Not just Texas.

A Walmart spokesperson would not discuss whether any employees have tested positive for the coronavirus, but a statement from the company said “like the Orlando-area, our stores have felt the impact of the coronavirus.”

Lots more time now to read up on recipes and watch grilling You Tubes from guys who have won grilling contests. I did ribs and steak so far and learned some new methods. .
Ah, grilled ribs.

Gary! The thing that is "new" is that I did not grill the ribs this time.

I watched a whole bunch of different YouTubes about making them in the oven. I've never cooked ribs in the oven. Ever.

I tested out a few different techniques. The one I ended up liking best was from this Lousiana guy (of course, because they're the people in the US who understand "good food" ) and it was a 5 hour exercise.

I started with the membrane-removal on back of ribs, because I like them to almost fall off the bone when done, and that really does help.

Then I used a concoction I made from scratch from some Memphis recipe I found.....and rubbed them down with that real good.

Then into the oven.......and I had to use my digital timer because there were different temperatures to each step; during some parts of it ribs were wrapped and other parts not. I had a small sprayer that I had apple juice and vinegar in, and I sprayed them down every so often as well so there was no "dry-out".

Then of course the final touch, like the star on your Christmas tree, the brushing on of the barbeque sauce at the right interval.

Honestly, they came out much better than "on the grill". I am amazed.

After weeks of progress we have taken a step back this week.
Governor extended Phase 2 for at least two more weeks (but most likely a month).
About 3-4 restaurants in Lafayette have temporarily shut down due to positive Covid tests for their employees. People just don't trust going out right now.
This has been our slowest week in about two months.

All this coming about 10-14 days after all the protests over the death of George Floyd...hmmmm...timing is perfect for a spike in positive cases.
Also, people in Louisiana just can't stop getting together and partying. I've been to a few places where it seems they are taking no precautions at all.

We are taking every employees temperature every day and getting my entire staff tested.
This is not good.

Hoping your business makes it thru this, POT

Living the same dream. My staff has been pretty much heroic. They roll with the punches pretty well. A few have really stepped up. If we survive I see some future managers developing. I still have about 5-7 laid off

Let me give you some local facts, not phony #s. Please scroll down to posts 4670 and 4671 on this page (takes 2 seconds to find). Twitter posts from Jeff Stone... Hope this helps with clarity

I’m a Texas physician. We’re seeing patients for routine care that just happen to be Covid+. They come to the ER for kidney stones, appendicitis, etc. and get dx with Covid on admission. This makes the Covid situation look worse than it really is.

===========

The rise in cases is being driven by testing. In my LTC facility, we've seen additional positive cases, but most asymptomatic. If symptomatic, very mild. The virus is losing efficacy.

I've heard that some of those YouTuber's even smoke them.
