An epidemiological model suggests that opening the country up at Easter, as President Trump wants to, rather than two weeks later would kill an additional 450,000 Americans

Thankfully each state has the authority to do what they feel is necessary. My city opted to implement a stay at home order even before our state did.

Humm does for me it is city of ElPaso

Due to tremors in El Paso from the earthquake in Culberson and Reeves County, the 2-1-1 Call Center is offline as staff had to be evacuated. Calls will still be answered by the network but the local specialists are offline.

Boss just told me not to come back next week we will all be on furlough Xx

DAMN!

It looks like a bunch of the same size earthquakes are popping up along the middle of the globe. Almost like a perforation of sorts....

It's interesting, this situation is bringing out the worst in some, and the best in others. I went to TEN places on Monday looking for toilet paper. I'm not out- probably good for another 2 weeks, but I haven't seen any for weeks now so I decided I better try to find some when/where I can before I'm in dire straights. It's become sort of a personal obsession/challenge, hence why I went to 10 places in one day even though I don't need it yet. The last stop I made was at grocery in my neighborhood and as I checked out my few non-TP items I was talking to the checker about the 10 stops I had made that day looking for TP. A lady who was in one of those motorized carts on her way out heard me and stopped. She was an older lady and she interrupted and said she always buys TP when it goes on sale and so she has more than she needs stockpiled at her house. She asked where I lived and I told her. She said she wasn't far from me and offered to give me her address and said I can come by and she will give me some TP.

I'm telling you what, that warmed my heart. I wanted to hug her! But I kept my 6ft distance, lol. I declined the TP but thanked her profusely. I noted I still had a few of the mega rolls left and would be ok for a bit, was just trying to find some before I was out because I know it's hard to come by.

It's rather sad when we live in a world where one small act of kindness seems so foreign to us. I will always remember that lady and her kind offer.

Also, before people offer to send me TP I did find out one of my BFFs happened to get a 50 roll TP order just prior to this virus situation, so she's got me covered if I can't find any. I have no clue why she's buying TP 50 rolls at a time, she's single and lives alone!

Wowzers, not far from me. Didn't feel it.

Enjoyed this, very soothing music.
Thanks so much Mezzo,
We all love you so much..

AND GOOD MORNING ALL OF YOU WONDERFUL PEOPLE !

Local tv station has online headline about 3 quakes, and said viewers from around west Texas called in to report feeling the 5. I remember our dogs barking funny about that time, but can't say I felt the quake although people from my town called the tv station.

The fact that the quake depth is only 2 km is troubling - that area shows lots of horizontal ground displacement. Last year online I saw drone photos that show roads with sideslip, pipelines that are now crooked, fence lines that have zigzags.

Don't remember seeing any history of large quakes, but the tv station story says the 5 was the largest EQ in over 30 years. So guess there have been others. Will have to do some online research since the librry is closed.

No idea :( just had a long walk in the fields this is so not good Xx

Yikes! Don't put it like that!!!!

Yikes! Don't put it like that!!!!

What's interesting is that there aren't too many testimonies considering the size of this quake. And the ones that are there are fairly far from the epicenter. Maybe the epicenter was in the middle of nowhere farmland??
