Confused! US Mail and C****av***s.
This "end of the world v***s" is confining people to homes and hospitals. "Experts" insist the v***s can live on paper and even stainless steel, yet the Post Office is business as usual. Even to nursing homes where the most vulnerable live, the media encourages family to send letters and cards. The US government has asked FOIA requests be "mailed" to them rather than using email or on line requests. This does not seem logical to me! Does the US Post Office have some magical device to k**l the v***s?

I haven't gotten any mail in several days which is very unusual.

Funny, I was in a gas station and the clerk was not behaving as normal, being concerned I asked if she was alright and if I could do anything to help. Now, when I walked into the store, it was long lines and many people searching for this or that. The young clerk thanked me for my concern and said she was not feeling well. Can you guess how long it took people to abandon their tp and junk food to head for the door? Seconds my friend. Thing is, I bet each person used an ATM machine, opened a door, or rode on an elevator...but, they practically ran out of the store. My next question to the clerk was what was causing her to feel bad...she had cramps! I did not immediately laugh, only after I left the store after sorting through abandoned merchandize and helping the clerk to put thing back on shelves.

Americans are funny with this...
I just can't imagine that over here...
Although a woman's cramps should not be dismissed...

It's not a device. It's pixie dust. They sprinkle it on everything at the Post Office and then recite the appropriate incantations,
(the uninitiated call them "postal regulations") and bingo! No more v***s. At least, that's what the bureaucrats would like us to believe.

No. And if their employees contract this, and die on the job, they are required to do it "safely".

Ah, the mantra of the Postal Service!!
I really wonder why they aren't screening/testing us, since we're at virtually every business/residence every day.
I mean, how many could a mail carrier who is a carrier of the v***s infect in one day? Or even the people at the processing plants?
Of course, the mail will never stop, except for Sundays, and holidays.
Where I'm at, we handle the Amazon too.
When Amazon stops, it's time to worry!

It stopped over here for a couple of weeks...
Only food carriars... And they were checked hourly and wore protective gear... Didn't come into contact with people... Left the packages outside doors... Then we disinfected the packages..
If you see an unlocked envelope, don't be tempted

It's a strange environment to be working in now days for sure. Everything shutting down.
As of tomorrow, per Governors orders, all restaurants, and bars will be closed except for take out, or delivery.
And, Mrs. Bunker, bless her ❤ has to go through more crap every day delivering to the small town pharmacies, and hospitals........
But, she is screened twice a day, so that's a positive, right?

You might want to give her a screening or two as well
Just to be safe
