Believe It.......

This virus is the real thing. I know people, family and friends who have or are experiencing it. I am angry, and I don't say this lightly, that all state officials are not believing this. Corona knows no boundaries, no nationalities, no justice. Good people are dying. It isn't a matter of if, it is clearly a matter of when anywhere, everywhere.

I have a friend with Lupus. The drug she uses to treat it is scarce now because trump touted it as a likely fix for the virus. When charlatans practice medicine without a license, we prosecute them. Now the leader of our country is doing the same thing and people are buying into it.

I am having trouble listening to elected officials who aren't wearing masks, but have instead opted for blinders. We have put our first responders in jeopardy and are still doing so. Thousands have died in this country and yet many folks are listening to amateurs and not the medical professionals who have the training and experience to speak competently about our status.

Believe it!!!!!!!!!

Believe it.

I am listening to one daily update, and try to listen to the medical people or some governors.  Also getting a few comedies that I've got on the dvr.  It's illogical but soothing to watch Seinfeld.   As you know Sheila, if we are strong then we can provide comfort and direction to those around us.  Stay strong and show the light.

Hi Claude and so nice to see you. Sounds like you are coping. I am strong but it is hard. Today I spent time in the yard and it helped. Stay well my friend.     Sheila

I have problems with elected officials who tout social distancing of 6 feet, but stand together near the dais closely positioned.  I have issues with a guy telling us it's time to wear masks, but then in the next sentence saying he's not likely to be wearing one.  We need leaders who lead by example, not by "Do as I say, not do as I do!"

Yes, if you live in New York, you know how real this is. It is quite sad and next week will be much worse. I am on Day 30 of my self quarantine as I have an autoimmune disease. And, when I heard that moron talk about that medication (which is not my medication) I thought of those I know with Lupus and felt kind of sick to my stomach...kind of similar to how I felt when 400 ventilators were sent here.

Yes, very mismanaged at the top in so many ways.  But, I am proud and impressed on how Cuomo is handling things and fighting for us.

 

Oh and I think one of my close friends in Washington state may potentially have it. Her husband it a doctor/resident treating people w/ this so they were told they had to separate.  And her 3 year old son is immuno compromised, so they made a long drive to California so she could stay with her parents and keep her son safe.  So now is quarantined in a room there.  They were being so careful with husband changing in garage and him showering. I don't know.  I'm hoping she has something else.

I don't post anything political on my FB or website, but on AR there is at least some sense of normalcy most of the time. Couldn't disagree more with poster Dennis above. Get your head out of the sand buddy, before it's too late. tRump's ineptitude and lack of leadership is going to get 10's of thousands of Americans killed. The craziest thing is, many of those people that will die are the base that he's counting on to wrangle himself another term.

I've been home now for 2 1/2 weeks, but Home Inspections are considered essential in Illinois. My other inspector is doing the bulk of the inspections. We're insisting we do the inspection alone, no buyers, agents, sellers, NO ONE. Gloves, masks, boot covers. If we can make it to May, I think we will be ok. Stay safe everyone.

It is very real and I don't think we are anywhere near the end of the tunnel.  I think there is going to be a lot of suffering still to come in this country, and much worse in other places where they aren't taking it seriously.  But I am no expert either!

Hello Sheila - I have thought about your post since it was originally published and when I noticed it had received a gold star as well as when that "feature" was removed. 

 

It was interesting(and a bit frightening at times) to read the comments in 2020 and it is interesting(once again) to see them as 2020 is more of a memory(in some ways but odd how the previous year still plays a very divisive role in life today). 

 

Life does go on but how will future historical accounts look back at these days? Interesting. . .to say the least.
