    They just announced a curfew in the city i live in here a few minutes ago.My company is considered an essential business,so they gave all of us employees papers today for documentation if we get stopped by the police.
    Never imagined i would have to worry about getting stopped by police just for going to work,this is getting crazy.

    We don’t have curfew that I know of but my boss gave me a similar letter today in case I get stopped.

    For some reason , that brought up an image of Hogan’s Heroes. It’s not funny that it’s where we are currently, but it did make me giggle.
    We went through that after Katrina. Himself had a placard on the truck dash that let him out and about.

    I love that show. I watch the reruns whenever I see them on.

    Hooray for vape mail. I finally got one of my orders from FT and also got two katana mods I forgot that I ordered. The katana looks nice. I’ll probably use those and put away a couple mods with replaceable batteries.

    Oh my I would be paranoid too. Do you have medical surgical masks available too? I was reading the home made ones over surgical keep them lasting longer. I tried making two today with pockets for the vacuum cleaner bag insert but they are hard to breathe thru and get very hot, not exactly comfortable. I wonder if just using the thin film View attachment 876181 would work from the bag? I added nose wire, the plastic twist tie worked great :)
    They have zero n95 respirators. Very ill equipped. They do have surgical masks and isolation gowns. If any folks test positive they will probably call the national guard medics in. They are doing it in Grafton WI. Assisted living/nursing homes/rehabs are not prepared for a pandemic. Hospitals are usually equipped.I'm so sorry being off topic.

    Any sales going on?

    My daydream is people will drink less during this time.


    They will drink considerably more,
    I’m an occasional whisky drinker but I have had beer in the house since the hysteria.

    I’ve run out :eek:
    I’ll swap toilet roll for beer if anybody is asking??

    We are now on stay at home order in my state. Thank goodness, people need to stop spreading this disease. Fortunately I am a happy homebody vaping away :) LOL
    We are too. I had a moment of panic until I realized there was nothing I need. Panic of having to face the crowds... I have a feeling it’s a mob scene out there. Too many people breathing my air lol!
    Still seeing vape sales in my email, but they’re far less frequent than a few months ago. Seems like they’re trying to unload a lot of juice quickly now.

    Stay at home order took effect here too. I made a last chance run to Home Depot for some moldings, paint and wood filler. The Governor may have kick started some projects I'm putting off. If I had just played dumb and waited a few hours I could have put them off another three weeks!

    I'm pretty happy with how our state has handled things. The Governor has been frank, clear and consistent in explaining the challenges, decisions made and the strategy going forward. Distilleries are making sanitizer. Automakers are shifting to ventilator production. The Attorney General is prosecuting price gougers.

    Tough times show the character of the people in leadership positions and the women in charge are delivering. I may not agree with some positions like the flavor ban but in a crisis they have stepped up very well.

    Ours went into effect last night,but in my opinion,they have allowed too many places to be considered "essential" for it to do a whole lot of good here.Perfect example is where i work,we make food products for the grocery stores,but nothing we make is even close to a necessity,but yet Homeland security still cleared us.Most that i work with are not happy at all that we are being put at risk,people like me in production have to take the risk while all of our office and corporate people are staying at home.

    My boss informed me yesterday that we are an essential business. I’m ok with it. I work by myself most of the day. I saw yesterday that the police have posted a statement that they won’t be stopping people to check for papers but I have one just in case that my boss passed out yesterday.

    My last package from China should be arriving tomorrow. So I'm well and truly stocked.

    On another note, I dropped my z-biip into a full glass of water, completely submerged, and after drying it out it still works! These little things are apparently tough.

    "And what do the papers say?"
    "They are merely statements that you have not been mistreated while you've been here."
    "I cannot sign the papers."
    "AND WHY CANNOT YOU SIGN ZEE PAPERS?"
    "Because you have broken both my hands."

    Well, at the top of the page it says " Critical Industry Employee Authorization to Travel regardless of the time of day". The body of the letter goes on to explain that our business is part of a critical infrastructure segment.
