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

And here is how it happens. Alaskan had a colonoscopy last Friday. Mid week this week he/she (we're not quite sure) was notified that one of the nurses helping with the procedure tested positive for Covid 19. 'Al' immediately went into self quarantine away from spouse and family. Yesterday 'Al' became ill. Is it Covid 19 ? Don't know yet. I like 'Al'.

Sounds like my surgery I had... but thankfully I tested negative!

I wonder if people who wear masks are smiling or not smiling under those masks?

Things to ponder during these stupid times...

Been there with both friends and family - some made it, some didn't. Some ended up with a totally different, non-life-threatening virus. No matter the outcome, it's scary and unnerving for those of us watching and worrying and waiting. My prayers go out to all of you, today ... especially "Al" and his family.

I really don't know. The outbreak in that summer camp in I believe Georgia is what I fear in our schools. Our kids are old with college age kids of their own. 2 have graduated college, 2 are in college, and one is a senior in high school. Here in NJ things have been better with folks following suggested guidelines until - lifeguards thought it was okay to have parties, someone thought a 700 person party was a good idea, someone thought a graduation celebration without precautions was fine - past several days have shown an uptick in cases here.

I saw that in the news. Our granddaughter will be in 7th grade, and really enjoys school. I can always homeschool her, but I think attending school is important. Our daughter works in a school, and we worry about her

I am a full-time substitute teacher. I go in after the teacher goes home, sick. I've always carried my own writing utensils, bleach wipes and Lysol, but that's not enough, anymore. Guess who is, after nearly fourteen years in a job I absolutely love, currently seeking other employment ...

I hear you MROO Glad I retired a few years ago. Now teachers are looking for early retirement or alternatives.

The Princess and I discussed this, and the conclusion was that if we had school aged kids one of us would have to stay home and homeschool them. If one of us was a teacher we would have to seek other employment. Sad. I have the greatest empathy for teachers, people in the restaurant or hospitality business, nurses, doctors, EMTS, police, firemen, and the list goes on and on. I can only wonder what winter is going to bring.

You never know. I sometimes tell people that I'm smiling.

You seem like good people and I want to make sure I don't offend anyone.

People look at this and look closely, there may be things that are not what they appear.

I want EVERY ONE to feel freedom. That is my goal and I do this without any prejudice.

Freedom is the most valuable thing we have.

God Bless ALL!
