    Fresh air and sunshine are the cornerstones of good health, both physically and mentally. They are also a hostile environment for viruses seeking a foothold.

    Simply by choosing to live in a rural area with a largely self-sufficient lifestyle, being self-employed and able to control who, when and where I have contact with people negates most of the dangers inherent to people who rely on the direction and control imposed on them by their governments, their employers, their media.

    Actually, Coronavirus loves dry air and sunshine doesn’t seem to bother it much. Check out the map of where it’s spreading. Sure, you have some inherent advantages in social distancing, but that doesn’t make you bulletproof. I wish you continued good health, but as for me, if they get an effective vaccine for this thing and it’s still active when they do, I’m getting it. You can enjoy the extra herd immunity factor.

    Isnt it kind of crazy that athletes and rich people can get tested showing NO symptoms, but people who are showing a couple cant get tested... Dont take this wrong Im not saying you have it, and should go jump off a bridge or something. Just who cares if it’s the government or private sector, test people. Seriously the more data they have the better. The more they test the better because both outcomes is more data.

    Well, we had someone who thought it was a hoax for a week and a half and fired the whole pandemic squad so we're far behind the times. And he also wants data points to be artificially low to make him look better. It's a joke.

    I'm pretty sure I don't have it cause the main two (fever + SOB... lol I just recognized shortness of breath acronyms to that) I don't have thankfully. I did have chills, which was a big reason I got checked.

    We will have tests for everyone... and I think everyone should do it, because again, asymptomatic people can carry it. It's really the way we're gonna get a handle on this.

    Still pissed this didnt happen a week ago when our joke thought it was hoax.

    Dammit, caught like the rat I am.
    I could have taken that money, doubled it at the roulette table, given you guys your $50,000 to donate and gone home a happy man. Now, I'm just a bitter old man with a voodoo doll that looks like you that I stick pins in every night before I go to bed. Noticed any sharp pains lately?
