Ditto what Mike said; much the same here.

As a single guy, I eat out (not much of a cook).  With all restaurants
closed, I may be shedding a few pounds.  Crazy!

Here's the rub...Why is it we can't eat out or be in a group of more than
10 people yet the grocery stores are packed with hundreds of people?  If
the mean old virus is anywhere that's where it would be, right.

Look at the numbers, things don't add up.  The liberal and the left has
brought America to a standstill.

Here is an Important Message for anyone who receives this email:  If you
forward this correspondence, PLEASE DELETE THE FORWARDING HISTORY, which
includes my email address!  It is a courtesy to me and others who may not
wish to have their email addresses sent all over the world!  Erasing the
history helps prevent Spammers from mining addresses and viruses from being
propagated!  IT ALSO PROTECTS YOU.

No trees were harmed in the creation of this email, though numerous
electrons were horribly inconvenienced.

America today than we had 100 years ago.

We=E2=80=99re getting by here in Roscoe, IL, still playing with Spridgets an=
d TRs and Spec Racers. Exponential growth is a dizzying thing, and I love ou=
r guy Dr. Fauci. He doesn=E2=80=99t care about politics.=20

Fortunately, our small business has a department of defense component, and m=
ore importantly right now we are 35% medical  actuation, so we are hoping to=
 avoid a shutdown. We=E2=80=99ve been asked to ramp up production of an actu=
ator we make (YouTube search Zoll Autopulse; that=E2=80=99s our actuator in t=
he guts of the machine), and we are rapidly working to help with ventilator d=
emand. Conservative models show we will need 100,000 more than currently exi=
st. I now know a person who has it, a healthy 40-something Colorado ski bum w=
ho air bnb=E2=80=99d her place to an Austrian who had it. She is just coming=
 off 5 days of 102F to 104F fevers.=20

Stay safe, all.=20

Hi Ron and Spridgiteers,
Ron can you tell me where I can find that link of the actuator you make as
I searched youtube for Zoll Autopulse and there are a lot of training
videos for CPR training but I don't think that is the actuator you speak
of. Ron keep up the good work.

Also Ron is there anything that I can do in helping your company to get
more of these actuator's produced? I just want to help.

Lastly sorry I haven't been checking with the group list in such a long
time, I've been pretty busy teaching (now virtually) and often use FaceBook
as images help more with our Spridget work.

Updates here in the NYC/NJ area: I just received good news from my good
friend and teaching colleague that her  daughter is pregnant with the
family's first grandchild. The not so good news is she is a nurse in the
critical care pediatric unit in a Washington DC hospital, she is due in
September and the mom-to-be is young (20-something). Our new single mom,
 school nurse is also a part-time nurse in a local hospital, she said they
are begging for part time nurses to add more hours and she is nervous as
PPE is running very short.

If you are like me you have loved ones across the globe, and many at
different ages and health conditions, mine are in NYC. I love this group
for the reality check as I always get great advice and above all happiness.
Please check in every so often to know you are all safe and well and ask
for help when needed. As for me I love tent/camping and I am gathering
leaves for what we campers use for you-know-what...............wink! Yes
I'll burry it when I'm done.

Huge virtual hugs to all, be well,
Linda
