This was my thought today very young men storming the beaches of Normandy and the snowflakes of today terrified of getting a flu like virus VERY HAPPY we have shut our entire economy down my we have come a long way in the WRONG DIRECTION!!!

At some point they'll probably start eating each other!
CALIFORNIA - Los Angeles - PALOS VERDES
Palos Verdes High School student tests positive for the coronavirus, district says
CALIFORNIA - Ventura County (6-9yo)
Child Now Testing Negative For Coronavirus; Initial Test Believed False-Positive
LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) — A child who tested positive for coronavirus has since tested negative twice, officials from Children’s Hospital Los Angeles said.
CALIFORNIA - Ontario/Riverside County
Hospitalized Riverside County woman frustrated with lack of COVID-19 testing
A patient at Kaiser Permanente’s Ontario Medical Center said even though doctors finally told her she just had rhinovirus, which is a common cold, she feared for days she might have COVID-19.
….”We are definitely doing testing, so it would be inaccurate for anyone to say the county isn’t testing at all,” said spokesperson David Wert in a text message. “We have criteria, though, so perhaps what was meant was that someone doesn’t meet criteria.”
CALIFORNIA - DENTISTS
Coronavirus: Calif. Dental Association Asks Dentists To Cancel Non-Urgent Care
If you have a dental cleaning scheduled in the coming weeks, you may see it get pushed back because of coronavirus concerns.
Hey BunnySlippers when you get up to Carpenteria I am very close by contact me and we can get together!!
They’ve had the ability to test for flu for years. They’ve had the ability to test for coronavirus for weeks or even days in this country.
I see it both ways. Over blown by the msm yet still some serious stuff. Surely Italy has has some of these other viruses like H1N1, SARS, MERS. Why are they all of the sudden overwhelmed with this one to the point of deciding who lives and who dies?
My dentist and dental assistant always wears masks and gloves.
If they gave one to me when I visit we should be good to go!
ha!!
that bums me out (KY Derby). Why can’t the horses race without people in hats?
so what if granny or grandpa takes all the fresh meat and cheese and eggs let alone TP....what are people supposed to feed their children....
I think the moose was too busy biting my sister...
“ A VETERAN GP yesterday told how she beat coronavirus — by dosing herself with paracetamol, lemonade and chicken soup.”
Dr Campbell in his YouTube video today said paracetamol or anything that lowers temperature will worsen and prolong infection per UK researchers.
Yup. The only country that has a high number of “recovered” is China. That should tell us all something.
I went to Walmart this morning shoves were COMPLETELY EMPTY throughout the store I mean BARE NOTHING anywhere!! They made an announcement that the truck had just arrived and if we all lined up in the paper isle we could get one package of toilet paper and one package of paper towels!! They brought the boxes over and an associate opened the boxes and handed each person one of each item!! OMG looking at that store brought tears to my eyes I felt like I was in Venezuela I had to take a deep breath and compose myself!! To think that Americans were behaving this way over a flu like virus is just terrifying!!!
Send a garbage truck out daily to pick up the dead off the streets? Some parts of California are a third world country now. I'm sure San Fran Nan has a plan LOL
Some of us have been stocking up since January since we were paying close attention to this virus and what it could do.
My wife told me “here we go again, you are doing that y2k thing again”.
Now she just says: “Thank you!” and does the high five.
we shouldn't be surprised by their actions.....
hysteria is not usually explainable but this one has been refined to the Nth degree....
“The problem seems to be that we’ve had it so good for so long that when we are inconvenienced in some way, most people whine and cry like little girls...Hello, we have been the most pampered and spoiled generation ever and now we are getting the wake up call that life is not all bread and circuses.”
I suspect that you think like me. Many times I’ve thought about just how wealthy and lucky we are, and how that could all disappear. I’ve seen enough of it around the world, seeing houses in Bosnia with the front face blasted off, to show FIRST WORLD living, with nice rooms and garages, with new model cars and washing machines - and it all ended literally overnight for them. I always knew that it could all end that fast here too.
But others cannot conceive of it...or else they wouldn’t have allowed us to get sold out to China and sit on our military as if no other country was modernizing (particularly Russia and China)...just thinking that we are the USA! and therefore invincible. All the while claiming there are 62 genders and that there’s nothing wrong with drag queens recruiting little kids in library reading rooms, while they visit their ‘therapist’ twice a week.
Hopefully these people will come out of this humbled a bit...but it’s just painful to have to deal with their very slow capability to accept reality. But I think that with stores in many areas now virtually empty of food, that process may speed up a bit.
Yep, it’s a wake-up call. People aren’t going to take things for granted anymore.
We just assumed those supermarket shelves would always be full.
A friend in LA tells me some doctors are reluctant to give #coronavirus tests because if a patient tests positive the docs have to self-quarantine and therefore lose income." 5:02 PM - 16 Mar 2020
Like Gordon, but I have to see this verified. And it may be confusiuon on some doctors' part.
