I'm surprised no one has brought this up yet. In my state of Oklahoma only three people have tested positive. My college extended spring break for a week and cancelled classes. Events are being cancelled, people are going crazy and hoarding toilet paper. Thankfully, I have enough however I'm still afraid to walk into a store and see the isle empty.
I'm not afraid of getting it myself if that were to happen. I'm healthy and recover quickly from colds and the flu. I'm concerned about getting COVID-19 and spreading it to people who are older such as my grandparents . I'm also concerned about the viruses overall impact on the economy.
I hope people are taking personal responsibility for themselves and staying home if sick and not spreading it to people who have compromised immune systems. This virus could be fatal to them.
Any other thoughts? I plan on traveling soon and taking a bottle mixed with bleach and water since I'm assuming I can't buy disinfectant in the store and wiping down all surfaces in my hotel room. The virus can live on plastic for days. Not to a foreign country just a neighboring state. | ||

All the eggs were gone. All the milk was gone. Most of the canned and frozen goods were gone. Most of the bread was gone.
This is insanity.

~ There are some kind souls among us. When this all started and there was no hand sanitizer to be had, I went to Walgreens for some 90-proof isopropyl alcohol and aloe vera gel to make my own. There was =no= alcohol on the shelf of any strength. I mentioned this to one of the employees there. He said "Wait here a second." He disappeared into the back and returned with a large bottle of 90X alcohol for me. He said, "This is from my private stash." I thanked him and said, "You're a very decent person." | ||

It is disgusting that there are a few 'entrepreneurs' (and I use the term loosely) that are buying up all the toilet paper, paper towels, sanitizer, etc. and then selling it on amazon, etc. at several times the original price. They are trying to make money off this situation. I bet they aren't reporting their income to the CRA or IRS though.

It is a snowball effect. I wanna know why people are stupid enough to be hoarding easily perishable food like milk and eggs. What the hell are they thinking? I better have a fridge full of milk to last me the whole year! It doesn't work that way! Milk goes bad in a month. People are stupid.
Like, canned food is totally understandable. If it's the apocalypse, you'll have food for years and years. Toilet paper, too... I guess. Priorities, amiright? Whatever. Anyhow, I'm a little bit germophobic and this situation is making it worse. I wanted to get some hand sanitizer but naturally there's none to be had. So I made my own with alcohol and a bit of glycerin. And hey, there's no alcohol either. | ||

It's gonna get weirder before it gets better. The college where I teach has spent the whole weekend issuing contradictory statements. At first, everything was going to be on a normal schedule this coming week and then shut down the following week. The logic, if you want to call it that, is it would give faculty time to prepare to transition from classroom to online instruction. WTF? I don't need a week to do that. I can move my classes online in a couple of hours. Then last night, after the governor ordered all K-12 schools shut down for the next two weeks, they reconsidered and suspended all classroom instruction, effective immediately, except faculty and staff still need to report to work. Like there's actually anything I can do in my office under theses circumstances that I can't do just as effectively--and more safely--from home? As a diabetic, I do fall into a 'high risk' category, so I can seek an alternative arrangement from HR, which I may well do when I get to work in the morning. But I'm still not hoarding toilet paper! | ||

I totally agree!
Generally, I buy t.p., paper towels, bleach, laundry detergent, etc. about twice a year.. I looked in both bathrooms and the linen closet. I'm fine.
(this was to clear up space AND for my aunt to not cook much)... I just made: stuffed shells, 41 meatballs, 2 kinds of lasagna, etc. to "have" and to free up space in my kitchen. At times, if I get free time, I go on cooking jags, lolol. I'm not going to live in fear. All schools are closed, our diocese "relieved anyone from the obligation of Mass". We must be careful, not reckless OR just plain stupid. | ||

Well
We're closed for the rest of the month (schools, some businesses, etc.). We're ok as far as food (and still have TP to spare!). We don't need much. I feel that we MIGHT be over exaggerating a bit. Yes, I know there are ever-increasing cases and some have died, but statistically this is nowhere NEAR the high numbers that Influenza kills off in a year. Just saying, it's pretty stupid how a lot of people are acting.

I have to go in to the college,
but no students.
The huge King of Prussia Mall was FORCED to close! yikes! I was at the supermarket today. It was a surreal scene. A lot of businesses are suffering. Broadway and Radio City Music Hall are dark. All of the museums will take a hit, too. Afterall, all of those bus tours, etc. will be awful. | ||

Okay, so I've been sitting here in my office all day, waiting to hear from HR about my request to work from home, and have gotten absolutely no response. Kinda frustrating, since there's nothing I can do here that I can't do at home, except for occupying this particular space. Kinda frustrating. If I were more paranoid, I could delude myself into believing they're intentionally ignoring my request.

Shortly after writing the above post, I finally got through to HR and they told me they were putting my name on the list. The whole time, I got the impression they thought I was already working from home and weren't terribly concerned whether I was at home or at my office. Afterward, I e-mailed my supervisor, related the gist the conversation and told her I'd be working form home, pending further word from HR. She was totally supportive and probably relieved that someone had taken a decisive action today.

This whole thing is disturbing
I mean, in the past, I've watched some truther videos of people warning us about such a thing........most people (including me) thought something could happen, but I generally shrugged it off thinking that the world is supposedly ending for decades now....and nothing ever happens. Well, no one is laughing at them now. I'm not sure what to think because no one I know knows anyone who is sick or even been tested for this. They are going to start putting armed guards at the hospitals. It's total Twilight Zone. I keep hoping this will blow over and all will be back to normal but so much damage is being done each day.
whatever you do, don't go down some of the rabbit holes I went down on Bitchute...there are some CRAZY theories out there! About hoarding perishable food. Yeah! Isn't that stupid? That's why we only buy non-perishable things at Costco like toilet paper, detergent, shampoo ,razors...things like that. | ||

It is way to close to home now. We have a confirmed exposure here in Bridgman Michigan where I live. Keeping in mind that exposure doesn't mean that the person actually has it. They were just in a distance of another person that is either a carrier or has it. I have not heard anymore since this broke two hours ago. With that being said. I have done everything I need to do. I am well stocked up with groceries. I have everything I need for work. I have TV, Internet, books and plenty of housework and unpacking to do. I have kept myself within only certain people who pose no risk and nobody else.
It took being here in Michigan before my mom finally got serious about this. My younger sister Tara who works in a nursing home told my mom she needs to get serious. Berrien County has had to declare a State of Emergency. I was working on a project with my boss for reopening the restaurant. I wanted to do some research and have some kind of date before I submitted my thoughts. With in a one hour driving distance radios there are 44 confirmed cases. This is Berrien County and Van Buren County Michigan. This includes Saint Joseph County, LaPorte County, Lake/Porter County Indiana. I don't know what to think. Would this seem like a lot? Or is this a small number? Chicago is only a hour and half two hours from here. They have just over 1,500 cases. I was okay with the 44 cases, really uneasy having one right here in the same town I live in. But knowing the number in Chicago regardless of the fact that Chicago is shut down is just scary now. The strange thing is that I am more concerned and scared for my boss. I'm scared about watching all the hard work she has done for the last year going down the drain. I am so afraid of watching something I have worked so hard to help create go down the drain. That would just be completely devastating. How is everyone else doing? Andy | ||

College Student Here We had an extra week of spring break and all classes will be online once break ends. There are many arguments going around whether University Of Illinois should refund tuition or just give everyone passing grades for this semester. | ||

The community college where I teach is completely online for the remainder of the semester and campuses are being locked down as of 5:00 p.m. today. No word yet regarding the summer session, although I strongly suspect that will be online as well. No tuition refunds or automatic passing grades. I'm sure I'll be giving F's to quite a few students who have let their coursework go since the campuses were closed. Many mistakenly think they're on vacation. Graduation fees have been waived for students earning their degrees this spring and summer since commencement exercises have been canceled. No word as to whether or when it will be rescheduled. Meanwhile, there is nothing to be done except hunker in the proverbial bunker and move forward as best we can.

Pretty sure I've got it.
Been sick as a dog the past two and a half days. Feeling better today, no fever, good appetite. I had all the symptoms: fever, dry cough, shortness of breath, aches, discomfort. My mom and dad and one sister have it as well. Strangely, my sister that does NOT have it, is the one who's a nurse in a hospital dealing with infected people! My dad had a fever on tuesday, but he was fine the next day. Then I stated coming down with a fever thursday night. Saturday, my dad started getting sick again, now on sunday he's got a fever again, but everyone else is doing better. Dunno what's that about. My dad tried to get tested today, but they ran out of tests like as soon as they opened. He's gonna try to go super early tomorrow morning. 'This is not the flu' Well here's my thinking on that. What I had is pretty much just the flu... but much more annoying and more contagious. I was pondering the situation in my feverish delirium, and it occurred to me that under these strict quarantine and lockdown conditions... a strong strain of the virus would infect a couple people and then they'd get isolated. Whereas a weak strain might give someone the sniffles and it wouldn't be taken as seriously, and therefore would have more opportunity to be communicated to other people. With that logic, it makes sense why I got off pretty easy. As for all these lockdowns and such... yeah it's ruining US. But yeah it's necessary. But also, yeah, it needs to end. Soon. There is a point where we won't be able to bounce back from this. | ||

I also worry about the vac shops and other small businesses. If this continues much longer, small businesses may close en masse, leading to complete economic collapse of the small towns here in Kentucky that depend on small businesses. If those small businesses close, the town won't be able to collect taxes, which will lead to slashed budgets and urban decay. People will lose their jobs, leading to mass bankruptcy. Those same people won't be able to stimulate the local economy because they are broke. As a result, no one will want to open up a business in that town. If there are no stores left and no new stores opening, people are going to leave for a more prosperous town. Something similar happened several coal mining towns in Kentucky when the coal supply was depleted. Jobs were lost, stores were closed, and now those towns sit vacant. It's a vicious cycle that could completely destroy Kentucky. There are tens of thousands of hardworking people in this state who are at risk of losing it all. If this doesn't end soon, Kentucky and many other states will end up like this. Granted, it is an extreme example, but one that is entirely plausible. Also, I'm bored, and have run out of vacuums to tinker around with.

Something the media is not telling us to
do is boast our immune systems. By eating the right foods, exercising and taking vitamin B and other supplements.
It is my theory that people who have gotten sick or worse have had compromised immune systems to start out with. Our food supply is basically garbage with all the fast foods, etc. All of this combined with the CDC guidelines such as washing your hands should help us prevent death. Just my opinion. | ||

. Although
we were kinda told it would.
But, we know better. Our governor has now asked us to cover our mouths when we go out. I have a few surgical mask that I used for painting, removing plaster, etc. The last time I wore one was while helping Bill Edstrom service a Kirby. I finally wore one today when I went to the store. Surprisingly, a LOT of others wore masks too. | ||

We have been staying home and running our Rainbow with the green germicide in the water to wash the air. It runs 24/7 on low speed. We stocked up on groceries to last a month. Funny, I don't miss eating out at all. One good thing that has come out of staying home is I get to make a lot of unusual meals that I normally don't, either out of time concerns or unfamiliarity with new ingredients. I've been reading my Martha, Ina, and Julia cookbooks for inspiration. My dishwasher runs at least two loads a day now.
Hope you all stay safe, and when your check gets here, don't give it to Christina. I should have known she would know where to find the boys, and the booze. | ||

Thanks! Glad to hear you say that too. My neighbor was sure at the time, I said got it from where? I really am a stay-at-home take long walks outside clean freakbut I find out afterwards that they almost son was sick a week before and he felt he had it, and a friends with benefits of mine was sick with the same symptoms 3 days before me so I assume one of them. Again I think that makes me pretty safe now which is great. 👍😁

I was watching a video with this German doctor talking about Corona, and he made a lot of sense. He was saying the places with the most serious cases and high fatalities are places with terrible air pollution. Consider the worst places now: Northern Italy (they also smoke too much and like to hug), New York City, Los Angeles, and Wuhan. All severely polluted places. In other words, all those people have lung damage already.
I was originally thinking I had a weak strain of the virus, but now I'm beginning to think that it's really not that bad at all, but it does attack the lungs, and if you have any kind of lung problems, you're screwed. Also, my sister's Corona test came back positive so that means that me and my whole household has had it for sure. | ||

I got hit with something nasty back in early February but I didn't have really any of the symptoms and nobody else caught it. Mostly I just felt bad with aches on a Friday night and it lasted the weekend and started going away by the Monday after. Fever, nausea, weakness getting up and down, no appetite, etc. No respiratory issues.
Still it was strange, because I rarely get sick anymore to that extent. Also right around then my grandfather got very ill and started falling multiple times and passed away in February late. Hearing about the Coronavirus made me wonder if it was related at first but I think it was something else, likely just natural causes since he was in his 90s. I did worry this week because I heard a case spread in Georgia from a funeral. We had the funeral in early March which was right when the virus was starting to come in and with people coming from different parts of the state and other states I worried we may have contracted something but it didn't seem to be the case and you'd think we would've had symptoms by a month later. | ||

I really pray
That everyone who was laid off will get called back in. We will need those workers back after this is over.
A former adviser to Obama said it may be 18 months(a year and a half). Hopefully that theory is not realistic. Hopefully we can go back to work by practicing social distancing sooner. Then I hear it’s going to be two months or so. The sooner the better! On the positive side there may be a pent up demand due to donations. Hopefully after this the thrift stores will have some nice vintage vacs! | ||

I got laid off in January but not officially until last month when I got the paperwork which was fine because HR called to let me know that someone in my department tested positive which I told them I wasn't around anyone or even there since I hadn't been there since Jan. They had no idea I wasn't still there and also I was all clear. My neighbors have been great giving me extra work and I'm actually making more working for all them then when I was putting in a full 40hr week. I volunteer with Habitat For Humanity and they have a back load of pickups so I know there will be plenty of things also the same thing for garage/estate sales too.

Meh
Last weekend my wife found out one of her employees got it. I woke up Monday having fever, sore throat body aches and headaches. Me and my wife had to get tested since her employees has it. I had to get tested because of my wife and the jobsite I'm at if I tested positive it would shut down the whole jobsite. That's over 100 workers.
I got tested and no covid for me or my wife. My wife there quarantined all of n3xt week as 2 more people have it. You ccn boost your immune system but if some dirty bird gets in your space your getting it. I sat home for 3 days and I'm going nuts. I started my classes up again and we're using Google meeting and doing class over that. We will finish in 3 weeks. I'm just glad to pass the class. I told my wife the disease came from a bird or a bat. That's why I'm petrified of birds and bats. It didn't help the guinea pig bats went rogue and we're all paying the price. I think china should be held responsible for every death. They get low to no tax on foreign goods and control our economy with loans. I say okay china we have no defecit . They are killing people and our economy is taking a dump get Putin and trump and get warships and ask china if there up for negotiations. The above mentioned won't happen quite like I hope. You better believe china is going to pay the pied Piper. Every country holds them accountable there going to comply. It's the moral thing to do with honor. Sorry on the rant sitting home all day is boring. Stay bright stay alive and be positive. Les | ||

I'm surprised you tested negative, those symptoms sound similar. Odd chance that you caught the regular flu, I guess. Did you or your missus lose sense of taste and smell? That's a bigger giveaway.
The virus is more or less man made. When it first came out, scientists were talking about how it had genetic markers of HIV, which would not occur naturally. Of course, that information is now being suppressed. Wherever it came from originally (the States, btw), it escaped from a virology lab in Wuhan. On purpose or by accident is another question. The bat soup is just a silly meme. Although it is likely the wet market in Wuhan (a stone's throw from the virology lab) had something to do with it. Test animals, perhaps? Fortunately, the virus is nowhere near as bad as THE MAN would have us believe. We're far enough in it by now that we have enough numbers. The mortality rate is at or below 1%. The reason there are so many dead is simply because it's so contagious that many more people have had it, than people have had the flu (which incidentally kills 30,000 Americans yearly). It's all about numbers. If you throw out the number 70,000 dead, it sounds like a plague. But that's less than 0.3% of the population. Is it bad? Yes, it's bad. Do we need to continue to destroy our country and its people's livelihoods? | ||

Idk
The loss of taste no. The loss of smell idk I had allergies I couldn't tell. Thinking you may have it makes you imagine things are worse than they are.
We are both negative. She gets another week off as I think out of 12 workers 6 have it. I'm just glad she doesn't. I think it's funny the face masks are required. Yet we went fishing at a small park at a pond nearby. There was three sets of kids 8 total kids in 2 hours pass by us. There was not an adult within 300 feet of them. I only seen one parent. The kids didn't have any PPE on. People are scared if you look at them and while others don't care. I just wish the virus was done. It will in time. Les | ||

What's so scary about this virus to me is you really don't know what the outcome will be if you get it. Healthy young people sometimes die from it, yet there are people in their 90s and even over 100 that have survived it.
I think the death rate could be as high as 5.5%. I'm hearing all kinds of numbers. I don't think we'll ever really know the death rate unless we could say for sure how many people had it with no symptoms or recovered and never were tested. I heard this year was a particularly bad flu season apart form the virus. Back in January the week of the Super Bowl I got very sick on a Friday. Just very weak, stuck in bed or in a recliner all day Saturday and Sunday and started feeling better Monday. Also kept waking up with sore throat. Then a few weeks ago I thought I was getting sick again. Fever all day, achy, headache very tired. But it couldn't have been because I went to bed early that night and woke up fine. | ||

I live in Florida and we started reopening this week. Beaches and parks now open with distancing. This week restaurants could open up for indoor dining at 25%, as well as non-essential retail.
Going out today almost looked like a regular day, except for a few stores still closed. I don't know how I feel about it, a lot of people are ready to be done with this. I understand people have to work and get back to life. I have to admit I've been able to work through this so far, we've been very busy and I'm in an essential field, but I don't work with the public. After not being in a store in a month, I did something bad and went to a garage sale, they can open now too again. You had to wear a mask and distance. It sounds bad but after a month+ of no fun, I gave in to temptation and risked it. On another note, don't want to create false hope and make people think the situation isn't still bad. But there was a report out of AZ this week that scientists have found a weakened strain of the virus. It suggests it may be starting to become something weaker. That's interesting, because that's what happened with SARS in 2003 before it fizzled out. Not sure if it means much, but there is a glimmer of hope this will not be with us much longer. | ||

You know, a LOT of that is fear mongering... and a bit of fake news. Check the link below. Different media outlets reported the deaths of children in the UK, Portugal, and Belgium. THEY ARE ALL THE SAME CHILD. It's absurd! The media is grasping at straws to make the virus look as bad as they can. Yes, some young people die, and some old people live. There are always outliers in any statistics. The same can be said about the regular flu. There are some young people that die from it. So far as I can tell, in my humble opinion (not to mention having had it), it's not that bad. It's nasty, but it's not the black death. Just a nasty flu.
I've heard lots of people talking about having a nasty flu in January / February. It's entirely possible that was the first wave. I'm not saying we shouldn't be cautious, though. CLICK HERE TO GO TO MadMan's LINK | ||

Keep in mind that this is regular flu season. The news dominating everything and making people paranoid about having Coronavirus is what is overwhelming the hospitals. People rush to the hospital just to find out they have the normal flu or they are hot from hyperventilating from being in a anxiety or stress panic.
The common flu attacks your immune system. Coronavirus attacks your respiratory system. There is no way to not know you have it because it happens quickly. People go from being fine to being on a ventilator in a hospital bed in the span of under 12 hours. It's very aggressive. Keep hands and face clean, dose up on vitamin C from those airplane sickness tablets or with orange juice (or both) and keep in bed. Ramen noodles work fine at keeping stomach acid down and won't make you sicker as opposed to eating burgers or pizza or etc. Most people in good shape recover from the flu in less than a week. | ||

Flu
I got the flu or a virus 3 times. I don't think before this I had it that many. Times in my life.
One of the times was a week long all similar symptoms of covid. My wife had it and went to ER twice. If I were to guess it could've been covid then. We had an earthquake in late March here. When Rudy Gobert touched everything shutting down the NBA and that was Saturday and the earthquake was a Tuesday I think. We had fake news 9.5 earthquakes. My wife called saying goodbye. I was in shock. It's just been chaotic I don't watch the news. I say get outdoors go on a hike, biking or even fishing. You need to get out get some sun and enjoy life. This constant stigmata it seems like it's impending doom everywhere all the time. I worry some but I now know tax time I'm running another water line and I'm getting a bidet. I'll be darn if those toilet paper hoarders are going to affect my hygiene. Les | ||

Has anyone found it strange that...
Nobody has gotten Coronavirus at Lowe’s, Walmart, or Home Depot? It would be a national story because you know some whack job would attempt to litigate against one of these companies if they even remotely suspected that they became infected in one of those locations.
I’m also a little shocked at the original narrative that it increases “exponentially” day after day. None of that has happened yet, either. Folks, we were victims of a deadly (to the elderly with underlying causes) virus and we were even more victimized at the terrorism that we created in our minds over this virus. I currently know of one person who recovered, oh and a 102 year old at my friend’s nursing home that has recovered. Unreasonable fear sucks, doesn’t it?! | ||

Yeah, this is a sick joke at this point. Old people in nursing homes dying of the flu is nothing new. And of course with any disease there are a minority of outliers... like some young folks. But when doctors are literally being paid to write 'corona virus' as cause of death on any death certificate they please... you should know that this is a load of BS.

The problem with this, is while if you don't have some unknown underlying condition, while you'd probably be ok going out, you could still get it and never have any symptoms. So when you come in contact with those who are older or otherwise could be at risk, you could give it to them that could have bad results.
Or even giving it to those who could also serve as carriers and then you've got a wide network of spreading the crap. I'm skeptical of whether a vaccine will work or not. They're trying all they can to get one and already be ready to distribute and manufacture. In fact, some are already being produced in hopes they end up working. We really need to get back to life and get things moving again for everyone. I think the best way to do that is to stop this virus before it can take over the immune system, but we don't have a way to do that yet. Here in FL we've largely started to reopen. The stay at home orders were lifted this month. Restaurants and non-essential stores at 25% capacity, and of course essential businesses never closed down. I think they are moving too fast though. This week salons and barbers could reopen with one patron at a time. In a few days gyms and bars can reopen. How can you socially distance at a gym where people are touching all the weights and equipment. And who is going to wear a mask while working out? How do you run or breathe well in a mask? Even all the thrift stores in my area have reopened. Goodwill has plastic shields at the checkouts, masks, gloves, one way aisles, etc. Habitat is the only thrift I know that hasn't reopened but they are probably going to in a few weeks they said. | ||

It's a risky business going out in public and being around a bunch of filthy disgusting people, touching things that they've touched, breathing in air they've breathed. Not knowing what kind of germs you're bringing home, or spreading to other people.
But that's no different from any other time before covid-19. | ||

does your community strictly enforce 'social distancing' & require that face masks be worn in public?
BG requires face masks be worn in public but doesn't strictly enforce 'social distancing' it seems like the Meijer store in Bowling Green got too 'crowded' unlike kroger or 'the * symbol' where the line of customers are very long btw the symbol is the store that used to be called walmart (unless its name got shortened to *)

Yeah in Chicago and surrounding 'burbs masks are required. Honestly, I'm perfectly fine with that. It's an annoying, but reasonable compromise. It's the other lockdown stuff I'm not OK with.
As for the 'second wave'... a lot of people are thinking this WAS the second wave. Lot of folks had a nasty flu in December or January. I'm of the opinion that that was the first wave. | ||

2nd wave already
Very interesting. I hadn't heard about people thinking this was the second wave.
If that's the case I'd say it was indeed worse than the first with NYC etc. It is still so strange how that happened there, yet here in FL things didn't get all that bad (IMO). Miami-Dade, Broward etc are still closed as they had a lot more cases, but it's starting to ease up even there. I wouldn't disagree that it was circulating in December and January. That seems to be the common opinion, hospitals in some areas were getting people with sever flu-like symptoms but it wasn't showing up in tests. So they didn't know what it was other than some kind of flu. Although I'm still of the opinion I didn't have it, because when I got sick it was only for about 4 days, although it knocked me down fast, whatever it was. But this was a particularly bad flu season, so I think a lot of people that were sick likely had something else. I'm just ready to get back to normal. In ways it already feels that way, since I've gotten used to staying home on the weekends. My credit card bills are way down! Most likely I'll start going out again soon. Places are open again, and the weather is nice. As long as I stay apart from people and wear a mask, I think I'll be ok. Masks are not required here, but I wear one whenever I go in public, which hasn't been often. I haven't been to Walmart, Publix, etc in two months. It wasn't until last few weeks I started going to the Dollar General, since there are fewer there. The second to last time I went nobody except me had a mask on. Hoping this stuff just fades out on its own. The numbers are still high, but they are falling in general. Wonder if it's the warmer weather? Although that doesn't seem to make a widespread difference when you look at other countries. | ||

This whole COVID-19 thing has really become a huge social issue. This week alone I have pretty much been told that I don't know what I'm talking about and I just need to shut my mouth if I'm that clueless. However I do know more than what people give me credit for and fine. So be it. So things with some friends basically ended with me saying "If you think I'm that stupid okay fine. You do your own thing. But when you get sick and are suffering from the COVID-19 then you better shut up and take it like a man" And with the way some of them are acting they will get sick.

Hi John.
Hopefully all is well on your end of the country. In reality I'm happy about the whole thing. I'm doing better than ever. What they don't realize is that my business partners husband works for the local hospital system up here and is right in the thick and middle of it all. My younger sister is a RN and in the thick and middle of it all. So I know more that what they realize. I maybe just an Accountant. But I now a few things. And like I told them. When they get sick... And they will. All they can do is shut up and take it like a man. They lost their right to complain when they acted the fool. | ||

Well I got notice I go back to work on Tuesday the 26th and I also found out 2 people tested positive in my department and let's just say that "Karma" has bitten one of them. They may not be returning as they've been sick since the 22nd of March. They're opening up the resort but the 3 pools here will not be opening which won't stop people using the many lakes here. I'm either one way or another on the entire thing but time will tell. Now back to the regular scheduled programming 😬

Here we are in December and.....
It is still all going on. Everything is wooing through waves where I live. One week Walmart will be out of TP the next soup. It is ridiculous that people have not figured out that that helps NO ONE. They get too much and try to return(they can’t) so they just take from all those who need. It is ridiculous.

We are under a mask mandate. Masks to be worn in public at all times. I just have to shake my head sometimes though. A police office for the city came in to pick up his two repaired vacuums. No mask. An elderly lady came in to buy bags for her Oreck. No mask. Young woman with a young child came in to buy a Shark filter. No mask on her or the child. Only about 60% are wearing them. I wear mine all the time - yet I'm the one who has to "clean" their filthy vacuum. The price on bagless vacuum repairs reflects how nasty I find the chore in the age of Covid.

There are mask mandate signs everywhere near me.
Truly, IF everyone wore them in the beginning, the virus would have been under control, shrunken by now.
Last week the White House tree arrived. Everyone was wearing a mask, except "Melania". All of the partygoers who will not wear a mask "Nobody tells ME what to do" can be thanked. Luckily, Dr. Fauci has been retained, vaccines are on the way. Can't we think of others? Do the right thing. So, we can all be here NEXT year. My class was the last class on campus until at least January. We're all home. | ||

I wear my mask whenever a customer comes in the store. I had dozens of masks made and printed by ChicagoMike (here on VL) for the Collectors Convention this last September. They advertise my store. However, when someone comes in without a mask trying to give me money, I don't turn it down. Sorry, not rich enough to turn down money. My mask is on me, and my Rainbow 75th Anniversary Model is running with germicide in the water the entire time. There's so much dissolved germicide in the air in the store it smells like a hospital in here.

They are starting to enforce masks
now everywhere. The signs have been up since April. NOW, people are being fined, businesses are being cited/fined/ even closed for 'non-compliance'.
I've even heard store workers aske people to 'please put your mask OVER you nose". Some people just won't listen. A few, on their deathbeds, said, "I guess it WAS serious". Others STILL said, "nope". we cannot be responsible for other people's action. But, sometimes, sadly, we have to pay for them. | ||

I got into it with a friend of mines boyfriend. He was a jerk in elementary school and not much as changed all these years later. He posted pictures of him walking around in the store with no mask because it was "his God given right." We went around for a few minutes and it kept going back to it being his "God given right" to not wear a mask. So I told him yes it was indeed his "God given right" to not wear his mask. But if he was carrying the virus and gave it to me and I got sick from it then it was my "God given right" to sue him and squeeze him for every penny he had for making me sick.

People see where this road goes. It's not hard, you should, too. Lockdowns and restrictions in the name of covid are tyrannical. Straight out of a dystopia like 1984. In certain countries, they track where you go. The gov't actually knows where you are at any given moment, in the name of covid. In China, they will imprison you in your own home (if not actual prison) at their will.
Freedom is a god given right. However, it's not always free. Hence the motto: live free or die. This holds true now more than ever. 'Oh but people will die' is not a valid excuse to roll over and let your government rule every inch of your life, I'm afraid. Choices like this are not easy. While you may not agree (why wouldn't you?), you should at least be able to respect the point of view. | ||

I'm so sick of wearing masks. But like the war, I feel like this is probably going to drag on for years now... I wish it would be like the Spanish Flu and just go away after 2 years max, but it doesn't look like it's going to. And amazingly during Spanish Flu they didn't even shut everything down. The NY Philharmonic was playing aside from a month or so. Masks? A month at most. Amazing.
I've already had Covid, what I had last year was worse, so I'm not particularly worried about it myself. Different people have different outcomes... | ||

As of today in the U.S. about 460,000 have died due to Covid since March 2020. That's several cities worth of people.

A good friend of mine is an EMS person.
He's around COVID a lot. He had a heart attack a few yrs ago. I asked him if he was getting the vaccine. He said, "No". 2 weeks later, he emailed me: "I have COVID. It's AWFUL". He's on the mend now.
Being a teacher, we should be getting the shots soon. We'll see. I feel my supermarket is cleaner now than it ever was before. There are spray, towels, etc at the entrances, etc. There are wipes for the carts, etc. I'm not reckless or fearful, just careful. I have masks everywhere, sanitizer, etc. WE MUST wipe down the desks, etc after each class (we have 2 in-person days). I'm careful. With the vaccine finally getting 'out there' , it would be a shame to get sick now. after all of this. So, just be careful and do what we're supposed to do. All will get better. | ||

Trying to coordinate my vaccine at work. We are doing them on site in our convention center. Being the largest hospitality and gaming industry has its perks | ||

When your number is up. Brandon, why am I picturing a roulette wheel at the door with a red carpet, buffet, and hookers nearby this clinic?

I got my first dose of vaccine on Thursday. Second one on April 1st.
No reaction other than my arm was slightly sore. Hopefully the second shot will be the same. Most folks I know that have received the shot have not had any reaction. Some have had a tired feeling or slightly upset stomach. Still better than getting Covid. | ||

Gee, Greg! I've had BOTH of my shots and had No "after effects." Nurse who administered my shot said only about 25% of those getting 2nd shot have any effects. I know only one friend who has had any problems... | ||

From what I've heard, whatever one gets after the 2nd shot only lasts about 24 hrs. I'm in no hurry to get the vaccine until it has a better track record. I will be wearing a mask when around people for at least the next two years. It's not a problem. | ||

A few hours afterward I still feel okay. My arm is a tiny bit sore but that's all.
