It goes beyond typos. One example he claims that the rescue dive team told the gentleman's wife, they were 100 % sure that if he was in the lake, they would have found him. This lake is 218 km2 in area and around 900 feet deep, and has a history of not giving up bodies.

I listened to him telling the story of a missing camper by Harrison lake. At best he wasn't really familiar with the area, at worse he was deliberately misrepresenting it

While probably few, if any, I wonder how many of these missing, wanted to "disappear"?

I work in trucking. We do a lot of medical supplies. We have been deemed an essential operation by the government so we do not get effected by shutdowns. Prior to this all going down my boss was in Europe, Italy and Spain to be specific so he has made it back stateside this week but is in quarantine. That leaves me in charge of the entire show as I"m #2 for the company. We are a cross country carrier so on a daily basis I have to interact with drivers that are just coming back from runs across the country. We service Maine to California. God bless these drivers for being on the front line and willing to drive and deliver anywhere in the country despite fears. So far we have had 2 employees that are awaiting results, they have come back negative for FLU so Corona test is next, they most likely have it given the symptoms. We have strict cleaning regiment we have to perform every 2 hours and we have to wash our hands at least once every 30 mins. I've had to balance my week between calming down scared employees, running the operations, and on conference calls and meetings about what we do next. I have to do my best to keep this thing going, I have a lot of drivers, warehouse workers and office staff that need their paychecks as long as they can. Plus we are delivering things to hospitals that are necessary to operate. I"m both mentally and emotionally worn out tonight, and I cant go see my gf because I dont want to expose her to anything. I go to work and come home trying to interact with the "public" as little as possible. I hate the idea that I could be a carrier that does not show symptoms and could be spreading it at stores or gas stations but I need to keep doing what I can as long as I can to move essential items and keep my people paid as long as possible. Stay safe out there people.

Dean Koontzs was pretty close 38 years ago.

Today is my last day working on site. I'll be working from home 'til at least late April. Possibly extended, not likely reduced. I hope to leverage this .. use what was 45 minutes commuting to work to walk down to the river and fish for 45 minutes, use my hour lunch for a walk instead of surfing the net, and add the 45 minutes I spent commuting home to the time for yard chores so I'm in a better position for goofing off when summer comes. Just have to see how effective I can be. Everybody be safe. MIB

*Political finger pointing follows*: The 2009 swine flu, the same virus that infected @ 27% of humanity and killed @ 7% of humanity in tge two year period of 1918-1920, originated this time in Mexico. There was no way in Hell the American government at that time was going to even utter a peep about "travel restrictions" with Mexico when 5% of all Mexican nationals in existence at the time were already in the United States illegally.

This COVID 19 thing is a media political event. No one seems to remember and are certainly not being reminded that the H1N1 swine flu infected 60 million Americans. 270,000 + were hospitalized, 12,000 + died. No travel restrictions, no quarantines, no mass event closures, no political finger pointing.
