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

This is soooooo important!!! We need to be open to information and honest about how we evaluate it so we can learn where our best advantage lies.

Sourland, you should post it on the top of each page.

Wouldn't that make me just as guilty ? It's only my opinion, after all, and we know what opinions are like.

I was given pre-packaged (tv dinners) food. It smells of cat, and I actually don’t know if it’s okay to eat. Opinions?

What does a cat smell like? I don't think my cats ever smelled

It’s hard to smell your own scent. This house still smells of old people, but I only detect it when I’m away for a few days.
As far as cat stink, Imagine 50 or so indoor cats. The pee, the poo, the spray.

Ewww my cat doesn't smell like any of that he's quite clean and neutured.

I smell cigarettes sometimes in this house because the previous people smoked in here. We did clean everywhere possible when we first moved in.

My house smells amazingly clean when I come home from vacation after a week. My husband says it's because we clean so good.

My friend got diagnosed with bronchitis today but they wouldn't test her for Covid 19 and she's high risk... What's wrong with these hospitals! I pray it's bronchitis and my friends daughter got turned away from the hospital and she has every symptom of Covid 19. This is sad

I agree. My daughter can't get tested until/unless she has "more severe" symptoms. Fever and severely sore throat are the current symptoms. What more are Drs waiting for? Same case for an employee of my husband. Have tightness in chest and difficulty breathing. Dr sent him home unless it grows worse. That was yesterday. I have to wonder just how many virus cases there really are.

This makes me angry! They need to test everyone and stop acting like this test is going to bankrupt us. You know what will... If we all get it!

When I saw that France had closed its borders today, a feeling of immense sadness filled me. Shortly after that, our President announced for the first time that the coronavirus is NOT under control in our country (we knew that) and ordered more stringent restrictions to help keep it from spreading. A little later my kid's school sent an alert saying school will not resume after spring break until April 6, and that it's possible it could be even later, depending on conditions. I could not understand why I could not stop crying. I am not afraid, just terribly sad. The world is so different, so suddenly! President Macron said, "We are at war with an invisible enemy." I am sad for all the ways this is affecting so many people. I am sad people are fearful. I am sad about the unknown. And mostly I am sad about the imposed isolation. When things happen, people take comfort in coming together. In unity is our strength, and this virus is forcing us apart when we need each other so badly. That, I think, is driving a deep hurt in me. We need to love one another, as much as possible. So let's be as kind as we can here in virtual space as well as in the real world. Thanks for posting stories of people helping each other. It helps. Hugs to y'all. Take care of yourselves. And of each other. Thanks.

I'm a introvert and I don't go to large gatherings, not a fan of people being close enough to touch me and would rather sit alone with a good book. I always buy online in bulk for everyday household items to save money so I feel like I've been preparing for this most of my life! LOL!

My daughter graduates in May from college and she's home doing classes online and its a bummer for her senior year.I'm praying this thing is under control sooner than later. I'm so mad the economy was booming and now this BS! My investments are starting to be effected. I'm in the Low Country of SC and my Walmart looks like right before a hurricane. It's a mess. I'm not worried about my health but elders like my Mom I keep harping on her like I'm the parent and she's the child trying to keep her safe. She wanting to go play Bingo!

Haha, those headstrong old mamas. Talked with my 84 yr old mom yesterday. Bless it she really doesn't get the gravity of the situation. In one breath, "oh I don't go anywhere anyway" and in the next she's talking about the "ladies meet I g at the library" and her weekly lunch date with her best friend. She doesn't accept that she is elderly and says she feels great for her age and I'm pretty sure she will tootle on out for lunch any way.

Are you sure your cat isn't smoking?
