I’m closer to a Mary than the male survivalist, and not just because I’m a woman.
I thought the stereotype was a total joke until the Wuhan virus discussions on my neighborhood social media site reflected the outrageous posts shared on social media. It is easy to find silly/crazy crap out of three hundred million people posting all the time.
My local community includes:
* report kids on play dates in each others’ yards, though they may have been coughed on each other for weeks nonstop
* OMG, there are too many people on the roads, NO ONE should be driving
* if you let your kids play outside during all this, you should be reported to CPS
* the SCHOOL DISTRICT putting locks on swings to prevent people from swinging on them
I had hesitation letting my son play in the pool, but that’s due to temperatures, not fear for his safety much less the coronavirus. I let him try to jump in several days in a row, because it is at least something to do.
