This thread is for those who are concerned.

If you believe the virus is fake news please start your own thread

So many seeming  not to take this pandemic seriously....so sad.  An ugly reality predicted

Drastic action needs to be taken...sadly nothing is being done.

 First Memorial Day crowds.... then protesters not wearing masks or distancing....then going out into the public infecting others.  Two weeks from now it will be TERRIBLE.... and all the stores opening up.... and those important casinos.....

stay home as much as possible to stay well....  ...wear a mask when out (SO IMPORTANT)...practice social distancing...  Do not become a victim

NO vaccine until possibly NEXT SPRING .... now predicted.

I don't believe the pandemic is fake news but clearly, as of right now, many of these predictions have not played out.  And that is a very good thing.

The director of the Ohio Department of health had some very staggering death predictions based on models that didn't even come close to being the case.  She was predicting daily death totals that we haven't reached over the 5 month period.Thank goodness.  

I also saw the story this morning about the 2 hair stylists who possibly exposed 140 people as they worked while having Covid-19. Turns out none of the 140 people they came in contact with became ill.  You have to wonder if that is due to all parties wearing a mask.

@SeaMaiden @I want to:go to Canada for a break from all of this.The place I vacation every year not far from my hometown has no cases of virus.I wish the border wasn't closed.I hear they are going to extend the closure too.

My doctor has recommended that I stay at home as much as possible until next year.  I plan on complying.  For me, this is just facing the reality of my age and health complications.

I'm behind you on this.  I dread seeing what the next month brings.

Found out last night two young cashiers tested positive at my niece's place of work (car dealership/repair).  Fortunately she works in another building and the owner is having everyone tested, but what about customers?

Think I'll stay put a little longer.

@Sea Maiden. I'm not upset in the least and nothing in my post indicated I am.
I just wonder about someone who seems to enjoy posting such a steady stream of bad news. The pandemic is certainly bad but not nearly as bad as originally predicted thankfully.

May you have a happy and cheerful day, if you can. 🌞

@Pearlee, As much as I am very fond of you, I hope you will rethink/reframe your response.

The “gloom and doom” is not information about this virus.

Rather, is is the virus itself.

The death toll is now 113,000 souls.

The rate of those afflicted and those hospitalized is up in some states.  I do invite you to watch multiple news outlets to verify this information.  Both Dr. Birx and Dr. Fauci are expressing great concern.  

Even if you think you are safe, your loved ones will be safe, I would trust you seek the safety of all people in America.  I sure do.

Check out Connecticut, my tiny state.  Over 4,000 souls have already died here.  My DD contracted it, and she fortunately recovered at home.  My DH knows a man who was hospitalized for 4 weeks, went to a nursing home for weeks, and is finally recovering at home.  The obituaries in our state’s largest paper covered an entire thicker inner section of the paper.  Beyond belief.

I get you are sick of this.  I am sick of this, too.  But wishing will not make this go away.  

Please, I ask those who don’t believe this is a threat to Start Your Own Thread.  Please respect this request.

Yeah, and didn't they also "predict" that 300,000 would be dead by now?

It's hard to put much stock in their "predictions" when they have been wrong so many times before.

Wasn't it just a few days ago that the WHO said that asymptomatic people can't infect and make healthy people sick?

Now it's "predicted" that " hundreds of thousands " of people will die by the end of summer?

If it wasn't so sad, I would laugh at the constant flip-flopping.

Just more of them trying to control people with fear, and to incite more panic and hysteria.

Feh!
