I wonder where they were. It seems the college towns are the ones hit hardest, well unless Big Sky is a hot spot. Big Sky has too many out of towners so they could be bringing it with them.

and it lists the MT death but says it is “unassigned”. Gallatin County has the most cases at 38, I wouldn’t doubt that Big Sky as the hot spot. Missoula just went from 6 to 7 cases overnight. I hope the shelter in place order slows it down.

I'm not far from Gallatin county and hope that it doesn't hit hard here. I see most people observing precautions but there are some dumbasses who won't, no matter what.

who came here to Missoula to purchase some product from our business. He blew through 3 signs saying we were closed to all walk in traffic...the first one at our gate, the second one on the door of building #1 and the 3rd in building #2. Our mistake was not locking the doors...we’re back and forth between the buildings so often...we thought people would read the big red signs. NOPE! The bad news is that guy was headed for Bozeman next. Idiot.

The "it can't happen here" crowd will be the death of us eventually, unless they have some kind of rude awakening.

It is to your comment regarding letting your employees go and hoping you can survive this.

I am listening to GG's telephone thing he does and today it is about Covid. A lady asked something about her small business and what they can expect... His answer was something about an SBA 7A loan. I can't remember if he said call the SBA, the bank or credit union..

I'm sorry that I couldn't find paper quick enough to get it all down but by the time I repeated SBA 7A running around, the rest left my brain.
