Hawaii is about to implement a 14 day quarantine on all entries into the state. This would solve the problem for locals entering from the cruise ship. All pets coming into the state have been subject to quarantine since at least the 1950s to prevent introduction of rabies. Now, people.
Of Course!!! They ran out of space in the huge deluxe prepper bunker so let's start leasing space on a deluxe cruise ship. Better yet let's put the space up for auction! Those with enough money can have a DELUXE floating bunker to hide on from the diseased rabble. Anyone that tests positive we can just throw overboard with the garbage. Excellent marketing ploy!
I'm less scared about it than what will happen if the supply chain breaks down during this lockdown. I was an ships company MP patrolling the town outside the base during Martial Law in the Philippines during the Marco's rule. There's was nothing to fear from us if you followed the rules but the local cops we patrolled with were unprofessional bastards drunk on power.
The snarky reaction to this offer is the cruise ship industry is desperate for a bailout.
That is the fly in the ointment of total isolation! We do not live in the vacuum of space on individual spheres of immunity.
Aren't we all. It's unlikely many people will reject a $1,200 per person Coronavirus check.
That's why IMO it's so important to allow some risk of infection in return for a virus tested youthful work force with immunity that can freely work under those conditions. Somebody has to sanitize phones and cut hair.
I'm more concerned about generate electricity and transport goods. Besides, I haven't had a haircut in many many years.
Sure, mine was a HG2G reference Those sectors are Critical Infrastructure so workers will be on the job until the end, one way or the other. I've heard through the grapevine that Hydro workers here about being asked to live onsite in trailers. Critical manufacturing/infrastructure sites here are company employee only, all access doors, roads keycard locked with only vetted vendors allowed for resupply and repair emergencies during 'normal' times. I expect to see additional security steps taken in the near future. No special inside knowledge on this rumor passed down from a friend but if you need to do something or go somewhere do it before next monday or tuesday.
US/Canada border is closed. For my area, no flights in/out starting April 1st. Not sure why not now, it would be much more helpful to not wait.
One of my favorite authors ... thanks for quoting ... I suggest we dig a moat and build a wall around AAC, lock ourselves inside, and then party till the end of times...
It's not that bad. I lived under it in the '60s for awhile. Just use damp towels and masking tape to seal off windows and doors to keep the tear gas from coming in. Wear dark clothing and run from bush to bush at night to evade the patrols. Not that many people get dragged out and beaten. You get used to it.
Many companies already understand this practice. It was common in response to strikes that Exempt Supervisory personnel would remain encamped on-site to continue production. Kinda hard to implement at the "grab n go" or grocery store. Unfortunately Amazon doesn't do groceries where I live and "wally world" and others want you to go inside to do online order pickups. We will have to adapt to what is there for us.
That's a normal night in Detroit today.
