“No hysterics. Every individual person can stop the spread. What are you doing?”
We help an elderly couple on our block. He had been in the hospital on the same floor the first victim died. Then he was in rehab - two people there died.
He and his wife just finished day 7 of their 14-day quarantine at their house. I get their food, pickup mail and packages. Decon it all before bringing it over and setting on their porch.
One of their friends is always going over there, goes in the unlocked front door and visits. Will go to the store and bring stuff over. Doesn’t wash his hands, etc. Wants to know if there is anything he can do - etc. He’s the type that just likes to hear himself talk.
We’ve tried to explain that they need to be left alone - one: the husband might give it to the visitors or two: the visitors might give it to them (they are in their 80’s). The friend says “Oh - I NEVER get sick! I’m not worried.”
We told them to lock the front door but they wouldn’t.
Just found out that their friend now has a fever! If it turns out to be the CV, at the least it means our neighbors are shut in for another two weeks starting yesterday. Arrrggghhhh!

? Where did you get that number from?
I still don’t know what you mean by your statement: “You are already dead.”
I have a very powerful immune system. I rarely get sick, except for sinus infections.
A year ago, around this time, I did contract a bad case of Strep Throat, but that was due to an Oral Surgery that took a while to recover from.
My only problems are back and spine problems and a slight heart defect that I was born with.
Why are you so worried about the virus? I believe that if you think you will get sick, then you will get sick. A self-fulfilling prophecy, if you will.
Since this paranoia started, I have helped my mother prepare. I’ve helped her purchase food and other items. She is a paranoid person, so I’ve been one of the zombies who have purchased toilet paper, paper towels, etc. That is, when the stores actually have some in stock, which is rare.
I’m not causing any suffering for others, so don’t accuse me of something so absurd.
I fail to see how I’m “reckless”. I’m an introvert and don’t go to stores unless I have to. I much prefer the company of my two dogs and cat to the company of most people.
I know that I won’t become ill from this virus but, if I suspected that I was infected, I would happily isolate and quarantine myself from other people to protect them. So don’t you dare accuse me of being “reckless” or selfish.
As I stated before, it is very hot and humid here, so I doubt the virus can survive in our area.
I am angry at China for this mess. I hate that dumpster fire of a country. During the “Russia, Russia, Russia” insanity from the dems, I told many people that China was our most dangerous enemy, not Russia. Hopefully, now, they realize that I was correct.
I also hate China for torturing and cooking poor dogs and cats alive in their damnable markets.
But, I also hate and fear the erosion of our civil liberties during this paranoia. Are you not afraid of what this could lead to?
Are you not afraid that forcing businesses, especially small businesses to close, that we could experience another economic depression? And that could cause people to blame Trump and elect Biden (or Hillary)?
Many Americans will suffer financial disaster from the overreaction from the government. And that wouldn’t bode well for President Trump.
I would still vote for Trump, but many would not because they would blame him for the crumbling economy. The media would definitely be pushing that narrative.
Of course, people should use common sense and be cautious. Unfortunately, the hysteria is getting out of hand.
“Until then you will be the problem that infects and kills people.”
And FILLS UP our hospitals so that people who play by the rules and get sick for other reasons, can no longer get care.
