Well, I ventured out to get a haircut today. The lady that cuts my hair charges $15, I gave her a twenty because she was almost in tears.
The state is shutting down her business at 5:00 today in violation of the Six Foot Rule or Social Distancing. She can't cut hair from six feet away from your head so they're closing her up. These are some crazy times we're living in.

Crap hit the ventilation system in California yesterday with a statewide shutdown. No change here in San Diego as we were already locked down, over 65 (me)supposed to stay home. We can go out to walk,run,hike, so I figured a bike ride would be ok.

Took a 14 mile roundtrip ride to my dispensary and bought a quarter.

Really don't care much now.

Whoa, 51K in 2019, in Sconny? Just what is this "regular flu"? Seems as "regular", "normal", don't mean what they used to?

Slim, not being political but Trump stated that Chloroquine was FDA approved to treat the Coronvirus. To be specifically clear.....no drug has been FDA approved nor peer reviewed to treat Covid-19. This is a dangerous statement for many hoping for a
quick cure....which I really hope there is and that this drug is the cure! Scientists will find a cure in time, I absolutely believe that cause I trust in science and the process....it just might not be in time for some.

The drug is already approved by the FDA and has been going back to the 1940's. I haven't heard it's specifically approved for the China Flu, but they are already running tests to see how it works for it. That is great news and provides a little bit of hope.

You're not being political, but Trump's statement, which was corrected by Fauci in the same press conference , and Trump said Fauci was "100 Correct" is something you called a "Dangerous Statement."

Nobody would refer to what Trump said as a "dangerous statement", unless they were trying to be political.

Try watching less CNN, MSNBC, or whatever it is you watch. lol

we are truly in trouble.... Hallmark channel is going to start showing Christmas movies again and I have seen I am Legend on twice in last 2 days, just what the gullible society needs to see while they are cooped up for who knows how long from this world ending virus.
I also have a beef to vent on...This morning they announced that part of this stimulus package could potentially be student loan forgiveness....UMMMMM....WAIT A BLANKING MINUTE.... They have mandated that depending on where you are businesses close putting tens of thousands out of work and there will be many that will be out of business and not ever reopen, not by their choice! Peoples dreams, hard work and lifetime investment...GONE! and again not by choice! we are going to send americans $1200, and small businesses are for some forced to close their doors for good, or pursue loans to stay afloat while they have little or no money coming in. And I don't know how many of non business owners know this but as a business owner you pay for unemployment insurance and you pay into a pool, and if one of your employees collect even though you and they have paid into the pool and some until now have never collected on it, the employers unemployment insurance rate goes up, but here is the best part..... the business owner can only collect 4 weeks of unemployment.... 4 WEEKS!!! and for part of this stimulus package we may forgive student loans???? I HAVE A REAL PROBLEM WITH THAT!!!! why not direct that money towards speeding up research and development of a vaccine or treatment to end or slowdown this world ending crisis. Or instead of businesses being forced to close their doors for ever or having to pursue loans to cover expenses, why don't we grant money to the small businesses that actually FUEL this economy!! Yes, I have a real problem with forgiving student loans, I think the money can go to far better use to restore or help things that actually fuel the economy, instead we just keep shutting them down and for some putting them out of business for good.

I suspect it's politics as usual. Forgiving Student Loans has been on the wish list of a certain political party for a long time. If one guy asks for money for research or small business, the guy on the other side says I want something too. It's why government programs are so bloated but it's how things get done in the swamp.

The people that get really sick and die usually have one or more of these 3 things going on. Obesity, Type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Older people usually are more prone to have these conditions. Not rocket science. Nature at work. Most of them have one foot in the grave already.

I don't know where you dreamed up your statistics. Maybe you are the source of the FAKE NEWS! Actual numbers are: 2017-2018 flu season--379 deaths in Wisconsin and over 7500 hospitalizations--2018-2019 flu season--126 deaths and 3400 hospitalized in Wisconsin.

Sorry i messed up 50-60,000 US flu related deaths in 2019. And my point still stands that the flu was just the last straw, NOT THE CAUSE OF DEATH....unless of course you is using stats to manipulate and confuse the general population.
