Parks are closed. Schools, Museums, retail stores, all salons, theaters.

You can't control what people do in their own homes. They can be advised on best practice, but if they're going to be stupid, what more can you do?

Very serious complications in 20+% of the cases when we don't even know how many asymptomatic people there are? Or how many have had it and didn't get tested because they were mild or recovered on their own? So what's this 20+%, then? Of those that were serious enough to go to the hospital, 20% of those?

I wish people would just stop it with acting like this is the single most dangerous thing to have ever happened to humanity. I seriously think some of you would be less upset and anxious about a giant asteroid hurtling toward the earth.

Hundreds of people are dying a day in our state alone. That’s not serious enough?

The issue is that everyone seems to have a different personal risk threshold. Which is why we see people consistently texting and driving, and OUI for example. Honestly I don't care about your behavior except when it starts to affect me or my loved ones.

Parks are open. You can still have social distancing in a park. There are differences in local VS state and non profit.

Playgrounds are closed that's different. As long as you maintain distance it's fine.

Ok here is a video for those stuck in your homes that can calm your nerves about covid-19.

This video has a doctor who is working on the frontlines with this virus. He uses data that they collected in California . They know how they got the data.

It is well worth watching. since the shutdown domestic violence has gone up , child molestation, and suicides .

If anyone watches this I would like to hear your opinion on it. Thanks

I’m curious as to when people will feel comfortable getting together with family members? That’s one area where I’ve been surprised to see people so disciplined. I don’t know for sure but I’ve seen people post on Facebook how much they miss their parents or grandparents when the normally see them all the time. I admit I have seen my parents. We’ve gone to their house 3 or 4 times since this happened.

I do wonder when others will feel comfortable with seeing family members?? I don’t see why baker lifting the may 4th closed business plan should have anything to do with people no longer afraid of giving or getting this to family.

Honestly there’s just no way to know if someone’s brother or 10 yr old kid had it unless they get tested. It’s interesting too because many of these people I know so worried about this certainly didn’t practice safe sex or make their partners get tested. But now they won’t go near their own fresh and blood for fear of giving or getting this. Just interesting. I just don’t know when people will feel comfortable being around the people they normally would see before this. Thoughts ?
