Hubby and I are both high risk and due to retire in the fall. This is not how we imagined or wanted to spend our time. Am I being selfish for feeling this way? Maybe but I don't care.

These people that have no regard for other people are more selfish than I am OVER IT.

Great Job Florida for setting a record you had no business setting.
@Miss Pepsi I agree. I’m angry, too.

I was discussing the situation with a co-worker yesterday and she was so concerned and upset that she started to cry - she said she promised herself she wouldn’t do that.

She said that when she mentioned her concerns to HR, she was met with a blank stare as if she was nuts for suggesting we require masks at work, keep the office locked and allow employees only, go back to as many working from home as possible.

And that is just the work situation! People seem to think they can’t get the virus if they even believe it exists. The mindset is one I can’t comprehend.
The masks don't work! Read the box they come in. Soooooo many sources are telling healthy people not to wear one, and with those that do, they touch the mask constantly. They also don't change them often enough. If you're sick, then you wear one, but even ABC had a doctor on that says the only mask that can do anything is an N95, and they have to be specially fitted to your face. She said it took three fittings for hers.

You make so many statements and refuse to cite the sources. Why?

@mom2four0418

Yeah, sources and "real doctors", none of which/whom are ever named.

@Blahblahvampemer will return in another couple weeks when she/he thinks everyone forgot she/he never answered the request.

She/he will just give us more bogus b.s.

Florida hit 9,500 cases today!! Friends in So. FL are saying there are lots of underage children with COVID 19 in the hospitals. They are also saying that they may not have enough beds, staff, PPE, or ventilators, but all the hospitals have plenty of refrigerator trucks.

Not necessarily so! From today's Miami Herald....

"Florida’s 11th COVID-only nursing facility was opened near Miami International Airport on Wednesday, providing a safety valve for local hospitals that are seeing a surge in patients with the infection.

The former Miami Medical Center, which is owned by Nicklaus Children’s Hospital and had been shuttered since October 2017, will serve up to 150 patients and accept transfers of COVID-positive patients from any long-term care facility and hospitals, the Agency for Health Care Administration said."

Miami-Dade has many elderly and one has to test negative 2 times before they can be returned to their facility. This accounts for many "hospitalized" patients in the area.

3 children in Florida have died with Covid related diseases. Most have mild or no symptoms.

Firefly901 · ‎08-18-2011

They are reporting 11,458 new cases today!!! That is a big jump. The community spread there must be greater than we thought. In looking at the behavior of the virus in New York, it moved quickly to a very high peak and stayed there for a while. It was very slow to come down. They still have to get thru today and the holiday, and deal with the subsequent impacts of 4th of July activities, so they are still rising. Seems to me that a shutdown is inevitable. There is no other way to control it.

I'm beginning to think we will never get out of this due to the stupidity and indifference of a section of the population. They talk about their "rights". What about MY rights to see my children and hug my grandchildren.

If these moronic people burning masks don't care about their fellow citizens maybe we can appeal to the monetary side. We will never recover economically if we don't listen to the Drs. and keep listening to politicians who know less than zero about this.

Florida saw 11,458 new cases, with 18 new deaths and 244 hospitalizations.

Those numbers came from 65,271 tests.

This has been the average for several days now!

That means that an average of over 9,000 per day for over a week now, are still out, running around or working, with mild or NO symptoms! That is over 90, people! 90 thousand people that have Covid-19 with no symptoms!

Wear your mask! Better safe than sorry!

@Firefly901

And, testing is up but so are the number of positives and hospitalizations. Deaths are trending upward, too.

Many towns and counties have just ordered masks to be mandatory in public but it will be a few weeks before we see if people are complying, and if it helps or if it is just too late. Maybe someone can chop Florida off at the state line and sink it.

@willdob3I know you didn't really mean this bit about sinking Florida, but I still don't like this joke. I have extended family there. They don't deserve what is happening to their state and don't support any of the ridiculousness. There are lots of older people there who can't leave their homes right now because of what is going on. It's a like horror show in slow motion. And no one is protecting them.

Edited to add: I didn't realize you were a Floridian. I'm sorry I'm not great at keeping those things straight. You have every right to joke about your own state any way you like.

When you’re accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.
