It's a media fueled panic, built entirely on misuse of misreported data, all for one purpose - getting rid of Trump. Pray it works, or we are in for four more years of this s**t. Not because of what Trump does or doesn't do, but because the media will spend every single minute for the next four years terrifying you of one thing or another, and the American populace is too freaking stupid to realize they are being played like fiddles.

Seriously, if you want everything to be hunky dory again...vote Biden like your life depends on it.
So the world wants Trump gone so bad they are all in on this?

That’s serious conspiracy kool-aid right there.

To the poster who messaged me about our having heard of delivery, there is no delivery where we live. We are too far out in the boonies and have to go into the closest town for groceries. I'm not paying an arm and a leg to get groceries delivered either. So that's not an option.

Delivery is not available in my area. We are too far out. But maybe it's an option for some.

So the healthy have to stay home so the vulnerable can go out?

You aren't supposed to go see them under the lockdown, either.

That's unfortunate but we can't drag all of society down to accomodate the least common denominator.

Of course not. People just need to use common sense. Wear a mask. Socially distance. It's not that hard.

Society has already been dragged down to accommodate the least common denominator. Guess it depends on your definition of least common denominator.

I find it ridiculous people who criticize people out in public, whether it be a protest or or at the beach, blaming them if they get infected. It’s stupid! Blame yourself for getting infected for leaving your home unprotected. Everyone is responsible for their own safety. If I’m infected out in public, it’s your fault you got from me. You shouldn’t have left your home unprotected.
By that logic, if I knowingly keep a vicious pitbull and it mauls you while I'm taking it out for a walk, it's your fault you got mauled by my dog. You shouldn't have been walking near dogs you don't know, and you're responsible for your own safety.

I never cowered in fear at home -- nor did my husband and son.

We chose to stay home and out of crowded spaces to mitigate the spread to us or to others if we were unknown carriers.

That's not cowering in fear in our homes...that's being socially responsible.
