Anders AndersenI heard about a single person who asked an elder "how should I go about passing the emblems? Pass the from left hand to right hand? Or?" and the elder told them to stand up and just walk around the table on which the emblems are placed.
Not unlike a Catholic procession or a witch circle lol...
You put your right foot in, you put your right foot out and you shake it all about. You do the hokey pokey and you turn yourself around. That's what it's all about! -

Governor Cuomo - Does He Have a Flash Drive Plugged into His Head?
by RubaDub inlike the guy or not, i don't know how this guy can talk so much, giving fact after fact and analyze what is going on, not just in new york but across the country.
he's not reading from notes and there are no teleprompters.
he gives about an hour to an hour and a half at press conferences every day and fox news carries it.. i mean, as i am listening, he's saying they moved 802 ventilators from this state to that state, 412 came here to new york .... on and on.

I dont know about a flash drive but he is smooth!
Yesterday he said he was going to go jogging with his daughter and he would be getting fast enough to beat her in a run soon.
Today he said that people have got to stay indoors and quit loosening the social restrictions and that people saying they want to "get outside and get fresh air" is wrong and now is NOT the time to let up.
I watched his facial expressions carefully and he didnt even bat an eye when he said it. Very smooth.

she had a wonderful disposition and was just a source of joy to everyone who would meet her.. she was brought to the vet on thursday and seemed to have digestive issues.
the vet gave her medicine and said it would make her sleepy.

Covid-19 (Coronavirus) - Status Update Thread
by Simon inthis topic is to focus on status updates & advice (no opinion or politics please).. status.
latest status is that it's serious, probably isn't going to be contained and most large companies are making contingency plans, cancelling large events etc... which i don't think would happen if it was just people being alarmist.
the incubation period means it may have already spread further and infected many more people than are currently known, so expect jumps in the numbers over the coming days and weeks.. tracking.

I don't think things will break down that quickly. We have Italy who has tragically gone before us and we see that food supplies remained constant and people were sad and stressed but relatively calm.
I see a lot of good happening daily in the face of what is clearly a scary time for all.

(((Hugs))) Caves!
This is a challenging time for everyone, you are not alone. Your going out into the "wild" so to speak to make a plan is a very primal response and nothing to be ashamed of.
I myself have decided to limit my intake of the news because it's not helping me. If it doesn't serve you - eliminate it.
I check a few updates like our Covid thread here and let it go at that. The media is loving the action and excitement even though I am sure as individuals they are worried also.
For the media, this Covid thing is like when a hurricane is coming. If you are a Florida TV weatherman.....its your Oscar moment!
Better to not feed my mind that junk food I think

I would go further back but one question....can I take my antibiotics with me?
If so, I would have loved to live on a ranch out west after the threat of being scalped was over - around the turn of the century.

The CDC estimates influenza deaths in the U.S. this season (October 2019 - March 2020) at 24,000 to 62,000.
I think I know where you're going with this on a Covid-19 thread, but I hope I'm wrong.
I agree. The argument of how this is similar to (or needs to be handled as) the flu is an old one (if you can consider week 4 or so of an argument during a pandemic "old").
The true measure is not the death rate only. The contagion rate is a factor. The flu is like being chased by your grandma - Covid is like being chased by a Doberman.

The org is a perfect example of a non essential business that needs to shut down.

WT, and more contact, Do you think it is Narc Hoovering?
by Wakanda inthe behavior from the org lately had me a bit confused, as it seemed to fall outside of their norm.
i'm not talking the hardcore armageddon wishers texting each other about peace and security, etc.
* but, the elders contacting people daily, and having extra meetings where they have all their additional rules.
