America citizens ramp up for war against an unseen enemy

Thousands of retired health care workers are volunteering to go to the front lines to protect America.

OK BOOMER  

AMERICA

  UNITED WE STAND

DIVIDED

**********************************

Jenny has now created 90 masks and I just ordered 4 more yards of fabric.   Pipe cleaners are needed to create an even better mask to go over the nose.   American civilians have decided to not wait for a government that still can't get it's act together as the President brags about his ratings in what used to be important pressers but now it seems only corporate hacks praising him instead of valid information.

Meanwhile deaths are being under reported for some reason (the numbers from front line workers and what WHO is reporting do not match up at all) and it seems 25% of the virus tests are false negatives (no virus).  

April 22 is suppose to be the peak in Wisconsin but we are much better then Minnesota.  We have enough hospital beds but not enough ICU bets - about 210 short along with 303 ventilators short.   

Minnesota the peak is April 18.  They have enough hospital beds but will be 360 ICU beds short and 570 ventilators short.

BUT - we are not New York      60,610 beds short  10,602 ICU beds short and 9,055 ventilators short. 

Michigan is in REAL tough shape also 4,400 beds short, 1,500 ICU beds short and 1,800 ventilators short. 

The wave is slowing approaching.

WEAR MASKS IF YOU CAN FIND ONE - The Chinese CDC is dumbfounded our government is not making all citizens wear masks in public. They do 4 things

1. protect others from your breath

2. you are protected from others breath

3. Keeps you hands from touching your face

4. shows others you HAVE A CLUE what is going on.

Finished PICARD - BRAVO what a fantastic show.  Not really a TV show, more like an 8 hour book actually.  And if you have not watched it yet makes sure you watch The Ready Room after each episode.  Wesley (yes that Wesley but grown up) interviews cast members and behind the scenes stuff  with writer notes on what just happened.  Fascinating 

I cannot wait for season 2.

SOM 365  OMG what fun it was to watch the games without knowing the results last night. I was not anticipating this would be so entertaining. 

 Of course my team won all three games on the road  6-0,  9-6, 4-0 so maybe that was why it was fun.   Tonight I play the other team in my division that is 3-0.  

From the site

Game #1 Hunter Dozier connected with a 'big fly' and had 3 RBI as the Columbus Iron Pigs defeated the Harris Field Warriors by a score of 6 to 0 at Citi Field.

The game started off with Columbus taking the lead in the first plating a single run. That early scoring was all that Brandon Woodruff(1-0) needed. Columbus had 12 hits for the game and Harris Field had 5.

The losing pitcher was Clayton Kershaw(0-1). He was touched for 3 homeruns in his 6 innings of work.

Game #2 The Columbus Iron Pigs put 4 runs on the scoreboard in the 1st inning and defeated the Harris Field Warriors by a score of 9 to 6 at Citi Field.

Gary Sanchez enjoyed a big day at the plate. He doubled plating two runs in the 1st inning and delivered a solo blast (his 1st of the season) in the 5th inning. Columbus had 12 hits for the afternoon.

Adam Kolarek(1-0) was the winner allowing no runs in 1/3 of an inning. Kolarek got relief help from Keone Kela who gained credit for his 1st save. Jacob Degrom(0-1) took the loss. He got hit pretty hard, allowing 11 hits and 2 walks in 7 innings.

Game #3 Matt Strahm had a strong outing as the Columbus Iron Pigs defeated the Harris Field Warriors 4 to 0 at Citi Field.

Harris Field was unable to recover after Columbus went ahead in the 2nd inning plating a single run using 2 hits. The early run support proved sufficient for Strahm(1-0) and Columbus. That was all the run support Strahm required. Harris Field was out-hit by Columbus, 11 hits to 4.

Keone Kela earned his 2nd save. Chris Sale(0-1) was the losing pitcher. Despite taking the loss, he whiffed 9 batters in 5 and 1/3 innings.
