Stay in your truck...

[Braveheart]

Seems like a new policy nearly daily.

You're no longer allowed to exit your truck at the location I'm delivering grain to. NO EXCEPTIONS!

gentlemen... it wont be long and you physically will not be allowed on the premises. Or perhaps more likely, the workers will not be allowed to come in to work.

F*ck it... let's all go home and netflix and quarantine. I swear its quickly becoming a competition to see how quickly we can drive GDP to 0.

I dont even know what to think anymore.

The supposed cure is going to make us wish we just let this thing burn unhindered!

Hope your elevator crew sweeps the scale. Richardsons in Killarney usually have at 4 people leaning on a desk watching me sweep the scale myself. Sleepfest.

I don’t get it, what’s so difficult about
Staying in your truck? This is what has
To be done to keep the elevators open.
And get in front of this thing.
Seeing now certain doctors will be at
Different set up locations than the hospitals
To test suspected infections. Right on!!
Somebody reading agriiville?

It is a worry about fert and Chemicals.
But until it happens or if nothing we can
Do w was xcept these things that keep
Workers safe.

Seeing lots of good deeds being done
Which is encouraging. We take a box of
The necessities once a week to an older
Couple afraid to go to shop due to asthma
Problem. Not a big deal glad to help out.

Seeding 2020, now cancelled!

Well no, we are an essential service. It will be seeding as "normal", just expect no hugs at the crop inputs supplier or elevator.

This will be months long - maybe longer, so hang in there. But a farm is an ideal place to be - just let no one on the property, ever. Stay home.

Exercise at least some daily, go for a brisk walk. Eat healthy and don't drink alcohol, no smoking. Give your body a fighting chance, most of us are old and the numbers aren't pretty. Plan on no vaccine for 12 to 18 months at least so hunker down for the long haul.

Hugs? I’m usually bent over when I pickup chemical or deliver grain. I’m screwed....

No booze or smoke, now that's a little drastic.

Seriously though, first death here in ICU on the 12th. So infected early March. Think about that. More to come.
ATB closing to public tomorrow. On line only. No milk or bread in store. Everyone shopping local.
Reminds me of my Dad every day.
Child of Depression. He used to say "everyone in same boat" so no one felt worse off than the next guy. Strange feeling but applies today. Humbling.
So be mindful of those worse off.
And rock on.

First off it is treatable. Check the latest reports on chlorquinone. Of course it won't be available in Canada until it goes through 14 years of rat, cat, bat and finally human trials.

Secondly, WTF do you think is going to happen at the end of this? We can't stay hunkered down for the next 14 years. Someday we have to come out of our caves and then what? We get infected and die?

This is a relatively minor flu. It's probably worse than the flu we are used to but its the flu ferchrisakes. If our Prime Minister had even one ball and wasn't hiding under his desk playing Pokemon he might be able to explain that to us. As it is I'm not sure what we're waiting for because the end game - at least according to the chicken littles - is that we all die anyway. Our "Health Minister" is a graphics designer. I'm sure she's had fun making graphics about flattening the curve but otherwise WTF has she done?

Only aecdotal evidence so far and the wrong dose can give you a heart attack. Sounds promising and there are lots of Guinea pigs. There other anti viral so we might get lucky.

Anti viral might work but it probably won't stop lung damage and may only help the healthier population. Us seniors might survive but not do well. But I am not a scientific genius like Trump or Pence.

We have administered a complete prevention program on our farm. Self isolation and twice daily Tequila shots. Also helps moral. Someone might have to risk a trip to town once the shelf gets empty!

Or Trudeau..... lmao 😂

It's really good to see most people accepting this for what it really is, a pandemic that can kill so many so fast if let run wild. There will always be a few grumpy stragglers who see this as a hoax. I'm not part of combine forum but do read it, holy cow, there seems to be a high number of angry old men all of a sudden yelling "get off my lawn", just flaming those who try.

I don't think they realize that if the hospital ventilators are overrun with covid cases, they can't fix heart attacks, traffic accidents, a million other reasons to end up in icu, and an icu that is already quite full, so many will die. Ugh, what a mess. At least its not 1918. i hope they come around.

One big plus, people are remembering how important food is, maybe anyway for a little while.
