  1. TRUBall wrist strap with velcro. I find my fit is always between two buckle notches and difference if i wear gloves or not. That is why i prefer the velcro so I adjust to the perfect fit. Contemplated going with a thumb release but afraid i don't have enough time to adjust and then re-adjust back if by chance I don't like it.
  2. Not to hijack the thread but another side effect of the lock in is that domestic abuse and violence has also gone up as a result.
  3. The two friends of mine are hedge fund managers. They left the city mainly for their wives and kids. They've been working from home years even before this whole thing. They went into the office only a couple of times a week for their meetings and when they feel like not being bothered by their kids.
  4. The ones I know all work from home. Two of my buddies left the city. One rented a cabin in the Pocono's and another rented a house in Virginia. Has not stop them from doing their jobs.
  5. They're putting a lot of pressure on medical professionals because there are too many patients and not enough medical professionals to assist. I doubt there are not enough lawyers, bankers, etc. at the same level.
  6. I wear a N95 when going to stores, etc. I wear the surgical mask when out where there are no people to prolong the life of the few N95's I have. I am not worried about the virus for myself or even my kids. I'm more worried for my parents and my possibly catching it and showing asymptomatic symptoms passing it over to them. That's why I go through great measures to make sure I protected. It is very real. I don't know anyone myself personally but my parents know 3 people who have passed away from the virus already. 2 from their childhood home town that were living in Brooklyn and Queens, and a friend of my aunt's who was in Chicago. I don't ever recall a single season of the common flu doing that. While I wear gloves when going to the supermarket, etc (not when going for a simple walk), gloves can actually make things worst because they can get peoples guards down. You wear gloves and touch something outside. With the same gloved hand, you touch your keys, your door knob, and your phone. You get home, take the gloves off, and touch those same objects with your now exposed hands yet you don't wash your hands because "you hands never touched anything when you were outside." Don't let wearing gloves pull you into a false sense of security. I'll admit, I don't do enough with the phone and keys but my wife sprays down our shoes and wipes the door knob every so often.
  7. I use to check the website. Didn't realize they now have an app.
  8. Oh man...fingers crossed. Hoping it's just a small hiccup.
  9. Got a buddy in Glendale. Love visiting and heading up to Sedona. Not too far fetched but I don't golf.
  10. There aren't enough test kits here in the richest country in the world, how many test kits are there in the Congo? South Africa closed it's borders real quick. India is ravaged but they're hardly testing. Wife works with out sourced consultants are based in India. They told her a lot of people are dying but the government is reporting it as starvation. Some are legitimate. They went into a strict tyrannical lock down and some people ran out of food.
  11. I've avoided any political arguments on this site. I've had enough of it arguing with some individuals in the past who are no longer here and it's a big waste of my time so I won't engage in them anymore. I will make some points though but I'm not going to respond to any comments about it because I refuse to be reeled back in. 1. There is no point in arguing with someone who whenever you come up with any evidence against something it is always deemed as fake new simply because it went against the other persons belief. It's like talking to a wall. I can do that at home. I have 4 of them. 2. There are tons of people in the middle and it's okay they're there. Not everyone has to be extreme right or left. just because they don't agree with a point on the right doesn't mean they're a leftist or if they don't agree with a point on the left doesn't mean they are far right. 3. No one single person in this world is perfect. Don't care who they are. Not being perfect means they will mess up here and there and make mistakes. It's okay to admire someone and still criticize some of their actions.
  12. Back to the topic at hand. Even I will admit that that I was wrong about this virus. I've always been bumping my chest on how this virus is only slightly worst than the flu and for the most part and with proper medical care, I have full confidence on a full recovery for healthy individuals. I did however underestimate the strain it would place on healthcare systems around the world. The number of deaths are lower than the flu, suicides, etc. but keep in mind the C19 did this in a short amount of time instead of a whole year and it did this even while governments are throwing everything but the kitchen sink at it. People should be taking this serious.
  13. Imagine if there would have been no baseball this year? Mean the Dodgers would have given up Verdugo and not gotten a single game out of Betts.
  14. Just being next to an infected person doesn't mean automatic transmission. The virus has to be expelled from the host body and then somehow enter yours. If he came in, didn't cough up a storm then odds are you're good. Or he maybe coughed outside into his hands, didn't wash his hands, then came into your office and put his hands on everything...
  15. I get on at night and got like 20 pages to go through. What the heck is going on. And yes, my 6 year old does read over my shoulder if I'm checking in during the day. Not kidding. He sneaks up behind me quietly. To him it's a game on how quiet he can be. I'll hear him giggling sometimes.

    Lorax, crappy. That's the Lorax.
  17. We're going to have to start calling you Bubba.

    I just got a call from the 1980's. They told me to tell you they want their Atari 2600 back.
  20. I read some where that it's up to 20% of your lung capacity would be gone.
  21. Sorry to hear. Unemployment is a disaster. I've trying to apply for over a week now. Their system is overloaded. I've tried online all hours of the day. Even 3AM once. It keeps timing out. When you call the number, the call just drops. Only once did I get a busy signal and after maybe 5 minutes, it hung up on me.
