Trump to Declare National Emergency Today

[digging440yrs]

Today was the first time I wore disposable gloves to our small town post office, felt odd

 

[IMAUDIGGER]

My next door neighbor told me earlier, the trailer park behind us,
the office lady tested positive, as did ppl who live there,
that came in contact with her, or was in the park office.
Our properties on my side of the street, back up to this trailer park.

Talk about "hitting close to home".
Now, one has to think of all the local places, gas stations, grocery stores,
convenience stores, etc., around here, where ppl who didn't know they have it,
have gone all around depositing that nasty virus.
Hubby banned from the bar, for the whole summer,
maybe longer!

It'll give you pause to think, when you reach for that grocery store
milk case or freezer case door handle! That's for sure!

We've had so much cwap happen here in S.Fl., over the deacdes….
I've just always been grateful, I never got caught up
in the middle of any of it... oh wait....

I always figured, it'd be the young & dumb, or the
low IQ ones, take us all out one day... ughhh *long sigh

Pat, It’s going to be alright.
We all live everyday with risks that could lead to an early death.
VERY FEW are within our control.

It’s difficult to filter out the shock value news headlines to get a realistic view on this situation.
Then you have EVERYONE taking every opportunity to throw around the worst rumors they have have heard every chance they get.

Why didn’t you just sanitize your hands after exiting the building?
I’m pretty sure you can’t get it through your skin.

The biggest thing I think is to break the habit of touching your face.

EDIT: I did a little research and it appears that the CDC is saying that while it’s possible to get corona virus by touching something, then touching your eyes, nose, or mouth, the primary transmission method is through droplets in the air from people spraying it instead of saying it..or sneezing. You can’t get it through a cut in your skin. They are also saying there is no evidence that you can get it from eating food that’s been handled...That’s a little bit reassuring to me. Airborne..droplets..breathing used air.

I think most people are focusing on contact transmission...wiping everything down...wearing gloves. Sounds like the bigger prevention is not being around people that are talking, coughing, and sneezing.

 

[IMAUDIGGER]

Despite what our government is messaging...face masks will reduce transmission...spittle can’t get through a mask..one of the primary methods of transmission according to the CDC.

If they were not so concerned with the shortage of masks for medical workers...they would be harping on all of us to wear masks when interacting with other people. I would strongly suggest that people all wear some sort of mask when talking to people. It may not filter the virus from you breathing it..but it will stop you from spraying spittle when you talk!

This should be addressed. Even a handkerchief around the face would work.

Wear sunglasses as much as possible...that will keep you from touching your eyes..or catching spittle there. I’m surprised we have not heard suggestions like this from our government.

Thank you for that. That was very kind.

I'm actually pretty calm cool & collected, about it all, now, lol.
My coconut shrimp tonight, was better than ever.
I have everything I need, atm.
and all the stuff I been through in life,
I kept me alive, this long, I'll continue to do so.

My SW GA hometown, had to have the CDC come in.
They already had 11 deaths, it's spreading like wildfire,
and they can't seem to catch a clue or slow it down.
One of my (high risk) friends, was just at the hospital there,
where the dr's & nurses are starting to test positive.
He has a broken back, piece of the bone was stobbing his kidney.
They sent him home pilling good....

Just can't believe, some ppls luck... this is NOT the time,
you want to have to go to the hospital!

They've speculated, that if you do have open sores on your hands,
it's possible it could enter the bloodstream, idk, don't know if they know.
They're saying trim your fingernails short, too...
it's just got to end somewhere...

Well it’s a respiratory virus...has to have evolved to mainly replicate through the air.

What does ATM mean?

Pat will correct me if I am wrong, but I believe "atm" is short for "at the moment".

This is an interesting thread. The first few pages everyone is bellyaching about frenzied media and comparing this to the bird flu. The last few pages everyone is wearing rubber gloves and talking about this hitting close to home.
True journalists have always sought facts. Some factions these days just find reality doesn’t accommodate their perceived well being. They are Being hoodwinked by the ultra rich through fear, finger pointing and lies. News media is your friend people. It’s the damn internet crap you should fear and call frenzied.

Yes.

 

[digging440yrs]

I did sanitize my hands when I got home, made my own sanitizer

lo and behold, a different approach; no lockdown

https://inews.co.uk/news/sweden-cor...lviYe3a_AyQRZGYc4qqijmEh60OXvhI4nIXyyjcV22LrQ

we will see if that overwhelms their health system (far better than avg)

word is My Doctor went into the Nursing home it Tremont.
And when she left She had a Fever.

All I Heard So Far.

I Don't think I Had a Fever last night, But I Forgot to turn My Heat Down,
So I Blame my Sweating last Night on that.

I Opened my Bedroom window so I could Sleep

Woke up pain in my guts, dizzy,, starving feeling, slight diareha. getting over it now.

Not sure if a cold, But no sniffling.

May have been From Chugging Chocolate Milk & Mayonnaise & Tuna Last night & My Lactose issue,
Then My Cup of Very Strong Deathwish Coffee this morning on an Empty Stomach adding to it .

Definitely No Chinese Virus Issues. My eyes aren't Slanting, No Dry Coughing, Or breathing Difficulties

People that arent scared are the ones that know this is only a black swan for the failing economy.
That bubble was doomed to pop and printing trillions more only tightens the noose.

Printing money from nothing always causes these free falls and resets but if they can stop the economy that's even better!
They can blame the virus instead of keynsian policies and most sheeple dont know any better.

It's nothing but a bad flu, spreads exactly the same, infects the same, exactly the same. No reason to stop the world.

It’s a SARS virus, making it significantly different that the seasonal flu.

The fact that it spreads so quickly...the potential is there that more people will NEED intensive care treatment than we have facilities and equipment. With the seasonal flu...we are not discussing having to ration care...splitting ventilators up to be shared between 2-4 patients at the same time!

The difference may not be apparent to some, but this is not the seasonal flu blown out of proportion.

That could be propaganda except we can look to China and Italy to see the actual impact.

 

[jeff of pa]

as Long as they Don't Decide to Move everyone From N.Y. & Other infected areas to Clean areas.

Then We'd Know it's on Purpose to Infect the World

I read that some people experience intestinal problems as an early symptom.

& Indigestion Issues, Which I've had Both for Many Years , So No New Issues for me really

Hopefully this article will be legible...it basically presents a hypothesis that ties Covid-19 morbidity to people taking ACE Inhibitors to treat diabetes and hypertension.

I find it interesting that ibuprofen is a drug that increases ACE2 and that drug has been suspected of increasing the severity of Wuhan Virus, Corona Virus...COVID-19 Virus, Chinese Virus, SARS-COV2 virus...whatever the current name is.
