I think this guy will need to go into protective custody, maybe get a new identity.

Oh the humanity!

BTW: Anyone in Florida want to know what's an essential business, here's the list. Pretty much the same as my county (Lake) has been following for the last two weeks while our governor dawdled over making up his mind.

Some of us at work were issued brand new badges with photos so if they were to begin stopping people, we'd be OK since we're part of the "essential" list.

We all have a paper to carry around if we are stopped to show we're an essential business. I work for a medical device manufacturer so it's legit.

I work for a media/television company so we don't stop. We've got a broadcast to do. They did send some of the on air personalities to FL just in case the NY staff all got sick, they could do their shows from our FL studios.

First person I know got hit too. Though, they are in New York. So, that's not so surprising. Fortunately, she's young and already mostly recovered.

Keeping her in my thoughts, Buddy. Hoping she has a speedy and solid recovery. Hang in there.

Meanwhile, I live in a town of idiots:

‘Pack The Lots’ initiative to show support for health care workers

https://www.portsmouth-dailytimes.com/n ... I2K4E7rglQ

By all means, let's pack hospital lots with non-essential cars so people who need to get in can't. Let's face it, while some of the people are well-meaning, many just want an excuse to leave their house.
