      - But then where would you store the bodies? -- nm - Open Baron Apr 20, 11:11 2
        
        Bay Harbor. -- nm - Shaun Apr 20, 11:12 1
        
        That's disposal not storage. -- nm - Open Baron Apr 20, 11:15

- I assume some hospitals in COVID-19 hotspots would welcome additional staff, although I expect this would be a quite a burden for the medical workers. - Mop Apr 20, 11:00
- One of the big hospital groups here just furloughed a bunch of people today as well. - spamlet Apr 20, 10:54
- My brother's hospital furloughed something like 30%. Because they cancelled elective surgeries, they have no cash. -- nm - loosilu Apr 20, 10:45 1

      - The idea of using $1200 to buy $7 oil is tempting but I wouldn't have room to store 170+ barrels in my apartment. -- nm - Max Apr 20, 10:35 4
        
        169 barrels. You'll live in the last one. -- nm - Open Baron Apr 20, 10:38 2
        
        I could tie the barrels together as a houseboat and float out into international waters. This is brilliant. -- nm - Max Apr 20, 10:50 1

      - Wrong. Roenick was so invincible, my friends and I banned the Blackhawks from being picked. -- nm - Shaun Apr 20, 10:26 2
        
        Jeremy Roenick in that game could have beaten Contra, Super Mario Brothers and Sonic all at the same time. he was SO overpowered. -- nm - Turd Ferguson Apr 20, 10:42 1
