Mark Cuban owner of the Dallas Mavericks is continuing to pay all of his employees and also picking up the bill for any of his employees that order take out food as an incentive to help the restaurant industry.

I believe he's providing food for Healthcare workers but I'm not sure how that works. Still Good Stuff.

Yes, he appears to be a good guy.

Yes it's a good thing. I imagine he is taking a beating right now.



Gilmer -> RE: The Positive Corona Virus Thread. (3/25/2020 12:10:29 AM)

Well, condolences to Red2112. I am truly sad you have to go through this.

We don't have any in our family sick. My parents both died fairly young, so no worries about them getting this. My mom died at 71 back in 2008 and my dad died back in 1997 at 62.

I have 1 brother and 2 sisters. Supposedly all are healthy, and their kids. Maybe this might cheer you up. My nephew may break up with his baby momma (fiancee, although not sure that is even her status anymore). She likes guys and girls and decided this weekend she wanted to date girls again so broke up with him. They got back together again long enough for her father to break my brother's weedeater. DRAMA. Please don't think I am saying this is more important than what you all are going through. It's more of a lighthearted story hopefully you can laugh a little about [:)].

Manny Pacquiao is working in the neighborhood he grew up in, helping out. He says he can't let them down.

My state is going to be really hot weatherwise and supposedly that helps fighting this. I'm still working. We have a kind of "don't go out and don't go work" order from the governor, but I work for the state and we are allowed to keep working. 1 week WFH, 1 week in the office assisting citizens (Don't hate me I work in the tax section - but I only audit large corporations).

A couple of years ago, I went through losing my job twice and everyone here was great to me. I hope my stories help you feel better. I really like this community and it hurts to hear people suffering.



ringoblood -> RE: The Positive Corona Virus Thread. (3/25/2020 12:27:29 AM)

well I'm glad to see this thread started. My mom is in day 7 of isolation she also has infected and is in the hospital. I myself am at home in lockdown in PA. just outside of NY where the Hot zone is. Everything is pretty shutdown, accept delivery services, and medical. Pretty much sit and wait on the Gov. order to reopen the eastern part of State and Trump's next move National.

When Andrew Carnegie sold his businesses, he had a pile of money. He wanted to give $300,000,000 away. He gave $400,000,000. He helped fund over 1,000 local libraries. Like he told someone who told him that this other person had a lot of money, Carnegie's response was something like "What are you going to do with it?"

Feel free to laugh at me but I'm spending today trying to learn how to sew from my mother so that I can make us some homemade surgical masks to wear. I found instructions on YouTube:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqlmDf6_hsY&feature=emb_logo

Of course, the lady in the video is confused about how to use the masks, you don't turn them around to use the other side, that's not why you use two different distinct patterns or colors. But I guess everything else about the video is OK, as far as how to make the masks.

You could get some ladies undergarments, cut them up, attach some straps for around the head, and enjoy. Just make sure that you get the right size cups . . .

LOL! I know, right? They sort of look similar. I'll post a pic of my first completed one in a little while. [:D]



Pvt_Grunt -> RE: The Positive Corona Virus Thread. (3/25/2020 6:34:30 PM)

Another observation (it's something I do )

The young guys at my work have stopped getting haircuts (or delaying them)

Their hair is usually well looked after and kept very tight as is the fashion (unlike my '90s generation [:o])

I have started calling this new men's hairstyle "The Corona"

And now that I've noticed it I'm seeing it everywhere! Look out for the new fashion (and sorry to the barbers who would now be struggling..)

Good name for the hairstyle. I like it!

I haven't had mine cut in 2 years, letting it grow long

This is very encouraging news! The U.K. has downgraded Covid-19.

Just stopped by to share a link with all you gamers; an interview with a recently retired USMC General now managing a wholesale grocery distributor - now an “essential” task of course:

https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2020/03/military-general-restocking-grocery-store-america-afghanistan/608626/


Me? I plant trees for a living so I just moved out onto camping on a planting site for ten days or so. I somewhat doubt the seedling nurseries will still be able to supply my next job, though for now they are keeping ops going under the ‘Agriculture’ flag though no food production is involved. Though I often work alone on remote jobsites, I also expect there will be stronger travel restrictions by the time I need to move on. As temps warm, planting results decline, and a serious enemy always appears and declares war on my efforts: bugs. Not looking forward to virus impacts giving them a leg up on me.

I need a haircut, but am letting it go. And my hair when long is glorious. I need to start blowdrying it again, though.



USSAmerica -> RE: The Positive Corona Virus Thread. (3/26/2020 12:41:08 PM)

Barber shops, hair salons, spas, and massage parlors are all ordered closed in these parts. Everyone is working on their new "Corona" hairstyle here. [:D]

Praying for you and your sister. And the world. Truly sorry for your losses.

It's light humour, and that was all I was thinking here.

Sabine is also one of the smartest persons on YouTube (normally she's doing astrophysics).

Salute going out to all the schmucks out there (you know who you are), that are doing those little things that make a difference. Like going to a buddy's place who has no one just so their buddy ain't doing this event alone. Picking up something at the store for someone who for a dozen possible reasons might not be able to do it. To just smiling and being friendly to those out there in essential work, because all too often, they have to deal with people who ain't smiling or being friendly.

We all know we have to be appreciative for the obvious people, but try to recognize the efforts of those who are making this hassle, less of a burden.

Does giving the neighbor's 2 year old boy and his 8 year old sister chocolate count? [:D]



MrRoadrunner -> RE: The Positive Corona Virus Thread. (3/26/2020 7:21:38 PM)

How about giving a few rolls of toilet paper to a friend in need?

This time of year the Dogwood trees bloom with white flowers. If you don't have these trees in your state or country, here is what they look like. It's quite pretty and some even bloom pink. Then when they are ready they drop the flowers to the ground, creating a surreal carpet of fluffy petals. If it gets windy enough we are treated to a beautiful swirling petal storm!
