General COVID-19 Topic

I know nothing about Urbana University.  I have had dinner with a very well respected individual who makes his living consulting to colleges and universities.  He told me two years ago that there were a great many colleges that were on the edge of not making it and would shut down.  With an event like Covid-19, I expect that we will see many more of these.

I'm sure we will be seeing more and more of this in the coming weeks/months.

Urbana University has announced it will close.

 

Sad, but I expect there will be quite a different look to every aspect of the country.   Neiman Marcus filed for bankruptcy.    The concept of ordering groceries online will continue to be "a thing".  I guess it has for a while but .... I'm old, maybe....

The University of Michigan is reporting that it may lose close to $1B dollars.

This is an interesting article. It's in the opinion section, but it is written by a Physician. You need to provide an email address to access, but you don't need to subscribe. To summarize, by the time most people feel the effects of COVID Pneumonia, they are already critical. By monitoring heart rate and O2 levels, treatment can begin early and possibly prevent the need for ventilators, etc. Also, patient position on side / stomach can open airways.

This is what I learned during 10 days of treating Covid pneumonia at Bellevue Hospital.

Mid March, I was out of work sick. Running a 100+ fever.  17th the wife checked my BP and it was 75/46 - so I got to go visit the ER.  I remember her dropping me off at the door saying she was going to park the car.  Next thing I know, I was waking up in ICU after 2.5 days on a ventilator in an induced coma.  Bacterial infection and Pneumonia kicked my butt.  I'd almost rather go through heart bypass again.  5 more days in the hosp and released home.  Was checked for Covid and flu.  Fortunately, no.  Not my preferred way to lode 20 lbs...  LOL  Back to normal now, well, normal for me anyway.

If I remember correctly, Kern county is a rural county not a large city like NY, LA, SF or Seattle.  Of course you will not see such a high incident of COVID in Kern county.  

I agree rural areas probably do not need as a strict social distancing as they are de facto already socially distanced.

My wife cuts my hair at home. Simple enough to do. Just clippers with the little different # spacer things.

This is starting to seem like a good idea....

My father-in-law cuts my hair at our house. It's good to have a hair dude in the family, but I'm considering shaving it all off. I don't have much left on top anyway.

Does she give you the scalp massage afterwards?  And can she talk baseball???

I've been cutting my own hair long before all this happened. Clippers, mirror, practice. Lots of YT videos on how to do it. It's not rocket science.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Something like that. They keep you from scalping yourself.

It's even easier if you simply shave your head. I used to do it all the time when I was a teenager, good old #0. I started doing it again before all the COVID-19 shutdowns started happening. I use a #1 now. Needs to be cut fairly often or it looks terrible because the hair grows at different rates and it's very obvious when it's short like that. I've been putting it off for a few days, now. I think I'll go back to #0.

I start with #4, then #3, then #0, I guess that's no attachment, to even things out. I started doing it more often when I realized it took less time than going to the barber shop and I could do it anytime. It also helps that I'm saving $25 - $50 a pop.

Florida is going to begin a phased reopening beginning on Monday.

Slow going, and obviously some continued precautions, but it’s a start.
