City slickers are using VT as their virus hideout

I’ll have Rick Singer send over my ham radio credentials in the morning, to supplement my application!

If my vote was the only one to count you would all be in. Unfortunately for you I'm not the only vote. So far, everything mentioned, we already have. If you have a helicopter, tank, or a rocket launcher that woul really put you at the top of the list. We have someone with a blasters license so covered there.

I probably have enough liquor to trade for a helicopter- definitely enough for a couple rocket launchers. I may even have  a guy for that.

Did I mention I can weld? I'm also trained in hand to hand combat! I also come equipped with a rather large Guard dog and a 4wd pickup truck with SNOW TIRES, superior camouflage skills, hunting/fishing/ farming skills, I can also do all the following: sitework, concrete, framing, siding, roofing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, interior finishes (sheetrock, taping, painting, tiling, flooring, finish carpentry, trim etc.)
I know how to back a trailer up and fell a tree! I understand why firewood needs to be cut/split/ stacked for 12 months!
I LIKE SNOW AND EVERYTHING ABOUT IT! including snow removal.

Hell, I don't even have COVID-19 yet!

Chuck Norris calls ME when he can't fix something!

Haha!  My kids were asking yesterday what Foo, exactly, the Foo Fighters are fighting.

Made me want to look up the old joke about “if the Foo shits, wear it”.

The "Foo" bird

The moral of this story is: 'If the Foo shits, wear it.'".

Where did you come up with this crazy shit?

Glad you enjoyed it!?

That’s been around for a long time.  One of the jokes my father liked back in the 80s.

Now that you have me thinking about jokes my father liked (he died in the 80s) I might go look up ‘Three Artie Chokes for a Dollar’!

Florida putting a stop to NYC / NJ fleeing to Florida

Only by plane... And this comes from a guy who wouldn't close beaches a few days ago.

Do you think with this precedent NYS can quarantine out of state skiers next season... Hell - I'd just settle for restricting Jersey drivers

In his defense, spring break is a big deal for some Florida towns. After that the tourist season slows down, especially with Disneyland closed, so the cost/benefit proposition turned around in those few days.

Yeah big change from FL Gov
 the beach in Clearwater was not socially distanced at all from the video I saw.

My company is in that area and the people I talked to said those all were tourist because locals don’t go in the water this time of year

They have had surprisingly very few cases though which might mean warmer temps and humid conditions will make this all calm down I hope

A few more days.....

Then NYS should've gone 1 more day to squeeze in St Patrick's day?

The “we needed the revenue from spring break” isn’t really a defense at all.  It’s been confirmed that multiple people who attended spring break events in Florida have tested positive for COVID-19.  How many additional people did they infect while there, and then when all those people went home how many more did they infect?  Poor choice to keep those events going just for the economic benefit.  It’s like Amity Island keeping the beaches open knowing there was a killer Great White hunting in the waters!  We have gotten a kick out of watching many spring breakers who were interviewed being lambasted on social media, including Michael Dell tweeting in response to one of the videos “please tell all the kids in this video not to apply for jobs at Dell USA”!

Apparently 80 year olds are no more responsible than 18 year olds, as my snow bird aunt, who lives in a neighborhood with a lot of other older people, carried on with her annual St. Patrick’s day party.

My daughter is in healthcare in a CNY hospital. She told me today that they are preparing to take people from down state and the City. One way or the other - the hordes are coming.

Of those I know, the 80 + individuals are taking this less seriously then anybody

I am assuming that lower acuity cases will be transferred and save metro beds for Covid 19 patients until capacity is exceeded , nothing more than a hunch .
