  1. Lew I am not sure if any country is truly equipped to handle a thing like this. There seems to be a serious shortage of respirators and ventilators and ICU units. The auto companies are shutting down and our state governor has ordered this : Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine orders businesses to do temperature checks on employees
  2. Scary stuff, The London England Guardian is reporting Italy had 475 deaths in a single day?
  3. This is probably going to hit them very hard, I saw this on the news https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/17/politics/us-canada-suspend-travel/index.html . Most are small businesses with limited seasons and cash reserves? Losing income during your peak season can't help?
  4. It's been years now but I usually made 15 - 30 stops a day and the distance could cover 75 miles from starting point to turn around point, what a way to spread an illness? Trucking companies forcing employees to work up to 15 hours a day didn't seem like the best way to keep their employees healthy to me? You are right though, stuff has to move or the system can crash?
  5. Having an extra set of hands available while doing it certainly can't hurt?
  6. Private industry at work? https://www.cleveland19.com/2020/03/14/federal-agents-seize-counterfeit-covid-test-kits-cbp-warns-public-bogus-goods/ The hospital that me and our friend were in just had it's first case, so no telling were this will go?
  7. I used old fuel in my lawn tractor and push mower, I don't think I would want a fuel issue because of old fuel on the water or in the woods?
  8. I used Mepps or Rooster Tail for in line spinners, do you mean these? https://www.thornebros.com/products/blue-fox-vibrax-chaser?variant=28695735894090
  9. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ John, China has options not available here? Get this done or you disappear? Congress has a habit of tacking, or at least attempting to, of attaching completely unrelated spending issues to funding bills, the bargaining over them can be time consuming.
  10. Some auto parts stores here used to rental special tools, even Home Depot did. No idea if anyone in your area might?
  11. Cisco, I don't know if public healthcare would make a difference, we are just not equipped to handle a serious epidemic. They are saying now that 100,000 Ohioans maybe carrying the virus, if just 5% of those people need to be hospitalized there will be problems! This is a clip of the New Rochelle NY ( a burb of NYC ) problems https://www.cnn.com/videos/health/2020/03/13/gupta-new-rochelle-hospital-pkg-newday-vpx.cnn/video/playlists/coronavirus/. Maintaining a hospital system to handle any pandemic that comes along could be more expensive than maintaining our military? China built a couple of new hospitals in Wufan in a couple of weeks? I can't see that happening here. CNN had another story about Great Britain's handling of it, and a view it might not peak for another 14 weeks? Chaos? The only way to flatten the curve is isolation? and that would be hard to impose here?
  12. https://www.cleveland19.com/2020/03/13/high-demand-hand-sanitizer-means-wooster-company-is-hiring/ Job creation?
  13. John our food chain could be in danger from some of these foreign bugs also? https://www.cnn.com/2019/09/04/business/china-pork-swine-fever-pigs/index.html https://www.reuters.com/article/us-china-swinefever-disease-insight/disease-that-killed-millions-of-chinas-pigs-poses-global-threat-idUSKBN1ZF1FP The thing is with these pandemics is you don't know how serious they may become until they are over? Ancient times now, but I doubt anyone had a clue in 1918 that the flu could kill so many?
  14. https://www.healthline.com/health-news/has-anything-changed-since-the-2003-sars-outbreak So far they are reporting 5394 deaths from Corona, SARS was around 800.
  15. Same as in southern Ohio, stores with empty shelves. It's something new, I think your ultimate take on it will be how closely it affects you, precaution is different than panic?
  16. There are a bunch of videos on youtube about them if it helps.
  17. So after more than 30 days in the hole ( ICU ) he has finally regained some sort of consciousness, not perfect, but a start in the right direction, his situation is still fluid, but he is noticing nurses!
  18. akaShag is right, some of the lures, boxes, and paper work and even old fishing magazines can draw a good price. Ebay is sort of a zoo, you need all the possible info you can get on older stuff there, and condition can be everything. Some of those folks have no real clue about what they list, it's old so it has to be worth a lot? Well not really.
  19. Further reading on the topic. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0380133019301133 msp, to the best of my knowledge no US state stocks bass in the Great Lakes, and most of the states bordering them have some sort of closed season or catch and release only times. Erie and St. Clair are a lot different than Lake O a lot of shallower water to spawn in, never fished St. Clair, but here on Erie you could regularly find smallies and largemouth spawning in the same areas, once the spawn was done a lot of those areas became unusual places to catch a smallie. The St. Lawrence with it's current has to make spawning and survival of fry a challenge? Deeper cooler water also? slows the growth rate?
  20. Welcome Malcolm, https://www.ebay.com/itm/NICE-VINTAGE-HI-SPORT-LURE-11-25-19POT-FROG/123993438376?hash=item1cde95b8a8:g:h1MAAOSwqwhd4Xle There is a link to one of those lures on ebay, if you have the boxes or names on the lures you can research them there and get a rough idea of their value.
  21. It's been over a month now and he is still in an intensive care unit, luckily at one of the best hospitals in the world. Newsweek ranks Cleveland Clinic as 2nd best hospital in the world Nice to see Toronto with one!
  22. The Ohio record smallmouth was caught in Lake Erie in 1993? 9.5 pounds or so? Another 20 + years of eating gobies hasn't produced a bigger one?
  23. 20 inch perch are called walleye?
