Ok, everyone is different. Many elderly's happiness depends on little stuff we call non essential. And in these scary times, they can be helped mentally and emotionally by doing little things. If I'm offering to help the elderly lady downstairs and she says bottled water then I'm going. Chances are too I'll be adding more stuff to my pantry.
We go thru a case of Fiji water each week. Best tasting water we have found. Cost is relative to each person.
i agree that everyone is different so maybe stop making universal condemnations of others that is all i am sayin take that to the bank bromigo
I think this might be like when ownership gives a vote of confidence to the Coach...
So if someone wants store brand water it’s cool, but the other brand, in the same aisle ...is off limits?
In an emergency, if someone asks me to get them bottled water, I get them bottled water.
He's been focused on that, without evidence, for 3-4 weeks in here. This isn't new for tonydead. Once Trump said it would end up under 1 percent, a mob of sycophants now are convinced the mortality rate is 1% or sub 1% despite any evidence of that.
I believe some stores like Walmart have a morning hour set aside for elderly folks.
Me too. I'll continue helping the elderly around me and those in the assisted living my friend's mom is in who are having a tough time, not just with this crisis but everything because of age related issues such as memory and cognitive decline.

Right, this is what flattening the curve is all about. The fatality rates are something that can be examined in retrospect, the denominator is unknowable at the current time. The measures are being taken so that a hospitalization spike is hopefully avoided.
This is a no-win situation for Trump. A lockdown destroys the economy but stops the virus. Ignoring the virus keeps the economy running and leads to a massive amount of deaths.
Moderates have asked multiple times to not post rumors and post links to support statements. Think that is all people really want.Nice job avoiding my question.
The reality is that information is really important right now. There is a lot of it, some good some not so good. Ive been using this forum to "read the tea leaves". What I mean is I use it to correlate info from outside my area to things I know from my area. I use this information to try to make informed decisions for my family.
If all we did was react to facts, we would be behind by the time information comes out.
For example - I filled up my gas tanks because of this thread (as well as other indicators). Why? First, I could think of a few scenario where stations may shut down. Secondly, it really wasnt a big deal. I mean, I go to the station and fill up on gas that will eventually get used anyway. Whats the big deal? The worst scenario would have been if I didnt fill up my gas and missed my chance.
Guess what? I can still get gas today and Im not wounded over it.
That's not how it works. If I gave the entire planet Ebola tonight the death rate isn't (current # of Ebola deaths)/7.7 billion because there are about 7.7 billion people with undetermined fates.
Nice. I avoid riding on roads but might start for the time being. The trails are wall to wall people. It's nearly impossible to ride. And a little anti-social distancing.It's only 25 degrees out here, but it is sunny. I'm going for a nice long bike ride. Enjoy your Fijis all
Stay happy and healthy all
I haven't read that but wouldn't surprise me if it's higher that. Flu is still going around along the common cold....and allergies. With all the news coverage of coronavirus, someone with a runny nose or a slight cough could be "omg, I got coronavirus!"
America already has a really bad problem with suicides. If the economy tanks for months, people struggle to find work, pay bills, etc, there will be an adverse impact to mental health.
Just make sure you keep keeping tabs on who said what first and how much smarter you are than everyone else. Unless of course you're not. We all love getting this critical info from you.
Nope. Tanner mentioned elsewhere there is some Act that prohibits this because you can’t guarantee fair access to all students
NYS did 10k tests yesterday and had 2950 positives. Most of the testing (and cases) in the US are currently coming from here as we’re one of the few places that have testing ramped up (Cuomo was saying on a per capita basis its the highest in the world).
So just a shade under 2 million deaths over the next year? With the majority being older or those with pre ex conditions? We have 2.8m US deaths in a given year already - with the majority being older and those with pre ex conditions. Tough question to ask, but will all of these “lockdowns” and the destruction of the economy be worth it when this is all over?
Hindsight is 20/20. There are a number of countries that didn't lockdown their population and haven't seen incredibly terrible infected rates.
What about the cost to the planet?We go thru a case of Fiji water each week. Best tasting water we have found. Cost is relative to each person.
Yeah this is horrible, my daughter has the biggest case of "senioritis" already, just got her a Chromebook from the school district yesterday... I can't imagine what she's gonna do when she hears this.
. Just saying.
