The Olean Times Herald reports that the patient was told to pull his pants up and the temperature was to be done via the head scan method. The disappointment by the patient was said to be obvious.

B-Man, many thanks for this and similar posts on this topic. Also a special thanks for turning me on to Alex Berenson, who’s Twitter feed on the Coronavirus panic is absolutely invaluable.

That's good. Just don't tell Karen on Facebook; she is piping mad that anyone can do anything. I do need some new fabric for the swing lean-to in the backyard, but PA is a little too far to drive for that.

We have been doing it in our household for about a year now. The company that I work for, my entire team works remotely except one call center in which we have move them all remotely and are considering permanently making that transition. All the trainings, meetings, meeting with vendors etc are all done via Zoom. Thankfully our business is not going to get impacted at all from this, most likely will even benefit not just from a revenue standpoint but even recruiting standpoint. I do think that this Virus will change human behavior along with business practices. Even for the environmentalists, I do think that the demand for gasoline will drop post Covid 19, as more and more people will work out of home. Edited April 9, 2020 by Magox 1

Excellent discussion Foxx. You have to remember that there’s a social aspect to work, shopping, sports, school and especially worship. While it’s futuristic to envision a world where we all sit in our homes and have drones plop everything at our front door, I’m guessing it’d be a pretty miserable existence. Consider dating for example. How’s anyone going to get together if the government says you can’t meet anyone in public? This isn’t the first pandemic by a long shot...and it won’t be the last. (WWI was so horrible that it was dubbed the ‘war to end all wars’ but look how that turned out.) 1

And just think of how many school districts built palaces in the last 20 years to placate ego inflated superintendents? Too bad that nearly all of those superintendents have moved on so they are not available to be tarred and feathered by the taxpayers. Also, teachers and administrators account for a lot of economic activity in many rural districts. Compressing staff due to technology will have the effect of depressing home prices and leave businesses such as small grocery stores teetering. 2

Thanks. The deep end of the pool is a way better place than the endless blame game and name calling in the other threads. Again, I see this is yet another evolutionary challenge. There’ll be some changes in society for sure but I highly doubt they’ll override mankind’s natural desire to socialize. The technology examples you cite gave people more time for leisure. But what happens when we’re instructed not to ‘leisure’? 2
