“My Wife and I are barricaded in our house waiting for a COVID-19 vaccine. I suppose it really depends on how you want to die and if you are gullible enough to believe nonsense.”

Why are you barricaded in your house when a vaccine is at least a year and half away?

I think it depends on how you want to live rather than how you want to die.

Are you willing to live your life inside your barricaded house for another year and a half or more until a vaccine is available?

If so, that’s fine for you and those who believe like you but even during the Polio Epidemic, people didn’t barricade themselves inside their homes until a vaccine was available.

Have you not understood history?

Yeah I guess it really does depend on how one wants to live their life and nonsense. Or their version of life and nonsense.

Excuse me for not fulfilling your expectations. My wife has not been out of the house but a handful of times in the past several years. I do the shopping about once every two weeks. We had plenty of TP, 60 rolls, paper towels, 32 rolls, and gobs of food when all this started because we bargain shop and stock up as a habit. We are retired and basically have no place to go at all. This really doesn't seem much different from day-to-day for us.

Actually the only time I leave the house other than grocery shopping is to return decorator items my wife purchased online from BB&B, Williams-Sonoma or Pottery Barn, that didn't work out for her tastes. We have not eaten out in years because we don't enjoy it. I have been known to pickup takeout from Williamson Bros. Bar-B-Q once every six months because it is also, "In the Shadow of The Big Chicken."

I only used the word barricaded to keep in the spirit of Governor Kemp's shelter in place order. I did leave the house at the thirty day mark to take the dog to the groomer. His toenails had gotten so long he was skating across the floor and couldn't stand up very well to eat his dog food.

Do we have your permission to live the way we desire?
