Coronavirus

Yes, but people don't know that they are sick.
Between the pollution in China and the spring hay fever here in the states it's hard to know that you are sick. And that's been the problem.
I got severe allergies to pollen and mold spores. I've asked myself countless times whether its allergies or coronavirus.
And the yellow dust on my vehicles tells me what it is...as well as the heavy rains and cool temperatures.
If I was in China breathing their smog filled air I'd be having issues too.

I was sort of feeling like that all last night and most of this morning. I kept getting headache after headache, and then last night I had an awful migraine that wouldn't go away until this morning after I took a Sudafed and an Advil. (Which I've heard that you're not actually supposed to do if you have the virus.)




Then this morning I didn't get up until nearly noon feeling fatigued and I was sick to my stomach basically for an hour or so,.. but now my headache's gone and I'm feeling totally fine otherwise I wouldn't be here right now, but it sure was scary nonetheless. :sad (Oh yeah and I didn't have a fever last night either so I'm pretty sure that it was just allergies and sinuses acting up. :yes)
 
Taiwan has one of the lowest C19 rates along with other eastern countries that are right next to China.

What are they doing differently?

The main thing they are doing, which the west isn't, is checking peoples temperature
These checks are done everywhere along with sanitizer for your hands
You cannot go in or out of anywhere without doing this
They point the thermometer at your forehead, if it's over 37, u go into isolation

We should be doing this as well seeing that tests C19 aren't readily available

Im going to test my temp daily and advise my loved ones to do the same
So to everyone reading this, try test your temps often

Fever is the main symptom of C19 followed by a cough and tiredness

I think the extent of the lock down is an overkill here in Oz
Isolate the elderly. Everyone else just needs to check their temp daily

yes i am well aware of where lots products come from. i am not a %100 uptodate on where each item is made. my whole point is all this can be turned around in due time.. we have the technology to do anything that other nations do . i work for briggs and stratton small engine division. we get lots of our component parts from china. imo for the most we can make most of those parts in the usa . the dept i work in cast iron flywheels . we glue a magnet and what they call a pole piece( type metal) on the flywheel and screw it down. the magnets comes from china. every thing else usa. i am not against foreign trade . i am against allowing countries to flood our markets .like the mississippi River does. when we get a overabundance of rain.. to be honest i suspect our Gov has a fingerin the pie...shocking i know.. honestly i am not anti corp but they are a machine out of control

Same. I am not against corporations. I AM against corporate abuse and corporate control of elected and non-elected government officials, be it at the local, state and federal levels.

Here is a reminder of how hard it is for the generation of today
It's never been so tough


View attachment 9564View attachment 9565


Baby boomers had it all
They lived a good life with far less financial stress than today's generation
Now they are all old and rich with multiple properties and don't have much time left on earth

In Australia where the death toll is so low is it fair for this generation (who are already facing an impossible task of owning a home) to sacrifice their future even more for a generation that is rich and almost dead anyway???

It's very unfair. All that needs to be done is for the elderly to stay home, not everyone else

Here in Hawai'i, the rich property owners have the poor in a pressure cooker. Rent is sky high as is real estate. Mobile homes are not allowed nor are travel trailers because everyone would flock to them. The rich don't want that. Rent control greatly needed here.

The earliest symptom absent a fever is loss of taste and smell or so i'm reading in Drudge.

Unfortunately, many non elderly need hospital help to get through 19. 20% of people need hospital help. The hospitals don't have that many beds.

Even if you quarantine everybody over 70, the hospitals still don't have enough capacity for everyone else, if they all catch it at about the same time.

I'm glad you are feeling better. Air filters might help with the allergies.

Thanks, but I think it was my awful headache that made me sick as I'm not really all that stuffed up nasal wise. Although my nose was running on and off for the past couple of days. It doesn't seem to be running today though. At least so far.

I said it's an overkill in Oz which is short for Australia

Im talking about Australia which has only had 21 deaths from C19.
Wide scale temperature testing of everyone is what the eastern countries have done with success..

I said the elderly should isolate, i didn't say to send them to hospital.

While Trump is looking to get things happening again soon our leader is talking about a "six month hibernation". This will cause the loss of countless businesses and jobs. Young people will have to default on mortgages sending them homeless. There will be more young people dyeing from suicide and other stress related mental illnesses like PTSD.

And we are prepared to sacrifice our young generation who have already have the biggest mountain to climb in the form of the average wage vs average house price gap.

Why? For who? The elderly baby boomers who only have a few years left to live anyway and are rich if not well off from being lucky to live in a prosperous era. They should be reasonable here and not ask this generation to take such a hit for them

The locals here are taking this seriously because the majority in the community are elderly and retired. One spied with binoculars on us probably making sure we keeping distance, this was before lockdown, and another elderly man goes down and tells anyone off for fishing saying the local are and have been watching.


It's understandable because this community would be higher risk as many are elderly. So I have to be fair. I wear gloves when I go the local store to try protect others.

My dad has dementia and we are trying to figure out what type.

Since you imply,that as a church we should just ignore the elderly deacon of 5 or 6 decades in such times ,and help the youth?

Is that Christ like ?

I lost my grandfathers to dementia.so please ,while I can joke about this with snowbirds ,and I have ,my,dads state of mental health is not good.my mom,pleas with me to call my dad.for some reason my dad thinks I live behind him,and his grandson also lives with me despite the fact he,the grandson lives with my parents .

My dad time is short ,I can call him but I won't subject them to a risk of covid
