This whole thing worries me as there are a BUNCH of us older forum members on here and we are in that dangerous category and Bill, you are one of em.
So to ALL of the entire forum, be safe guys follow the guidelines and take care. There's' too many with SO much knowledge on here and we need all of you. Dying is something none of us can control, but getting sick and then dying is something we can. Take care and be safe!! |

one question I've been asking people I know. Does anyone know anyone personally that has it?? Not asking about celebs, asking about personally known cases?

Monday Mar 23rd I had surgery on my left total knee replacement was installed July 24th 2018. I did something, found out Jan 24th that it was loose after ex-rays. I had fluid under my knee cap. After blood tests, fluid culture tests and bone scan. It was found to be infected. My only option was removal of my 2018 knee. My wife dropped me off Monday morning...I was on my own. It was scary not having her there. I was in good hands. My knee HURTS. They glue the joints in and had to chip it out. I'm home with a spacer in my knee. I have a pic line in my arm. I'm on IV antibiotic injections 3 times a day for 6 weeks. I hope people follow the rules. STAY home keep 6' away and DO NOT visit. It was scary at the hospital. Everybody gave me great care. On my floor they had only 2 patients. They had training for what is coming.

Not much change for me...I'm socially distant all the time on the farm doin chores and gettin new calves...just go to town about once a week for feed and groceries. Need to start next week getting machinery ready for field work. My wife is home to cook though, she took 2 weeks vacation from the health center where she works. I did miss going to Gathering of the Green in Davenport last weekend (wrong color, I know). I do have a WC restoration project that's getting close to going back together, that I've been hitting hard this winter. It's been a nice change from working on green stuff. I've always got plenty to do...inside and out, so I can't get bored.
Skateboarder, I see you're in my neighborhood. I'm just down the road from West Chester.

Wednesday my home town, Hayfield MN, had it's first confirmed case and by Friday they had 3 more. First one was at the window company and I was told they shut down that day and sent everyone home. My job is somewhat essential but was told I only need to come in once or twice a week. To put is short we work with mice.

The dentist who works with me and I got notice from the governor yesterday to get ready to report to NYC to replace health care workers who are overwhelmed. Since he is single and I am not, he is going to go down this week and I will go in the next wave. Neighbor has a 1000 cow herd and said he would just blend my herd of cows into his. We laughed when he said we should quarantine for two weeks

Got a few things done around the farm and some wood cut. Monday I go back to work. Guess I’m “essential” after all. It’s good to feel needed.

My wife is a Nurse Administrator at a NYS maximum security prison. As of today, they have had no positives, but have several isolated.
There are two medium security prisons within a mile of the max she works at. Both of the mediums have had a positive (one an inmate and one a Corrections Officer). Since I am mid 60's and a cancer patient (in remission for 2 years) I am VERY concerned. When all this is done, I hope we are all still having these conversations !!!

Working by myself on various things around here either maple or honey related. It has not really affected my day to day things around here. We live on 4 acres in the country. have neighbors fairly close but no issues. Wife needed to go to Walmart. It was a little busier than normal. most folks did not get close and lots of families there too. Toilet paper was gone and also all the flour. Not sure what thats about. Every one must be watching little house on the prairie where Pa went into Mankato and got flour, salt, ammo and Toilet paper! Just sayin.:)
Also grilled some sausages and a nice Venison back strap glazed with our Maple Mustard: Was like a real nice tender fillet with some fried 'taters and onions! Rough, but guess we are doing OK!:)

Southern Alberta dodged snow falling a bit further north. Have been checking out the 5015 and belly mower the past few weeks. Took the mower out from under the tractor to check hearings which are OK. Straightened out a few dings.
Someone had welded the front bumper onto the frame. Only problem with that was taking out the battery required taking off the radiator on the tractor. I've been trying to get it apart for a couple years off and on, and finally succeeded, but perforated the battery case in my enthusiasm. Acid etched the shop floor pretty quick. Currently picking through the non standard wiring trying to make it all work. At least I can stay in the shop and be mostly isolated. Stay healthy! Edited by Reindeer - 28 Mar 2020 at 10:01pm |

3 of our local rescue squadsmen are in quarantine now after they answered a call on an elderly person, afterwards they found out that person tested positive for the virus. the old person died, the squadsmen are all isolated at their homes, their families can't even be in/live in the same house with them for 14 days. I have quit going to coffee in town every morning, i'm susceptable to flu's, and other things. so I guess i'm in my own quarantine here. not minding it so far.

To answer Ed's question. Our next door neighbor here on the farm has Covid 19. He is in his late forties. The company he owns with his brother were working in a brewery in Dallas. He flew back home a few weeks ago so doesn't know where he picked up the virus.
Was pretty sick at home but feeling much better now. Brewery in Dallas shut down because he was there. On top of that his Dad just moved into hospice and he can't see him. Yesterday he planned to go to the hospice and see his Dad through the window. It's real guys. Follow the rules. I'm isolated in the shop working on my 220 fwd.

Hamilton has 50 Cv19ers. As Calvin knows , I'm 'semi rural' and don't see too many people. Got 4-6 months supplies in the larder AND both rhubarb and garlic are up ! Seeing how the heavens opened up ,again, I'll be in the garage..adjusting brakes on 'Paris', #3 D14. Hoping I don't have to do the shoes and seals like 'Troy' got a week ago. Having to stay AWAY from everyone is a GREAT reason to be 'turning wrenches' ... Jay

If I can get my butt off the couch I may go get the WD wide front and The WZ from storage. Worked on extracting honey this afternoon with the wife. Will have about 6 gallons of honey from the colonies that did not survive the winter.
Cheryl was doing most of the extracting: Uncapping a frame of goldenrod honey: Regards, Chris |

I have not eaten lamb in years! Was good when I did have it. So I think your not going to starve either. I just made a batch of the Maple mustard and Maple BBQ sauces. Have a mild version and a spicy version of each. I might gain a couple pounds on this lock down thing! Pancakes and home grown pork sausage links for lunch. Yea its rough out here!:) Regards, Chris

Well, our county now has one case, and it IS in our small town. He is isolating in his own house. I'm sure many more will pop up in the larger towns in the county.

Day to day for me here in CT hasn't changed much. I'm in aerospace mfg and we're essential so I'm at work every day still...I spend most of my time out on the shop floor so not like I can do that from home. Wife is working from home, and luckily the kids' day care is still operating so we have coverage there. My company announced some cutbacks for later this year, layoffs and furloughs, the decrease in civil aviation is hurting us already...defense is still going strong though. One company site shut down for two weeks due to a positive employee, and Boeing's Everett/Seattle plant shutdown is really hurting some of our other businesses right now. On the plus side, with my first furlough week in May I'll have plenty of time for tractor projects!

I'm working from home as I'm on the low immunity list. My wife is off work as the restaurant is closed. So we walk the dogs at first light while the ground is still frozen. I'm at my computer at 7:30 to catch the last hours of our European customers. Usually a phone conference or three during the day with designers or customers. Quit at 5 for dinner, another walk, maybe a ride in the Ranger and send some lead downrange. Back at the computer at 8 or so to catch our Australian plant for their morning. Sauna, a glass of wine or Jack and hit the sack by 11. We are pretty well stocked up so no plans to go to town anytime soon. I was in the ER last friday for a problem and after they fixed me up, I was walking out and a guy was coming in, said he was having breathing problems. I still had the mask on they gave me when I came in, didn't wait around to hear anymore, went straight home.
cheers, Creek |

Just the wife and I here. Got plenty of food, just going out for prescriptions. I did place a order for some basics, flour, sugar, etc. yesterday, pick up scheduled for next Monday. Earliest appointment I could get. We are outside their delivery range. Wife might need to get an emergency dental appointment. That's the only reason Dentists can see a patient in MI. The last time I saw anything, the county I live in is second to Detroit for most cases. Probably because many work in Detroit. I haven't been doing much of anything because of the cancer thing. I did get out and get the outside water turned on and some hoses brought out and hooked up. Wifey got some of the yard cleaned up from last fall. The weather hasn't been very nice for working outside yet. I'm hoping Spring gets here soon. I did see our local groundhog out the other day. It was a sunny day so it did see it's shadow, I'm not sure what that means!

Folks,
Its not looking good for this CV-19 event to blow over soon. Looks like end of April things will still closed down. I forced myself to try something that I have been threatening to do for years. Bake some bread! I didn't realize it was that much work! But worth it, with some of our daughters honey topping off some toast!

[QUOTE=Ranse]We have pretty much the same things going on here in middle Tennessee. The big surprise is the factories shutting down. Us at Bridgestone, the Nissan plant in Smyrna, TN, and Volkswagon in Chattanooga. Things must be bad if these big companies are willing to give up a few bucks.
I don't think they were willing. They were told to.

Kids are on their 3rd week out of school here. This is technically their spring break so no assignments being given out this week. Schools were right on the ball here and had approved the use of online learning before the governor even requested that all schools closed. Kids never lost a day of learning. Oldest is a senior so we are in that some boat with the rest of you that already mentioned this and yes, she has a brand new dress hanging in the closet already that she'll probably never wear now. Wife is a substitute teacher so out of work too at the same time. I work in a hospital lab in Louisville so I am still working but volume of work has declined and frankly I hope it stays that way for a while but fear it will not. We've confirmed 140+ positive cases since the beginning in our hospitals with hundreds of tests not resulted back to us yet. A lot have been treated and returned home to finish recovery. Only 1 or 2 deaths that I am aware of. 50+ employees have tested positive though and on home isolation-only 1 admitted that I've heard. Everyone please follow the guidelines so we can get past this asap! |
