I was in Toronto during the big SARS "outbreak" there, and will do the same now as I did then.

Which is nothing. No one there cared, everyone still took transit and went shopping. I saw one person in total wearing a mask during the entire outbreak.

Yesterday morning I saw my neighbor outside the building unloading luggage from a taxi. He goes to China on a semi-regular basis so he may have just been there. China's pretty decently sized and I don't remember which part he goes to so it's possible he's not infected, but realistically how much time to I have to live?

I've never wanted to take a cruise, but the idea of going somewhere, by boat, always appealed to me. None of the planned fun or loving rock-climbing walls and gorge yourself buffets, but the sounds of the sea, the rocking of the waves, some simple galley meals, and maybe a good bottle of Scotch to pair with a book or two while actually transitioning from one point on the globe to another.

I wonder if experiences like that still exist/will exist in the post-Wuhan Renaissance.

Edit: I just want the Staten Island ferry, but with staterooms and the trip to last 4 days.

They don't, and never really did. Everything you described sounds great. Except you're satisfied with that after 6 hours. Now find something to do for the other 150 hours you're on the boat.

Travelogs from the age of ship crossings, ones from real people not writing fiction, talk extensively about the crushing boredom day after day.

Two confirmed cases in Vancouver now. Second case was in contact with the first case. It begins...


Plus I saw them wheeling someone around on a gurney, in full contact precautions mode. Even getting everyone out of the hallway as they passed, which is not usual practice. Maybe they just had a bad case of liquid-butt, or MRSA, but who knows....

Books On Tape posted:

Spent the last two days lugging thirty 40 pound bags of potting soil and compost. Was waiting for today, which was the last cold day forecast in the 25 day forecast. Was 32 this morning, but won’t dip below 40 probably until November. All 60s-70s forecast here. Spring is here.

So spent today planting. I started about 200 seeds indoors, and planted additional seeds today and fertilized vegetables that don’t need to be started indoors. All told, I’ve prepped the soil and potted or sewn seeds in two large garden spots I have on my property.

I’m growing:
Onions (yellow and white)
Carrots (multiple varieties)
Potatoes (multiple varieties)
Peppers (red, mild, hot varieties)
Leeks
Broccoli
Beans (multiple varieties)
Herbs (basil. parsley, oregano, rosemary)
Artichokes
Beets
Tomatoes (multiple varieties)
Raspberry bush
Blueberry bush
Strawberries
Swiss chard
Lettuce
Spinach
Eggplant
Brussel sprouts
Watermelon
Asparagus

Wife caught the prep fever and we got a big delivery from Costco with more staples for a long haul: toilet paper, pet food, detergent, toothpaste, and another 20 pound bag of rice. Plus, some canned chicken and canned veggies.

I’ve amended my workouts over the last six months from free weights to mostly do kettles, pushups and pull-ups, so as of tomorrow I’m bagging the gym workouts and getting a few more kettle bells for the home. There’s a four mile nature hike that goes through woods I can access from the house, so going to work out at home and hike indefinitely.

We’re basically prepared for a summer without leaving the homestead if needed. Hopefully won’t come to that, but feels reassuring. If there are any local cases, we’re pulling the kids from school and will cancel all deliveries to the home and hunker down. Our plan is to not get the virus until this wave runs its course, hopefully slowing down in the summer. We’ll spend a lot of time cooking lots of veggies, and by the pool.

Assuming there is a sizable surplus from the garden, we’ll freeze a good deal of that (have two good sized freezers) and give a lot away to neighbors.

Raiding your compound tonight to douse everything with my virus laden rear end plumes.

Also gonna spray paint "you fukkin nerd" on your Subaru Outback.

Uh, yeah? Healthcare isn’t a right and if you want to be tested you’ll need to pay. $3500 or so for some blood work and PCR testing actually sounds like a pretty good deal.

It’s usually way better to buy aquarium antibiotics from eBay than go to the doctor, if you have any sort of bacterial infection. Dosage information is readily available online.

Lmao where do you live that you think you are *entitled* to see a physician or receive medical care?

Mourne posted:

I don’t have quotes, just anecdotal evidence from living in America my whole life.

If you don’t have insurance and seek medical attention you’ll be expected to pay out of pocket for your medical expenses.

Hospitals and their providers need to make money. That’s the system I live in. I don’t agree with it, but it’s the truth.

A 3400$ medical bill is getting off very very easy if you are uninsured and need covid-19 testing.
