She came home and stood in the driveway as her husband packed a suitcase and off she went. She is unsure how long they want her to quarantine or when they plan to test her.

It all comes down to risk management and mitigation. You can put controls around HOW you meet with people to sell/buy parts/cars and those people should follow those.

For those lower risk states (currently) that might be less restriction/masks/etc. We can bitch at people all day about exposing others and all that but at the end of the day people will take whatever risks THEY are comfortable with.

Now THAT brings to mind a back-in-the-day story of the year I worked in Chicago. I was working for IITRI (Illinois Institute of Technology Research Institute) located in the South side of Chicago on 35th St. Yep, right across the street from one of the notorious Chicago "Projects" (Stateway Gardens).

I remember my first day at work. I flew in from Saint Louis and took a limo to IITRI. After a long day, the secretary to the VP of Research told me she had made reservations for me at a hotel inside The Loop.

She said to get on the train at the station (about 100 yards away) to go directly inside the Loop. OK, I go to checkout for the day and one of the two armed guards at the exit took my ID badge and asked me if I wanted an armed escort to the train platform (100 yards away mind you).

Even as I looked at the fresh "bullet marks" on the bullet proof glass of the front entrance, I declined their offer. So, dressed in my 3 piece suit and carrying my large carry on, I quickly walked over to the train platform and got on the next train to inside the loop.

Well, I hadn't done my homework very well and hopped off the train too soon and found myself still on the South Side in a rough part of town. I didn't see any cabs so I started walking the few blocks to my hotel. I hadn't gotten very far when a police car pulled up and the officers asked me if I was lost.

I explained the deal and they insisted that I get into the back of their cruiser and they would give me a ride to my hotel. They explained that they had better things to do later on, than to come back and pick up what was left of me -


THE END

Since there seems to be a lot of canadians in here, do you guys know anything about border crossings now? I'm looking to see niagara falls soon and will cross from michigan and drive east. What about the hotel situation? Would anyone like to meet up in real life or anything?

From what I've seen the border is closed to nonessential traffic until 6/21.

Many years ago 60s ( not the muffler) Was heading home across Canada from RPI with an architectural model in the back of the car. Got to the border to Canada and was stopped by a young man. He took me into the interrogation room, and started to grill me about witch government building I was planning to blow up. In there for well over an hour with the same story about my project for design class, but to no avail. Finally an old guy walks in and says "Nice model, you kids from RPI do great work. Was this a full year project?" The young guy made up some story about how I looked suspicious. Got to Detroit and the customs guy asked if I had a nice time in Canada, told him just great.

I thank you for your dedication.

Some will say "empty hospitals" = sham. I would hope they call it a sham, because an empty hospital was the entire goal of all this stay at home restriction.

My friend's uncle and aunt left for Peru in early Feb. Got on a return cruise in early March, ended up at sea 3+ weeks due to no ports allowing them to disembark. They finally got to Miami, and due to politics and FL being absolute ****wads they got stuck several days while in port.

Both of them got COVID-19 while waiting to get off the ship, his uncle died within 24 hours of getting off the ship. His aunt survived but this should have never happened.

COVID-19 isn't a joke, but as long as we can joke about empty ER beds and unused resources I'll continue to accept it, because the alternative is a lot more dead bodies and very sick people.

Interesting. Very interesting. Glad I stumbled into this shithole of a thread.

That’s really a shame and shows how selfish you are as a “first responder.” Why selfish? For most first responders it ends up just being their job but I’d still support them if they were going through an illness with no clear-cut medical cure. But not only that, if you’re a first-responder you’re likely around many other people throughout your “43 hours”:

* other first responders
* people who share your work vehicle
* people you encounter on breaks because I doubt you’re also eating homemade lunch every single day in your car that you’re already spending tens of hours in per week
* people at the office or other facility you work out of
* people in other facilities or offices you probably need to visit
* people you respond to who may not have COVID-19
* people you encounter in some form outside of work, like when you’re getting gas at the gas station, groceries, food at restaurants, church, the pub

but they are all at risk because now _you_ have put yourself at risk. Fine, nobody needs to care, including you, if you catch it and die but I know myself and likely others do care if you end up asymptomatically exposing even three other people.

And for anyone who does think the point is moot, good thing we do have empty hospitals because it means the lockdowns were actually helping the situation. Funnily enough with places reopening now there spikes again. Interesting coincidence.

I suppose it’s no big deal that nearly 110,000 people have died so far? But thank god you have free will and can do whatever the hell ya feel like doing by meeting random people.

Robert Taylor and Cabrini Green were worse than Stateway Gardens,so feel lucky that you didn't have to go through either of those.

My cousins use to live just east of Stateway Gardens,and use to walk past them,and IIT frequently when we were kids,and never had any problems. Then again,maybe because it was always daytime,and we were just kids,nobody cared what we were doing.

Unfortunate choice of usernames right now even if you did make it well before all this. Doesn't help that it is all the thread title says either.


The fear of human contact is becoming well instilled in people. There are of course some simple precautions that can mitigate much of the risk but people have been put into panic mode whenever they see anybody close together.
