be walking her at noon. Since it’s light later in the evening, we’re walking longer in the evening as well. I should do more weight type exercise, but this at least is more.
Exactly. Do what you can right now and go from there.
I’ve been making sure we do the hills as well.
I thought the penultimate link was going to be Captain Jack.

I guess I should have read the comments before posting.
It’s got everything and you could do them in a prison cell. Some of you probably have.
It was the county jail, not prison. What do you take us for?
Does the drunk tank count?
You do you.
Second batch of egg rolls done. Last night air fryer today oil in a pan. Oil frying > air frying. Ease of air fryer raises its appeal though.
Can you spritz oil on the skins to improve outcome and get those hard bubbles?
That’s what I did. Not the same. They were good, but oil frying has better texture.
Working from home is going to take me away from donuts, cheeseburgers, and stress eating out of the vending machine. Will report on health effects.
Just sit home and masturbate.
I was expecting this
The Irish pub was busy. Packed. No bar seats available. I got a table which I don’t normally do. I ate my full Irish breakfast and enjoyed a Founder’s Breakfast stout. Then back home.
My weight is continuing to go down. I had a chat with the trainer at the gym I work with. He is wondering if I’m eating too little. He showed me some work one of his professor’s has been doing to analyze athlete’s caloric needs. The professor has been updating various equations to get better estimates of what athletes need. According to them, I should be eating a little more than I am. So I’ll start adjusting over the course of this week.
Pain is up and down. Very easy to trigger. At physical therapy we have been trying a few new things with mixed success. When I’m good, there is no pain, but damn is it easy to trigger. My PT thinks there is still a slight impingement.
I’m enjoying one of these before I go back to work on a bug that my boss and I just can’t figure out.
I’m kind of surprised not to see squats mentioned. I’m very grateful to Ozy for posting what I call “the Ozy challenge” — day 1, 1 squat, day 2, 2, up through 100 days. I’m on day 15, which honestly astonishes me. I’m old, borderline decrepit, and lazy as sin. But somehow, this works for me.
I may not make it to 100, but I’m already feeling improvements from the 2 weeks I’ve been doing this. I think part of what makes it work, for me at least, is I don’t have to worry about day 100. Or day 25. I did my 15, I know I can do 16 tomorrow. And that’s all the further ahead I have to worry.
Wherever I end up, I’ll be better off for having done this.
Thanks Ozy!
Surely Not! – The “thirties” will make you feel fantastic when they’re over – and I mean that both ways you can interpret it. Probably will have to grind through them a bit, but that’s where I think you start to see some “gains” that you’ll notice in your day-to-day life. I’m really glad to hear you’re giving it a whirl. I watched it transform a friend of mine in her Fifties. She wound up going the full 365 days’ worth! And then adding in rowing on a Concept2 Ergometer the next year, then some more challenging stuff, and now she’s fitter than as long as I’ve known her (over 12 years).
I’m getting a little more consistent, added in some running lately, and I play hockey each week at least once or twice, but I need to set some goals and start work toward them. It seems to be the only thing that works for me. Give the Ego some goals to achieve and then it will prod you into doing the things you need to (establishing the necessary habits) in order to get there.
Oh, I’m already feeling improvement. This has been very good for my lower back. I’ll be 69 in June ;-\ Every little bit helps.
I’m the other guy working on a variant of this. Since I started at a higher number, today was 27 reps. I’ve been adding in some exercises along the way. Today’s total was 27 squats, sit ups, toe touches (all continuous), 27 pushups (sets of 9,9,9), 27 bent over rows of 30 lbs, and 17 chair dips.
The squats and situps are starting to wind me, but not to excess.
I really like this routine.
I, too, have been doing the “Ozy Challenge” and am also on Day 15. However, went to start a bit ago an my left knee (the non-artificial one) went *sproing!*. No more knee bends for me.
I’m a bit upset about this because I’m so out of shape that I need to get into shape to get into shape. I had already been getting results from the last two weeks.
Back to the treadmill. Been doing two 15-minute walks rather than one 30.
I suspect I’d be more than a ‘bit upset.’ That sucks, I hope alternatives work out well for you.
I started that with crunches back in January… of 2019.
I’m on day 440.
All right, I’m not going to the beach, sauna, hot tub, or gymnasium with any of you people! My pale pasty droopy body would die of embarrassment!
Honestly, I’ll be pleased with however far I get. I’ll be astounded if I add anything else into the routine, other than some stretching exercises. I got distracted away from looking at those for reasons, but back to it this week.
That I’m actually doing the squats, and have kept it up for more than 2 weeks amazes everyone who knows me.

After the edict came down from Caesar Dewinus on Thursday, I went to my “Cycle & Sculpt” class at the Y after work anyway. Attendance was definitely down, but classes were on and facilities open as usual, with signs asking all with symptoms to go away. I just wiped down my bike, mat, & weights both before & after class.
We’ll see if Dear Leader decides to flex his muscles any more, if you’ll pardon the expression.

He’s got those people in lab coats behind him! That make it all medical and sciencey and stuff.
Bet OMWC looks real genuine in his lab coat!
He actually did it. Starts at 9pm tonight.
He’s a fucking asshole
He’s a socon. I’m sure closing down the bars is making him pretty happy. Prick. Dude needs tarred and feathered..
He looks like a toad. The director of the Ohio Department of Health, on the other hand; would test her for Kung Flu, IYKWIM.
And there it is. Democracy in action, folks. Is there a word for “rule by the most freaked out”?
Wait, that’s what this is about? The plebes aren’t panicking correctly?
Holy Fuck!
But how do those “concerned” people KNOW how many people were out on Saturday night unless THEY were also out on Saturday night?
That was my first thought GT. I hate people.
Hey there are people out there having fun. Don’t they know there is a health emergency going on. They need to be thrown in prison.

Wow. I wonder what part of the Ohio constitution gives him that power?
FYTW clause. I would love to see all bars refuse to comply.
Unfortunately that won’t happen.
“Nice business you got there, be a real shame if something happens to it.”
Even if overruled the process is the punishment.
Shit, I better go clean the beer dock out of Strohs. I’m going to have to put on pants, goddammit.
I’m headed to my local bar & grille in a few. At least until 9pm:(
I’m going to inquire about recalling the Governer.
If it lasts through April 4th and includes wineries (and I’m sure it does,) the Mister’s gonna be pissed – we, along with a friend, are scheduled for a one-time-only gig (our occasional, ad hoc band French Toast Zombies.)
This is going to fuck over a lot of business owners. It’s not like the bars can offer liquor, beer, and wine to go (some will be able to do growlers to go).
Fuck you DeWine.
Now would be a great time to open a speakeasy in your basement. I heard you have a couple kegs.
We can’t help the bars, but I foresee a lot of takeout for dinner at Chez GT. Fuck Dewine indeed.
My niece doesn’t know if the place she works at is going to stay open for takeout or not. I feel really bad for the handful of places that just opened in the past couple of weeks. This could take them out.
Apparently there’s some provision for employees to file for unemployment and for bar owners to return alcohol purchased within the last 30(?) days (which passes the loss along to the distributors.) What a cluster.
I think I mentioned here the other day the friend of mine that spent a year, year and a half and tens of thousands of dollars to resurrect a restaurant near where we grew up.
He told me he’s not affected by Wolf’s orders shutting down the area because his capacity is underneath “the magic number”.
When I checked the news this morning, I saw news about Wolf wanting to shut down all restaurants and bars. I’m worried about him.
Chicago just announced new rules as well:
Citing worries of large gathering continuing through St. Patrick’s Day on Tuesday, police will enforce that all business establishments that sell liquor to have less than half of their regular max capacity.
Additionally, any establishments that sell liquor will have a max capacity of 100 persons.
Pritzker said he was “disappointed” with all the people he saw out at bars celebrating St. Patrick’s Day Weekend.

Pritzker said he was “disappointed” with all the people he saw out at bars celebrating St. Patrick’s Day Weekend.
Pritzker can go fucking himself. The Irish breakfast I had earlier this afternoon was delicious.
Wow. “can go fuck himself.”
Thankfully closing bars and restaurants has not come to NH yet.
I wonder if that’s related to NH’s respect for the Second Amendment.
During the Mother’s Day floods about 15 (?) years ago, the National Guard got called out and forced people in some towns to evacuate whether they wanted to or not. I remember seeing articles about people in those towns bitching about being forced to evacuate. No shootings over it that I remember.
You know there will be some “temporary emergency measures” that will be on the books for all eternity, kind of like how emergency powers during WW1 are still there, and many economic interferences date back to the New Deal.

I got a later start this morning so I cut a mile off my morning treadmill walk, only 3 miles but I did the weight business. I have added a little weight on the barbells though. Can’t lose the belly or any weight. I blame my slow metabolism, yeah, that’s it, slow metabolism. The spring weather disappeared, I’m able to walk on top of the snow because of the crust.
Getting ready to start some of the garden plants, peppers and eggplant, they grow pretty slow at the beginning.
My wife has spent the weekend starting seeds. We’re almost there!
I got extra fitness today walking through three grocery stores to find three items. Carrots, mushrooms and flour. Don’t even think about asswipe paper. What the hell is wrong with people?
Fuck. I’m pushing off for another day. Will go tomorrow morning after the gym.
I went to Costco today. The crowd was lighter than usual. I didn’t need TP but passed through that aisle. Completely sold out. People are really something.
Amazon dumped a load of TP on our front porch this morning. I weep when I think of you poor Third Worlders.

AMERICA WAS ALREADY GREAT
Walking around the neighborhood is both exercise and a chance to socialize from a distance. People seem grateful even for small, fleeting convos.
Not to mention that being on good terms with your neighbors could be beneficial if things ever get crazy.
I took the dog for a walk, but since it was on state forest land, didn’t see anybody. The mountain bikers aren’t out yet.
Are you sure it’s not Ted K?
America Is a Sham
“What are your hobbies?”
“Ghouls.”
Both China and Italy serve as counter-examples to the claim that “universal” healthcare would prevent the spread of things like COVID-19.
I think in most of Western Europe, the socialized medicine solution comes down to this.
Under 65? Don’t get sick.
Over 65? Take a pill and die quietly at home, geezer.

And don’t you dare think you can just buy your way into better/timelier treatments.
Unless you’re super wealthy and can fly to Singapore, we’re not going to mention that.
What do they have a bunch of singers who are poor there or something?
HOME RUN, CHIPPAH!
Commodious spits muffins!
That’s the thing – rich people always get good care, even if it means getting it from another country. Average people are stuck with whatever the government gives them under nationalized healthcare.
I’ve also heard that the British NHS mysteriously gives rich and famous people the treatment they need immediately while others have to wait months and months (no doubt because rich/famous people will make a lot of noise and cause bad PR for the NHS in a way that normal people can’t).
You certainly don’t want NHS doctors treating you on a dare.
Not completely true. France (ferinstance) has a blended healthcare system — you can take your chances with the base level of care provided purely through the public arm, or “upgrade” your treatments (either by paying yourself or having your private insurance provider pay). When my French cousins showed me all the different ways you could upgrade, I was floored.
France may have more available choices for most people than the U.S. They certainly have a lot more than the average Canuck can get.
The French are… suis generis in so many respects. I don’t think a lot of their practices would translate well for American progressives, except their liberal immigration policies.
Suis generis, that’s French, right?
Heh.
Sui generis, and Latin. But I’m sure you already knew that. ;-)
Nationalized healthcare is a eugenics program. The goal is to kill poor people. If you can afford private insurance after paying out the ass for the public system, you’re good to go.
My wife and I have private insurance in Brazil and it’s very good. If you’re poor, good luck if you get seriously ill because your chances of survival are not good.
What’s the end game for this ‘kill the poor people’ goal? Give ’em healthcare so we can kill ’em so we don’t have to give ’em health care?
Simple graft and control of the peasantry?
Wouldn’t you need a peasantry to control the peasantry? Killing them seems counter productive.
It isn’t about eugenics, it is about control. People spending their own money make their own choices. The more things are provided by the State the more the State controls. I don’t understand the need to always look for the hidden nefarious purpose. It isn’t hidden at all. Single payer at one blow doubles the share of the GDP the Federal Government controls
“It isn’t about eugenics, it is about control. People spending their own money make their own choices.”
I didn’t mean that it’s an intentional eugenics program. Unintended consequences is just part of what government control of things results in.
The poor are NOT going to get better healthcare because of socialized medicine. They’re going to get less healthcare because it is intentionally rationed to control costs.
Nationalized healthcare is a eugenics program. The goal is to kill poor people.
But it’s not intentional. it’s one of those rare unintentional ‘goals’.
^this^
Healthcare is right!
So a 95 year old with cancer will get all treatments available?
Woh now someone that age will be an unnecessary burden on the system we’ll give them some aspirin and hope they go fast.
You’ll get what some bureaucrat decides you’ll get, and like it. All for only 40-50% of your income.
Wait until the starry eyed millennials in the USA get the socialized medicine they all think is so great and find half of their next paycheck missing for their ‘free’ healthcare. Can’t afford that new BMW or newest iPhone now? Shut up, you have free healthcare!
The obvious solution is that the BMW and iPhone should also be free and financed by taxing the rich. I mean, duh. It’s like, so simple that even an idiot can figure this out.
A lot of lessons from China and Italy are being ignored.

Yeah, he doesn’t have a clue. He was ID’d and scoped out before he’d been in town a week. By week 2, every local informal chat network would have spread it to every local. They’ll go along and treat him like regular folks, as long as he keeps acting like regular folks. But they know who he is and at least roughly where he lives.
And those ‘gates’ on his community are perfect protection against the locals when he stops acting like regular folks. Well except the ones that entertain themselves shooting prairie dogs at 2000 meters. The walls are at least 2 klicks out from the house right?
Well, to be honest I have trouble imagining what he would do that would result in him needing protection from the regular folks’. He’d be far more likely just to be increasingly frozen out to varying degrees. This goes triple if he’s married.

My strength is that half the stuff I eat is weird shit that nobody else wants… While they’re clearing out the ground beef and bread, I’ll be stocking up on frozen squid, dry milk, sorghum flour, and anchovies.
What about liverwurst and olive loaf and tater tots?
Sounds good except the tater tots, just because I have a neurotic disdain for prepackaged food ever since I got into cooking.
… But liver is delicious and extremely healthy. Hell, I might see if my butcher has some of that in the freezer case. The other day there were six people waiting on just ground chuck because they couldn’t grind it as fast as people were buying it, but I sure didn’t see anyone ransacking the liver!!

So, Sleepy Joe debates Bernie Bae tonight. I’m surprised Biden’t handlers let him do it. I think the old commie is going to force Biden into a bunch of gaffes that really puts his dementia on display and the media will scramble to cover it up.
For all their abuse of MAGAtards and Trumpkins, they’re in the same boat, having to defend an aging lunatic from his humiliating gaffs, miscues, and ignorance.
Bernie’s idea’s suck and he’s unelectable, but he’s in much better mental health than Biden is at this point. It will be interesting just how much Biden will fuck up tonight, but you can be sure there will be plenty of gaffes for Twitter fodder.
At this point nothing Biden says will surprise me. Will he challenge Bernie to a push up contest, to compare IQs? He may even try to tough talk him a la the union worker gun guy. Should make for some interesting clips tomorrow at least.
It’s a big mistake for Biden: no upside.
Bernie: program X!
Biden: That’s a laudable goal and we all agree with the spirit of it, but we need to go slow, and the man to do that, someone who can compromise and reach across the aisle . . . I’m that guy.
Bernie: program Y!
Biden: That’s a laudable goal and ………..
If he does that all night, he’s toast.
Yep, he’s way ahead. What the hell are they thinking? If he wins he stays ahead, if he loses, and he will because he’s incoherent, he’ll be in trouble

And this should make the whole world – and especially this country – wake-up to the need for Universal Health Care of all and paid sick time for all. And perhaps it’s time to seriously look at a minimum guaranteed income for all. If people think that this virus is going to be a one-time thing, that there won’t be bigger, badder and uglier viruses to follow, they are truly, truly fooling themselves. The world – this planet – is changing and we humans better learn how to adapt or we won’t survive it.
Please, for the love of God, give it a rest.
Never let a good crisis go to waste.

Someone point out to Chris that Italy has exactly what he’s lobbying for.
Top heavy mustachioed women?
Mentioned earlier up thread was something about the lessons from China and Italy were not learned. Because everything reported out of China is a lie there is nothing actionable to know and do. Garbage in–>garbage out. Italy is better in terms of reporting but is terrible in terms of execution and they are in the midst of their worst day for new cases and death. No lesson there yet. (if only it had happened to the German’s or Brits first)
So what do we do…well it seems like reported cases of CV have about a 2 week lag between when the virus actually shows (it has a 2 week head start), but you can’t do anything drastic in a geographic area until you get some cases b/c no one will take you seriously. So we employ drastic measures based on known management of flu while being 2 week behind. Then cases pile up and we assume that the precautions and measures don’t work…Rinse and repeat.
What needs to happen is to have a “naive” and highly controlled population to test our precaution and drastic measures. See above prisons.
If Italy’s underfunded old age pensions start to balance….
Because we don’t test everybody and we started testing late because of bureaucratic rules, we actually have no idea if the virus is continuing to spread or not. It may have leveled off already — probably not but we don’t know.
But this is the thing that pisses me off. The people who are making these rules are also the ones who will decide if they are working or not. So they will declare success and pat themselves on the back.
We will never test everybody. These test kits are expensive, semi-unreliable and spinning them up is not a trivial exercise since this virus is new and nasty.
Is it really nasty? I realize it is deadly for those of us with health conditions but I am not getting why this is so “nasty”. I could be ignorant to the true deal here but I am not seeing a reason for the freakout. We have never freaked out and shut things down and closed restaurants, bars and liquor stores that I remember. I was working out of the country last big pandemic so I also may have a skewed memory.
I’m right there with you. I went up to Toronto back when the SARS scare was going on, and there was an upswing in people wearing masks. The shutting down of restaurants, bars, and schools at this level is just crazy to me. I was young, but I don’t remember this level of fear back when HIV was first spreading.
They didn’t close shit but I remember a lot of ‘what-if’ panic until they figured out that you had to at the minimum swap spit to pass it along. There was enough panic they didn’t want Magic Johnson playing B-ball, One comedian had a bit about how during a game Magic might inadvertently ass-fuck another player. I don’t remember the entire routine but “You hate to see that this early in the season” was one of the punchlines.
Actually, they (NYC, LA, etc) did close a number of venues. A lot of sex clubs that had been tolerated up until that point were now public health hazards.
AIDS was worse, because it was 100% fatal and incurable. And at the time there were all sorts of things said such as you could have it and be able to transmit it for two years before the first symptoms appeared.
For the H1N1 virus, in the first year 65+ million people and 12,000+ people died … in the US alone. And we did nothing like what we are doing for this.
What is different for this virus? I honestly don’t know.
This time we don’t want 12,000 people to die?
You’re going to be very disappointed I’m afraid. There will be more than 12 kilodeaths in the next couple of hours.
So my understanding is the Chicom were working with it in a BL4 lab (full gown-respirator, ect) setting which is same as they work with Ebola. Flu research is done at BL2 (mask, lab coat).
I think the CV in circulation is not a wild-type (Chicom’s lost control) and has been selected for research to be more robust and infect cells better…
Infect cells better for what? Giving healthy people a cold and killing off us smokers and old folks?
Some viruses require a high number or titer in order to infect a cell. Say a wild-type requires 1000 virus to infect a cell 90% of the time. Now you select for a virus that only requires 10 virus to infect a cell 90% of the time. That is 2 orders of magnitude more infective. Infection = disease state. Old people and smokers are more likely to have complications in a disease state.
Purely hypothetical example.
I stopped in at work to pick up the charger for my laptop.
They have sealed all but two of the entrances, and those are being staffed by people wearing universal precautions who took the temperature of my forehead before letting me pass.
The cafeteria has boxes of gloves anywhere a person might be tempted to touch something (silverware, napkin dispenser, salad bar, etc.)
This shit is getting ridiculous.
Oh, FFS.
I plan on sneezing on the boxes of gloves.
I have tires coming in and if they’re not at Walmart on Wednesday, I’m going to break social distancing protocols and hug a motherfucker.
Los Angeles is out of eggs. We wanted to buy them at Costco first. They only had organic eggs, so we didn’t buy them because as a rule we do not buy “organic” food. After that we tried to buy them at Vons, Walmart (2 stores), Whole Foods, CVS, a Latino supermarket, a seafood supermarket, Albertsons. All of them were out of eggs. Finally, I stopped at Target where they had organic eggs only. This time I bought a dozen–paying more than I would have paid at Costco for 24 eggs.
I bought eggs on Friday, mostly because I thought I only had one left at home. Turns out I already had a half dozen, so now I’ve got an even dozen, which is enough for two weeks.
Forgot to add that there didn’t seem to be a run on eggs yet where I was.
Since I’ll be WFH three days a week until the economy collapses completely, I’ll probably be cooking breakfast in the mornings. I should get more eggs.
I eat four eggs a day, and have 4 full cartons (as I always do because I prepare for the apoc-egg-lypse.
My boy Luke..say he can eat 50 egg..he eat 50 egg!
Ain’t nobody can eat fidty eggs.
You must be yolking.
*Throws Cadbury egg at Scruffy*
We have eggs down here in Orange County – I just went to Albertsons and the egg section was maybe 1/4 full with store-brand eggs (restocked since yesterday, when they were down to a handful of cartons of organic free-range brown eggs).
Also, bananas were back in stock.
Interesting, Britain is considering allowing people to get CV in a managed fashion in order to build herd immunity:
https://youtu.be/7Q9f1j3fvZ
A high risk (do we really get immunity once we get it and recover), high reward strategy for sure.
They stole my idea..Is it too late to ask Nancy P for that grant money?
I’m not positive but I think I heard an epidemiologist say you do get immunity.
There are some stories about people getting re-infected or testing positive after recovering. This is from China…

For the USA, looks like a death rate of about .2%. That’s pretty damn low. Even though Germany is 10 times lower, we have different demographics. Who knows, but for the first world, so far the hysteria seems way overdone.

Carnivore diet continues. This week, eliminating processed meats. Basically going to be unprocessed meat, avocado oil when required, salt, pepper.
Went to the grocery store yesterday about lunch time. There was no chicken. Like, none. They had pulled down the blind – type things over the poultry section. Fortunately, there’s meat in the freezer, and lots more on the woods.
Keep us updated on the poops!
Less frequent. Although yesterday and today I cheated and had some salad with lunch. Wrecked my insides both days.
I looked at all my canned goods and realized I was almost out of Fresh meat, plenty to buy so i did, and bought a Fifth of Bourbon, strictly for trade, I don’t do hard alcohol….
What did you get? I bought some Knob Creek today.
As part of the carnivore diet, I’ve given up regular beer and wine. I’m not a hard liquor guy, either, but found a tasty recipe for Keto Old Fashioneds.
In my quest to find the bourbon that I like best, so far Woodford Reserve is my favourite.
Second Woodford…that stuff is nice.
nope, just some Jim Beam, in the ZombieTime Humans won’t care about quality, except for LH, But He’s dead around here…

In theory.
Purely hypothetical.

It’s like spinach to my Popeye, it makes me the man I yam.
From my middle son: News said Trump is Hitler and wants to cancel elections and wants us to die. Then in the next breath, asking him to mobilize the military. Do they not see how idiotic they sound?
Me: Have a sip of beer.
DeBlasio cancelled a special election, so that makes *him* Hitler, right?
I told him Trump can cancel whatever he thinks he can, except in January, Pelosi will become president if thats the case. At least how I read the Constitution.
One of my clients found an infected person employee. Looks like WFH for at least the rest of this month. I will continue to sneak out of the house and get whatever necessities we need until the crisis passes. I feel bad for enjoying the crisis, but it is what it is.
Kid’s school is closed for at least two weeks (likely longer) and work put everyone on WFH for the foreseeable future. Totally cool with all of that. No need to leave the house except for food, and we’re stocked up pretty good on that.
In the same boat.
People who can work from home shouldn’t be commuting anyway. I’ve argued that for years with no success. They all want to save the planet and all that, but change scares the fuck out of them. There is NO, ZERO reasons why people who can telecommute shouldn’t be able to.
The office I go into specifically requested someone on site for support to help ease their fears and make sure they were getting heard. Once my daily contact there retired, I’ve dialed down the office days to two a week (with more if they want me on site for meetings). But it’s WFH for my company going forward (and most likely for the company I’m supporting). Odds are this is going to cause some real cultural changes for the standard office worker.
I’m seriously considering only telecommute clients from this point forward. My biggest client wants me on site 50% of the time, and I’m starting to regret it besides the great benefits and compensation. Time to make decisions and call bluffs is now.
So, I am at a point in my law life that probably 90% of the work I do is for prior clients and people I know outside of work (shockingly, firemen have wide array of legal problems…) and they don’t give shit where I work as long as the work gets done. But, my boss thinks it is important that I come to the office so the support staff sees me. They don’t give a shit if I’m there either.
“they don’t give shit where I work as long as the work gets done”
This is the way it should be. I worked for maybe 3-4 hours today. On a Sunday. Without leaving the house. The miracle of modern technology. But we’re still living in a system designed in the distant past.
Yeah, the Gov just cancelled school for the rest of March here in SC. As a lawyer, there really isn’t much I can do at the office that I can’t do from home (obvious exceptions…) as long as I can remote into my work computer. As a fireman, I still belong to the city for 24 hours every three days.
First of all, I’m jealous that you live in SC and I’m stuck in MD.
But just imagine being someone who can do 100% of their work remotely and still forced to drive to an office 2-3 days a week, for no reason.
I don’t need to imagine that. That’s my spousal unit’s situation (although she doesn’t go in that often).
Annoying as Hell.

I had a dream ages ago in which I was a bank teller working from home… I had a cash register sitting on the kitchen table in the house I rented.
Maybe the gig economy post-virus is we all do these shit jobs from home because we’re all connected and don’t mind looking like drug dealers working out of the house.
I hear Cali has cancelled the gig economy.
My buddy at work is dating a woman who does hospital billing from the house. Her virus plan is to pick up overtime hours since the office has been vacated and not everyone can work from home.
I work behind the scenes at a credit union, and I’m worried for our tellers and call center reps with school-aged kids, now that schools will be closed come Tuesday.
I started working at a credit union out of high school! I was there for years.
I wish I’d gone straight to college, tbh, I could be a J-school grad working for CNN damning all y’all to hell for being insufficiently woke.
What does a Glib do when told to go work from home? This.
It’s your fault what we did!
OK, look, you commie fucks, you fucked up. You didn’t already know what cowardly spineless neutered pussies US politicians are? I thought you guys were smart?
Fitbit is overpriced garbage.
I’m really tired of this crap. I’ve had to return 2 of these in the last year and now the 3rd one is failing already. The tap/swipe fails until the battery dies and I have to recharge it. I’m going to buy one of the $30 Chinese knockoffs. I hope it doesn’t some with the virus.
NewWife is constantly replacing hers as well; even the bracelets break routinely
Odd. Spousal Unit has had hers for eighteen months now, and loves it. It’s been rock-solid — so much so that I’m almost to the point of overcoming my natural cynicism and buying one for myself.
You’re lucky. Everyone I know who has one are complaining about the shit quality of the hardware for the price. The software is the best, but the hardware needs to be upgraded for the price.
Mine has been solid (Charge 2 for what’s it worth). Battery charge lasts for about a week (less if I’m tracking a walk/bike ride distance with it). I’ve skipped going with the Fitbit bands, and go for the cheap knock off ones at ~$8 each. I’ve had one of those break so far.
My Charge 3 has been solid, as well. The band broke after a year, but like Neph’ mentioned, that’s a cheap and easy fix.
Either of you found one that has a decent HR, BP feature, along with fairly accurate steps?
No BP on the Charge 3. The steps functions seems pretty darn accurate…except when driving. I’ll rack up hundreds of steps on my way to work. I mentioned this to a coworker who has one and she said hers never registers driving “steps”, so not sure what’s up with mine.
“I’ll rack up hundreds of steps on my way to work”
They all do this. But I don’t get hundreds, it’s just a few. The technology is not quite there yet to eliminate that.
Well, my drive is 50 miles, so there’s plenty of time to get into the hundreds.
When I was counting steps, I would just go into the app and delete all steps recorded during the time I was driving.
My original Fitbit was a piece of poo, one of the models they had to recall.
My Apple Watch has the same Fitbit features and more, and hasn’t let me down. I am especially fond of the “Stand!” Reminders and breathing exercises.

We have a contractor bitching about not having ceiling room to run ducts in this ostentatious building we analyzed (I work for a structural engineering firm). We gave them column sizes, beam sizes, joist sizes, etc… the one MEP document we got was a scan of a hand-drawn mechanical plan (in pen) on a print of our framing plan.

I’ve been trying to get back into full range of motion pull-ups recently. I have also been doing a Soviet lifting program in the gym. So when I found a Russian pull-up program last week I started that.
The difference with Soviet/Russian programs is doing reps/weight which is challenging but comfortable – not going to failure or close to it. Focus on form and full range of motion. And long breaks between sets – usually with other exercises in between.
And for full range of motion you have to touch the bar with your throat. That really does change things but it’s part of the program.
The pull-up routine is 5 sets spread over the day. Let’s say your “comfortable, not excessive” level is 5 reps. So your sets would be 5/4/3/2/1 reps the first day. Second day would be 5/4/3/2/2. Third day would be 5/4/3/3/2. Then 5/4/4/3/2, 5/5/4/3/2, then a rest day before bumping the max day – 6/5/4/3/2.
Unfortunately for me, I found I was only able to do 3 comfortably. So my reps were 3/2/2/1/1, 3/2/2/2/1, 3/2/2/2/2, 3/3/2/2/2, 3/3/3/2/2, 3/3/3/3/2, then a break day before 4/3/3/3/2.
Since I am home all day – watching my kids who are out of school and working from home, and have a pull-up bar in the stairway it isn’t too hard to step out and do a set 5 times a day.
Oh, and another point I got from a podcast with Pavel Tsatsouline – always tense the glutes and abs when doing pull-ups. I had been trying to do them with everything loose below the chest and that really doesn’t work.
You can get strong as shit crushing sub-max intensities with a lot of volume.
*looks up at pull up bar over bathroom door……sips cocktail
For me, one of the main points of Soviet/Russian strengthening routines is getting strong without stressing, thus avoiding injury. Doing pull-ups the way I had always been doing them ended up with injuries which meant I would have to stop and heal for a few weeks/months. Really hard to get any progress that way.
I read somewhere that when pulling up with arms..you should try pulling in at the same time. I think the AthleteX guy had a vid on it.
You know, in my entire life I don’t believe I’ve ever been tested for the flu. If I went to the doc they’d take a temp, look at the symptoms. So, unless I’m a complete outlier, how do we even have a death rate for the common flu except those who get symptoms bad enough to that they are hospitalized in the first place?
We have an assumed death rate which is ~0.1%.
I’ve been tested plenty of times before. They stick a really long swab down the back of your throat. It hurts like hell.
Got mine up my nose
I’ll die of flu, thanks.
I wouldn’t be shocked if coronavirus has been in the states since December and people were passing it off as a bad cold or Flu.
I wonder about this too. Obviously nobody was being tested for it so how would they know? It would still be a small enough number of people that I expect the system would just assume any deaths or severe cases were flu.
My parents were religious about flu shots. And they would always get sick with the flu every winter. I didn’t get it nearly as often as they did. So I’m agnostic about it. My wife takes them and she never gets sick.
I remember back in my 20s and 30s, I would get the flu and think it would kill me. I never get sick like that anymore even though I’m older. Wonder why that is? Modern sanitation in the first world?
I never get the flu shot. My wife gets it every year. She gets sick every year.
I’ve never had a flu shot. I had something that kept me in bed for three days about ten years ago that might have been the flu but who knows.
I started getting them when I was was an EMT, and it was required, then just kept doing it.
I get every vaccination they offer but the flu. Mostly because the city gives us random times to get the flu vaccine. “between 1236 and 1341on Thursday the 14th then between 0800 and 0819 on the 26th.”
I don’t do flu shots either. I loathe needles.
My doctor keeps trying to get me to do bloodwork and I keep ignoring him. Sooner or later he’s gonna get pissy.
“Sooner or later he’s gonna get pissy.”
As your customer, you get pissy with me, you’d better be OK with all your remaining customers.
I’m not taking any flu shots since I read this Atlantic article in 2009. It’s a very good article, though a long read. To summarize: flu vaccines are not like other vaccines, their efficacy is poor, blind studies of flu vaccines are not done.
“It is well known that… consensus… projected by experts… extrapolated… tidal irregularities suggesting unseen large bodies in orbit… which had transpired on tuesday of that week… bananas being no more than thirteen cents a pound for the remainder of the fiscal year 2003… cited repeatedly in the report submitted to the UN Security Council… the trail leading ultimately to the same small shack in the Bolivian jungle in which he had spent six years conducting his earlier research until November of 1979…”
First time I was ever tested for the flu was when I went in two years ago. Never before that.
Is it any small coincidence that this seems to have regained popularity in recent times?

“The EARN IT Bill Is the Government’s Plan to Scan Every Message Online
Imagine an Internet where the law required every message sent to be read by government-approved scanning software. Companies that handle such messages wouldn’t be allowed to securely encrypt them, or they’d lose legal protections that allow them to operate.
That’s what the Senate Judiciary Committee has proposed and hopes to pass into law. The so-called EARN IT bill, sponsored by Senators Lindsay Graham (R-SC) and Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), will strip Section 230 protections away from any website that doesn’t follow a list of “best practices,” meaning those sites can be sued into bankruptcy. The “best practices” list will be created by a government commission, headed by Attorney General Barr, who has made it very clear he would like to ban encryption, and guarantee law enforcement “legal access” to any digital message.”
