Morning southernindymom.
Let me begin by saying you are right.
Mostly.
But you're a little too rough on us peasants,as I argue.
Here we are living our lives out here across the fruity plains, carrying this country on our backs.
All of a sudden the highest caste in our system, which would be the elected politicians and their appointees, come up some kind of virus thing. They tell us to wash our hands, don't touch our faces, stop breathing. They tell us there will soon be no antibiotics, much less toilet paper. They bombard us all day with tales of misfortune. Finally, the drive our 401K's into the gutter.
But you know what indymom? It won't last long. Because, as we know, we carry this country on our backs. We don't have their power but we got the numbers.
We have kids and houses and cars and damn I need to get my nails done.
Let's give it one more long weekend. Then we are going back to church, to our weddings, getting our nails done.
We weren't gullible. We kept an open mind and some of us bought a whole lot of toilet paper just to give us peace of mind.
Hey, maybe a long weekend of no crowds and staying home is all is needed to starve the virus, which is really no big deal but they hyped it so much that....we didn't know what to think.
Americans are not going to put up with it much longer. Next week we're going to church, we're getting our nails done, the stock market will go back up.
That's my assessment. I'm sticking to it.
It takes at least two incubation periods of social distancing to break a virus chain of transmission. This bug has an average of 14 days and outliers till nearly 40. 24 days is a better number for adding a safety margin. That’s 48 days of mandatory lockdown via local LEO and the national guard.POTUS has already said that forced limits on internal travel is om the table, the man never says anything unless he means it so that outcome is real.
Now ask yourself do you have enough food, and yes toilet paper to last at least 48 days of being forced to.stay in your residences? If not then now you know why intelligent people are stocking up for just this reason.
As a point China has been on lockdown nearly 6 weeks and the virus is barely contained if you even believe their numbers. Italy is 3 weeks into mandatory lockdown and they still have exponential growth they just locked down the whole country it will be at least 6 weeks if China’s model works longer if they have quarantine breakers. The time to think this will be over by a weekend or two weeks has passed to continue to think that way is clinical denial. Our government on both sides have said this is a multi month if not multi year problem.
The Best case is two or three months of disruption to everyone and everything thats the message that Cuomo gave his people in N.Y. he is right and I normal can’t stand the man. This is not.going away due to “summer” or fades out on it’s own while new hosts are available for infection. All this virus knows how to do is infect a hostx replica and look for a new host that’s it. As long as new hosts are with it’s critical threshold of infection distance it will infect and replicate. Lock downs are coming soon our exponential growth curve shows a doubling rate of under 4 days and the CDC is barely testing still the rate is faster.
Oh I totally agree. I am just sick and tired of the continual bombardment on President Trump and then to have to see all of these people be totally moronic. It does save me having to spend time watching the news. OAN is the ONLY NEW NETWORK that is not 24/7 corona.
