I think NG is going to be called to contain the huge homeless populations too. Don’t you?

As spring break winds down, they’re bringing back to the rest of us.

Keep an eye also on the Locusts in Africa. One of the countries that expects to be hardest hit is Iran.

On top of the corona virus.

You'd almost start to think this was a judgment by God on them, or something.

I always hesitate to say that because there's no proof and I will not say so for sure, but it sure looks suspiciously like it.

The stock market vs. gambling. Not much difference. If you can’t afford to lose the money, don’t play the game.

I take Hydroxychloroquine every day because I have an autoimmune disorder.

Interesting point to ponder about credit card debt. In short order people who have lost their incomes due to this virus will be facing certain financial hardship.

Even those whose incomes are above 100k per year often have this compete with the neighbors mentality. They are broke!

I don’t care about the credit card debts people have. My main concern is the home mortgages, car loans that people will not be able to pay.
A stimulus check will not fix this. Do you think President Trump will order banks to halt payments ts to these institutions? I am a huge Dave Ramsey advocate, I’ve seen the levels of debt people carry. It’s scary. There could be millions who will lose their homes and vehicles through no fault of their own even if they were living outside their means, they were still living.

A buddy of mine got yelled at by a curmudgeon yesterday. Come to find out, the underlying reason for the anger is that the guy just lost $40k from his 401k.

It’s a loss on paper at this point.

Only if you panic and sell everything will you get hurt.

Actually, I think the dosages are the same. 250mg or 500mg are available. They’re intended mainly for fish tanks. Fishcyllin, Fishmycin is what some brands call them. They’re available at the feed stores around here.

GA

The entire state legislature of Georgia, including the lieutenant governor and staffers, have gone into quarantine after state Sen. Brandon Beach tested positive for coronavirus — and showed up at the state capitol before even bothering to get his test results.

**** Strange, very strange morning here. Only sound of a lone cardinal. Cats, normally super active, completely subdued.
Like a Pharaoh plague now going over in the dead of silence.

For us, we feel positivity in the air.

Cats are always completely subdued, i.e., lazy, so we really can’s tell much by watching them.

I can see I-75 from my sewing room window, and there’s less than half of normal traffic. Lots of trucks as always, though, and that’s a good thing. There goes Little Debbie!

People need to learn basic life skills and get of the MEEE! mindset. The MEEE! mindset might be the biggest help to the community.

Life skill #1 - Learn to cook so they won’t have to go to the drive thru restaurant risking getting sick from a food handler. It ain’t rocket science. If our 10 year old can pull off an entire Thanksgiving dinner from scratch, surely grown adults can.

Another life skill would be to count out how many squares of tp you really need. No one needs half a roll at one sitting. TMI, 4 squares is enough for tinkles. And wash your hands, but you’ve always done that, right?

Life skill #3 - Don’t know that there’s much skills learning but do your own hair and nails. Sure, risk bringing back the virus to your kids all because you just had to go to the salon.

#4 - Instead of MUST go out and buy a new outfit, wear what’s in the closet or sew the button back on. Don’t people understand that new outfit was tried on by a half dozen germy people before you? And for goodness sake, no one needs to order another pair of shoes (to go with their other 450 pairs) or anything not truly necessary which ties up needful online orders and the entire delivery process.

Ok, so not what you’re asking for but a little change in behavior would be a big help in this situation.

Anyone want to list conditions these drugs are normally used for...those people might want to see about getting a script

I have a patch of psorasis that I dont take meds for on my knee. But if any of these drugs could be used for a condition I Have I would probably try to get a script..

Its like that drug that people think might help with alzheimers. People with psoriasis can get the drug.
