Its the ME way of thinking. If I'm ok that is all that matters I saw it a ton the first couple of weeks here. After the Domino effect spread far enough people realized the seriousness of the situation. I'd guess it was someone who is a 10 that gave my post a thumbs down. Just for a fun exercise I tried reading through it to think of what would've given that reaction. Weakness on my part? Denial on their part? Maybe the person still hopes that the virus is fake news.. I'm unsure. Honestly I'm hoping the middle of the country never does get to the point we are here in NY. But at this moment the only thing that will stop it is some amazing news coming from NYC and the Med trials. |

I voted 7. Was going to come back to the states in January 2021 but now with where the economy is headed I may need to stay until summer 2021. I was in Thailand when the virus started breaking out and I almost came back but for now I’m staying put since I can pay my bills from back home and put money away for when I get back.

All of my comments aside. My son & I both symptom free now. My family has made the best of it stuck in a shutdown community. We've cooked some insane food. We've binged a couple of shows. We were lucky enough to have avoided Breaking Bad..its new to us. I'm 54 but I still enjoy playing video games with my sons. I'm leveling toons on WoW that I haven't played in 5 yrs. The dog has gone for so many walks on trails that he barely runs now when he hears the leash come out. Sex like were snowed in from a Blizzard and its my Birthday. Its a sunny day today shot hoops in my driveway. The wife and I purchased some pot so we sneak out to the garage & catch a buzz when we can out of view. My Youngest is still unaware we do this from time to time. Board games.Card games. Chess tourney we have going on. Might build a fire tonight outside. We've done a lot of early spring cleaning. So do not think I'm curled up in a ball paralyzed with fear. Our country is Strong I have complete Faith we will get it all back on track but it might take a good amount of time. But my eyes are not closed to the world Economy Tanking. Nor all the sick people who are strongly effected by this. Italy holy shit..almost 2k people in the last 3 days. So I'm keeping on but the condition of the world alone has to take you down 4 or 5 points. |

I'm on the east coast and need a haircut really badly and my favorite sushi spot is closed as well as the barber.
Is it time to start rioting yet? |

I find it very distressing for three reasons, the first two more altruistic, the third selfish.
1. An insidious feature of this virus is the isolation it induces, including people dying alone in hospitals without the presence of their loved ones. I imagine the surviving family suffer the most from this. The dying must be treated as lepers. This is now occurring for approaching 2,000 victims per day globally. All so incredibly sad to contemplate. 2. If it's this stressful for me, with a secure job, I can't imagine what it's like for the economically dislocated. This is more stress than humans are designed to handle at once. 3. My daughter has severe asthma, and her lungs react strongly to even a cold. That makes me very nervous. My city is estimated to have only a small fraction of the beds and ventilators it will need even by conservative estimates of infection. Yet people continue to congregate as though there were no threat. The thought of my daughter being isolated while enduring what for her could be a life threatening illness is terrifying. |
