I’ve not missed a single day of work since January 3rd.  Seen my share of death and injury but none from Cov-19. Mostly car wrecks. 

It seems the less crowded the streets become the more severe the carnage..  Made a terrible one yesterday involving a teen that attends a local university.😔

 I’m looking forward to retiring.

Rick, we have argued on this topic so I will preface my question by saying upfront that it isn’t meant to challenge you or get any specific response out of you. I am honestly curious.

Has the risk of infection changed how you respond to emergencies? Did the department institute new safety measures to protect your or victims? 
My assumption would be yes in some way but also seems like it would be difficult in some cases. 
Thanks in advance for your response.

Yes. It changed nearly every shift for a week or two but we worked the kinks out.

Luckily, I and my management team were moved to the main hospital campus to assist there since they closed our facility on March 17th.  Due to the shut down of elective procedures and out patient services, I have seen many hospital workers either furlough or had their hours reduced.  I do not know anyone personally that has contracted the virus.  We re-opened our facility this morning under strict guidelines.

      Judge orders Florida State, ACC to mediation to settle suit

      It's all about how this gets settled now. FSU, Clemson, Georgia Tech, UNC, Miami, Duke, UVa, Va Tech, NC State, Louisville, Pitt, and Syracuse will find homes in the Big Three Conferences that will be left. My guess is that the B1G gets UVa, UNC, Duke, and Georgia Tech, the SEC gets Va Tech, NC State, FSU, Clemson, Pitt, and Miami. Louisville and Syracuse will go to the Big 12, probably with UConn and Stanford. Cal gets WSU and OSU to join their new far flung setup with BC, SMU, and Wake Forest, while they add in Memphis, Temple, Tulane, USF, ECU, and FAU to join their league.

      Tennis Advances @ the AAC Tournament

      not to bad with a young team and their #4 being out for the tournament. Stone deserves another 1-2 yrs to get stability in the program after max exodus the past 2-3 seasons

      Rubin didn’t leave UNT for NIL money

      I don't know if we will ever see a 4-year player (or should we take this path) with recruiting or player development again. IMHO we should not waste our time recruiting HS players unless they are certified difference makers that will or are ready to start game one. Unfortunately, I don't think we'll be able to a attract that type of player (yet). Our path to relevancy in the college basketball dialogue is winning by bringing in older, more experienced players even if it's only for a year or two at the end of their eligibility and then do this season after season, hanging banners and firmly establishing our program. We need to do this with 22-23 year old players not 18, 19 and 20 year old players.

      UTRGV Leaves WAC for Southland

      I grew up in Edinburg back when Abe Lemons was their basketball coach. Their finances are more stable now than back when they "withdrew" from the Belt.
