Coronavirus, Covid 19 Discussion and How It Has Affected Your Daily Life Chat Thread

I was thinking of taking myself and the kids "up north" (that's a Wisconsin term) to our place in Crivitz, WI in the north woods. It's very secluded, probably best place to be right now. We go fishing, and make huge fires at night.

A little fear if it inspires common sense is a good thing. Panic and stress on the other hand is counterproductive.

Caution and wisdom inspire common sense, not fear. Healthy caution is good, fear never is.

Maybe things are different in NE, but wisdom is frequently in short supply around here. So I'll accept some fear as a motivator.

Check out this article on how Israel had a vaccine for Covid-19 so quickly. http://www.migal.org.il/Migal.covid

Does that also infer that we could pass it ,Covid-19 ,to our chickens??

The other way around imho:
This pandemic is more contagious as we (America/Europe) have seen before. That’s why we fear. Just don't panic. No need for that.

Just stay away from people a while if you can. Stay healthy and happy.

Fear leads to eventual anxiety and panic. It is quite contagious, but I feel fear is the wrong term to use. Caution and diligence might be better. But yes, people must not panic, that is where the snowball effect really takes hold.

Sounds too good to be true. 90 days out from production? And it’s oral?

Wisdom is sadly short everywhere, but using fear as a motivator, well Yoda would have to disagree, he had some great speeches on that.

Think them and Washington have the most cases. I might be wrong because I can't even look at the news because my phone is being slow. Too many people on the Verizon network.

New York is really being hit hard.

There we go - I never did like Yoda.

We are back in the woods more or less between Antigo and Rhinelander (northern centralish Wisconsin for you non upnort folks) stores and such as crazy up here as in the south. We joined the "club" overnight. 2 CV deaths in the state, one of them in Fondulac. There have been reported cases in the Fox valley/GreenBay area and from what I understand from my nurse stepdaughter down there folks in Greenbay aren't taking things awefully serious yet so be careful if you travel north.
Have an appointment with my oncologist in Greenbay in early April. Probably won't be going.
