Just like the president said, we're both no experts so him nor I can say yes or no, BUT we can have hope to aim for that and have that be our goal, is that so bad? Ultimately though, just like Trump said, it will be up to what advice the professionals recommend. I can't complain about that.

LOL you think I'm a Trump supporter. Well good thing I just replied to @stncld316 before this and my first line clearly states I'm no fan of Trump at the best of times. Also knowing that I know a hell of a lot more than your average world about the outside world I'm not bother feel free to think what you want. But please do give yourself a big huge pat on the back for me for knowing sooooooooo much about the world, you sound like you really want it.

Let me start of by saying I'm no Trump fan because I just don't agree with a lot of his policies, BUT I have a lot of respect for how he has handled this situation. If you watch the press briefing and hear it first hand and not from news articles I think you would feel the same way. He has put all of his differences aside and worked hard to solve this problem. Not only that the press briefings do not consist of just Trump speaking, there's a combination of people that make-up the task force, including Dr's, researchers, economists and a whole bunch of different professionals that are working around the clock who answer questions and give updates on what is going on. They really help put a lot of what you see in the media in perspective since there is so much misinformation and fear mongering gong around. So yes I'm very proud and totally believe everything they have been talking about because unlike the crap the media is spewing there stuff comes to fruition. Don't let the media lead you blindly, if you really want to know what's going on in the States listen to the professionals talk first hand, not the ones trying to sell you something.

Im skeptical. Who knows what he might have had even though the article says no prior issues. In the end a lot of these type of stories end up being "fake news". If you notice it doesn't say that he was tested for corona only that his friend said he had it. There was a similar article going around about the 39 year-old New Orleans social worker that caused a lot of drama and it turned out that she did from pneumonia and not corona.

Seems like you also don't do anything with your day but sit in front of the news. I've had a pretty productive day around the house and I don't like the way the media is reporting on the situation and spreading a lot of misinformation so I don't tune in to the crap because I have better shit to do. Instead I wait for the government press briefing to get my news first hand before the mom twists it all around and so far I'm pretty satisfied with the results. Maybe it feels like I'm days behind to you but I'm right on time to me, I'm sorry that upsets you.

Very good point, this is the message I've been trying to get across to a lot of my healthy but anxious family and friend.

Lol I don't think anybody would not see Martina's pets, they're hard to miss. No C+Y definitely have pet. When they sit down to eat look out for Carla bending down to feed it. But you kind of answered my question, I guess it's not just me, she never takes it out to play around 😔 Also I just want to add that I've seen him/her with my own eyes but this was back when she first got it and it was in the living room.

Good to know it's mild and he's working for home. Does that worry you as a citizen? I hope Trump doesn't get it because I don't want to imagine Mike Pence in charge 🙈

Yes I do live in a bubble at the moment actually along with a whole bunch of other people self-isolating in my city, thanks for asking. And yes I did just find this out, sorry I'm some hours too late to meet your standards.

Just heard Trump say Boris has it. How are you guys feeling about that or is it a non-issue. Hope he has a mild case.

As someone who's had it, assuming you're not in an at-risk group I would suggest you hope you get it. I had it as far as I can tell (can't get tested because I had very very mild symptoms) and now having recovered at home for a couple weeks I'm not worried about catching it. For me it was milder than any cold I've ever had and it's a huge relief knowing I have the antibodies now. I feel mentally free (still stuck inside though lol).

I get what you're saying and I totally agree about the poor health care in this country (not during this crisis specifically cause it's been pretty good actually, but just in general). Regarding your point about Trump only caring about business you have to understand that America is one big business and without it's employees it collapses. This would put a hell of a lot more people at risk of death than corona ever could. The people need to eat otherwise it will turn into a shit show. Don't be so short-sighted. As for the rest of your conspiracy -____-

That's what you'd think right judging by how little they interact with it. But they do. It's either a rat, a mouse, or something in that family. They used to have the cage in the living room by the window but they moved it into the kitchen to the left (our left) of the dinning table and I see her feed him/her but unfortunetly I never catch her playing with them.

Anybody ever actually seen Carla play with her pet. I see her feed it every once in a while but never seen her take it out and play with it or just let it run around.

Again I live in the same country as you but I guess I happen to live in a civilized part of the country and not the jungle you imagine. If this is how you are feeling or think this is how a person should feel in a civilized society you are wrong and you should move immediately or stop paying your taxes until all the security you pay for is fixed. I don't have to worry about any of those things and do not have to live my life like a guard dog. I have none of your weapons but I have 1000x times your sense of security, funny that. But again seeing as how we live in the same country and you've stated yourself " I have never had to drawn down on anyone" I think you're just really invested into this fantasy of being 'protector'. You speak of your gun as if it's your security blanket, like a toddler, sharing an irrational emotional attachment with it. Which is also why this post will probably sting a little 😉. Personally as a trained soldier, I don't hold a sense of pride at my ability to shoot to kill, instead I am sad that I even know how.

Uh oh...who is maturin?? Im going to assume you're definitely not talking about Macron because I very doubt you'd talk that confidently about a man's politics when you can't even get the first three letters of a man's name right.

He's French fyi...

I live in a civilized society not in a jungle, I don't think like this nor have I had to.

Wow that's really extreme. I have to see how they pull this off cause it seems very hard to imagine the realities right now.

I can't believe that's a description of a human being

"Now, if looters come knocking, he'll be ready" The fact that this type of thinking even enters a person's head is horrible and is only made worse by the fact that people actually act on those stupid thoughts. For some reason I just can't imagine other countries' citizens making this kind of run on a knife store. What a sad reflection on the state of American society.

But how do they know if you are lying about your reason or not? I could be outside for any reason and just lie and say I'm going to get food.

They are saying they will arrest people who are not going to the shops or dr's in some parts of Europe but how can they prove where you're planning on going?

Sounds like you've got a good handle on it, hope you make a swift recovery! Two weeks is definitely manageable, two months is a long time in isolation even with the internet.

Dow had to stop trading again. Will this be worse than 2008 or can it just bounce back?
