Self inflicted as per usual:)

I dont think i have been to a barbers (other than taking my lad) for myself in over 25yrs.

Have a safe weekend all, hoping for a little window of sun later for some BBQ action.
 
My 30 years old Wahl's are still going strong, however I bought the optional various sized comb attachments, #3 on the sides and #8 on the top, helps keep the helmet hair in check! :twothumbs

Thank you sir, its pretty much the same hair cut(less grey in past)for the last 25+yrs. Every 2 -3 weeks rinse repeat(well other way actually). 1.5mm, or number 0. My lad is not over impressed though since the restrictions, he seems happy with a 6mm all over. I have done a 1mm back and sides and 6mm on top blended in..........gee sound like a hair dresser!

Stay safe:)
 
Virginia has been doing that. There’s a guy in my neighborhood that got caught with over 100000 in stolen goods and damaged. Yes, really, that they will not arrest yet because of the pandemic.

If you live in my state, this could be coming to your neighborhood too :mad:

"In early April, the California Judicial Council established a new policy setting bail at zero for most misdemeanor and low-level felonies to keep the jail population lower during the coronavirus crisis."

I think we need to consider harsher punishments as a deterrent to crime other than jail time. With all of these lockdowns in place, these violent offenders that suffer no consequences are going to get a lot more people killed than the virus. Within this last week, there was an arsonist who burned down some buildings in Mira Mesa, CA. A judge recently ordered some violent offenders released in CA against the wishes of the police. We can't stay safe in our homes with these criminals on the loose and no justice for the people. That's anarchy.

In the USA, we don’t allow the police to decide issues relating to the scope of our constitutional rights and how the criminal justice system will best safeguard the citizens as a group during a pandemic, while carrying out the goals of the criminal justice system.

It isn’t clear what violent offenders you’re referring to. In general, people are not in prison long, if at all, for committing misdemeanors and low level felonies. These are not the violent criminals we need to be worried about making us unsafe in our homes. Moreover, they aren’t going to kill anywhere near as many people as are killed by the virus.

In my state the numbers are trending in a favorable direction. Testing of symptomatic people at first (at the tail end of flu season) was about 30 tests for each covid case. We were rising in positives at about 3 days to double the number.

As they increased testing numbers and the flu virus cases dwindled it was as bad as 6 tests for each covid case. At that point cases doubled about every two to three days.
We have test centers galore now. The numbers of tested has increased tremendously now and we are back to about 10 tested folks per case. It now takes several days for positives to double. With the huge increased number of tests case numbers are still climbing but the trend is heading in the right direction.

Instead of a giant upside down V our curve has a nice long shallow pitch and is nearly flat despite all the testing. It's still moving up hill though so it aint time to get all cozy'd up with strangers in a movie theatre or buffet joint. But it is looking like safely having a nice steak on an outside patio or going to a golf ball driving range aint far off.

Our local communities are lobbying the governor with novel ideas on how to allow some outdoor activities to re-open (as many were closed for winter anyway) while allowing certain safety procedures to be incorparated. The governor is rumored to be listening intently at the communities. Our state has a balanced budget requirement on June 30 and with revenues way down he only has a short time to balance things out.

Here's the article about the violent sex offenders released by court order against the wishes of law enforcement: https://abc7news.com/orange-county-sex-offenders-crime-jail/6138210

Here's an article about someone suspected of assault, being brought to jail by a park ranger, then escaped and shot to death by police: https://www.cbs8.com/article/news/l...tody/509-ca96ea85-fbfe-4abe-9f6c-0e93ef5f1121

Either there is more to the story than that article, or the police are tired of catching and releasing criminals that are trying to hurt people. Be careful out there. It's turning into the wild west.

A nearly flat logarithmic curve is still an accumulation, as revealed by the linear curve (but everyone is still going to go golfing)

We still need to get everyone else tested after the symptomatic ones have been taken care of. My state is planning on doing some serology testing in some communities to get a sense of how many asymptomatics and recovered people there are.
