<div dir="ltr">Howdy,<div><br></div><div>Given the apparent near total lack of testing, I'm not putting much faith in 'reported case' #'s. And, like others have said, I think when the CDC, WHO, and the politicians are all saying "this is serious, stop fucking around" then I'm going to take it seriously and stop fucking around.<br><br>We've been avoiding contact with the outside world since Thursday. Prior to that we were doing the washing of hands / sanitizer things for a few days. Right now I think we have enough food to not have to leave the house for another week anyway, perhaps longer, and I have no plans to do that. Complicating that a little bit is that Ohio has an election tomorrow... maybe. The Governor tried to delay it today at 4pm, was shot down in court at 7pm after many news outlets reported it as a done deal, and apparently is going to appeal. I do know that I won't be going to the polls and will be doing everything I can to prevent my wife from going. There's nothing on the ballot as pressing as keeping us alive and a 1% or 5% or 1/2% chance of death is more risk than I want to take even if I totally discount all of the other aspects of trying to slow the spread of the virus.<br><br>Mark</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Mar 16, 2020 at 9:13 PM Bob Kegel via Shop-talk <<a href="mailto:shop-talk@autox.team.net">shop-talk@autox.team.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div lang="EN-US"><div class="gmail-m_8100400459044104255WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal">I’m a two-hour drive from Ground Zero, on the coast.
