On my own???

The reality???

I have GOD the Holy Spirit living inside of me and Jesus personally promised me He would never, never leave me!!!

Alone, ...ABSOLUTELY not!

And that Truth "is" reality!!!

They also said they expect 500 deaths. So I guess the implication is - maybe you will be one of them so don't worry? Really odd...

They already have an overloaded system here. My housemate called and was on hold with the NHS for 68 mins. Then gave up.

So if you are really sick - just get that stiff upper lip in play and tough it out.

Basically, you are on your own. And that is the reality of it all anyway. The waffle from the gov is just noise... placatory nothings. No one has answers, so they bifurcate many scenarios so you are left befuddled.

Totally with you there brother.  All the advice I hear so far is to wash your hands.  This is supposed to be a natural standard practice of good hygiene and do appreciate the emphasis of doing so.  As you said, no one has the answers, so basically everyone is on their own and how one recovers and survive this infection is ???.

I think though, people have to do their best to stay healthy and use foods that keep the immune bodily system in shape.  It is better than just eating junk and making way for other infections and disease to weaken  the  body. 

Stay healthy and send up those prayers.

You know this is so true.  I have been in a few situations that has tested me to the limits that I was certain I was going to die, but I did not waver on my faith and choose to die if that was the alternative.  The Lord delivered me and I am grateful and thankful to him for it.  This was a spiritual battle with a physical test.  I thought many times to post this here, but I realize it was for my own personal witness and trial to remind and help keep me faithful in life trials and difficulties.   Anyone who has read my post in the past, knows that I have repeatedly spiritual warfare that are real, but yet cannot be seen and is just as dreadful as this situation that we have now.   It reminds me of Daniel and those three boys and how they kept the faith with steadfast fixture on the Lord thy God.   We have to be strong in the Lord and the power of his might  as these things and the many more that are to come would try us to the limit.

Amen and AMEN!!!

Brothers, sisters, IN Christ, ...today, at this very moment, in this current pandemonium, ...Father has "placed" us in a fiery furnace!

Jesus told us "we" are the Light of the world, His "Light," ...that is so "bright" that it out shines the sun!

How can we be that "Light" if our unsaved family members, neighbors, co-workers, friends and the world observe us "doing" the same thing the world is doing?

Where is our Trust in Jesus and His Word? 

Now, more than ever, is the time to make our Faith evident to those lost and dying souls...

We live our lives in Faith of/in our Lord, the just live by their faith, and if it's Father's will that we become a martyr for Him, ...then as we live our lives to Glorify Him, ...may our death glorify Him also!

Have you never read Fox's book of Martyrs, ...the death of our brothers and sisters Glorified God, and their deaths resulted in many placing their Faith and Trust in our Lord!

Beloved, be encourages, be comforted, ...Jesus is "with" us, ...Trust in the Lord with all of your heart, soul, mind and body...

For God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

May the Lord richly bless you

"it would be prudent to get your items you need while they still can be found. "

This is the kind of thinking which creates the shortages in the first place.  Instead of joining the crowd, resist and the supply chain will soon catch up.

The UK is an area of the world where the US has not imposed travel restrictions.  This infers to me the US government has high confidence the UK is making good decisions and the risks are being managed well there.

I have not even visited stores in the last 10 days when when I go, I will not be attempting to purchase any of the items people are trying to horde.  Soap and water as as good at removing virus contamination as anything else.  Anti-bacterials do not kill viruses.  Washing the viruses off your hands is as effective.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound a cure. This kind of thinking will spare me tons of grief. I'm a man and I'm married. WIFE: Dennis, Dennis!; we're out of toilet paper, what are you going to do about it right now, blah, blah, blah? You expect me to write my name in the snow like you do outside??? Don't you come home without any toilet paper! No Dennis, I'm not filling the bath tub with water and some bleach and use a wash cloth, I need my bleach for laundry. And by the way, since you're going out for TP, I need laundry soap so pick that up also. I know it might take hours or days but, you can warm your supper up when you get back.

Happy wife, happy life

This is how it starts, the run. The run can be as bad or worse than what is being run from. Went to the local super Walmart early this morning to get a few items that might be beneficial should things deteriorate before the panic buying sets in full force. Never seen it that crowed that early in the morning; people coming out with lots of toilet paper; long lines at the checkout with shopping carts piled full of supplies. They are completely out of many things including hand sanitizer, toilet paper, etc., but they just received a shipment of TP that morning. Just like other disasters in my lifetime, people are becoming greedy, rude and starting to panic. Every place around here is sold out of hand sanitizer and other staples.

If you operate the same way business do, with just in time delivery and not stocking much. What's it going to be like laundry time, shower time, when your business is complete, etc., and you're out of soap and TP? I don't know what it's getting like in your geographical area but, it would be prudent to get your items you need while they still can be found. 

Don't have a clue how this will turn out but; I can predict the nature of many people and what they will probably do and when. Been there - done that. I believe panic buying is just starting, and this could be a prelude to something as a nation this generation has never experienced. 

Here where I am at the big supermarkets are being picked dry of stuff, but the smaller stores like dollar general are not....Yet.... Also places that you do not think of for buying Toilet paper like Home depot have plenty in stock while Sam's club and Costco were out. I Figure once this run on TP has run its course the normal supply will be restored and there will be an over abundance of TP as people will be using their hoarded supplies for some time.

Fear is a strong motivator and doing things out of fear is not always the best thing. For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 2 Tim. 1:7

There's also a secular harbored fear in me of my wife running out of toilet paper, and what and where I'll have to do and go to prevent breaking out our neighbors corn cobs in his field

The Lord God is where he has always been, that is watching over all creation and situations.  What exactly is your question, you need to amplify it a bit.  

Malachi 3 King James Version (KJV)

⁶ For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.

⁷ Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the Lord of hosts. But ye said, Wherein shall we return?

Why cant God give clue as to the medicine ?
