It is not yet known how many Americans will die while politicians in Washington decide how to avoid giving the other side any success in fighting the virus.
Erick, I have to admit, I am surprised that you are so concerned about this flu virus. To date, there have been 39 deaths, with 26 of those in the Washington State nursing home. Other strains of the flu are actually killing people of all ages, but this is what you are focused on?
People's lives are being destroyed by this mass hysteria...most notably, small businesses. You do not think there is a reason why there might be people trying to destroy our economy? Instead we should be living our lives, working, buying, selling....not hiding.
My mom is in a local nursing home. I visit her often and keep her supplied with foods and niceties that make her happy. I planned to visit her today for the last time for a few weeks knowing it is possible to carry COVID-19 in to the residents and staff. I prepared an extra nice care package and planned to teach her to video chat. I woke up this morning to the news of a lockdown, so I am unable to see her. She is scared, already feeling the loneliness of isolation, and I am tearful. I am concerned some of the staff will fall ill and the home will be short staffed. Still, I am grateful that action is being taken to protect my mom's (and the other residents') wellbeing. It is an uncertain time, and I do hope everyone acknowledges the risks and governs themselves accordingly. And, yes, I have a little extra toilet paper.
I've talked to far too many people recently who aren't concerned or are solely concerned about the impact on their lives. Coincidentally, none of them have close family who are likely to be seriously ill (they do have parents, but parents are apparently immortal.)
Meanwhile, local fire departments are thinking about cancelling pancake breakfasts, which are a big fundraiser and spreader of goodwill. Just in case they become a spreader of coronavirus too. Because we all need to watch out for each other.
We're in total agreement with asking the networks to simply provide the facts, and providing relatable commentators/reporters. Why is that so difficult for most networks to understand?
Checked out Steve Doocy’s Cookbook. Does look great. Will order a copy.
