    Have any fundamentalist preachers blamed coronavirus on gays or abortion providers yet? I haven't been paying attention.

    Bars and clubs in the city of San Francisco ordered closed for 7 weeks. 7 weeks!!! I dont know many businesses that can shut down for 7 weeks with 24 hours notice and survive. Andrew Yang should have stayed in the race. The case for universal basic income couldn't be stronger. Anyway 1st bars and clubs... almost guaranteed restaurants will be next

    Of course..........

    Last week, an Orthodox rabbi in Israel and an American pastor both claimed that coronavirus was divine punishment for allowing LGBTQ people to exist.

    Rabbi Meir Mazuz claimed that COVID-19 — which was recently declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization — was retribution for nations that allow LGBTQ Pride parades. As evidence of his claims, the nations that are being afflicted with the coronavirus support the LGBTQ community, “except for the Arab countries that don’t have this evil inclination.”

    That statement is a lie — The WHO currently reports confirmed cases of coronavirus across the Middle East. Iran has seen one of the worst outbreaks of the virus,
    though Mazuz claimed that is because of “their hatred of Israel.”....lol...

    Thanks but I should be ok at least short term. Thankfully my mom is my landlord and she's assured me I wont be evicted should I have trouble making rent. Also looking to supplement my income with some sort of online work which might be the only businesses not affected by this

    Honestly, I love my job and its breaking my heart to not be able to work as much as I'd like. But I'll survive

    I wonder what might happen if the coronavirus thing is still happening in November. Might someone declare an emergency and delay the election?

    I didn't exactly watch the video but considering the source it seemed reasonable - If i'm wrong, sorry about that.

    Nothing either of them said suggest they were denying the viruses existence

    50 years and younger you have at most a 0.4% chance of dying, cut out the smokers and it's more like 0.1% chance

    10 years and younger you have a 0% chance of dying.

    Dr Oz basically just said lock up your grandma, but you go about your daily business



    Is this the same as you trying to pretend Orange man saying dem panic is a hoax is the same as saying virus is a hoax?

    I'm worried about the store. My diet has me shop a few grocery stores; all for different items. Typically I get one thing one place, another thing another, but now I'm trying to do this one-stop shopping. I'm ordering delivery from Vons. But that doesn't get here until Wednesday, and I'm running out of food. So, I will have to venture out. I have a mask now... and gloves. But I feel really exposed out there.

    and it's not just my chances of dying that worry me, but also the chance that I pass on the virus to someone more vulnerable.

    Trump is apparently pressuring grocery stores to close. I guess we will all just start eating each other?

    Lol!

    I'm running out of food! Sprouts needs to sell those purple potatoes in bigger bags...

    and tofu, and body wash, and bbq sauce, mustard... well at least the tofu and body wash come from Vons by delivery truck. :)

    I'm dreading going out. I don't want to get my mom sick.

    So, I wish I had my camera with me. I just returned from the store, on my way there a couple were out jogging together. Damn I wish I had my camera. The man was white and the woman was asian, The man was not wearing a mask and the woman was. Jogging side by side. I thought, fighting the virus, staying healthy! One wearing a mask that was better served elsewhere, or maybe she was positive and out jogging anyways?

    now if you are going to walk around with a mask, or in this case, jog wearing one, you can expect the question and people wondering if this is your idea of self quarantine. We don’t normally walk or jog around wearing a mask. This creates hysteria as well. Paranoia.

    after all, haven’t there been a lot of people, going out, knowing they are infected and potentially putting others lives at risk simply for their own selfish wants? Wearing masks like some are doing further increases the fear and people’s fears. If you are sick, avoid contact with others, Don’t take your child who might be sick as well to a school dance, Don’t share your glass, don’t conserve toilet paper and both wiping with the same piece, don’t share tooth brushes, clean doorknobs and counter tops you have touched, etc... don’t hop on a plane, knowing you are sick with it, knowing others could die from it, with no consideration for your fellow man. It has been a rule for some time that sick people are not suppose to fly,

    if people continue to do these things there will be consequences for everyone! Health officials can seek a court order and issue a formal quarantine that will require people, families to stay in by the force of law. Which I believe is happening with a family in Missouri, if enough do it, those infected will all be isolated automatically by force, like look at Italy.l. Complete lock down.

    In many Asian countries it is customary to wear a mask when dealing with something as mundane as allergies. It is considered rude to be out and about and coughing/sneezing without a mask. If she is a foreigner she could be wearing it out of politeness while battling the common cold. Or shes bought into the hype and thinks that will protect her. Point is, you dont really know why shes wearing that mask

    It finally got real serious over here: besides all restaurants etc also the coffeeshops have to temporarily close... God freaking damnit. Why don't they give it 24 hours after that message..! Heard it too late and now i wish i bought the max amount yesterday. But I was oblivious to this possible consequence (just like i was with the toilet paper last time I bought some last week and there still was plenty)
