I agree anony.
I think taking people who live piled on top of one another in apartments (NYC) and encouraging them to stay inside will eventually be proven to have been the worst of ideas.
i hope that within the next several months we will get back to some type of normalcy.
will restaurants ever get filled again?
will you ever be able to sit at a bar or go to a concert or broadway show?.

Supply disruptions seem like a definite possibility WTWIzard.
I also read that this is supposed to be a significant hurricane season which if so, could have an impact on the entire east coast of the U.S. further straining resources.

The "Spanish Flu" hit in the spring of 1918 and pretty much fizzled out in the summer of 1919. The death toll was much greater.
This was immediately followed by the Roaring 20s.
Never underestimate the human ability to fall and bounce back.
last wednesday my elder brother called me to let me know mom had died.
she was 97 years old and was in a nursing home for the last 7 years.
her mind had left her many years ago to the point she didn't recognize any of us.
Condolences to you Still Totally ADD.
Thank you for telling us about your experience in the death of your mom and also with your brother.
In taking the time to share, you are helping others to understand their place on the spectrum of our own human experiences. I'm glad you are here STA!
today, it will be 90 degrees and humid!
this morning i’ll be playing tennis again.
while most people have been holed up in their houses, i have regularly played the sport outside.
I might briefly if I was in a crowded city with a lot of active cases and riding mass transport. A subway, bus or plane.
I won't be wearing it outdoors in the air and sunshine.
We are hearing a lot about the benefits about wearing a mask but we are hearing little about the negative effects of re-breathing (what happens in a mask).
Masks are underwear for the face.
stay in period.
get deliveries of necessities so you dont go to store.
no contact except phone.
If they had said "Get out in the sun and move your body! Eat a balanced diet. Be cautious about large groups of people . Take advantage of technology (the internet, libraries on line, Audible etc) to improve your mind, learn a new hobby and so on, I would have thought they were on to something or at least taking the cream of the good advice that is to be had and regurgitating it.
But alas, no.
They, as usual, are a step behind.
our loco-needs this month was on apps, yes apps, the apps you use, that is, now catch this---"not by the governing body"!
did wt stop saying watchtower???
an app not by the governing body.
Or!
Replace the governing body with "The Capital" and you have the ruling power in the "Hunger Games"
The people of the land are already divided into districts so that part works too!
Here is a description of "The Capital":
"The Capitol is lavishly rich and technologically advanced, but the districts are in varying states of poverty."

is it me who thinks this.......jw pimi or pomi women lack natural affection toward there children, family and human's.. it must be the indoctrination that strips these emotions.
i see it in my wife all the time, when she talks with non jw people she is like "meh" i got to talk with you.. when she talks with jw people, she has a cult emotion like "yes my people" .
she is screwed in the head, the more that time goes by i want to leave her and get a divorce!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think it is still there just being suppressed by constant indoctrination.
See if you can use this down time to tempt her away from zoom......make friends for yourself by means of unrighteous riches, use chocolate! Wine! Foot rubs! Whatever works for her!
This is said partially in jest of course - although I do think that it's a good time to lure them away- that said, I do feel for you goingthruthemotions
Hi BobsGirl.
Good to see you here
i have been thinking about the legal departments that look after the wts interests around the world.i can`t believe these legal eagles offer their services on a voluntary basis like the r&f do.and i don`t believe their services would come cheap.. as an organization the size of jw.org and its offshoots of companys and interests around the world ,the cost of keeping them gainfully employed must amount to a considerable sum of money.. especially the law suits against them with child abuse court cases that arise on a regular basis ,and the government inquiry`s into the jw religion that is happening in different countries now.. all paid for by the voluntary contributions that come from the r&f for the worldwide preaching work .. contributions to pay for the wt organization`s legal department to defend themselves in court ?.
did jesus and the apostles pay lawyers to defend them in a court of law with funds donated by their supporters ?.
When we look at the legal representation they used in Australia to defend themselves it was a mixture, wasn't it?
I remember a youngish blond woman who was from a JW elite family and allowed to go to law school but she was part of a team and not on her own if I remember correctly.
