Manager in P’cola, how the general public has responded is completely irresponsible. Absolutely no one is taking this seriously here. I have customers (elderly and young) who come in to buy a Coke/candy daily, I fear daily what I might bring home to my wife or children.
I’m no deep state crazy, but this thought keeps crossing my mind, especially when I read these virus posts. We know China lies, just like our government some times lies. We know when China lies, it’s always in their favor. We know a few things about the China/US trade war, ie how badly China’s economy is doing. We have no verifiable info on how badly the virus affected China. Maybe the virus was or wasn’t an accident in Red Land? Maybe the trade war is hurting China more than we know? Or, maybe Xi has just reallly, really gotten his feelings hurt (so now he’s willing to use the illness to his advantage)?
Big picture for me…. I don’t want my grandchildren speaking Chinese and eat bats to keep from starving to death. Whatever it takes to get us back on our feet, I’m for that.
For those of you who do not believe that this is a pandemic , I hope you have enough integrity to not accept the proposed stimulus checks. Prove how strongly you believe this is a load of nonsense.
Better safe then sorry if you do not have to go out then stay home and please remember and remind your children to wash those hands.
I am pretty sure I am healthy enough to survive the virus were I to become infected. However, my elderly family members like my grandmother most likely would not survive. My mother and my grandmother are both very wise in knowledge and years so I want them around to help me with my family as I need that wisdom.
In the case of those not willing to listen to the warnings or not willing to believe the warnings–their elderly family member will be the ones who suffer for the arrogance and disbelief of the younger healthy members of the family when the disbelievers bring it home to grandma or grandpa.
@ Bring it On
Children are not supposed to speak when adults are talking.
@ Bring It On: I don’t think your opinion of your intellect will remain as high as it is now when you contract the virus, or worse yet, watch your wife sicken and possibly die because you brought it home to her.
The crematoriums in Italy are running 24/7 and they still can’t keep up. The bodies are being removed by the truckloads in military vehicles. Funerals are a thing of the past. No one bothers with them now because it’s impossible. 3 weeks ago, they had your attitude. Look where they are now.
Wise up! If you insist on going to work, at least practice social distancing and personal safeguards to avoid the virus if at all possible. Better yet, stay home!!
Robert, you’re absolutely correct. They shouldn’t be listening to Fox News, or CBS or NBC or any other news outlet bc the media all have bias and agendas. You should be listening to the CDC and only the CDC. And the CDC says nothing about staying at home. Nothing about self quarantine(unless your sick). The CDC says to stay away from sick people, stay home if you’re sick and try your best to stay 6ft away from other people. The media has turned everyone into scared little sheep. The media is the reason why our country is collapsing bc of this virus. They are single handedly turning this pandemic into a caution contest. They are loving their ratings and all the views and clicks but meanwhile millions of people are losing their jobs. It’s despicable what the media has done to this country in the last month. So everyone needs to chill out and listen to the CDC. When they say that everyone should stay home, then I’ll stay home. Until then I’ll go on with my life and keep my distance from people
@ Bring it on. They are not sheep in Italy either. They were not going to be told what to do either and look at them. They are all right aren’t they! To err in the side of caution is sensible but to act as though nothing is different is beyond foolish and can cause harm to others you don’t even know. Just be sensible!
My sister’s job closed down today and that is their only source of income
She takes care of my mama. A senior citizen who does not work. A lot of families
Are stuck no food, no source of income to pay utilities rent mortgage people need help
Now not tomorrow quit waiting on Congress or a bill to pass! What if it was your family or a loved one put that into consideration.
Thank you
You’ve got to be a special kind of… Special to think this is a political agenda. Even the president is acknowledging the pandemic. There’s no benefit to the American leftists by killing thousands of Chinese and Italian. If you’re sick and going out subjecting others to your own illness because you’re a delusional conspiracy theorist you should be arrested and charged for bioterrorism. I’m not going to let my family die because you think the Republican party is being victimized by a worldwide problem. Stay in school kids.
Send us a check and then we stay at home or just work because this is all political junk and government gave people this virus
This is for BRING IT ON, hopefully you will be the one who gets the virus instead of someone who is trying to do the right thing!
1Peter 2
13 In order to honor the Lord, you must respect and defer to the authority of every human institution,[u] whether it be the highest ruler[v] 14 or the governors he puts in place to punish lawbreakers and to praise those who do what’s right. 15 For it is God’s will for you to silence the ignorance of foolish people[w] by doing what is right.
As God’s loving servants, you should live in complete freedom, but never use your freedom as a cover-up for evil. 17 Recognize the value of every person and continually show love to every believer. Live your lives with great reverence and in holy awe of God. Honor your rulers.
I am not a sheep. I will not be herded by a political agenda. This whole thing is a load of nonsense. My wife and I are still working.
I know we’re all in panic mode. To do nothing is equally as bad as doing something. If we allow this virus to run rampant the effect will have the same dire consequences as if we do what we are doing now!, Think about it. We are basically in check mate! China has caused a biological warfare upon the world! We need to stay strong and stand vigilant. Hope love and prayers to us all.
Dan is Wrong!
Mortality rate is much MUCH higher than the flu!
The flu kills roughly about 1 in 1,000 people that get it.
Meanwhile, CoViD-19 is killing anywhere from 23 to 34 of each 1,000 people infected.
Sure, a relatively small number of people have died in this country thus far, but the virus has only just begun to spread.
Unless this gets under control quickly, there will possibly be millions dead in the coming near future. The best measure to keep it from getting out of control is keeping safe distance from other people, wash your hands, avoid touching your face, eyes, mouth and other orifices as much as possible and only after thoroughly washing your hands. We need to slow down the spread of this killer and buy some time for the scientists to effect a cure and/or vaccine or our hospitals will quickly be overwhelmed. And if (or when) that happens, we will all be up the creek without a paddle.
Do your part in social distancing and keep your hands and homes clean. At the rate this is beginning to spread, it is highly likely that you and/or some of your loved ones will be affected in the coming weeks.
Take it Seriously!
The mortality rate for covid-19 is much higher than the flu. Bob and Dan need to stop watching Fox news or they will become carriers for this virus.
DAN IS RIGHT!!!
WE HAVE SHUT THIS COUNTRY DOWN OVER FEARS OF WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN. STATISTICS DO NOT SUPPORT THESE ACTIONS!!! WE HAVE PUT THIS COUNTRY INTO A DEPRESSION OUT OF IRRATIONAL FEARS!!!
Dan the Man:
Barak Obama was not President in 2018.
The first step is to order voluntary compliance with the rules. If the public doesn’t comply voluntary then possibly Martial Law will be declared and the National Guard would be deployed. So it’s in our best interest to comply.
People are not staying home. They continue to go out and gather with others (not talking about ones who have to work). Until everyone contains themselves the door is wide open for transmitting CV19. The linger it takes people to understand that the longer this virus will continue to spread.
Same or lower mortality rate than the flu and we are shutting everything down. You all look like mo-rans. 80,000 dies of flu is 2018 under your commie savior
Obama. Get a grip.
Not everyone can stay home.. some do have to work.. most people are staying home as much as they can.. even when the order does come out.. there will be people still working outside the home
Any idea the results of the 800 tests done by Sacred Heart last week? If those test results are starting to finally come back, those people were tested at the beginning of the week when things started to shut down. They were sick before schools, churches, etc. shut down. The numbers are going to go up as those tests results come back.
I don’t understand why the governor of Florida or Alabama has not put Stay at home order into place because they are not doing it on there own and it is going to keep spreading because of it
What about the number of cases reported in Escambia, Mobile, and Baldwin Counties in Alabama?
Proof again that the general public cannot follow the rules! Please stay home people so we can beat this thing!
