Knox County added another 93 cases today and one more death, now 9. Hospitalizations remain at 20. ICU Bed Occupancy is still at 89% with 30 beds open.That's 489 new cases in the last week.

Exactly!!! Not sure why people aren't getting this.

But, but, Glocks are perfect! Just had to throw that in out there. They are great guns. I own a Gen 2 17. It's my longest owned pistol. Had it since 90'. But just like all the rest of them, they do have issues from time to time.

Been out and about most of the weekend, in both Blount and Knox Counties and for the most part, the Anti-Maskers have been few. Most people are following the rules, as set forth by the health Department. Was in Kroger in Ftn Cty on Friday and only saw 13 people without masks. The store was very crowded. They ranged from children, to the elderly. Today, I went to Sam’s and saw just 6 without masks, including the Deputy they have hired for Security.

Knox County only added 17 new cases as of this morning. Unfortunately the hospitalizations have climbed to 20 and there were 2 more deaths, bring our total to 8.

93 new cases in Knox County today, with 17 hospitalized, still 30 ICU beds available, with an 89% occupancy. 6 dead total.

New cases in Knox County today was only 50 today. That's a significant decrease from yesterday's 70. Hospitalizations were down to 15. But we only have 30 ICU beds open. No new deaths. My wife and I were out and about all afternoon, both in Maryville and Knoxville and more people had them on than did not. I was at Kroger in Ftn Cty a short time ago and only saw 13 people not wearing a mask out of an estimated 200 or so people in the store. They ran the gamete from two young men together to an older couple and a single older woman. But everyone else was wearing a mask. Actually saw some disapproving looks at those not wearing masks.

My daughter was over to the house last night and she is looking for a new pistol. When she finds what she wants, I'm getting the little Keltec P32 back . Then I'm going trade the LCP in for something else. Maybe I'll trade it in on a SDS Fatih .380 or a Bersa Thunder.

Had 70 new cases in Knox County, as off this morning. 18 Hospitalized and another death. That brings the total to 6.

The Knox County Health Department is now. Mandating that masks will be worn in all public buildings and areas where social distancing cannot be followed. In addition, they reported another 50 new cases. And Knox County was a talking point in the State’s briefing, because of this spike we are going through. https://www.wbir.com/article/news/local/knox-county-mandates-masks-in-indoor-public-spaces-starting-july-3/51-7086a666-243d-441f-bbeb-abec12c23f8a There is a twitter link to the resolution, which references the state law that makes this possible.

Still not huge numbers like we saw in New York, but it's enough to tell that it's starting to go up.

You are not mis-remembering. The M6 was actually a .22 hornet/.410. And I agree with you. on it's usefulnees. The caliber selction makes no sense to me, honestly. I refereneced the Chiappa version of the M6. There are several other differences beyond caliber, though, It comes with two actual triggers, unlike the old AF survival rifle, which had a "pad". The Chiappa is a bit less blocky than it's ancester too, though it still has the general look. I believe it uses a lever loop (think Winchester 94) to facilitate reloading and breakdown. I believe the M6 used a latch for the same function. The Chiappa had interchangable chokes. for the shotgun. Pretty sure the M6 didn't. Like you, I would probably try to find an old Savage 24, in the calibers I wanted. I think the prices on the Chiappa and the old Savage 24/42 are realatively the same. And I like the asthetics of the Savage much better. Unfortunately. the 42 only comes in a .22LR or .22Mag /.410 combination.

I’m going to stick to a narrow definition about what your asking and just talk about a combo firearm. If I were going to go that route, then I wouldn’t go with a rifle/rifle, I’d go rifle/shotgun and I’d select a .22/12 ga. The lowly 12ga shotgun will take any beast in North America, provided you have the right ammunition, the skill and the bravery. Anything from a rabbit to a grizzly bear. The .22 is perfect for small game. All that being said, it’s a poor choice for a firefight or for long range. The old Savage 24 were excellent quality guns. Latter on Savage brought out an updated model, called the 42. I believe Remington also imported a combo made in Turkey and badged as a Remington. Chiappa makes a version of the old Air Force Survival rifle in .22/12 ga that the Air Force used. https://www.chiappafirearms.com/product.php?id=213

Big spike in new COVID-19 case in Knox County, 53. Hospital actions remain stead at 15. The state reported 2125 new cases. I believe that may be a new high.

Knox County had another jump today. 36 new positive tests and Hospitalizations went from 12 Yesterday to 18 to This morning. Available ICU beds remains at 39.

Nashville Metro Board of Health now requiring all individualS out in public, to wear masks or face coverings. https://www.wbir.com/article/news/health/coronavirus/nashville-metro-board-of-health-mandates-face-coverings-masks-to-be-worn-in-public/51-68717d5c-a587-4707-9a09-965b7b5f9723

272 Total ICU beds. 233 in use. 39 free as of this morning at 10am.

We are up to 151 new cases in Knox County this week, with 12 in the hospital. no new deaths. And we have 39 ICU Beds open. https://covid.knoxcountytn.gov/case-count.html

Hope no one is smart enough to buy that! That being said, I did pay $39.95 for 50 rounds of Speer Gold Dot 124 gr +P the other day.

That's the number of people in the hospital, as of 10am this morning with COVID-19. I normally am not too concerned with the number of positve cases either. But the fact that Knox County has seen a large rise in the number of cases, portends that hospitalizations are also going to be rising, which we are starting to see. As of right now, 9 is not a big deal. But there are only 22 ICU beds available, as of 10AM today. We could see those fill up quickly, if this continues to get worse. You can open that link and scroll down to near the bottom and see that information. Hat's off to Knox County Health Department for doing a great job getting the public this information! We are very fortunate to have such a great department!!!

Worst week in Knox County so far, with 117 new cases. 9 are in the hospital, but still only 5 deaths. This has been since the Monday report that Knox County Health Department releases at 10AM every day. https://covid.knoxcountytn.gov/case-count.html

True, but still concerning.

Knox County has seen a spike of 78 new cases over the last 3 days. That the most so far. Also have 8 hopsitalized. Both big jumps. https://covid.knoxcountytn.gov/case-count.html

Actually, I read wehre the Chinises shutdown several neighborhoods of Beijing this last weekend. I don't trust China's reported numbers. They lie a lot.

Yes that does work, but if you can get hand sanitizer, it's much easier to use and less messy when you are on the go. I was fortunate enough to get to very large bottles at Sam's back at the beginning of April. Now, they are selling a much smaller bottle for twice as much.
