The older you get the more you start thinking about things, I'm 54 I remember when I was a kid the flu was when you had a fever and threw up, and other things, a cold was coughing, stuffed up head and running nose, nowadays I'm not sure what separates one from the other, the one thing today is the strains of the cold last alot longer and have a bigger affect than they use too.

Trump isn't the best at doing what his advisers recomend. He's done alright but his ego seems like it can get in the way. Typical New York yankee and he's the best we have at this point.

Stay safe out there Kenny. It seems to be showing up where you least expect it.

That's why their called advisors. Those at the top making the decisions are the one's who take the blame also.

I think Trump is the best for what we need now. He is not perfect, but all the others seem much more less perfect for the job. I feel he will get us through this, and it might not be easy. I can't imagine what it would be like with a person in office looking for kickbacks on what ever they could find to initiate.
With what is at stake now, I see 95% of the other politicians ordering all kinds of medical supplies that would allow a huge kick back in the end for them. It has the potential to be a huge money pit for all the corrupt people in government.
Yes, he is the best man for the office for these times.

The majority of people live pay check to pay check. When I was working, I saw so many people that would have been in a major down hill slide if they missed one paycheck. They saved nothing. They spent their checks before they got it in their hands with boats, cars, bikes, and extreme houses.
I tried talking to a young man that worked there and told him how he could retire a millionaire if he would put at least 10% of pay in a 401K plan at work. Once you get used to having that much taken out, then you don't miss it. He said the union would take care of him because of the pension. I tried telling him that the Union might fall and there would be no pension.
He later told me that he had elected 1% of his wages. I hope what little he saw going into his 401K and how it grew unless he put it in a money market account would add up.
The Teamsters and their pension went belly up. They say it was because of the stock market, but I know they kept their hands in the cookie jar. They send messages out all the time now with how they cannot afford to pay pensions past 2025. I am 62 now, and have not seen the first check as they arrive at age 65.

So he's quarantined as all of this heats up? Seems like quarantines could be useful. |

It was reported that we had a case here in Gibson County in Tennessee 5 days ago. The mayor of the county had reported it on TV. But it took 5 days for it to show up on the official count, so that makes me believe there are even more at this stage that is being counted.
I had made an appointment to get my hair trimmed tomorrow, but the lady that cuts it, called Sunday and told me that the governor had shut her down. She said she didn't know how she was going to make it. So, the restaurants are shut down from anyone eating out. It was odd how you could go inside Hardee's to place the order, but you could not stay there and eat it.

The numbers are BS. A paramedic friend of mine said a guy he knew called the number to discuss his symptoms. Lady on the line said, yep, you probably have corona.
He said ok, were do I go to test for it. She asked if he had contact with anyone positive. He said no. So she wouldn't set him up with testing.
Nothing is adding up.
I dont think we have the L form and there's more to the positive cases being reported.

There is now a suspected case in the town I go to most often, about 6 miles away. I say 'suspected' only because the test has not yet come back from CDC's facility in Houston. The official report just says "North Liberty County". The county line is between me and Cleveland. I've seen the lady's FB page and she actually lives in the part of town that is just NW of US 59 and it's known as North Cleveland. I've met her previously but know her only well enough to be able to call her by name and recognize her if I saw her. She was working at a restaurant over near Dayton but it's currently closed. " Liberty County: 1 person
On March 22, The Texas Dept. of State Health services announced the first known patient in Liberty County. A north Liberty County woman who's 40 to 50-years-old had mild symptoms and was isolating at home. It wasn't known if the woman had traveled recently." abc13.com/5999764/ |

I know a guy that knows a guy that has a brother that said his friend told him that he heard from a neighbor that saw a man that said he had covid-19 but couldn't get tested. |
