    Kind of searching this thread, because of a depressed friend.
    Not for PPE gear, but I have bought from Cherries Counter-Terror before (their deep concealment holster, twice actually) - Looks like you can contact them via their website: https://www.cherriescounterterror.co...dical-products

    They seem to be fairly well respected and the owner is a former Israeli Counter-Terror guy (Aaron Cohen). The deep concealment holster and their customer service have been fine. But I can’t tell you much else.

    I went back and checked the email and the links in it do go to Cherries’ website and Instagram, it appears legit as far as I can tell.

    And HP customer support which I guess I won't be hearing back from anytime soon. (I had been working with someone over there on diagnosing an issue.)
    There's nothing civil about this war.

    That makes an intuitive sense where you can imagine a critical illness puts a lot of strain on a body, a body with more fat reserves has more energy for burning even in a low energy state (I guess think hibernating bears)...that’s just my hypothesis, dunno if it really would work that way.

    But what you’re saying is, if I get cancer, I should get real fat right after diagnosis, before I start chemo? Awesome news from (not my) cardiologist!

    Gotcha. I had taken it to mean that being on keto meant being more susceptible to catching the virus.

    I've been thinking the same. There's actually a lot of tele-outsourcing to India in medical field. I've read reports of institutions contacting Indian radiologists to read their imaging studies and even use Indian docs as virtual scribes. It'll be interesting to see the consequences of that.

    So if I were in your shoes, I think I would sit my kiddo down and tell her to mentally prepare herself to kiss her stuff goodbye.

    Unless she has some gold bullion stashed in her dorm room, it's probably not worth worrying about. If the college shit cans it all, then I'd raise a fuss after all the dust settles and see if they'll cut you a check to make you go away.
    I was into 10mm Auto before it sold out and went mainstream, but these days I'm here for the revolver and epidemiology information.
