Not to worry. I live on an island and you know what the guy said ...."an island never cries".

Went out for a short walk and to buy some milk and I noticed the loony stage is now here. Three people gave me very dirty fearful looks to suggest I was carrying the plague and I was out to kill them!

What is the matter with these people, look keep calm and obey the guidelines and don't act like a moron. CALM DOWN!

Man if this is happening now I dread to think what it will be like in two to three weeks time.

Looking at traffic webcams on weatherbug. I'm very familiar with, Norfolk, VA; Charleston, SC; Atlanta, GA; Miami, FL. Highway traffic is almost non existent. Even during this time of day when things were normal seemed like everyone on earth was on the road.

Of course the videos have probably all been altered in a massive cover-up by the U.S. to make it look like nobody is driving....

Let them stare, let them look in disbelief or angwer - I wear my mask when entering a supermarket with all that moist stale air inside.

And no, I do not buy vegetable an most fruit currently. Even cleaning or processing it in the kitchen could contaminate my kitchen. Currently, only bananas, oranges, citron, lemons get bought and carefully handled, since they have an outer skin that you peel off. Apples, berries and the likes: no-no.

Also no sweet pepper, tomatoes that usually I consume a lot. Only pickled or canned. Thank good for these tzhere are indeed very good canned and pickled altemrtaives, I recommend the Italian brands especially, Muti and the like. sometimes taste better than fresh but mediocre tomatoes form Germany or Holland.



I also thionk that I mvoe to baking my opwn bread again. Bakeries often are very warm with plenty of moisture in the air. Cant be good.


Bad for the bakers if everyone would do it, I know. Its bad times, and only bad choices left.

Letters are being sent to 1.5 million people in England most at risk of coronavirus, urging them to stay home.

Those most at risk will receive letters or text messages strongly advising them not to go out for 12 weeks to protect themselves, the government said.

It comes as the PM asked the UK not to visit loved ones on Mother's Day, and follow social distancing guidelines.

Mayor of London Sadiq Khan asked people to heed the advice, saying "do it for loved ones who will die if you don't".

The number of people who have died in the UK with coronavirus rose to 244 on Sunday, as cases topped 5,000.

I heard on the news that more men than women are dying in Italy due to they are smokers, plus an older population.

In one day is more than all of the UK and the USA all together since it began

PS as for your theory vienna that the virus came from another country visiting Wuhan? I would say that the virus came from the first country that tried to hide it ... China

Israeli doctor Gai Peleg, who is currently working to save lives in Parma, Italy, told Channel 12 that things are only getting worse as the number of patients keeps growing...

Peleg said that, from what he sees and hears in the hospital, the instructions are not to offer access to artificial respiratory machines to patients over 60 as such machines are limited in number.

^That further adds to the belief of how seriously bad it must be over there

Reading the local news on my app these BASTARD SCAMMERS are scamming people with emails full of fear and worst still knocking on doors of pensioners! A couple of the door knockers have been caught thankfully. Sick evil twisted people who do this sort of thing are a disgrace to the human race.

/\ good to know: at 60+ I'm a triaged expendible! but as a sometime first-responder at massive car wrecks(as in what a mess; who ya gonna help first!) I sympathsize thoroughly with the tough call. When time(14 days+-?) and resources (ventilators, Covid-afflicted medical personnel et al)are acutely short, ya gotta make choices. The young uns should be given priority. No imho about it.

Think on (and we here of all people should realise this)... about the safest place to be right now is on board a nuclear sub that's already been at sea for the past month
