Suicide hotline in one state jumped from 1000 to 25000 calls in one day.
Spousal Abuse has increased ... :-(
Pa. decided trout season could start (early) because "Outdoor recreational activities, including fishing, lift our spirits and help relieve stress."
Edit to add this is a reversal. It was shut down until this morning.

But it is a fact ... you put spouses together that are not accustomed to being with each other - the fact that 50% of marriages end in divorce, and probably another 25% are putting off the inevitable, and you have maybe 25% that are happy - and since counseling may be curtailed due to corona, that does not help. I think Men are from Mars, Women from Venus should be required readiing again... I picked it up because my skills are somewhat lacking... I broke up with someone and reading that book, one sees the errors of both ...
You've got unhappy people that do not know how to deal with each other. It could be they have not communicated that much, or you have one spouse going into depression and with depression sometimes comes a loss of temper/rage. And pile that up with a layoff/furlough, and you have a potential disaster.
You could use extra time for self-improvement - audio books are good. But this is bound to happen with cabin fever. It's bad news when people can't manage themselves. And with social isolation, it's tough to look after friends... Everyone keep busy. I'm doing projects that I've put off and work that needs to get done.

No - It's just another consequence of being locked in
You could see it coming as well as an increase in suicide attempts/depression.
I agree with what you are saying. I disliked it, because I hate to see those numbers go up. I grew up with an abusive father & watched spousal abuse through different family members.
I'll ask her when I get home tonight for you.
The whole online teaching thing at an elementary or grade school level is a new thing for them as well. I highly doubt they've refined it enough to demand due dates. I know my wife's class, half her kids haven't even checked in since this whole thing started. Lower grade level in a low income school.
This would be 7th grade for my oldest. My youngest in 3rd grade has it waaaaaaay easier.
I can believe that. My wife has threatened to stab me alot more often than usual.
I love instacart! Groceries and Alcohol delivered in under 2 hours what more can you want!!
Just wipe everything down and don't stress.

There is hope with social distancing and other measures. In my province of 1.2 million we had 14 new cases yesterday, and only 7 today. We actually had more recoveries than new cases. Mind you some could be unreported, or Asympomatic but shows if people aren't selfish, and stick to new protocols, good news is possible.

A possible treatment for Covid that includes Zinc plus Hydroxycloroquine.
Even as chloroquine shows potential for treating COVID-19, doctors warn caution needed
While a malaria drug has shown some potential for treating COVID-19 patients, doctors are warning that caution is necessary and it has yet to be proven effective on a large scale.abc7.com
I picked up my wife’s refill of her prescription of Hydroxychloroquine today from Walgreens, without issues.
Her Rheumatologist has also upped her Zinc supplementation, this article is interesting, thanks for sharing...

Here we go: Minnesota set to announce modifications to the stay at home guidelines.
m.startribune.com
Minnesota hits 1,069 COVID-19 cases, 34 deaths one month after reporting first case
Minnesota cases still rising, but governor could let some resume working
Course did a good job. They were very careful and let people decide what they wanted to do. I ended up playing with two guys I know from previous rounds. I felt very comfortable.

Suicide hotline in one state jumped from 1000 to 25000 calls in one day.
Michael Burry mentions the suicides as well. While famous for his investment insight, he‘s a doctor who got his MD from Vanderbilt and says “Universal stay-at-home is the most devastating economic force in modern history, and it is man-made. It very suddenly reverses the gains of underprivileged groups, kills and creates drug addicts, beats and terrorizes women and children in violent now-jobless households, and more. It bleeds deep anguish and suicide.”
You can read his whole take here: https://www.msn.com/en-ie/money/mar...ockdowns-in-tweetstorm/ar-BB12gVGQ?li=BBr5HCU
On the other hand per the CDC average deaths per week (?) is down to @13k from 60kSuicide hotline in one state jumped from 1000 to 25000 calls in one day.
How far apart are the tee times now? Our course went to a 20 min gap last Friday.
And per capita that 1,069 confirmed cases In MN is the lowest of any state in the U.S.

That might be the stupidest way to multiply I've ever seen. The "before", not the "after". No wonder every single one of my HS students is helpless without a calculator.

I interestingly enough came across this article.
Coronavirus: To zinc or not to zinc?
Zinc is no COVID-19 magic bullet, but it could help. Studies have shown zinc lozenges to be effective in shortening the misery phase of other coronaviruses.

My brother-in-law and sister are quarantining right now. He has had a fever since Friday but no cough or lung issues. Did a teledoctor review and they didn't send him to get tested. After I read this I went to CVS and picked up some Cold-eez lozenges and put it on their doorstep just to be safe. If by chance he does have it, hopefully the zinc dosage will help the immune system fight it off before it gets any worse.
I personally take a multi-vitamin that has 100% of the daily recommended dosage of zinc so hopefully this helps stave off anything I may have already encountered as well without knowing it. If zinc can really make a difference this is a +1 for all the red meat eaters of the world.

Not that I agree we should be golfing in BC right now, as I've already said besides "precautions", but I understand you can add Kings Links to that short list. I learned Kings Links just reopened with no CV precautions listed on it's website (including restaurant closures, so they must be late updating). I heard second hand that Delta officials inspected before the reopen. But I also learned that there are a lot of complaints rolling in from other golf courses and citizens in municipalities about courses staying open in these circumstances that are being passed up the food chain.
BTW I'm 69 years old so missing a year potentially now means a lot more to me more now for the future than it did twenty + years ago when I stopped playing with back problems., so I don't do it lightly.

You know how bored people are? Dr Who to the rescue.
Police are now resorting to Daleks to keep people social distancing.

You haven’t seen the division version of that approach.
