I think I am going to start limiting my news viewing. It’s all really starting to affect my mental health. I have anxiety disorder and it’s thru the room. I’m letting the panic get to me because all the people in my community are posting pictures of empty store shelves. NOW I think I need more food! What if they freeze bank accounts? I’m just driving myself crazy. Not about the illness, but about people’s panic.

Just a note to those who might want to make the discussion political: Don’t be part of the problem. Coronavirus doesn’t discriminate, doesn’t care who you voted for. The only thing it cares about is reproducing. Anyone will do.

So you actually took two bottles of vintage wine that you had won and dumped them on the shelves in your local store? That may well be the first time in history that somebody has reverse shoplifted!

I work with 30-40 colleagues everyday and 20 of us service closely about 5-10 client s a day…it’s a huge salon… business hasn’t gone downn tbh.it’s hysteria… apparently they would have to close the schools for 4MONTHS for it to even be worth closing schools…and the economy would completely collapse because of working mums and dads…my kids have dermatitis from washing hands so much in school, apparently healthy kids would only get mild symptoms,I do not like the way they call kids carriers of infections…and that young kids get the blame for spreading germs… nonsense…vitamin c , lemons,…it’s the fear mongering that has pissed me off…look at the power of control over the world…I think they are just trying to get the stats of sheep followers and try to vaccinate the whole world with lab made viruses like they did already with China and watch for the strongest to survive.

I don’t know about exactly in what sense you are meaning about children being carriers or spreaders of infections but young children do actually pass on germs to eachother moreso than adults as through their curiosity they touch everything and kiss and hug eachother constantly. Nurseries and primary schools are breeding grounds for germs. I know that probably nine times out of ten when I hug my young niece I tend to end up with a new cold or bug.
Worried. Since we are all witnessing what is happening in Italy (probably caused by the “undisciplined” part of the population), we can all agree that social distancing is, at least for now, the most important measure.
So, we’re planning on staying home - our Government decided to close schools etc. for the next two weeks at least, forbid public gatherings. I’ll go for a walk with my son (by the sea or somewhere where’s not crowded), we’ll spend some time gardening and hope for tje best.

So I’m supposed to be in Montreal getting on a flight to Miami. Instead I’m in my bedroom. Hanging with my kiddos. One is TikToking, the other is talking my ear off. Schools have been closed for three weeks and I’m still waiting to hear about work.
This is going to funnnnnnn!!!

All Washington State schools have been closed until April 24th.
Awe. That’s crap to be waiting for a cool event and it stopped on you. My daughter picked up her formal dress (prom dress) on the day it was cancelled… supposed to be next week.

Pants we were too slow ordering it… And soap works better. Bootz I am so glad that I don’t have to look at drink all day… It might be ok… but on the wrong day it could be an accident waiting to happen. Here in Ireland all alcoholic drinks must be kept in a dedicated area. Usually very visible but at least you can walk past an entrance to it.

A chemists selling alcohol just seems completely wrong to me, aren’t they there to sell us things that benefit our health? How booze fits in to that I don’t know! Smh

I am sure there are people in the area dusting off their potín stills to make hand sanitizer.

CA schools are being closed depending on the district. My kid’s school was just closed until mid April 
I don’t know what I’m going to do.

I can see the thinking behind it. We’re used to restricting supply of medication that has potential of abuse… but I still think it makes more sense to have its own shop.
