Well rack this up to something else I’ve never seen before. This morning I went grocery shopping with my wife to our local Sprouts and the refrigerated section for beef, chicken, lamb, etc. – all meats was empty. Plus, cause they were all sold out, I couldn’t even buy an onion for my homemade sandwiches…..a freakin onion! Who hoards onions?

Agent Kay’s back and I notice frogmart too on the last page. Kay, how do you figure 3 years though? Sure, everything is being affected, e.g. https://www.filmla.com/covid-19/, but 3 years?

And frog, does the cat with the blue glasses still post on the forum? I forgot his name.
And where’s Geoff D, haven’t seen him around since the last quiz.

Well then in the pursuit of broadening your imaging knowledge base, we’ll make this pandemic into a learning experience since you’ve got good eyes in picking out things.

So, this is an axial view of the thorax of a patient with documented COVID-19 (courtesy AJR). Disregarding all dem discrete round and branching ditsels so as not to confuse, question is –
Which are normal lung fields? The diffusely black regions….or, the diffusely white regions?

Waboman, if I ever have to be self-quarantined and you’re infected too, I want to be quarantined with you as I figure there’s no way we’d get bored over the 14 days.
Do you keep a place in thee O.C.?

Lol. You'll have to bring the toilet paper.

They cancelled schools here today. No school until at least the end of March. But spring break was coming up so that's not too bad. Kids are happy. Except my middle child who plays high school sports. They've cancelled/suspended all that too. He's bummed, then remembers school is cancelled too and that seems to right the ship.

On a continuing mission to find that elusive onion for sandwiches this week and for making chili tonight, I went to Stator Bros. today and got there as soon as they opened, standing in line with my wife like at Sprouts yesterday morning for about 20 min. before they opened up. No joy on the onion , so picked up a few other knick knacks - a few cans of clam clowder, a couple packs of napkins (also serve as a TP alternative) and some pastrami. While on one aisle I was shopping next to an attractive millennial who had her cart already filled up with about 100 items and out of curiosity respectfully asked what she was going to do with several of them, thinking she might know something I didn’t. Her response:

“I don’t know what the hell I’m buying. I’m just grabbing everything I can off the shelves.”

Well, because of cancellations due to COVID-19, if you have any older ones that may be interested in filmmaking, or anyone else here does, hear this (courtesy cml) :

FrameForge is an Emmy Award winning virtual film studio which will let all your students make easily films using optically accurate cameras, virtual actors and "physical" camera and lighting equipment. It runs on Mac and Windows and can produce both storyboards and animatics and has a very low learning curve.

We are offering a special deal for university (or other school) classes that switch to it: a 50% discount off our already low EDU pricing bringing the per student cost down to $29.99 for use of the program for three months.
If you aren't familiar with the program, the fastest way to understand it is to watch

this two minute video

we made with Emmy and BAFTA nominated director David Evans, on how he used it on Downton Abbey.

If you or anyone else is interested, email me directly at prez@frameforge3d.com and we'll get a coupon code setup for your students.
Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.

as well as potentially, if Adobe hadn’t opted out, and some of their young employees were to become infected either by travelling to/or being in attendance at, the Show, and only suffered the very mildest of symptoms, that such employees wouldn’t then unknowingly serve as a vector of transmission to the most vulnerable in their communities.

It’s a good idea to stay aware with updated accurate information however I think that constant bombardment with everything people can find on the internet regarding this situation feeds the notion that our country, or even the world is out of control leading to more anxiety rather than being helpful.

I try to confine myself to posting relatively exclusive - https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread...0#post17434410
or least relatively little known info that centers/organizations like the CDC might not have covered – https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread...8#post17437828
