Lock down time

in The Clubhouse
So Contractors are slowly getting back to work today on a from what I was told a RED rollout. With so many guidelines to attempt to stay safe.

We are considered Yellow which isn't going to roll out for at least 2 to 4 weeks from now. I've been under lockdown for 5 weeks now and going another 2 to 4 is gonna be challenging.

I wonder how things are going to be for the next several months years or are we changed forever?

    Lots of states opening up in May. This will be a big test. If infections go way up then expect to be re-closed for a while. If infections continue to do down then we might have turned a corner to getting past this mess.

    Ok I got to get this thread closed. They are "cooking the books" so continuednlock doens will be based on false stats. I think the UN said that 130 million will die because of the lock down. I guess it's cool if they die in all the right places? Dan, I hooe you can get back to work soon.

    I sold most of my stock 2-3 days before the market crashed. Depending on how things look in October then I might get back into it.

    Q: What do you call a person with no body and no nose?
    A. Nobody knows!

    Welcome to the Hardy Friday night schoolboy joke hour.

    Bus driver looks down at the bloke with no legs at the curbside, and says "Hello mate , how are you getting on?"

    I found a whole page of them -- but (I must admit) the bob joke was the one I was initially thinking of, catalyzed by @afterburnt's earlier post.

    I also - FWIW - thought about posting this riposte.

    "Even harder typing without thumbs."

    oh, I crack myself up sometimes...


    but we digress.
