sounds alot like the children of Israel who left Egypt. they were so scared to enter the Promised Land and because they were weak and scared, God made them die off and not ever go in. The new generation went in later, along with Joshua and Caleb.

Definitely an improvement..... I use to love working retail but the public truly changed....a lot! The last place I worked at a fat loud mouthed woman not only upset me but the people standing at the counter waiting for her......Finally I looked straight at her and said...."I don't have to tolerate you or your language and walked away"....a couple days later I decided enough was enough and handed in my resignation .....walked across the showroom floor never stopping and out the door to freedom! It was wonderful!.......will never work retail again!

Folks have to make decisions based on their wants and needs. I’ll continue to take special cautions due to my personal health issues and those of my brother who is a transplant patient. Will be a little more relieved when a vaccine becomes available.

Wow! I can’t imagine being so afraid of life that you would completely disengage like that. Thank you for staying home! Much more room at restaurants, bars, theaters and stores for the rest of us. Your new normal will not be our new normal. Make sure you bathe in bleach…

Enjoy your self imposed qwhuaranine while the rest of us PATRIOTS get back to normal.

I think structurally they could be considered tougher - bones aren’t fully hardened, so they are more likely to bend than to break, but their immune systems take years to develop.

40% of Americans are in the bottom 2 quartiles based on IQ. We can safely call them democrats.

Don’t forget us old guys that like to got play a some guitar at jam sessions. We’re hurtin’ right now. LOL!

A friend of mine is a drummer in a Jimi Hendrix cover band. His last show was March 7th. And now the guy who plays Jimi Hendrix in the band, an older guy in his 60's has COVID.

Who knows when they'll play again.

Control Freaks depend upon fearful sheep to remain in office. Yup, there’s lots of them out there.

“I can tell you my wife and I will not be going to any restaurants until next year, we will basically be practicing self quarantine regardless of the economy opening up, so will probably half the country. This will be the new-normal, the country will not return to normal for years to come, if ever.’

Cowards die a thousand deaths; the brave die once.

I haven’t stopped going out since this idiotic shutdown began. I don’t participate in the madness of crowds. Never wore a mask, and never will.

What a bunch of pansies we have. Nobody gets out of here alive. Stop cowering, people!
