TRACKING DONE!
I'll put up pandemic articles from both sides because my views are mine and mine only. I don't print stuff just because I agree with it. I'm not even a Republican or Democrat. I hate politics. So any opinions I gave out on this previously on economy first were not made from a political standpoint but strictly economic. We are older so not like we are not at risk. So it isn't a selfish position to hold IMO. I don't think people understand what life would be like for most if economy crumbles. So let's just hope for the best for hardest hit (N.Y). And no second wave (like Spanish flu where second wave was worse (Influenza though) in states where count is low (AZ and others) and re-opening slowly. The politicians as a whole have been reprehensible thru this IMO. Bipartisan shit every turn. One set of rules for them and one for us. FUK YOU!
Knock on wood but only change to my life is wife works at home now. Only inconvenience to me was wife had to cut my hair. She did a good job twice but am looking forward to a nice cut. Ummmmmmmm wife not happy with hair and facial stuff. She can't wait but has done facial stuff herself and just let hair be. Hair gal and facial gal both small business owners who called her already and made it thru so far due to some assistance. AZ made sure everyone had Paper Towels and Toilet Paper which people thought was going to be the next precious commodity.......LOL. Simply limit one package of each per person. Go at 7 AM and plenty at our store.
We know one person here in AZ who got it and came out O.K. In California friend of Mom's got it she is fine now. Only one death so far of someone we knew directly. We do have one family member who didn't check in on Thanksgiving and Christmas like usual. It's a long and sad story but not unusual for him to disappear for awhile. With the pandemic and not hearing from him my Mom is very worried. For her sake I hope she she hears from him soon.
Otherwise that's it. Just sitting fingers crossed.
6/8 As count here grows so does the # of people we know who have it. Two in hospital now and others quarantined 14 days.
8/8 Still only one death of people we know. Otherwise everyone we know who came up positive is O.K. so far.
8/9 Aunt and Uncle in Florida got it. Quarantine ended and they are both O.K. Their experience is private.
8/26 June/July/Aug we have known about 10 who came down with it and came out O.K. other than the one death. They are friends and not family. Hate to pepper people with questions after something like that. Kinda personal.
So 2 family members thru 8/26 so far in an extensive family and we are hanging in there.
8/11 Wife's best friend lost 2 members of family. One late 40 and other 50. Had a video wake as they have a large family. Then she was back at work.
9/18 Of course we have known others who have got it in past month. No deaths except those already mentioned.
Family wise same just an Aunt and Uncle who did O.K.
No good news on missing family member. Maybe at the end I'll get into it. My Mom is crushed. She just seems to know something very wrong but seems paralyzed emotionally. I talk to her everyday and she knows who Clevfan is (who graciously offered to help another Mom). Yet she does not seem to want the finality. Sigh. I can just be there if she needs me.
9/18. Up to the flu season still only two family members got it and came out O.K. We know more than a few who had to go thru quarantine. These were previously healthy people with no pre conditions and came out of it all with different stories. This thing seems to affect people in many ways.
Missing family member has not turned up. I don't have a good feeling. Sigh.

In Maricopa County alone, 70% of the total COVID-19 deaths have been among residents of long-term care facilities, an umbrella term that includes nursing homes, assisted living, hospice and rehabilitation centers.The federal government on May 8 began requiring nursing homes that receive Medicare and Medicaid funding to report weekly the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases and deaths.

Follow along comments:
4/8 Business resumed Friday. Let's see what happens. I mean we just had our highest death count a few days ago. So not expecting rainbows.
Not bad but let's give it some time with re-openings etc. There was still no traffic all last week. So not much activity first week of re-opening.
7/20 All you see is articles about how we never should of opened. I was on other side but could not really find articles by respected sources saying everyone should open. I looked. I was for re-opening thinking it would happen slow and safely. Never make predictions dealing with politicians. I also didn't expect the negligence we saw from 30-50 year olds. The thing I do understand somewhat but can't delve into is naturally we have many home care deaths here. Natural as they are vulnerable. Another aspect is if you are your in a big building and your Ducts are over 20 years old and you get Covid in there you are cooked. Constant battle to keep safe readings. Along with 20 years of other build up they gotta deal with Covid. You won't escape it in that atmosphere. JMO from what I've seen. There was still no traffic or lines anywhere even before we shut down again.
8/4 Fauci commented on ventilation today. Common sense being outside better than breathing re filtered air. Didn't add much more than that except the bigger the tougher duct wise. Just natural and can’t be avoided.
8/6 Things got away from everyone so fast in N.Y. What happened after that others can argue. Have to deal with it and see where we go from here. Moving on and try to fight thru it.
8/6 AZ trending nicely AT THIS POINT. Need deaths to stay down. On 65+ plus age deaths I am unable to nail down a nursing home #s.
8/26 Things seem to be stabilizing past few weeks case and death wise. Flu season starts in Sept here in AZ. We have shots appointment Sept 2nd. So this is going to run into the flu season. I will do 4 more weekly updates till Sept and end it. I'll take info and print out final stuff. Seems a good place to end it. Going to be confusing after that with flu season coming.
THAT'S IT AND GOOD LUCK. HERE COMES FLU SEASON.
I'll put up pandemic articles from both sides because my views are mine and mine only. I don't print stuff just because I agree with it. I'm not even a Republican or Democrat. I hate politics. So any opinions I gave out on this previously on economy first were not made from a political standpoint but strictly economic. We are older so not like we are not at risk. So it isn't a selfish position to hold IMO. I don't think people understand what life would be like for most if economy crumbles. So let's just hope for the best for hardest hit (N.Y). And no second wave (like Spanish flu where second wave was worse (Influenza though) in states where count is low (AZ and others) and re-opening slowly. The politicians as a whole have been reprehensible thru this IMO. Bipartisan shit every turn. One set of rules for them and one for us. FUK YOU!
Knock on wood but only change to my life is wife works at home now. Only inconvenience to me was wife had to cut my hair. She did a good job twice but am looking forward to a nice cut. Ummmmmmmm wife not happy with hair and facial stuff. She can't wait but has done facial stuff herself and just let hair be. Hair gal and facial gal both small business owners who called her already and made it thru so far due to some assistance. AZ made sure everyone had Paper Towels and Toilet Paper which people thought was going to be the next precious commodity.......LOL. Simply limit one package of each per person. Go at 7 AM and plenty at our store.
We know one person here in AZ who got it and came out O.K. In California friend of Mom's got it she is fine now. Only one death so far of someone we knew directly. We do have one family member who didn't check in on Thanksgiving and Christmas like usual. It's a long and sad story but not unusual for him to disappear for awhile. With the pandemic and not hearing from him my Mom is very worried. For her sake I hope she she hears from him soon.
Otherwise that's it. Just sitting fingers crossed.
6/8 As count here grows so does the # of people we know who have it. Two in hospital now and others quarantined 14 days.
8/8 Still only one death of people we know. Otherwise everyone we know who came up positive is O.K. so far.
8/9 Aunt and Uncle in Florida got it. Quarantine ended and they are both O.K. Their experience is private.
8/26 June/July/Aug we have known about 10 who came down with it and came out O.K. other than the one death. They are friends and not family. Hate to pepper people with questions after something like that. Kinda personal.
So 2 family members thru 8/26 so far in an extensive family and we are hanging in there.
8/11 Wife's best friend lost 2 members of family. One late 40 and other 50. Had a video wake as they have a large family. Then she was back at work.
9/18 Of course we have known others who have got it in past month. No deaths except those already mentioned.
Family wise same just an Aunt and Uncle who did O.K.
No good news on missing family member. Maybe at the end I'll get into it. My Mom is crushed. She just seems to know something very wrong but seems paralyzed emotionally. I talk to her everyday and she knows who Clevfan is (who graciously offered to help another Mom). Yet she does not seem to want the finality. Sigh. I can just be there if she needs me.
9/18. Up to the flu season still only two family members got it and came out O.K. We know more than a few who had to go thru quarantine. These were previously healthy people with no pre conditions and came out of it all with different stories. This thing seems to affect people in many ways.
Missing family member has not turned up. I don't have a good feeling. Sigh.

Friday, June 26
• “We can expect our numbers will be worse next week and the week after,” Gov. Doug Ducey said Thursday about the coronavirus pandemic in Arizona. Ducey went on to defend indoor political rallies in which thousands gather without wearing masks, while simultaneously warning that bars and restaurants that don't adhere to social distancing rules could face misdemeanors. 'People's rights to assemble are not going to be infringed in Arizona in an election year or any year,' Ducey said in a news conference. He brushed aside questions about how requiring people to wear masks in public — which is now the law in Phoenix and throughout Pima County — interferes with their right to assemble.

The US’s new surge in coronavirus cases, explained
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/th...ob2?li=BBnb7Kz
There’s some debate about whether this is the “second wave” of infections, or whether it’s a continuation of the first wave that began in early 2020 and never really ended. But what’s clear is the US is now suffering from a rapid rise in coronavirus cases. So far, that’s yet to translate to a rising death toll, likely because rises and falls in deaths tend to lag behind rises and falls in overall cases.
https://theconversation.com/compare-...diction-138895
Spanish Flu and H1N1 were influenzas, and had multiple waves. The previous coronaviruses had no second wave.

4/8 Business resumed Friday. Let's see what happens. I mean we just had our highest death count a few days ago. So not expecting rainbows.
Not bad but let's give it some time with re-openings etc. There was still no traffic all last week. So not much activity first week of re-opening.
7/20 All you see is articles about how we never should of opened. I was on other side but could not really find articles by respected sources saying everyone should open. I looked. I was for re-opening thinking it would happen slow and safely. Never make predictions dealing with politicians. I also didn't expect the negligence we saw from 30-50 year olds. The thing I do understand somewhat but can't delve into is naturally we have many home care deaths here. Natural as they are vulnerable. Another aspect is if you are your in a big building and your Ducts are over 20 years old and you get Covid in there you are cooked. Constant battle to keep safe readings. Along with 20 years of other build up they gotta deal with Covid. You won't escape it in that atmosphere. JMO from what I've seen. There was still no traffic or lines anywhere even before we shut down again.
8/4 Fauci commented on ventilation today. Common sense being outside better than breathing re filtered air. Didn't add much more than that except the bigger the tougher duct wise. Just natural and can’t be avoided.
8/6 Things got away from everyone so fast in N.Y. What happened after that others can argue. Have to deal with it and see where we go from here. Moving on and try to fight thru it.
8/6 AZ trending nicely AT THIS POINT. Need deaths to stay down. On 65+ plus age deaths I am unable to nail down a nursing home #s.
8/26 Things seem to be stabilizing past few weeks case and death wise. Flu season starts in Sept here in AZ. We have shots appointment Sept 2nd. So this is going to run into the flu season. I will do 4 more weekly updates till Sept and end it. I'll take info and print out final stuff. Seems a good place to end it. Going to be confusing after that with flu season coming.
THAT'S IT AND GOOD LUCK. HERE COMES FLU SEASON.
