After reading the hostile interactions and extreme POVs in this thread, I completely understand why non-partisan cooperation in the house and senate is a pipe dream. Those people are politicians for a living, vs the "for the love of the sport" extremists on this forum!

The whole battle of the BS on the Hill is what makes things good for us - I'm not into socialism and another isn't into capitalism - the powers that be bang heads until there either in an impasse or as in this case - something needs to be done and presto! They make a deal that might benefit more folks in the middle as opposed to just those on the outer edges.

Our forefathers were some smart dudes in how they set it up.

We just got the "stay at home" notice in Idaho https://www.idahostatesman.com/news/coronavirus/article241495446.html

21 days....

I'm trying to come up with some stay-at-home work for my trainers in the mean time, but it's gonna be pretty slim pickings. If I can keep their health insurance, that'll be a victory.

But I'm not worried about this, believe it or not. By God's grace, I've prepared for years for something like this.

April 14th, here we come!

“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.” Philippians 4:6.

(That's my line right there ^)


I guess I better call Fuzzy and see if the N. Idaho zombies are at his door yet. Nothing here yet.

I just appreciated that someone asked the Governor if liquor stores were essential and going to stay open.

Looks like a whole bunch of us will need to suck up the effects of this. Everyone stay the **** home unless you absolutely need to go out/about and then wear gloves and keep 6' away from people and/or wear a good mask....put your gloves on before leaving your vehicle and keep them on/do not touch your face until you get back to the vehicle....keep some disinfecting wipes in your pocket and wipe the gloves down on the way back to your vehicle.....lets use some common sense/discretion and PAY ATTENTION to the stay @ home mandates....then take precautions when you have to go to a public place.

My girlfriend just did exactly this...including using my last N95.
Had to go to grocery store, liquor store and target.

We’re stocked for a easily a month.
Our pending lock down won’t effect me, since I rarely leave the mountain anyway, and I have projects galore.

She was the only person, in all three places, that had on any protection, except for a few elderly folks.

Zithromax is clearly over used on a day to day basis, but for this particular syndrome I read some various ideas about why with this viral illness it may be helpful for sicker patients as part of the treatment due to anti-inflammatory effects, multi-microbial components to the syndrome, etc.

I think the best explanation on public health in the nation and explaining the issues on a deeper level that I have seen by the media is a portion of the March 24th Mark Levin show.

6 trillion dollars of non-targeted response spending/borrowing = ridiculous, crazy, dangerous, idiotic...enough said.

If you guys havent heard already, take zinc.
Tons of studies in how zinc fights off viral infections.
Internet search "zinc antiviral" and you'll see all of the studies.

I'm one of the lucky ones that has to go out to keep their job. 🤦‍♂️ I build airplane parts for European countries....go figure, ...."essential"

Seriously about the zinc though.

I got a call from a friend last night his mother in law is on a respirator in ICU she went in Monday with breathing issues, they tested her and came back positive, now his wife who drove her to the hospital is sick and just got tested awaiting results now. His wife was our kids daycare provider for a few years till she shut down last summer, this is getting real close to home. The mother in law is 65 no real medical issues a little overweight but nothing crazy. She’s straight off the boat Italian, first generation here in US I guess they didn’t take warnings seriously and had a dinner through her church or Italian community center a week or so ago 45 people, 30 have symptoms a few hospitalized. The pastor or preacher(not sure the difference) of her church has it, a 21 year old church member passed away Tuesday, he went to the hospital with flu symptoms I don’t know details but he didn’t make it. Before the European travel ban 3 members of her church flew back from Italy and never quarantined. Crazy times we live in, a few people not taking warnings seriously affecting an entire community.

Stories like this absolutely break my heart.

Beyond the sadness I get mad at times this is happening to people. It ticks me off someone would create such a thing.

Anyone correlating between this and point creep issues or increasing draw odds in any state ought to be ashamed of themselves. The reports from survivors describe hellish pain and lifelong permanent damage. I would take point creep or crappy draw odds over people dieing or suffering life long health issues any day.

Helena. I lived in Bozeman for a long time, F*** that place these days.
Gotcha. Helena is a great town; I have a few college friends from there.
I guess I have had a different experience (been here since '93, grew up in central MT.) Bozeman has been a great place to live and raise the family. Always busy outside hunting, climbing, fishing. I have a solid job, and for me the community of coworkers and friends has been great. Everyone has a different experience I guess!
