    f--- this is getting way too close now. I had the most strange, and felt like the end of the world doctor appointment today. I go in my pain doctors clinic. You couldn’t see the pain doctor face to face. Only through glass and a telephone. They aren’t even drug testing people right now, because they don’t want to deal with people’s urine bottles which I don’t blame them at all. I got my script handed under the glass without any health questions asked.

    So my 3 year old boy has now got a "new, persistent cough". No fever yet though. However he has only just gone back to nursery for the first time since Christmas so it's prob just a standard bug that all kids share. Still, time for him to be kept home 24-7. Just what we need when trying to calm down a month old baby.

    I’m more paranoid now though, a guy there who I know said someone who he works with caught the Coronavirus in Florida, while he was on vacation and came back not knowing he had it. Dude lives within 25 mins from me. Now I’m thinking what if the infected person passed it to the guy I was talking to, and he doesn’t even know he has it yet. I’ll f---ing sue their company ,if I test positive for it. I thought maybe the guy was trolling me, so I asked the pharmacists if it’s true someone has the virus here. They said it’s already here and they received a warning about it. They can’t go too much into details about who has it because of hippa laws. There’s some people wearing mask now in stores and at the doctors building. Maybe it won’t look crazy if I finally get to pull out my full biohazard suit next month I have to go to the doctor. I would recommend to buy some on amazon in case prices really sky rocket.

    this is primarily due to more testing & infected people we should have identified a week ago.

    WASHINGTON – Two members of Congress, Reps. Mario Diaz-Balart and Ben McAdams, have tested positive for coronavirus in one day, causing other members who may have been exposed to go into self-quarantine and raising the question of whether there are more cases on Capitol Hill. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.usatoday.com/amp/2871740001 (For full article)

    This virus has to be spreading through the air, and it likely stays in the air for 2-3 hours. At least from a Harvard professor I follow as my go to source, he said so. And he has been spot on with everything about this Virus so far. There’s no way you only get it from saliva, body to body interactions. You know members of the Congress were probably under very strict conditions, and now they still got it. It’s spreading way too fast for it to be only spread by body fluids. We desperately need the temperature to go up to help stall this virus, and hopefully have a vaccine by October when the temperature goes back down.

    Almost every grocery store is hiring because of how slammed they are. But you have so many people pass you in a grocery store, idk if it’d even be worth it even for those looking for extra income. Being dead serious here, I would wear a mask and disposable gloves if I was working in a grocery store environment. Or any job where you are swamped with customers walking by you:

    From disease experts, it’s gonna take 12 to 18 months for a vaccine. We aren’t even close yet unfortunately

    Is it really technically racist, whenever that’s where this disease started spreading. I can see why someone may want to think that’s racist, just because they hate trump that bad.

    This was obviously from a draft, where we just knew that China first had this disease. I’m sure that’s why they originally labeled it China Virus. Trump just doesn’t think straight either. He’s a old dude in his 70. Old people always start to limit their vocabulary. The correct words don’t come out as fast. You know what I’m saying.

    The spanish flu didn’t originate from Spain. It originated in the United States. His staff literally typed in his speech “coronavirus” & he went out of his way to cross it out & put “Chinese virus.”

    Wouldn't surprise me if this virus did actually originate from that biohazard unit in Wuhan tbh.

    im not saying it didn’t originate in China. It probably did but the names of viruses don’t typically stem from their origin.
