Here’s what one of my sisters emailed me while trying to do shopping for me:

“Emptiness

This is the super Walmart I always shop at. Almost nothing in the freezer sections, isles long. Trader Joe’s all their meats and freezer section completely empty.
Never in my life have I seen anything like this.“ 😳😟

For what it's worth, my local grocery is holding its own....And a new study revealed the anti-viral medication chloroquine is successful in fighting the coronavirus.

Dr.  Gregory Rigano said their study found that those COVID-19 patients who took hydroxy-chloroquine were found free of the disease in 6 days.  The patients were testing negative for the coronavirus in six days.

Dr. Rigano also said taking choroquine could act as a preventative.

"19 is a mystical number that appears regularly throughout the works of Stephen King, particularly the Dark Tower series."

Nineteen , as a single unit , equals in Obri  / Hebrew , "Manifestation"...

Yet , spelled out , in English , equals 236 ;

Symbols = 236

An eerie coincidence?

( not to be confused with an Eerie coincidence ... )
 



Americans are very likely to get $1,000 (or more) checks. Here’s what you need to know.

Americans could get a check for $1,000 or more in the coming weeks, as political leaders coalesce around a dramatic plan to try to prevent a worse recession and protect people from going bankrupt.

The idea took off Monday when Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) called for every American adult to receive a $1,000 check “immediately” to help tide people over until other government aid can arrive. By Tuesday, there was bipartisan support for the idea, including from President Trump. The White House even suggested the amount could be over $1,000, an acknowledgment of how big the economic crisis is becoming.

Unfortunately, this won't be of any aid to the homeless who also have no health insurance. 😔

There is already internet talk about action to be taken ,
if they do not include those of us in that position...

I myself , am in a home , as a roommate...

I get SSI , and limited food stamps...

Yet , if they give out money to those even
less need than many of us , in my position ,
or worse , they will be asking for serious trouble...

$940.00 a month , and $180.00 maximum a month
in food assistance , does not make it...reality check here...

So , they need to find a way to fund those who ***truly***
need that help , not just those that are able to get by...

Many parents aren't worried because they've read that children are basically immune.  What they don't understand is that while they may be immune to symptoms, that doesn't mean they are immune to contracting the virus, and thus transmitting it to other, more susceptible members of society, like the elderly or immunocompromised.  

I shiver to think of the germs on that ball!  

Sartoris, I apologize for overlooking your post;  I was a bull in a china shop after watching that video from Italy.  Take care out there.

You too, Layla. And thank you for quoting him.  


Only saw your reply just before work (....) so this is the first chance I've had to respond; no apologies are necessary. Believe me, I wish things were arranged over here so that everyone would stay home for a time. Too many panic variables, apart from the disease, in people's minds here (food, employment, utilities, etc.)

Silver linings: how to stay positive during the coronavirus crisis

These stories are designed to offer practical advice, provide some entertainment, foster a sense of social cohesion, and remind people of the good in the world during these strange and isolating times.

With all the tragic things that are happening in the world as a result of the coronavirus, now might seem like an unusual time to talk about being positive. Yet staying positive is a core ingredient in the recipe of successful coping in a crisis.

Virtue and Yearning    

(cant spell Virus W/O Virtue)

without notice
we find ourselves  
meandering,
pinned amid skeins
of firmament unfamiliar

conditioned Creatures
collectively keeping cool

focused upon navigation
through unexpected textures
Invisibly coating  
well-traveled
material constructs

odd germs  
of emotion
permeate formless membrane
guarding the perpetual flux
of Our Spiritual minds

Suddenly
Virtue Itself is challenged  

exotic strains
flaunt complexity and nuance
forming noxious fogs
over
strangely morphing environments
causing
frightening immediacy

exacerbated,
quite frankly,

by ages of decisions
haphazardly made

how dare those eons
of poor decisions
and
their tortuously variated parade
of flawed decision-makers
pave a Social road  
full of convolution and obstacle
seemingly cutting the ribbon
of its completion

Here
and  
Now:

Our Simple Time
of  
Human Yearning

Amazon suspends all warehouse shipments except medical supplies and ‘high-demand’ products

Amazon has temporarily suspended the shipment of all items from independent merchants to its warehouses that are not medical supplies or “high-demand” products.

This temporary suspension will go through 5 April as the e-commerce giant prioritises products relating to combating the growing coronavirus pandemic.

A just-recent study (still not peer-reviewed & thus not fully verified of its conclusions)  throws light on the possible Blood Group Type & COVID 19 Susceptibility . Could be taken as an added statistics & nothing to panic here!
