The Coronavirus thread

Allegheny County not allowed to open up....yet.
Guess what Mr Governor Wolf? Small business owners are going to open up, whether you say so, or not.

I know a salon owner who is opening up on the 8th,regardless of the order.
It will be interesting to see what law enforcement does.

Corona has hit a family member. It's my cousins husband. I think he's about 50 years old, nurse at a nursing home. They test all employees, his came back inconclusive so they sent him to the hospital for another test. It was positive. He had had a sore throat and mild cough leading up to this I guess, but he thought it was just the usual seasonal allergies. He was quarantined for 10 days and is fine now.
A friend of mines wife has it now, but her only symptoms have been a headache and backache.
A customer of mine at work had it, was hospitalised for a week, given hydroxychloroquine, which he said worked almost immediately. He thinks he got it from a friend of his, who was in the ICU not doing well at all. His wife was told that his organs were beginning to fail so they also gave him hydroxychloroquine. 2 days later he was on his way to full recovery.
It's crazy how this hits people differently.

My wife is a major rule follower, and I am not. You can imagine how our trip to Walmart went just a while ago.

1. There are arrows on the floor essentially turning the store into downtown Pittsburgh. It's a maze of one lane streets. **** you people. I will not Baaa!
2. I had my "mask" which is a thin material head covering like cancer patients wear. I got it at a cancer fundraiser. Totally worthless. Just like everyone elses. I wore it around my neck. close enough.
3. I needed Hickory wood chunks for some BBQ grilling this weekend. Of course it's in the section roped off for "Employees only". I find a Walmartian and ask her to go get me a bag. She gets perturbed, it's probably my resting "**** you" face that my mask isn't covering. She goes to hand it to me and I ask her to put it my cart instead. Social distancing, right? **** you people.
4. My wife grew angrier as I failed to stay 6 feet away from anyone. I needed hair paste to keep my head from looking like Doc after lightening struck the ******* clock tower. The woman, yes woman, stood there gawking at men's hair gel for about 60 seconds as I acted patient. I did it for my wife. But...patience isn't my thing so I said **** it and grabbed a can. Wife lets out a sigh and we move on.
5. Heading down a main isle, rule following wife in front of me as to ensure I'm a compliant sheep and she has to move aside for a fat ******* Walmartian in a wheel chair talking into his radio mic. He lock eyes with me and as he passes I tell him "wrong way". I look at my wife, she gives me a dirty look. I said "what, he..." I know!" she exclaims. We're off again. She's cute when she's mad...Her *** has a nice shake when she walks angry. I follow intently.
6.The ride home was a bit awkward. Luckily the 80's channel on Sirius was "slapp'n" as my son would say. Steve Winwood really had a thing for Valerie. I completely understand as I keep thinking about my wife's *** shake. If I ask her "what's wrong" and we get into a fight, we could have make-up sex. hmmm... contemplating.
7. I got home and realized that all I had to drink this weekend was some local vodka that tastes more like rubbing alcohol than Titos. So, I called the State Store about 80 times and finally got through. Scored some Brandy. Nice!

Anyone else care to share their 'Rona stories of survival?

Trekked to the smaller neighborhood wal mart by myself.
It’s been going decent here. Was one of the few without a mask, went through a wrong way arrows to grab some bottled water and my monster energy. Bought some frozen fruit cause we’ve been making smoothies again.

Other than that haven’t had to leave aside from work and the occasional pregnancy craving my wife gets for carls jr
 


Begin watching at 14:29. Judge Napolitano has been displaying symptoms of TDS lately, but tonight he was a lucid as ever.

My wife is Korean. When she goes shopping people avoid her like the plague. (pun intended). She is hurt by it, but at the same time she understands.

I want to make a sign that hangs on her back and front, " I'M NOT CHINESE"

Honestly a lot of Asians have been wearing masks in this country for years. What do they know that we don't? :party:

That's impossible. HCQ doesn't work. Studies have shown that. Orange Man Bad.

I have a good friend who is a doctor in one of the hospitals in PGH that saw some of the 'first' Covid patients. He said they were prescribing HCQ before the President said anything about it. This is how dishonest and corrupt our media is.
 
Honestly I don't mind really mind wearing the mask if it makes the nervous nellies feel better.

I enjoy reading the Nextdoor and community Facebook page where people spend their time bitching and moaning about others not following the rules. Are you that stupid that you think your rants on Facebook are going to make everyone in the world behave the way you want them to? If you are that panicked about this, STAY THE **** HOME!

Second, this is a stupid little microcosm thing but our club opened up the tennis courts yesterday, So apparently 4 people can be on one court but we have to keep half the courts closed so that there can be an empty court between. When I brought up that there was plenty of space for adequate distancing between the courts already, I was told this is so we can send the message that we are doing this slowly and it is NOT business as usual.

We are ******* adults who pay a decent amount of money to have access to these courts. We don't need this power hungry committee "sending us a message". Restrictions should be based in safety, period. That's really all a lot of this is, a bunch of holier than thous racing to prove they can be even more careful than you.

If you go to Korea, a lot of people wear masks every day, but especially during cold and flu season. I first went to Korea in 1997, and they were doing it back then. They do it even for days with poor air quality, like pollen and pollution. Maybe they do know something no one else knows.
 
Costco is going to require masks. Why would social distancing be needed if everyone has a mask on?

Possibly but then they got the **** first anyway.
 
I'll stick a mask in my pocket before I leave for anywhere.

I don't know why. Never have used one.

Yesterday I went to a PetSmart to pick up dog food and I bet 80% of the people were wearing them.

So that means I'm protected, and so are they from me right?
 
Are the businesses that are requiring masks providing customers with them? If not, then they can’t require them.

It’s county ordinance in So Florida, Broward county where I work requires a mask inside, so I reluctantly wear one but try to avoid going inside there. Palm Beach county, where I live doesn’t require them and I don’t wear one

It’s not because of her race. I’m a normal white dude. Well I think I’m normal. Lol. People stare at the stores, “does he have it” he looks sick, quickly dogged out your way if your too close. Ducking pathetic.

They started doing “no one in lines for cashier, social distancing bs”. Now we all stand in one big ******* line half way around the store. Good call on that policy.
 
Rush Limbaugh’s theory on masks is that as the cases and deaths decrease, they need something to keep people scared so making everyone wear a mask will do the trick. It is becoming very clear that many people in power WANT these shutdowns for various reasons. They think it could finally break the system Cloward Piven style and pave the way for government takeover.

i also think many blue states want the lockdowns to continue to plunge their states even further into debt then just get bailed out by the fed. They will then blame all debt not on decades of mismanagement but on the virus. Then they’ll go right back to spending money they don’t have

I was wearing a mask while cooking. WAS....I closed my place. Going to try to sell and look for work afterwards. Wish me luck. Anyone want to get in the restaurant biz? Lots of floor space since you won't be needing tables anymore.

Americans decided to treat corona like Jehovahs Witnesses. Just stay inside, don't make noise and eventually it'll go away. Right?

Back when I was a student in university, a few of us rented a house just down the street from a Joho building. The sent "trainees" or the newly indoctrinated out on the street a few times a week.

So we always had Highway to Hell queued up on the CD player, and the volume at 11.
As soon as the doorbell rang, we were ready, and would only answer the door with the song halfway done.

I think, deep down, they really appreciated our challenge to their orthodoxy.
