    Coronavirus

    Fortunately we are considered an essential business and continue to work. We are not seeing routine exams for healthy animals, limiting vaccinations and are required to delay elective surgeries including spays and neuters. We have gone to curbside service where staff brings the pets into the...

    Coronavirus

    Excellent questions. There certainly is the possibility of cross immunity as the Corona virus family is large. Many harmless, others such as SARS potentially fatal. There are also a multitude of factors that affect how an individual will respond to an infection. Many of those are not yet...

    Coronavirus

    You don't understand it at all (sorry, blunt yes but you clearly are not a virologist either.) Viruses contain virus RNA (or DNA, depending on the virus)- not human, not animal. Viruses change and mutate often and at times that makes enough of a change to allow them to change which species...

    Who’s up for this again? Kid’s two year religious vacation guesses

    Too bad having to leave Africa early. This whole thing has messed up a trip I had a month from now to Rwanda and Uganda.

    Stupid neighbor dog just killed my chickens

    If you can prove it, they are legally responsible for the damage, both loss of birds and veterinary bills for the injured one.

    Any artists on here?

    Cool to see positive use of down time. My son (BYU student) is co-writing songs and my daughter who is on her 14 day isolation between returning from the Philippines and waiting mission reassignment is painting a mural on her bedroom wall.

    Coronavirus

    Agreed, this needs to be taken more seriously than some people are doing. Yes, people die daily of various causes- cancer, accidents, heart disease, flu whatever. But that does not mean we do not do what we can to prevent death when possible. Flattening the curve is indeed designed to lessen...

    Coronavirus

    @Noahfecks First, do you really think death of 500,000 or so Americans, with the associated hospitalization of those who die and the millions of others hospitalized won't impact the economy? Dead people make bad employees and customers. And that is besides the very simply fact that you are...

    Who’s up for this again? Kid’s two year religious vacation guesses

    Trying to convince my daughter (returned from the Philippines Sunday, and yes, I stayed in/on top of my car) that she gets the excitement of 2 mission calls as we wait to hear about a reassignment in the next couple weeks. She is a few weeks shy of the mid-point, so are optimistic she will get...

    Coronavirus

    A lot of comments on this already, and from a medical perspective several people did pretty much hit the nail on the head. As has been discussed previously, what makes an emerging ("novel") disease particularly dangerous is the lack of immunity in the population. Few if any of us are going to...

    She is adjusting fairly well. Day 2 of. 14 done! No idea when reassignment information comes, but kind of like waiting for a mission call all over again.

    Coronavirus

    I guess it is the same mentality that had people angry about government restrictions- we don't like to be told what to do, even if it can save our own life.

    Coronavirus

    We were there picking up our daughter who was one of those returning from the Philippines. We had received very specific instructions, with big red bold letters stating "must be followed exactly ". I guess I bent the ruled sitting on top my Xterra instead of in it to help spot my daughter, but...

    Odd how people can turn anything into a conspiracy..... Perhaps all those Italian deaths aren't real after all (eye roll).

    Lense thoughts?

    Balance is certainly lens quality v convenience. Changing and packing a variety of lenses is doable, but a little annoying at times. We have an 18-300 Tamron on the camera my wife uses. Good for most situations but quality not where it could be overall. Great guy. First met him at a RSL...

    Coronavirus

    The obvious issue is how do your quarantine everyone over 70 and those with severe chronic health problems and expect them to care for themselves? Since they need food, housing and medical care, suddenly you have those people to quarantine as well so they don't risk exposing those they care for...

    Lense thoughts?

    Spent several days at a photo workshop in page a couple weeks ago (highly recommend anyone wanting to up your skills to take a workshop with Mylo Fowler , @navajomylo on Instagram.) I will add some photos if I get a minute to the thread. But reminded me that the autofocus my 18-55mm lens no...

    What to look for in Binoculars

    Want to restart this discussion. Looking for an upgraded set of binoculars- thinking of spending up to about $800ish. Based on reviews and discussions elsewhere, have been strongly leaning towards Maven. But found some deals that could bring Leupold down close to my price range. Any first...
