And Texas Caves In
The last bastion of sanity has jumped on the "stay at home" bandwagon. They just sent me an email that they have closed all state parks to save the 1% who may die from the dreaded super virus. Texas...

For those who say wait until it hits us: Oregon had its first case in mid to late February, ahead of most other areas of the country. It’s not spreading like wildfire and wasn’t even before we shut everything down on March 23rd. Quite some time ago there were news headlines of a single student in each of 2 schools who was found to have it. Nothing more was ever reported again about those schools or any other students from them.
The hospitals around here are emptier than usual since all elective procedures have been canceled. It’s ironic that we can’t get preventative care for exactly the opposite reason as folks in NY. That alone will cause some future suffering and death. That scan or test that got pushed off may have been the early detection that would have saved your life. Every action taken, no mater how simple, obvious or noble it may seem will have repercussions that are difficult to quantify.
So while I can agree the consequences of this virus for some are quite severe, it sure doesn’t seem like it’s the super contagious, super villain it was first made out to be. Reasonable measures should be taken and what is needed in one community may not be needed in others.
I hope everyone comes out of this ok, even the name-callers. Peace and thanks for keeping it civil for the most part. I appreciate all of the opinions, stories and discussion.
