Then what do we do?

Go to grocery stores. PA closed the state-run liquor stores but grocery stores are still selling beer and wine.

Try that on for size.
I'm a realist who's been through the worst and happy to wake up every day and be here.

So while people are getting sick from the Covid-19 virus, all you have time for is to complain about the media and how it is reporting on the Pandemic. And while the death toll rises exponentially each passing day, your main complaint is that we are "being told what to think", when it's very obvious that there are a host of sources of "good" information out there, all you need to do is look for them. I'm sure your county or State Health Departments have websites full of just the information you say isn't being shared by the "Main Stream Media" outlets. Hopefully your own organization is providing you with the proper guidance on how to keep yourself (and your co-workers) safe during this emergency. The last thing the citizens of your community need is a First Responder who makes things worse. Do you really think it isn't necessary to wear ALL your PPE when interacting with a patient who might possibly transmit the Covid-19 virus to you and others? Is that protocol? And I sure don't need "scare tactics" to tell me that we have a problem here, and can see that what is still going on in Europe will happen here without some major changes to our society. We just need to filter out the "noise".



So as far as I'm being told, by competent authority, I'm in the "High Risk" demographic, so you can friggin' bet that I'm taking this seriously. We're already far enough behind the curve that more people are going to suffer than needed to, but we can worry about that when this is over and we are well again. Testing seems to be ramping up, so we may get a handle on how this virus is spreading, and HOW, so we can target our resources properly. Every day is a new challenge, isn't it?

Hope you and you colleagues remain safe though this, because without you, and others like you, more folks will likely be in peril.

Thanks for the kind words Lew. I was traveling to Rockinghm, N.C. this morning where I have kids living. I heard the latest update over the Radio that said 100 confirmed deaths in the USA. 52 states less than one per state by may redneck math. Maybe this was bogus info but I don't believe any media outlet and who knows what if they broadcast is a lie.. But I ask for comparison, how many men were shot by jealous husbands, people died in auto crashes, or people died from cardiac arrest or cancer in the USA in the past 24 hours as compared to Corona deaths? I don't mean to sound like I'm taking this scare lightly but when you have wolf cried as many times as I have over the past 40 years it begins to have little effect. I heard something interesting today. Many of us that suffered from upper respiratory issues and a productive cough a couple of months ago and tested negative for the Flu may have had Corona, it didn't just show up 2 or so weeks go. My 83 year old Mother that is wheel chair bound and still has a good mind told me the other day that she has no doubt that she and I had Corona at the first of the year. We were both rattling and coughing a little phlegm but felt great. Her predictions are usually more accurate than anything the Government or media supplies us with. Time will tell the effects as well as the outcome. If I get sick I will promise you I will be the first to post that I was a stupid Idiot that ignored the media and walked around licking hand rails and wouldn't wear a HEPA mask. IMHO this scare will pass and those predicting doom will have a bright red face and should have to account for the scare they caused.

Lew, you have a PM.

The media has done a horrible job in giving information on the Corona virus. Yes it can be devastating I am very concerned for those that it can affect. Instead of giving concise important information we can apply to our individual age/ situation they make it sound everyone on the face of the planet is going to be on a respirator if you get it. Nothing further than the truth... Let’s go for the ratings since it’s the only semi fake news they seem to have.
We have influenza viruses floating around as we speak that are more deadly and not a word about them. There was no reason for shutting down the world for this particular situation. If they shut businesses down for this what about the next flu virus???
I busted my *** to save up and retire now I lost over 150k from my 401k. It will come back but hopefully in time for me.
I’m 71 years old and like everyone else don’t want to get sick and die, I have a lot of racing I want to do yet....

If you really been listening to real media you would have heard that there is no vaccine developed. What may be developed will take a year to make it publicly available. If our public health workers are impacted by the virus there will be fewer healthcare people to help the mounting sick.

A smart leader would not have terminated the very agency that handles Pandemics. Or ignore the facts coming from other counties that were warning us about the impending danger. There are several other agencies that have responsibility to support crisis like this are not getting any direction or orders to proceed.

So instead of giving direction...corporations are going to get a bailout of our Socialist money because they were too cheap to invest in their own companies.

Now instead of talking about a recession there is a real possibility of a depression. Already there are companies preparing to declare bankruptcy. Massive layoff that will make the near Bush depression look mild.

Too bad if the media is inconveniencing your life to save others.

Are you really this dense?
Again, cut the liberal talking points.
That's all I will say, otherwise this thread will get deleted. Not fair to the thread's author.

Dan,
This virus has been here. I spoke to an immunization Dr. and it’s been floating around for over a year so Benchracers mom probably did have it. This is a changed version of it.
How come worse situations did not create the mess this has caused? I’m just saying it didn’t have to be this way.
People have to pay their bills but can’t go to work. Most people seem to live paycheck to paycheck. This mess has created a bailout situation, should we just let everything go down to tubes. Believe me I’m not in favor of bailouts but I guess that’s what is going to happen.
