Yea those Indians are vicious sometimes
Trumpers are to Trump what UK fans are to Cal. Total victim complex and everything is about them and everyone is out to get them/against their team.
Good post. We never know what's happening in other peoples lives. My dad went into the hospital last month with crazy breathing problems. He came home after a week, on Valentines Day, and then dropped dead in front of my mom the night of the 15th. She called me in hysterics, with medics working on him in the background, and I had to make the call, on the phone, for them to stop working on him. It has been a heck of a month, and my mom is no spring chicken, and now we are neck deep in prepping for weeks of school closure while finishing up report cards for tomorrow and planning parent teacher conferences for next week (which now apparently will have to be teleconferences or something?) while keeping both my kids at home and my kids at school calm and also making sure that the house is prepped if things DO go really south (ah, the fun of being dad, right?)... and the virus was in the Cheesecake factory one town over, and in the hospital one town over, and I live 20 minutes from the big NY containment zone... so obviously everyone is coming at it from a different place... I think most of the folks here are just sharing what they are reading as we try to learn. I'm sure folks, including me, are getting things wrong, but what can you do, you know?
Anyway... yeah. Haven't really shared that with anyone yet. Haven't cried yet either... too much to do, too many people to support. Plus, I don't cry. I'm sure that's okay and it's not all building up to a heart attack...?
Schools are shutting down here as well. I'm a pastor and the staff and I have been trying to make plans for this weekend. Unfortunately, our budget makes us run week to week and not meeting this Sunday would mean staff not getting paychecks.
Your story of working in the field is completely anecdotal. My wife works in the field as well and, had we not canceled our vacation in a few weeks, she would have needed to self- quarantine before being allowed to return to work. Again, it's anecdotal. I'm not arguing that policies aren't being implemented to cover their asses; I'm just saying it's likely for good reason.Put the crack like down, please. I see what you’re trying to do, but I’m not taking the bait.
I will say this: I work in the field. I’ve spent time with 2 virologists this week alone, one who is capitalizing on the hysteria with a rapid dx test, and the hysteria behind this is astounding, especially with the inconsistency being pumped by the media (see incorrect TOA of covid19 in the states, genetic differences of each country effected, avg age of inflicted countries, slow vector of covid19 in the states, etc). The common denominator for gov agencies is CYA. It’s that simple. The beauty of Capitalism is that there’s almost a certainty that a company or more can capitalize from any scenario. Your crazy ass brought up the conspiracy portion of for profit companies, not me - cocaine is a hell of a drug.
Keep the tin hat on. Don’t leave your house. Buy your toilet paper. Find your happy place.
Btw - deaths went backwards today in the states; a couple were reallocated to influenza post mortem. Wow, this virus is going backwards. H1n1 says hi, you know, the h1n1 that affected 60.5 million people here in 15 months and killed around 30 people a day.
Dude, pastor, you got wrecked. Might wanna re-read it as intently as you’d read scripture.
Yeah but K just wants to do his part in helping the Media bring the economy down.
Hi TheDude1, the loss of a loved one like you have recently experienced has a way of changing ones perspective of about everything in your life. My condolences to you on the loss of your Dad and I hope each and every day gets a bit easier for you and your family.Good post. We never know what's happening in other peoples lives.
