Some can laugh about this virus but it’s guaranteed someone or some of us will be directly affected by this virus. If by getting it ourselves or a family member or losing someone we know. Some will lose their jobs and income. To me it’s not a laughing matter at all.
 
We don’t have to call it lockdown. We can call it social distancing or shelter in place. All to me are a lockdown just different languages. When no one can go out to places to eat, shop or hang out at sports events then it’s a lockdown.

I can still eat , shop and hangout . In fact I had dinner outside last night at a Mexican restaurant and went to the mall and Walmart yesterday . For the last week people have been saying trumps gonna do a two week lockdown .

What we have now isn’t a lockdown . At least not in my state

It’s not a laughing matter but I’m thankful president Trump has the guts. To say it like it is the Chinese virus because that’s where it came from!

That would be nice to go out to eat. I know where I went to work in IL and KY everything is closed. Only drive thru. No shopping was open. Guess just depends on where one is at.??I would to have Mexican yum
 
Atlanta mayor has just ordered all bars and restaurants and gyms closed. Restaurants can do delivery and carry out and she has suspended booting and towing of cars in the city’s right of way.
 
He grows more bitter towards China as each day passes. They dropped the ball. It’s going to be the whole world against China when this is all over.
Agreed and doesn't help that China accused our Military of starting the virus.... China: they are who we thought they were

Right it’s not the end of the world. I’m getting the kids out of house today. We go find a roadside waterfall and stay 6ft away from people. Then go through a drive through to eat

I hate to be a "Debbie Downer" but I don't think life can go on as we all want it to. We are going to have to make some HUGE sacrifices so that we can hopefully save tens of thousands of lives.
 
I assume the number of cases jumped faster partially due to more testing.
I wonder if it’s backlogged tests finally getting processed as well as increased testing. Seems there’s still this morning not only patients complaining they can’t get tested, but healthcare workers saying they still don’t have increased test kits.

Yes, and imagine how many are really in Georgia since we know that they are telling most people who want a test to just stay at home. You only get a test if you are in need of critical care. If they are saying 287 confirmed then we can safely assume it is in the thousands.

I had to lay 5 people off this morning. Worst thing you can do is lay off someone who brings their A game to work everyday. Ive been on both ends of layoffs back in 2009. When you got mouths to feed besides your own and know the people who get laid off do as well, it makes you sick in the stomach.

I'm sorry man. That really does suck.

This new sensitivity about calling diseases by their geographic location is absurd. No one cared when we called Zika and Ebola by the names of their origin points in Africa. There's also "West Nile" virus, MERS (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome), etc.

And of course the Spanish Flu. I don’t think calling it the Chinese Virus is derogatory.
 
This is much needed imo.
