Why do you think this isn't serious?

 

Have you looked at global graphs and figures over the past 4weeks, and the mortality rates?

Compare mortality rates compared to the flu. No one panics during flu season.

They've closed up all dine in options, movies, etc in my area - you can get food for pick up only. Limiting gatherings to 50 people or less.

*looks around* 

I've never been so afraid of my own hands in my life.

Just heard tonight our governor has told seniors 65 and older, and those with illnesses to self isolate at home!    He hasn't ordered martial law but will see if what he says is followed, according to this article.

The problem is getting food.   I am about out of food and planned to go to the market later today.  I have a 90 year old, diabetic mother that needs food...plus myself. 

 

Our mayor has also ordered restaurants to close starting now.....except for take out and delivery orders!

I suppose this comes as no real shock after the State put our facility into lock-down quarantine.

If it's for euthanasia purposes, please don't tempt me.

Grubhub.com connects you to all the major restaurants and fast food joints. But it's not free.

Scary.

Concerning, but I'm not frightened of dying by any means. I'd rather not suffer needlessly though.

I'll give you three guesses and the first two don't count.

I will bring us some hard facts .  THEN after i bring them , ask yourselves one question .   WHY on earth does ol frienduff sleep like  a peaceful baby , even though he knows these hard facts .

THAT question will be answered after i bring us some hard facts .

number one , its very true that the death rate is way more higher in proportion to the flu .

Number two check out Iran .   now when you do ,      realize the median age is only about thirty years old .  Yet their death rate is an astounding high percent .   about five or six .

Last night , they now speculate this may be a more dangerous strain .  even fifteen percent of the deaths , ARE YOUTHS .

They believe a more stronger version of it has appeared .

Italy is old , but even they claim this has been very hard on the youth too .

And we aint even seen a second wave yet .

NOW ,    i just gave us the hard facts .       Ready for why i sleep as a baby and have no fear .

Ready to know why i am not panicked and worried about the economic crunch and the chaos that is beginning and will probably get far , far worse .

BECAUSE .  IMMANUEL means GOD IS WITH US .     HE IS ALL I NEED .  

Before any says but what about food , what happens if it runs out .      WELL IMMANUEL SAID , worry not what ye shall eat , drink or over the morrow .  MY FATHER FEEDS even BIRDS , even birds 

even birds ,  WILL HE NOT MUCH MORE TAKE CARE OF YOU .    AS I SAID .  MY GOD is with the lambs .     AND HE ALONE IS ALL WE NEED .

And we aren't even in the 7 year tribulation yet

Here's a thought pertaining to Marshall Law, isolation and enforcement:

The percentage of law enforcement and the military whom contract any virus or biological agent; will most likely be higher than the general public, due to their close knit contact and close quarters. If our government can't handle a crisis such as this, because a large percentage of enforcement is contagious and / or out sick; whom will? Would the U.S. invite and call for the assistance of the United Nations and U.N. troops on our own soil?

Calling up the National Guard for pandemic control, enforcement, riot control, looting, etc. National Guard troops have wives, children, parents, brothers / sisters and grandparents too. Would they walkout on their responsibility to them over their orders to mobilize for deployment, forsaking their families? Unfortunately, we may shortly find out the answer to those questions.

I pray this doesn't happen but, given the history of 'the city of angels', I'm surprised rioting and looting by the gang-banger's, druggies and general criminals hasn't occurred yet.

Grocery stores are now limiting their hours.   I went to the crowded market yesterday, neighbor took me.....shelves empty or hardly any food on shelves.   Some food I had was confiscated at checkout (even though there were no signs limiting how many you could buy).   So I came home with very little food....six frozen dinners (for two of us), crackers, cream cheese, almond milk, cookies and cat food.

 

Went to the nearby Asian restaurant last night, got three to go dinners to last us a couple of days, so spent $25 again.    A neighbor today bought us a Subway Sandwich since I am a senior citizen and not supposed to go out.   But I will have to go out at times for food, and to get cash to reimburse neighbors.

I never have used Amazon.   A friend offered to buy us some supplies but I heard Amazon leaves packages in the lobby....this is a 74 unit building and sometimes things used to disappear.   I might ask a friend to order a few things for us....she has a home, to get the package.   Maybe her husband would drop some stuff off for us.

 I wonder who is really behind all of this panic? Is it political? Are they going to close down the grocery stores so people will starve? Are they going to close down the pharmacies so people can not get their medication? They are acting this like some kind of very serious disaster like a serious solar flare or EMP. It isn't. 

The grocery stores are practically closed down now....food is very scarce here.

I'm praying for you and your mother, @Debp. So many are in need and the rising panic doesn't help matters one bit. 

Thanks Dusty, appreciate it.

Food is a necessity so that is what makes it harder on us.   I don't drive anymore to drive to many markets looking for food.   

Thankfully my mom gets Meals on Wheels (lunch) five days a week.   I tried to get them this a.m. but they are bombarded with applications now.
