If you do not have any expectations of what is happening or could happen, how do you "know" anything?

This thing has ‘tentacles’; Election this year, census, hostile congress to the president, etc. The chances for politicians to incite social disorder is quite large, IMHO.

Having fun storming the castle.

I know you are old and expect to this is about how you are going to die. But its not.

Unfortunately, you will live to give other people on FR grief for years to come.

The short read: Wash your hands. A lot. Have three weeks worth of food. And if it appears in your town, stay the hell away from the hospital if you want to live.

If its bad...they won’t be able to help and your bed at home is more comfortable.

Too long/Didnt Read. (TLDR)

1. You are not going to die.
2. You WILL be impacted, but not how you think.
3. Social Media and the uninformed are going to go ballistic.
4. SET YOUR expectations NOW. Don’t ALLOW yourself to be surprised.
5. Your primary health goal is to stay away from the hospital.

I have internal green houses growing my basil.

Pesto and ? two time a week for for three weeks!

Cilantro for the salsa and spanish rice the rest of the week.

Small fresh stuff is the best.

So basically, you cite some “credentials” to boost your credibility and set yourself up as an expert who should not be questioned.
And CERTAINLY should not be sassed, oh no.

Gotcha, Doc. You’re the boss, yep.

I am a doctor (or was) and I don’t know what’s coming. At this point I do think what’s coming isn’t Captain Tripps. Here we are weeks in and the Rats want to argue whether we’ve reached triple digits (in this country). So whatever the “R0” or “communicability” is it ain’t end of the world stuff. We don’t really need an impenetrable barrier which is unrealistic just enough of a barrier to blunt the force of the wave. A lot of people may get sick. There may be a bunch that even die. Maybe even thousands. But I do think if it was “Capt. Tripps” we would know by now.

Second, throughout the rest of your life your primary goal should be: STAY OUT OF THE DAMNED HOSPITAL. If you can avoid going to the hospital on any given day of the week--avoid it. If things get sketchy and the system gets overwhelmed...stay away. Don't visit unless you really have to. Aside from the fact you are not going to die...your chances of dying skyrocket if you dismiss all of the guides for staying healthy and you have to go to the hospital.

Now...onto the "hysteria".

Hysteria? This preceding paragraph was hysterical enough. Your bona fides are herewith rejected.

Really.

I have to get shoulder surgery and I want nothing to do with going to a place I worked with surgeons I know and respect.

They are just really horrible places to be if you are not going to die.

If I plan for the apocalypse, then I should be ready for anything less than that... No?

Well sure.

Don’t you know the mortality rate for hospital employees is 80%?

Ok believe it.

Go to the hospital today. Take a walk around.

Honestly, I do not care if you live or die. Well, I would prefer you to die, but thats not very Christian during lent.

I would be happy if now that I have stated my peace, you just went away and crawled up in a hole.

In the time you have been around in this iteration and your previous one, I have never seen you express a positive comment or a constructive comment based on anything other than the smell of your finger when you take it out of your asshole.

This will be the last time I address your...or any of your crap. I welcome the rest of FR to join me.

You are a cancer and a danger to any community in which you are member.

No it isn’t, the text has nice paragraphs.

Can I assume you’ve never read anything longer than, say, a Tweet? Certainly not Tolkien or Dostoyevsky?
