This. All of it. I know it’s not what anyone wants to hear, but it’s what the experts say. The fact is, sheltering in place WORKS, and it’s all we have that does work, until there is a vaccine or medication. The idea that it is not an option because not everyone can conveniently store weeks of food and toilet paper is just a little myopic when the alternative is millions of deaths. If one prefers to deal with fantasy, go ahead and fill the churches at Easter like our “president” advises, or if over 60 just follow the advice of his supporters and kill yourself to save the economy.

Seriously? You and the ones who liked this post are under the impression that grocery and other essential stores are closed during Shelter in Place orders? Where did you get the idea that you can’t buy food during lockdown?

I would add one thing, for those like me who are going to touch their faces no matter what: after you put your gloves on, spray them or apply sanitizer. Because you could be picking up virus on the gloves. Also, the advice now is to not touch deliveries for 24 hrs, tho for refrigerated things you must just disinfect them. I suppose you could do that with everything. Then trash the packaging. Today I allowed my diabetic copd husband to go get a Whataburger using the drive through. I grilled him on how he would avoid contamination, and I think he finally gets it: DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING OR GET NEAR ANYONE. He even put on gloves without a reminder. It was like sending a kindergartner off to the first day of school.

It’s because you call it a game. 🤭

Seriously? Doctors, nurses, and other medical workers are dying because they don’t have masks and gloves etc. to protect them and you wonder why there are none for shoppers? Do you not follow the news at all?

But your gov is actually doing other stuff besides green lighting booze delivery. Texas mayors Of large blue cities have closed things down, tho.

Tonight’s spinach onion Gouda quiche, but I have been making all different kinds of soup. But I am going to plan on ordering takeout once a week to help out the restaurants. Our Texas governor, always on top of things, early on decreed that they can now include alcoholic drinks with takeout orders. 🤨 That’s about the only sign that he has noticed the virus.

I am furious just hearing about it, Ceka. How callous!

You should try the Lifestyles and Relationships forum.

Evidently none of the residents have televisions or radios or internet.

Oh. I thought it was about your storage problem.

Guess why grocery stores and pharmacies remain open. I’ll wait.

Dr, Fauci says if extreme measures work as we hope, it retrospect they will seem like overreaction.

So because you have no room to store food in your apt., millions can die. OK

I assume you don’t have a vehicle.

Dr. Edsel Salvana @EdselSalvana Please don't take hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil) plus Azithromycin for #COVID19 UNLESS your doctor prescribes it. Both drugs affect the QT interval of your heart and can lead to arrhythmias and sudden death, especially if you are taking other meds or have a heart condition.

Why would we be wondering if they can do the same things we can do ourselves?

Scylla is right. The “President” lied about medicine, vaccines, hospital ships, Availabilty of tests and masks and ventilators, and pretty much everything else.

Where are you Faire?

if you look at the graphs: China was late in enforcing, but came down very hard when it did. Now they have no new cases. Our trajectory is Italy’s.

Not that I can see. Only mandatory will do. The data is clear.

This is making the case that mandatory lockdown would be short term pain for potential long term gain of millions of saved lives. There is a link to whitehouse petition at the end. https://twitter.com/tomaspueyo/status/1240762910831308800?s=20

LittleMe, I am a Virgo too, super perfectionist with laser focus. I have been Totally focused on saving my husband’s life, stocking up for weeks. Family thought, Well there she goes again. (They thought the same when I first started SL.)
