Today we (the US) went back up and had a record number of new cases in a day. Our number of deaths has also just met that of Spain and after tomorrow, our trend will surpass theirs. What looked like the start of a slowdown a couple days ago has accelerated back up again. That being said, the...

Just yesterday, our Governor issued an executive order for people who have tested positive to stay home and self quarantine for 14 days. Just yesterday! I know we are a small low density state, but things are spreading here and many who are infected, haven't even been tested. No order for...

Well, it’s worth a try. Put your La Crescent in the most protected place on your site. It’s a wonderful grape for the flavor. Good luck and let us know how it works out.

I had a hankering for Szechuan flavors, so . . . Mapo Tofu with green beans.

I'm over in Fargo, so I feel your zone 4/3 border pain. I would NOT recommend La Crescent. It is not hardy enough and folks above say the middle of MN and north have pretty much given up trying. If you have a protected microclimate, maybe. Brianna is a bit hardier, but I've had trouble here...

Reports from several folks driving by saw the parking lot packed full.

Guns and ammunition? Just a guess.

Our local sporting goods store was packed with people today. I don't understand.

Well, that is a bit complicated because there are many factors. Population densities vary a lot across the country. Normalizing to percent population doesn't tell much other than maybe some kind of individual risk. The absolute numbers of infections and new infections per day do tell us...

Here are a few things I've made recently . . . Homemade flour tortillas call for wet burritos from scratch. I made Kimchi-jeon which is a savory Korean kimchi pancake. Yum! Finally, I made Masala Dosa - this is a fermented rice/urad dal batter with potato masala inside. It is served with...

Not to be a downer, but the data keeps getting worse for the US. Our number of daily new infections continues to accelerate with over 32,000 new confirmed cases yesterday. It appears the US is somewhat unique in the world for not being able to at least slow the rate of new infections by this...

I'm not sure where you are getting your information, but the consensus seems to be about 9-19%, on average, mortality for normal ICU operations in the US.

I now you said you are not looking for answers, but let me provide some for others. The coronavirus particle size is about 70-90 nanometers. That is 0.07 micrometers (microns). A HEPA filter standards are to filter out 97% of particles down to 0.3 microns. So, they are not very effective at...

Sorry, my previous data was not correct. New cases are growing. This was as of the end of yesterday. We've topped 200,000 cases in the US today. These are new cases PER DAY.

For those who are interested, I have been charting the data from Worldometer for some time when people started to compare Italy with the US. I also have been looking at Spain while it was a hotspot. It appears, based on the number of new daily cases, that we are on the cusp of it starting to...

Yes, I can say something about Crimson Pearl. Several wineries around me are growing it now. Our climate is a bit dry here, so we haven't seen problems with black rot. But I have to say the vines grow well here. They don't suffer from early bud break like Marquette does, so frost risk is less...

Door to door delivery is illegal here. We can self distribute to liquor stores. But I think most people are staying home.

I'll second Crimson Pearl.

Comfort food. I made a pot of pinto beans and mashed potatoes.

Yes, people can pick up. The problem is we are not in town and most people are just hunkering down in their houses and don't want to drive 20 miles to pick up wine.
