Well what else would we expect from a idiot that says he didn't know asymptomatic people could spread the coronavirus....

LOL homoe....I am not good on correction but I have to tell you I also thought it was the same guy. The truth is this guy is the (R) governor of Georgia and that guy was the (R) governor of Tennessee. Gotta hand it to the Republicans though, they are "straight" down the line for being idiots.

No worries. Some of these Governors don't use the brain they were born with!

So far I have not been too worried, but this coming week I need to go and have my INR level read because of being on a blood thinner. And I wouldn't be worried even about this EXCEPT a pharmacy ,with a high level of traffic, is located in the same area....

I just heard about it on the BBC World News. "A tiger at a zoo in New York has tested positive for COVID-19. The four-year-old female named Nadia is thought to have contracted the virus from a keeper at Bronx Zoo who didn't have any symptoms. Several big cats there have recently developed a dry cough, including three other tigers and three African lions. Nadia is thought to be the first animal to test positive for the corona virus in the U.S."

So is someone working on a vaccine or a cure for cats? Probably not. What will we do if domestic cats can catch COVID-19? The possibilities are horrible.

Do they take appointments? You can book an appointment during their down time if that's even a thing right now...or be there first thing in the morning when they open.

If you go to your appointment just go and then leave right away. They are saying that the safest place for people to be right now is at home. The military is out in certain states and it's been said that they are stopping people and asking where they are going. They are trying to keep people off the streets so go where you need to go and then go back home.

Boris Johnson, the U.K.'s PM, is now in the ICU with worsening COVID-19 symptoms. (He has asked the Foreign Secretary to "fill in for him where needs be", but apparently Johnson is still in charge.) He is not yet on a ventilator.

This is the same genius who was shaking hands with coronavirus patients in the hospital just a few weeks ago, and proud of it. His pregnant partner got the symptoms about a week ago. Just imagine all the people he has infected!

Just hearing about this now… I believe he is the first “world leader“ to be stricken this hard.

I have a friend sending us each a reusable mask to go out in. I'm relieved. We only had bandanas to cover our faces when we went out Friday. I felt so exposed to this pandemic with my bandit mask. We have to go out again this coming week. I did my usual monthly grocery order for delivery but they are now almost 2 weeks out. So an order placed on the 3rd will be delivered the 16th. I need to get things to get me through until then. Hopefully we get the masks by about Friday or so. I don't want to go to the grocery store without one. Or the pharmacy for that matter. I hope the mask helps me not to freak out too badly about catching this thing. Friday when we got home, I was a mess. While out I bought some really expensive beer (accidentally). So I cracked one and tried to chill. I mean I washed up and sterilized everything last thing. We are both "at risk" individuals. And we stay in as much as possible. But We aren't elite enough to just buy 3 months worth of groceries and supplies at a pop. I'm convinced the Republicans are trying to exterminate the poor. Kill of those on the fixed incomes so that money can be used to pad their wallets and portfolios even more. It's disgusting. Being "sold out" by your own government for the all mighty dollar. Now I consider myself pretty open minded, but......how does one wrap their head around making states compete in a bidding war for medical supplies and PPE during a pandemic? Why are we taking supplies meant for other countries? I mean dirty pool is not how this should be played. This is Global. I don't think any one country by itself is going to solve this. I think we all need to put our best people on it and do this as a global team. But......how is the World going to come together when we can't even get our whole country to come together? I felt more US unity during 9/11 than I'm feeling now. Is it going to take the numbers skyrocketing before more people put down the kool aid and wake up?
