Whim of the picker, but there’s a mechanism to get a refund I believe. Also at this point there’s unlikely to be anything expired left. |
Dola- you can reduce a tip if you think you got grungy stuff too. You can also rate the shopper. But ratings don’t matter at this specific moment.
If you ask for something that’s out of stock, shopper should move on to something similar. Sometimes there’s nothing left, in which case you’d get refunded. Also there’s a live connect so if you don’t like the substitute you can ask for something else or nothing at all. |

Another thing to consider is the timing of calculating the fatalities, the authorities here are open that some of them are added to the overall totals with some delay, based on when the hospital actually reported time of death etc. If some data reports accumulate numbers of several days consistently, this will either give spikes or means day to day data needs to be reexamined for recent days regularly. |

Wife said she received an email from a snorkeling rental place we used in our Hawaii trip. They were asking for donations.
There are a few local restaurants that have my email & phone (ordering for delivery/pick-up) and I would donate some of my stimulus to them. Wonder if this will become a thing. |

It appears this is having an impact on my psyche - had my first virus-related nightmare last night.

So what is up with the 2 prima-donnas? What is their motive and do they really think this would not reflect poorly on them?

At least in Massie's case, it's the idea that there would be no record of which way members vote in a matter of this level of national and financial significance. |
Didnt take long to get back to politics did it?

Trump wants the GOP to kick out Massie. Wow.

SirFozzie has a good point; we're veering more and more into stuff that should be in the Trump thread. For my part, I'll post any more such replies there.

Sorry everyone. I broke the rule and started this political tangent.

I don’t usually have group meetings online and when I do, it is usually through Skype and audio only. I had a meeting with another organization that was going to be done via Zoom. I called in the Zoom expert of the house. My twelve year old who I am guessing has had 18 Zoom meetings so far this week.

My Dad's assisted-living / memory-care facility went from 1 covid-19-positive resident to 2 last week. And now it's 3 residents and 2 staff members.
We pulled him out as soon as the second positive case emerged and he is now at home with my Mom despite the increased risk to her health. The decision was made after talking to a family member who is an ER physician. He said that it's going to spread through there like wildfire. There are no visitors allowed already and if he got it, he would be transported out and if it was fatal, we would likely never see him again. The second factor was that he said it is going to take down many of the staff and if there is insufficient staff to give care then care will be insufficient. |
Sorry, conspiracy theorists. Study concludes COVID-19 'is not a laboratory construct'
Looks like ABC is part of the cover-up! |
Sorry to hear that Castlerock. Assisted living facilities are going to be hit hard, unfortunately. I think you did the right thing taking your dad out of there.

One of the strange things I realized is that you can 'reserve' a spot, but if you don't complete your order by midnight than the spot is opened back up. So you may see a bunch of pickup order filled that open up right at 12:01. I was hoping I could move my pickup earlier in the day as there were multiple new pickup spots open earlier than my 7-8pm slot, but once you have a time you have it - and I didn't want to cancel and reorder. I also see I can get delivery today by 5pm if I wanted for $10. Also this pickup for me is free (no $5 charge) probably since it's my first one and we don't need anything right this moment, so I figure can wait. Good to know the rest of that. |

Well, sure its naturally occurring but that's not the real point. Think about it logically :) The real conspiracy theory is ... it's naturally occurring but it was China (or US) that weaponized it and spread it to the US. |

Yes, sorry you guys are going through this. I am sure there was a lot angst as to what was the best decision to make. |
Zoom is going to make a killing off this.
My family is using it to get together to celebrate my Dads 90th birthday. We had to cancel the family get together. Meetings are there as well. Handy little program. |

Just be careful to monitor or make your meetings private. There are all sorts of stories of people crashing meetings and doing porn or other objectionable things. |

Does anyone know of a place where current case counts in the US can be downloaded into CSV at the county level? I am curious how some of the case counts look at the county level relative to both population size and population density but I can't find a site that is mapping that data.

The NYT supposedly released all that data today.
edit: Yeah, what he said |
Almost 1000 deaths in Italy yesterday. Deaths in New York jump 139 overnight.
Read an article last night on how the numbers are likely higher here. Lot of deaths from pneumonia across the country that just don't have tests available. When they can test post-mortem, we'll likely see an increase. Found this video being promoted. It's a doctor giving a good guide to how to handle groceries and takeout food. Essentially how they keep rooms sterile in an office/hospital. Maybe a little overkill but if you're immunocompromised or around someone who is older, it's worth the extra few minutes. |

No. It isn't ok. Full stop. |
Anyone from MI? Hard as it is, it is good they are thinking and planning for worse case scenarios.

I live in the mitten. As unreliable as the case stats are, Michigan's been moving up the list - maybe we are just testing more, but as I mentioned a few days ago Detroit is expectedly not good according to the numbers and once things go bad in New Orleans, they may be talking about that as the next big city. We've taken a fairly middle-of-the-road approach compared to other states. There's good stuff in other cities - locally they are already starting to put hospital beds in college buildings for example in preparation, this is in Grand Rapids which is less than an hour drive from me and the state's second-largest city.
Henry Ford though would be a big part of the worst part of the state for this, and I'm sure they didn't want that to get out, but it's got to be considered unfortunately. |
Saw a national poll today - 79% said the current restrictions are necessary, 59% said Easter was too soon for going back to normal. At least for now, public opinion is firmly on that side. It'll be interesting to track how those kinds of numbers change. I doubt very much that two weeks from now there won't have been at least some shift.

Trola, Italy over 900 today. They had leveled out at least for a few days, but that's a new high for them by a good margin. I'm really looking forward to the point where some of these hardest-hit countries get over the mountain here but we clearly aren't there yet.
