If he caught it doing everything right, the rest of us don’t stand a chance.

More resolved than ever to just stay home.

Reposting for those who may have missed this -

Coronavirus social distancing limit is at least four times TOO SHORT because infectious droplets can fly much further than current 6ft restriction, study warns

The study, which was reported by the Telegraph, found that viral droplets expelled in coughs and sneezes can travel in a moist, warm atmosphere at speeds of between 33 and 100ft per second (ten metres to 100 metres).

This creates a cloud within the atmosphere that can span approximately 23ft to 27ft (seven metres to eight metres) to neighbouring people.

It has also been warned that droplets, which contribute to the rapid spread of covid-19, can remain suspended in the air for several hours.

Wills would do better to look at the long term of ruling the country. He’s the only one with more than one shared brain cell.

May God be with your Dad.

I know what it’s like even without covid. Sneaking in snacks, etc.

My husband was in a Memory Care home until he passed on Jan. 20.

I am glad he went before the lockdowns started.

yeah, but think of how the country would love him for it. And it could help cement his legacy.

Probably waiting to hear if Trump pills work

Cuomo asks for Drs and nurses from rest of country.

We have full hosps in NY, empty hosps (for covid) in many other areas, and airlines desperate for business...
I could think of another solution.

Oh, I’m so sorry for your loss!

Beau lost both his Dad and Step Mom last year. All of us in the family are VERY glad we didn’t have to worry about them during this crisis, as well.

Beau’s Sister works in the care facility where their Mom was last year; I think we need to send her some flowers this week!

I’m planning on another stocking up trip this week since this has been extended thru this next month and likely beyond. I’m out of cheese and mustard of all things. So I’ll be checking over what I need better this time around.

Forcythia bush bloomed today....so glad we didn’t have to face this virus over the winter months.

I would NOT be able to be still, while they were *trying* to stick that stick in my nose.

Wouldn’t the throat be easier???

Me, too.

I’m heading for BJ’s in a couple days, first thing in the morning.

I know there’s risk anytime you go out, but between the early hours, gloves, mask, and going where it’s not very populated and there’s very few cases, it makes it manageable.

Just called a friend. He’s the grand pooh bah of the flubros. Doesn’t believe a bit of it and is angry his company put him on desk duty. His kid recently had major surgery so his body is still in a weakened stage but the dad doesn’t believe he could bring anything home flying all over the country twice a week.
