I am elderly with respiratory issues but am not afraid because even if I die I have a relationship with Jesus. That being said it would be stupid for me to put myself in high risk situations where I might get infected and then might infect others including family members.

The people you infect around you might not feel the same way

Since I do not have the virus I cannot infect anyone please think before you speak in no posts have I ever said I had the virus so for you to accuse me of intentionally spreading the virus to others is just being nasty and exposes your lack of sincerity in this matter.

It's not the flu and believing that it is got us right where we are, with Fauci saying deaths may top 200,000
Some people get the wuhan covid virus and have very mild symptoms while others die, yes it spreads easier BUT most of the time the symptoms are milder.
May and will are 2 very different words, I may be a billionaire someday but will I ? That was an irresponsible thing in my opinion for fauci to say since he has no proof to back that up,he seems to be a bit of a fear monger at times I trust his associate Dr Birx much more. One talk show host I listen to calls Dr fauci chicken little

How do you know if you haven’t been tested?

The incubation period is up to 14 days with no symptoms shown.

Two weeks ago tomorrow restaurants were first shut down.

I have no symptoms, the same way I know I do not have a variety of diseases because I have no symptoms of a disease then I can assume I do not have it. If you start thinking you have diseases that you have no symptoms of then you do have hypochondria.

It's my understanding you can have COVID-19 without symptoms. A report out of Germany was expecting upwards of 70% of Germans could get the virus if a vaccine is not produced. Of that amount they predicted upwards of 80% may never know they have the virus. The other person is not accusing you of having COVID-19 but speaking in general terms. You could be a carrier, not know it, and give it to others. You're at an amazing level of deflection and circular logic in this thread.

You have a right to believe what you want as far as religion is concerned ... however, put this into perspective: one of the countries which has been absolutely devastated by this virus is Italy, a nation full of devout Catholics. Over 10,000 deaths have been reported there. Why hasn't your Jesus saved them? The U.S. is said to be a Christian nation, and I'm pretty sure many of the ones who have been severely afflicted and/or met their demise had religious beliefs. Apparently, this wonderful Jesus hasn't been able to save people from this, nor other serious health issues.

He's the same person who started the other thread & suggested that because the Phoenix area is spread out, we have a lower risk than the more dense eastern metros. If that's true, then there should be very few or no cases at all in Maricopa Country.

I would recommend picking up a Bible and reading it. Start with the Book of John in the New Testament. God's gift of "salvation" through his son Jesus Christ has nothing to do with a guaranteed physical preservation on this earth. It's spiritual rebirth and life eternal for those who believe.

Seriously; I hope you read it.

Funny story. My wife who has not been to chuch in some time went a few weeks back with her mom. My wife took her tattered bible she has owned for years, but to her surprise there was virtually no one with bibles anymore. Guess what? They use their phones and bible apps! Need to find a certain passage - just enter it and go.

Anyway, to keep this Arizona, I'll just say Ducey needs to read the passage.
