Search YouTube for no sew face mask. Surgeon general did a video on DIY no-sew mask a couple weeks back. 

I ordered a whole bunch of masks from etsy. Takes longer to get them now, but you'll eventually get them.

I can take care of my own, but we are expected to supply them to all of our employees. It is OUR responsibility to provide these as PPE to employees, so we can't expect employees to supply their own. The state just screwed us. That government small business loan we were supposed to get never came through either.

A local woman made us six, and the woman I got headcovers from most recently made four for me.

We need 200+ by next Monday. It's a bit late to be placing that order with anyone to make them.

Not the ones in the grocery stores, which is the ones I would rob. You know, one stop shopping!😀

They don't keep as much money in those.

I mean not like I've researched this or anything. 🤫

That might be the only way to get money before long.

I took part in this on Saturday. People kept their distance for the most part. It goes to show that people will do the right thing even without the government imposing mandates. I don't think anyone wants to get this or pass it on.

After the event, Johnny estimated that there may have been more than 10,000 bikers that attended the tribute.

Meanwhile in Michigan::

A security guard was shot and killed when he told two women they couldn't go into a Family Dollar Store.   One's husband came over and complained about disrespecting his wife and shot the guard.   3 have been charged with murder

In Holly Michigan a guy was told to wear a mask and when he refused, he was asked to leave.    He then wiped his nose on the shirt of an employee.   He is wanted for assault.    

I'd like to think that people in Michigan are not all like that.

correction to the previous post.   

After the woman returned home, her husband and son went to the store to confront the security guard.   The son shot the guard.

People are wound up tight these days... that is a terrible outcome.  Don't bring a gun to a verbal fight.  (If my comment seems political please ask me to remove it... I will kindly delete it)

Like my spouse. If I suddenly disappear, there’s probably a shallow grave in my backyard that I’ve taken up residence in.

At least we know where to look for you.  Please see if your wife will mark your whereabouts with a flagstick.  Which should have a pool noodle in the hole and those looking for you will promise not to touch the flagstick.

NJ governor announced that schools will remain closed for the rest of the year, which I predicted would happen a while ago.

The rest of the school year, that is.

I don't understand the states that have waited until now to say this. PA said it… by the end of March? Or early April at the latest.

That seems so long ago, and yet it's < 2 months since this all started (March 13 here in PA).
