    Against my better judgment and several beers deep, I have taken you up on this, potentially ending my streak of totally worthless posts. I have done 3 and 7 day averages only on the Worldometer data.

Just found out my former assistant died. 60 or so.  Previous cancer but otherwise  healthy as far as I knew.  Haven’t seen her in a couple of years but still a shock.

I’ll swim in the Red River, but I won’t drink from it.

My wife's aunt is in the same boat.  Dropped off at the front door of MD and wheeled back.  No buddies allowed.  On the upside, it saves on parking, which isn't insignificant.  

You're not kidding about the parking. It's convenient, but boy does it add up. @Johnny Sack glad she is doing better. It's good news.

SIL’s dad isn’t going to make it through the night. He’s elderly and has cancer already, C19 is just an extra kick to the balls. She and I have been close since college, she’s the baby and it seems like her parents have been old for 30 years. Sucks.

Read an article earlier about the highest death rate per capita and the GA situation was traced back to a funeral that a person without symptoms attended and unknowingly spread to a bunch of people. New Orleans is Mardi Gras related. 
 

Some supply chain discussions going on here and as someone who works in supply chain for category that was one of the first to be run on, things have calmed down considerable this last week with customers even canceling orders or rerouting them due to overfill and space concerns. That has been a relief because the last 4 weeks were like a hurricane for our network that was hitting all states at once.

Non essential  items were seeing their own run now from what I heard so watch out for the Little Debbie and Oreo supplies lol.

Interesting point about Sysco. I have them as an account. They have roughly 40M sq feet of warehouse space in the Us and to offset mainline (foodservice) losses they are distributing to grocery.

There is a lot of spare food out there.

That's relatively accurate but it requires an industry pivot.  You are correct that there is plenty of food but it's produced and packaged differently for food service vs. retail.  That's why you're seeing short term outages on the retail side.

An aunt of mine was hospitalized there for the better part of the last year for bile duct cancer.  The parking was among the largest of the expenses.

Also why you’re seeing restaurants sell take home packages of meat eggs and veggies. They see an opportunity to move their supplies to the public direct at a somewhat inflated price, but I don’t blame them they have to stay in business too.

I assume COVID-19 related? I think we're going to all know someone who was taken by this before it's over

Did the same. Paid her for the month and sent her with whatever food she wanted. Damn I miss her. Fucking Roomba is just not the same.

Are they charging Jerry World parking prices at MD Anderson?  I’ve had my fair share of hospitalized relatives the last few years, at many hospitals across dfw, and I’ve never thought the parking was out of hand.

Not Surly 1% or anything.  But really want her to stay home and survive this thing so we can have a long relationship of her cleaning my house.  She's amazing.

My Uncle was disabled (Polio).  So he was doing the valet thing.  So thousands of dollars in his case.  My Aunt's husband is older and has knee problems.  So assume similar in their case.

I'll check the Nest doorbell cam and get back to you.  Otherwise, I'll snap a shot of the baseboards.

Same. I want them to still be in business and several people's jobs and livelihoods depend on it, but I don't want them in my home right now

#29679

Wife also still sending housekeeper weekly checks without services rendered. I’d be fine with it if wife was filling in for her, but that ain’t happening yet

Mine responded like it wasn't out of the ordinary.  So, hopefully, her other clients are doing things similarly.

Same. Tried to get the SBA loan to cover but household help specifically excluded. So just paying her out of pocket for now.

Been tipping 50% on all takeout and have paid several weeks of no housekeeping. She came yesterday in mask and gloves and gave her 50% over her rate. You’re not virtuous when you do the bare minimum you could do and brag about it on a fucking message board. You’re slorch. 

if you dont have the means, forgo the services. 

these folks are risking their lives for you, plus they may give you some cov 19

get in that kitchen

Well I have been tipping random Grub Hub drivers who aren’t even delivering anything for me.  So I guess I am the most virtuous and you all are doing the bare minimum.

#29695

I'm throwing Benjamins to the out of work Sugar's girls without asking for anything in return so don't any of y'all talk to me about virtue.

Haha. Tip shaming.

Fuck off.  Bare minimum would have been not ordering from a local joint at all,  and shitty minimum would have been not tipping at all because "they didn't serve us."

 

Wasn't bragging.  It was a joke during shitty times.  High horse denied.
