Right now I have to collect Unemployment due to my job and for a person with Type 2 Diabetes I have to be really careful. I was supposed to see my wife this weekend and watch WrestleMania with her (we don't live together at the moment) but I can't now. It was so hard for me to tell her that I can't come over and she was disappointed . Video calling just isn't the same as human contact, COVID-19 needs to get the out of here already, I need to work and spend time with my wife.

I am hoping the peak is near, so we can finally get on the down slope of this thing. I long for the days when it was safe-ish to go to the grocery store daily, because I cannot budget food in my house for nothing. #Iamalifefail

Well, my governor just declared if you go outdoors, you must wear a mask.
Great job. Praytell just where we are supposed to get these masks when they are so scarce that even hospitals can't get them right now?
I'm lucky enough that I just happen to own a permanent-style mask that I bought last November for making Nail Polish. I'm set. But how on earth are the rest of us supposed to get masks???
I get the notion to be careful, but you can't put restrictions on people that are logistically impossible to follow in the current crisis and hysteria.

I get the notion to be careful, but you can't put restrictions on people that are logistically impossible to follow in the current crisis and hysteria. We're being told that masks alone aren't very effective. They only benefit health workers when used in conjunction with gloves and other protective gear. If you have something on your face you're much more likely to touch it due to it being uncomfortable or causing an itch. As it's worn for longer it gets damp and the virus can easily pass through, or even just into the gaps at the sides of the mouth quite easily. The only people who should be wearing them apparently are those who have symptoms because their coughs and general breathing will be caught in the mask, thus limiting the spread of their virus.

Just use a scarf or bandana around your mouth & nose. They will still protect you from the COVID particles in the air.

I live a block away from the middle and high schools in my city. This morning the roads are queued, going in and out. Must be giving something away for free. Probably tablets/hot spots for off site student learning. I know my kids schools called me saying if we didn't have CPUs or internet that you can pick them up at X time on X day. Luckily we have all those things already as I heard there was quit a turnout.

I hate these Martial Law theories. Because a Bavarian cult society called the Illuminati has outlasted not only the crazy advances in German history since the Napoleonic Era it has infected all world governments and yet to be exposed in it's almost 250 years. And this society has guided the world and groomed it for a one world government with a controlled plan that it could of foreseen 250 years ago. And that it's created the United Nations and will use it's soldier to invade the world and USA. When it's soldiers are not even capable to police warring African lands. As well as it's soldiers are more so donations or Expeditionary forces. And that Local Law Enforcement, Fema/Homeland Security, State Law Enforcement, and Various military components are going to put us in camps and kill us. While also taking on the greatest armed population in the world. And those in the Military and Law Enforcement clearly know what they're doing and willingly will comply. I am in utter shock people believe this. If anything I fear the conduct of others if Martial Law is declared if things gets x50 times worse for it to even be declared. I would stock pile guns in case of that, not over the government. The looters, and rioting will warrant a firearm build up at my house. Personally, I think one way or another things will be forced to be better by June. you even did any research it's true look at what's happening

So I went to work at my job today (I work at a winery store) and I was happy to see a lot of customers wearing masks, about 90% of customers we had today wore masks. However I was pretty annoyed with the few people bringing their whole family including kids into the store and to the people who came to browse the store rather than getting what you need and walk out. Now isn't the time for the nonsense.

Plan "B"Link to an article in the Toronto Sun. Opinion article, but pretty much sums up my thoughts. More factors in play than just the deaths caused specifically by Covid. Lockdown is a very temporary solution. Just trying to steer the conversation back to rationality and away from the tin-foil theories.

I live in PA and I'd rather wear a MOPP suit. I was at Wal-Mart earlier today and the majority of people werenât wearing masks. I donât even trust the CDC in regards to mask usage. First they said they donât help, now all of a sudden itâs recommended everyone wear them. BTW, masks only prevent the spread if youâre already sick, a random healthy person wearing one doesnât protect that person. I was fine with all the measures being taken up until the mask recommendation, that the first step of going overboard.

Plan "B"Link to an article in the Toronto Sun. Opinion article, but pretty much sums up my thoughts. More factors in play than just the deaths caused specifically by Covid. Lockdown is a very temporary solution. Just trying to steer the conversation back to rationality and away from the tin-foil theories. Not a bad read. I live in PA where a stay at home order is in effect until April 30th. The last few days my feelings are leaning more to the âI hope restrictions are eased up after thatâ side of things. As Iâve said before, the economy will reach the point of no return. At least 6.6 million Americans have filed for unemployment the past week, pretty sure thatâs a record. People arenât listening to the stay at home order and with warmer weather coming, people arenât going to stay inside. Unfortunately, the US acted too late. If actions were taken back in January when the first case was reported, perhaps we wouldnât be in the current situation. Weâre ed regardless, so rather things start opening back up in a month, or the closures are extended, itâs really a catch-22.

Don't really mind the mask recommendations to prevent asymptomatic transmission, even though that is now the easy scapegoat for the current situation instead of the inept initial responses; wholly inadequate testing materials and procedures; and people just being belligerent, self absorbed a-holes.

It would be nice if the government sent every household a mask in the mail for those of us who can't get them.
