Good news for sure,
Do you know what drug they gave him?
this has been a horrible month.
my best friend’s wife just called to tell me that my friend had to be hospitalized due to severe coronavirus complications.
he has severe pneumonia, is put on a ventilator and is in a coma .
Good news for sure,
Do you know what drug they gave him?
this is getting thrown about a lot to me from various jdumbs.. .
also got the perfect answer as retort!
beat that you jdumb morons!.
They are missing a tremendous chance at goodwill here.
They should offer assembly halls as places for the National Gaurd or nurses to stay who are visiting to help in NYC.
Or let them be used as hospitals - the same as you know, the churches are doing????
i’m just curious to know the local attendance figures for the memorial.
my father told me they had an attendance of 140. not flattering for a cong of 100 pubs.
i was sort of surprised at this considering the quarantine measures and everyone being forced to stay at home.
They are covered either way. If its low they can say it was the unusual circumstances and then theorize about the "true" number. They will provide lots of anecdotal unprovable "experiences" sent in by publishers to back up their non-existant proof.
That will be good enough for most.
i support local and state and federal government’s power to safeguard the public.
i wonder is it getting to a point where we will be told we can’t go out anymore, can’t use your phone or computer anymore because of the viruses that we can get, etc.
are we prolonging this virus at all ?
I think when everyone first saw this virus happening they were scared and scared people are more compliant.
Now that we know a lot more about the virus and that people are getting tired of this artificial way of living - the fear is being replaced. It's being replaced by restlessness.
Pretty soon people will begin revolting against restrictions. The government isn't big enough to contain the majority of the populace in every area at once. When it gets to that point you will either see the government step back or you will see anarchy which will be far more dangerous than the virus.
Officials know this and are walking the fine edge of that balancing act right now.
My thought is at the beginning of May they will try for a controlled release of certain regions. Whether they can make it last through April in order to do that is anyone's guess.
got this week a message from a jw friend about the jw.org headquarters move to warwick.. the message shows how even rational witness (my friend is a rational businessman) share the jw emotional madness that's going arround the jw social media now.
how sad!
read for your self:.
Oh good grief. I understand the need to take precautions but they couldn't have one of their information/literature booths set up? They couldn't have a couple of young men that would "man" the booth and offer comfort to anyone who might approach "Gods true people on earth today"? Wear masks and maintain social distance?
Grocery store clerks are working - many people are stepping up to run food supply distributions being handed out. Those people are afraid too. The difference is their sense of humanity.
The leadership of the org is pathetic. Craven cowards one and all.
this has been a horrible month.

So sorry to hear this. Thank you for checking in and letting us know how your friend is doing and how you are doing. You have had a very difficult month. ((((hugs min))))
it’s cognac.
couldn’t sign-in for some reason so i created a new account.
just was wondering what’s going on with the memorial this year cause my kids father wants to have them during that time.
I 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...
like 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.
mia was almost 8 and she was the sweetest dog who was my girlfriend’s constant companion.
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.
Heartfelt sympathy to you Minimus and your girlfriend over the loss of your wonderful Mia
this 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.
