That one isn't, but I think there is a drive-thru one in West Fargo that is still open.
West Fargo was known for it's gentlemen's clubs, when i was in school. Now it's a booming suburb.
Those are definitely gone. And part of the reason it is a "booming suburb" is some of the property tax decisions that Fargo keeps on making.

If they are, they didn't get a permit from me to certify the structural integrity of the pole mountings.... :mrgreen:

Georgia’s and SC’s numbers are promising. :thumb: Give it a couple more weeks past peak social distancing but cross your fingers.

Though the governor is trying to kill me, I'm hangin' in there. :kisswink:

It's day 18 now and as a whole the stats are very good. The number of tests are skyrocketing while the number of positives are flattening. The next week and a half will tell the story. Normal people are cheering us on while the lunatic fringe are praying for a spike in cases to score political points.

Hospitals opened up for "normal" business yesterday, with extremely strict guidelines. At my wife's lab, the machines running the COVID-19 tests are running 24/7 at full capacity. So much so that the heat generated from the machines overwhelms the A/C.

If Kemp doesn't kill me, I'll report in later. 8-)

If what klammy said the other day is true (that a lot of states and countries aren't reporting numbers on Sundays anymore), then the last two days numbers (which would include those not picked up on Sunday) bode very well for the trend of this thing.

Are they allowing visitors?
You matter. Unless you multiply yourself by c squared. Then you energy.

I believe it's only one visitor per room, and if you step foot on the hospital campus, you better be wearing a mask, strict social distancing, etc. My wife's hospital is so big that they have their own police department and cops are posted at every entrance enforcing the mask requirement.
