Summit just lowered their graduated discount points I suspect because of a downturn of sales caused by COVID?

So I went to my doctor today to pick up my letter for my employer and everyone in the office was wearing a mask. Hmm. Coincidence? I don't think so.

So I went to my doctor today to pick up my letter for my employer and everyone in the office was wearing a mask. Hmm. Coincidence? I don't think so. I would have demanded the doctor Fax or Email that letter. My doctor wants me to come in and talk about my health issues. I said heII no. I asked for him to renew my Staten prescription. That is what triggered the "I must see you first and talk" Thank you for the well wishes. Over all, in the 48+ hours from the onsit we are doing much better. Not over it but 40-50% better. Lots of herbal teas, fresh soups and vegies. Humidifier running hard. Nasal and chest decongestants. Melatonin for sleep. Lavender and Eucalyptus scents for peace of mind. "Kumbaya my lord, kumbaya" Come on everone, sing it....

I asked them to email it but their internet wasn't working, said they have been in touch with their provider about it but still not working. There was only one person in the waiting room and I wore gloves.

OK, you've been told time and again to wash your hands. But do you really know the down and dirty of why? What happens when you sing "Happy Birthday" twice while scrubbing? If you can spend 6 minuets, PLEASE watch this Y-Tube Vid. Share it to friends. These 6 minuets may save someones life. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRqJaZO5yW8

In the "6 Degrees of Separation" rules that within 6 degrees you know someone that I know....
This Virus will hit someone you know. It may be tomorrow or 6 weeks down the road.
But if we can make the care-free ("I dont give a shiet" or "Its a Hoax") folks understand that it may not be them that get hit but someone dear to them because of their uncaring practices then half this battle is won. Really, if you isolate your self to a mountain top and never go shopping or visiting you most likely will never get this virus.
My mom was recovering at home from Non-Hopkins Lymphoma treatments. She was doing fine until my stupid homeless drugie younger sister went in to visit her. My mom got SAR's and pneumonia killed her. But my sister is fine and does not care that she was most likely the cause.

Since the Corona viruses are basically common cold type viruses I wonder if some people may have an increased resistance to it. Some people don't get colds, I am one of them.

I reside in a rural small 1 traffic light town. I don't share many views but a lot of the values of the locals. I have become good friends with a similar age new owner of a after 8? years a very successful family owned pizza restaurant. I might be their best customer over the years. I spend a lot of time off hours chatting with the owner. He has over 25 employees, and they are for the most a younger group, but hard workers, and seem to be of good stock. The owner and I have nearly opposite views, but we also have similar values, listen to and respect each other, and socialize outside the restaurant. I also have been a business owner my entire life and understand the ups and downs of running your own business.
I decided since 3/1? I would limit my exposure to others as best I could during this COVID event. I have not been to his restaurant since, but talk on the phone. The restaurant has been steadily setting new sales records since opening, even as two weekends ago. I suspect in this small town, and the business they do, within 48 hrs everyone in town has only one degree of separation from someone who has eaten at the Pizza parlor. His client base has a heavy snow bird group to all the way to grade school baseball teams. He really is hands on and does a great job.
5? Days ago on the phone I asked him (suggestively) if he had considered going to take out/delivery only. He said had thought about it.
Yesterday around 4:30pm I again spoke to him and used all my best efforts to convince him to consider that he should be in front of this instead of waiting for the gov to direct, which yesterday Florida directed restaurants to limit to 50% capacity, which I commented means, they really just lack the political gonads to do the right thing. One point I shared was, he did not want to be Ms O Leary's cow in our small town, with effectively no real heath care within 30? miles.
Ironically, he is in the highest risk group of the entire staff.
I'm crossing my fingers today he will see light.

Speaking of morons then, only a moron thinks a "95" mask with a valve, prevents the spreading of COVOID to any degree if the wearer is infected.
