I pray for Florida. Geez Louise!!

I have a brother that lives in Florida and I am worried about him. These beach goers keep going to the beach. cruise ships are coming in with infected people. How can anyone in Florida stay safe unless they never leave home.

The beach is great but we are in a World Crisis- wake-up folks.

I guess my ice cream cones, Cheez-its, potato chips, pop tarts are not part of the healthy snacking.

Thanks so much Henry. I wasn't going to say anything but I am home on Isolation. I was notified Thursday of exposure to positive result folks. I was exposed March 19th. I am well as is my Husband. No symptoms at all. Health Unit here has been amazing with support thru calls. I dont want to worry anyone as we are fine and going to be fine. Husband and I are keeping apart for the duration. He is at the front of the house and I am at the back lol

oh no!!! take care & keep us updated

Ugh! I wonder how many packages he spat on.

I watched that video several times and I'm not sure if he was spitting on it to purposely spread bacteria. It looked like he was trying to clean the plastic cover over the bar code to scan it. It doesn't excuse his completely disgusting method to clean it but I don't know if his motives were criminal.

More than 700 New Jersey police officers test positive for the coronavirus

About the same number of officers are quarantined in their homes, he said at a news conference. Two who were in serious condition are now stable.

Callahan did not give further details but said there are officers from all 21 counties of the state that have the virus.

Foster a senior dog! More available, less likely to get adopted, less "issues" You could foster and the fur baby might never leave. And that's ok! You made room for another dog and saved a life, letting the senior experience love, and snuggles, the good life for the rst of it's days!

A positive I heard concerning this is that more people than ever are fostering and / or adopting right now. They’re lonely too.

this makes me very happy:
thanks China!

oh no!!! take care & keep us updated

Please dont worry. I had many precautions in place when I was exposed. That was 9 days ago. No fever, no symptoms of any kind. I'll keep updating to assure you all I am fine and Hubby and I will be fine. Be safe.

Hi! I'm the one that asked about you. I hope you're able to avoid court. Thinking of you and all o

Yes! Court is closed until June at least. I think our worst will be around mid-May.

Love you too. I totally get how it can be depressing. I am obsessed with the news (especially science news) about CV19 and am STILL optimistic about total outcomes.

I just don't want you, personally, to get sick.

Thanks! Likewise. I’m glad that you’re feeling positive despite the news. That’s encouraging! Especially coming from you.

'Hell. Biblical. I kid you not. People come in, they get intubated, they die, the cycle repeats,' said Dr Steve Kassapidis of Mount Sinai Queens, in an interview with Sky News. '9/11 was nothing compared to this, we were open waiting for patients to come who never came. Now they just keep coming.'

 

[katydid23]

Yup.

Do people here think they could get it all done faster?

I am pretty sure everyone is working as hard and fast as they can.

You are the best. We decided we'd see our 5 year old granddaughter, despite risks. I worry about it a little. She has one babysitter for one day a week who is supposed to be self-isolating, but has a husband who is extremely extroverted. I keep asking questions.

I guess I have some faith in my immune system (lung damage, lifelong asthmatic). I am 65.

I understand exactly. It's so hard not seeing them. I'm used to taking the train to NYC and then out to their town at least once every month or so, and them coming down here as well. My DIL set my granddaughter (aged 8) up with KidsMessenger so we can chat whenever. My grandson (aged 6) pops in on those too to say hello. Still not the same as seeing them..especially when she says she wishes I was there with them.

Funny thing she said to me is that she and her brother get along better when I'm there too - that it's like having another parent. Wise little girl.

I miss them a bunch!

So heartbreaking. Italy's numbers continue to terrify me. Why is the death rate so high? Are they only testing those who are hospitalized? Or is it possible the death rate of this evil virus is really that high?

May God Have Mercy On Us All.

MOO

i wonder the same about Italy, and have not been able to find out information on whether the issue is "having proper equipment and supplies", except the samo samo generalities, ... but I keep thinking it must be that... so the worst cases just have to die. My husbands ancestry is from Northern Italy, and we have a familial website that keeps all descendants from there around the globe connected. They are miraculously not as bad off as most of Northern provinces (thank god for mountains). My husband passed away this past year, and i just know he would be devastated by all this information regarding Italy........

I am pretty sure everyone is working as hard and fast as they can.

I'm positive that everyone is doing their best in getting the most amount of testing possible as soon as possible.
