Hausmans June-Hotel

[nid-28]

I’m not trying to “stir fear” into anything. I was expressing my thoughts about the situation and I’m sure everyone has this on their mind. I hope things calm down and things go as planned. I certainly want them to! I have room reservations and plans to attend. I just had to cancel a trip to see my family in California next week and my yearly excursion to South America is in jeopardy. I don’t need to be chastised by you for expressing my concerns.

Number dead doesn't matter it's the death rate and I think nid is spot on. Don't ignore that .1% die of the flu and death rate of Covid19 is 2.3% to 3.5% (depending on source). We;ve studied the flu for years, we know nothing about this virus. So your typical Parker owner (who is older) is 25X+ more likely to die if they get it. It's like putting an unknown shot shell in an un-inspected damascus barrel (gotta keep it gun related right?). It's an unknown how many will get this. Here in Vestal they are cancelling all elective surgeries like knee replacements and things are starting to shut down including dentists. I don't think it's hysteria it's just uncharted territory we're in. This is worth a look and why social distancing works better than quarantines:

I do the surgical post-ops for a high volume cataract surgeon. When I got to the office today, I found out that he had cancelled all his upcoming surgeries, so today will be my last day for a while. No big deal for me--social security starts in April(66), but worry about all the young techs and office staff with kids etc.
So tomorrow will drive up and see Kenny Graft and hang out at his shop. Still no confirmed cases here in West By God Virginia.

You an OD Harold?

[Harold Pickens]

Yep, had an office at a local hospital,East Ohio Regional, for 30+ years. The hospital was shut down, so I went in with an opthamologist friend.

Private practice in Vestal, NY Cheers and stay healthy : )

[Harold Pickens]

you too, Andy. Hope to meet you at Hausmann's--always my favorite event of the year, will be really upset if it gets cancelled.

Andy, if you want to shoot SxS's some time, drive down to Rock Mountain Sporting Clays and hook up with Mike Koneski (owner) and me. Let us know to be sure we can meet that day. Yesterday there were 4 other regular SxS shooters from the Binghamton area at the club. We have a small but growing cadre of vintage double gun and pump gun shooters. Rock Mountain is south of Montrose off PA 29 and about 1/2 hour kind of east of Hausmann's. Open Wednesday thru Sunday.

As you may know Mike is the new co-editor of the Parker Pages.
