F them - no money for me :-) (joking btw)

Also their package includes corporate tax cuts... which is beyond dumb. Corporations only pay taxes on profits.... that is not in the universe of current problems.

Also I find it amusing that anyone though the Republicans would come up with anything close to a reasonable package. ... all these liberals have been freaking out on twitter about getting outflanked.. Yeah that was never going to happen

No. We'll be fine. You'll be fine. Take precautionary measures seriously and keep your head up. You'll be good.


Definitely the right attitude. Just be as careful as possible. If you don't feel like you are over-reacting you are probably under-reacting!


word. i'm off!

I've been having a lot more trouble sleeping at night. Last night had to take 75 MG Hydroxyzine to tranq myself (antihistamine).


You should take some timeout from the coronavirus stuff. This reaction tells me you are doing yourself harm by reading about it.

You have enough information on the virus. Just tune out and continue being safe.

Can't. My mind is WAY too active. If I stop posting here I'll keep reading and researching hours a day anyway.

Not to feed any trolls and conspiracy theories, but one thing I noticed scrolling through this topic: all the "scare stories" of young people dying or whole families dying (one with mother and 2 children dying from Corona) and so on... are blocked for EU/outside US ( " This site isn't currently available in the EU") . I understand travel bans, but what the heck is going on with this? :crazy:

Side note: This COVID-19 thing is serious everywhere now, it seems... In my country state of "emergency" was declared a week ago, meaning lots of strick rules and bans.

China is a communist country. If you didnt know...

And there is a clear direction from the top. But the president doesn't have control over the states. That would be up to the govenors.

Ask yourself this. What is my governor doing? Mine has the state on lock down and I'm very happy with her response. If you have a problem with your state's response go complain to your governor.

If they managed to keep deaths below 10,000, how on earth could America ever get to 1 million+ deaths as some were predicting? That seems incredibly unlikely.


Because China acted as one, we currently have 50 states acting as their own countries with no real direction from uptop. China also can mass produce everything they need, they didn't have a shortage of masks, ventilators or doctors/nurses. They built "hospitals" in 10 days and lockdown a massive region.

Try meditation, start watching a sitcom, whatever, but don't let yourself always thinking about this. I know it's hard, but it's way better.

Moreover: Most models say 60-70% of the population will be infected. Based on your posts you seem to be in the 30-40% that won't… :wink:

I distract myself playing with my daughter+ playing video games. Work is so dead though that I have endless hours of downtime. Which I use pretty much purely researching this pandemic.
