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

One of my favorite homesteader YouTubes is asking that everyone grows their own food whether it's vegetables or eggs or meat because prices are going to skyrocket.

I'm glad I already started this!!!

Thanks - EVERYBODY - for the hugs and support. I want so badly to go hug my Dad, even though I can't - and shouldn't. I really can't even call him, eight now, as his doctors' orders are for sleep - as much as he can get while the lasix does its' job. Maybe I can talk to him tomorrow. My poor stepmom is a mess, trying to keep things positive. Thank Heavens for the cat. At least she keeps them entertained!
It's getting ready to rain here in MD, at the moment ... big surprise ... NOT! I am SO DONE with "DOWN!"

I take torsemide for my lung disease. I was taking lasix, it'll do its job and fairly quick.

I'm not sure how much sleep or rest he will get when all of the water wants to come out.

It feels like this thread is slowing a lot. Just down to banter and memes. Or has it been like that all along

I wish I had more space so I could have cows. Anyone know of large farm, with all equipment, for sale, cheap?

Yah I guess it’s slower cause we’re all getting settled into the new normal.
I think it helps too that in a lot of areas winter is on its last legs and people can get outside and aren’t strictly cooped up in their houses, us chicken folks are able to look forward now to chicks and seeds and gardens and all those other things that make life in the country great!

I know I am doing a lot more outside stuff.
Taking a brief break then back at it.

I can't do anything outside today because it is rainy and very cold so I am watching videos on how to can while I wait between laundry loads.

I have a funny story that you might enjoy...

Yesterday we had a rabbit in the yard and Coco our Muscovy was out of the fence because she can fly and we let her free range. Well the rabbit was eating her grass and she was not happy about it... She actually was nipping at the rabbit and chasing it away I couldn't stop laughing. She even waited in the yard and kept looking for it after she had chased it into the woods.

Hang in there! You are the strength needed in the family for now!

I think there’s still so many who think the virus is fake or not serious or that the masks are just to control us or whatever. Hopefully they’ll get over that. Maybe when it affects them.

 

[FortCluck]

There are a lot of people who really do not believe that this virus is real and they believe that it's all just something made up to distract us from something else.

That would be an interesting take on it, but I know my doctor and I know he can't lie He has been very honest about everything that has been happening. Plus I know he wouldn't want to have a support group meeting over the phone unless if it was something serious. Our support group is the only social thing that some of his patients do and I know he would never take that from them.

Yeah exactly!! I saw someone the other day saying it wasn’t that serious and barely any people die from it and stuff and like yeah maybe most do recover but the point isn’t whether you’ll recover or not. It’s so we don’t overwhelm the hospitals. Plus like 4000 people have died here. But they don’t get that. They literally said the mask requirement (governor just ordered everyone to wear masks the other day) was communism and government trying to be controlling just because they even said people that just accepted it and wore the masks were sheep lmao uh maybe I just don’t want to get the virus or spread it to someone compromised
