I did that in the OP.

LL has a long-standing preference for preserving spammed keywords, as shown by their refusal to cut the size of the keyword field.

Right now I feel safer outside, but when it’s 110 I may feel inside is not that bad.

Not much, if you have reported and he keeps making alts. You could switch to a different account. Of course, if he gets zero response, eventually he will stop.

Just talking or breathing may spread it. https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/02/health/aerosol-coronavirus-spread-white-house-letter/index.html?utm_term=link&utm_medium=social&utm_content=2020-04-04T07%3A50%3A05&utm_source=twCNN

I first came to SL to make a virtual clubhouse for my Yahoo group for ppl with bipolar loved ones, since it can be very isolating socially. I invited everyone, a few came, but only one stuck. Since then I have not bothered inviting anyone — no one I knew had the special quality that SLers have, some combination of whimsicalness, introversion, curiosity, and a soupçon of Misifit Toy. Until now. My neighbor is holed up with her young daughter, teaching from home, and I think, yes indeed, she might really enjoy being able to walk around freely and go dancing, etc. whenever she likes. All kinds of people might find this form of escape attractive now that they never would have before. I do expect SL to always be a hard sell for some reason, but maybe not so much now. Will report back. Is there one person you think might be a candidate now that wouldn’t before?

Really I hate feeling compelled to monitor everything, I know I shouldn’t, for my mental health, but I keep gleaning information that I hope will help my super high risk husband stay alive. Six weeks ago everyone thought I was overreacting but no more.

I have seen that and felt the same relief, but since then there is more data suggesting it can stay airborne and spread if ppl are just breathing or talking or singing, like the choir group in WA that practiced distancing and did not cough, but many got it and some died.

I am finding the opposite — I feel like throwing up in disgust much of the time.

Exactly. It’s not the virus as much as the arrogant incompetence galling me.

I am the opposite, since politics is how we got to this disaster on top of catastrophe. Politics, for example, is why red states get more medical supplies than they request, blue states less. Politics is why ignoramus grifter dilettante Jared Kushner is in charge of the catastrophe now.

@Scylla Rhiadra So what about 19th c English lit. Or Russian?

Our TX governor’s excuse is not ignorance but viciousness.

It’s like watching a train wreck: I AM NUMBER INE ON FACEBOOK! My ratings are like the Bachelor Finale! I rate my performance a ten!

Anyway, I got the app mentioned in the post Maddy made, called covid-19 Tracker. Interesting.

An example, Dr. Fauci has a security detail because he often publicly contradicts Trump, who would fire him if all hell would not break loose.

So without knowing about our govt sources, without looking at what I posted, and seeing that I am female, you assumed I was too stupid to evaluate information.

My point is they offered a buy down, $600 per region. Then just as I was going to have to buy a fifth region for the prims, they cut prices across the board and added a bunch more prims, so I didn’t need to buy a fifth region. They have been pretty accommodating.

No. They are full Sims. I did the buy down a few years ago, on top of the recent price reduction.

So you, say, carve a notch on a stick every time someone says tier is too high, and that’s your data?

Also, when I bought my first region eleven or so years ago, I seem to recall it cost $1600 usd. Can that be right? A few years ago i was paying $295 per region, now $179.

That’s the definition of anecdotal. There are no stats for you and stats for me.

Mansplainers. How would we silly (but adorable) little ladies get along without them?

That’s your literal statistic? I don’t think either word means what you think it does.

You mean the CDC just two weeks ago decided maybe large gatherings were not good, maybe keep it to 50? But keeping schools open was okay? (When I had been isolating for three weeks.). And are trying to decide now whether to recommend masks? That CDC? The one headed by Redfield, who has had zero experience managing anything like the CDC? “In an effort to slow the spread of the coronavirus pandemic, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is now advising against gatherings of 50 people or more for the next eight weeks. In a guidance announcement issued on Sunday, the agency said it was warning against large events and mass gatherings that include "conferences, festivals, parades, concerts, sporting events, weddings, and other types of assemblies." The agency called on organizers, whether they are individuals or organizations, to cancel or postpone such events. However, it said the guidance did not apply to the daily operations of organizations such as schools, institutes of higher learning or businesses.” Pretty obvious you know nothing about Med Cram and have not looked at their projections or data about how heat can enhance immunity. While you are at it, read about how malaria fever was a cure for syphillus early last century pre penicillin. Might learn something.
