I’m still not sure what to make of all this.
On FR, I seen the gamut of “It’s just the flu” all the way up to “We’re really screwed”.
I’ve heard every possible idea of how to treat it from strong whiskey all the way up to massive doses of Vitamin C, D and even zinc.
I’ve heard every possible thing about containing or mitigating the virus from “It’s gonna happen - we can’t do anything about it” all the way up to FULL QUARANTINE - CLOSE THE BORDERS.
I’ve heard everything from “Anyone under 40 should be fine” to “Yeah, everyone is so screwed”.
I’ve heard everything from “Aw, we’ll get one bad round of it and then we’re done” all the way up to “This is gonna last months and months”
I’ve heard everything from “Trump’s doing what he can regarding this” all the way up to “This is gonna cost him his re-election”.
I’ve tried to sort thru it and make reasonable precautions at home. Stocked up on some extra food. No, not two months worth. More like several weeks worth. Bought some Clorox. Am trying to avoid crowds and maintain six feet distance from others. Am trying not to touch my face. Am trying to wash my hands more than usual.
Just having way too many problems trying to take in and synthesize all the info I see on here.
