Maybe that will convince people some that covid-19 doesn't equil instant death.

3% of who get it die. No one wants to be the 3% it’s that simple.so tired of people acting like it’s fine up until they or someone they know becomes one of the 3%. No one should have to die so people just have to deal with inconveniences so people don’t die and stop being selfish

People do die though. 7,700 people in the US die every day. And probably 80% of that 3% who died of covid-19 were close to death anyways, like the first person who died from it in NYC who was 82 and already had respiratory disease.

Guess I just care about people more then you, sorry I don’t want my mom to die so some kids can go to the movies.

I did not say anywhere in this thread that lock downs should not exist. I said better safe than sorry. I have a mom too. And I have lung issues that put me at great risk of dying from covid-19 so you can just stuff that BS.

India has had 12,000 people tested; only 125 tests were positive.

It is more than climate, of course----but I believe it will be found that relatively warm tropical places will fare better in this than relatively cold places. Lombardy, in Italy, is cold in the winter. The Bay Area in California is not warm at all in the winter. It's cool and damp....only a little warmer than Wuhan, actually, in the winter.

Funny that is from 10 years ago. The procedures being given for covid-19 have been around for a long time.

Some are suggesting months. My state says it’s unlikely schools will resume this year. Seniors don’t get to graduate.

You need supplies for 2 weeks in case you contract mild form of the covid and get home-quarantined.

For us, a 2-week supply is 2 rolls of toilet paper.

Is it legal where you are and is there a pot drought? I've been wondering about how restrictions might affect illegal drugs trade.

Don't forget, you and your wife work nearly 24 hours a day so you aren't home.

If you are home on lockdown 24/7 you'll go through it faster.

Even in the best of times, I make a concerted effort to use as little as possible. Because I don't want to clog up the commode.

What the meme is saying is that one person does not go though 144 rolls of toilet paper in 14 days.

Or put another way one person does not go though 10 rolls of toilet paper a day (10 x 14 = 140).

Hmmm, now you need to wear a mask and a pair of disposable gloves while selling illegal drugs?

They shouldn't since 14 days is the max incubation period for a coronavirus.
