Business Closures

Of Bayview businesses closed hopefully temporarily, are the Captain's Wheel Restaurant, and Ralph's. These are prohibiting inside seating. Ralph's is currenly serving takeout which can be eaten in the various outside areas. Also takeout is still aailable.

As soon as the situation at the Wheel is clarified, I will report it. Right now, Kevin and Daveana are ready to serve you.  The Merc is open with required hand sanitizers provided.

The key to our survival is do not hoard. What you take that you don't need is taking it away from those that do, some desperately.

Unintended Consequences

With Washington bars and restaurants closed, followed by Coeur d'Alene, Hayden and Post Falls, is sending diners and drinkers to areas that are still open.

Already, I am seeing an influx of Spokane County licence plates. Villages like Bayview will now see transplanted virus carriers arriving  here. This will possibly save these areas some sickness, but

only to shift the danger to us multiplied. So much for isolating.

(I interrupted to answer the door. A kind soul handed me a box of kleenex in response to a facebook post asking for same. )

Such generosity was offset though by the Bastards that have stashed a year's supply of T/P and other products needed by those of us that have trouble getting around. These Assholes should be shot.

The risk has been shifted to the suburbs by selfish towns.

CDA Press story

I followed the story in the cda press re: the 23rd. If none of you read the paper, that isn't my fault. I did however not know the identity of the on duty bartender, nor did I name her. Perhaps it would have been better if I clarified my target. It was management policy, or lack thereof that was a t fault. Kim is one of my favorite [people, one that I wouldn't ever personally attack. Read the paper, fools.  

Unreasonable Fear

Today on facebook I read from many sources that there is a run on toilet paper. The stores are rationing it and folks are stocking up napkins, paper towels, and kleenex.

What the fuck is wrong with you. If you stock up in a normal way, without filling a room with unneeded stuff, there will be plenty to go around.

Unneeded  panic will produce a shortage of these items, not the virus. Stay away from crowds, cut back on social gatherings, and if  anything, just buy a few face masks. Do not hoard.

Stay out of bars, restaurants and theaters or  for that matter, avoid crowds. Then just go on with your life.

Where this ridiculous panic is going is creating an emergency, not solving one. Get a life, folks.
