What country did it originate?
And what country lied about it and then didn’t allow the rest of the world to prepare for it, thus causing this current shite situation we’re currently in?

China!

My wife’s grandmother went to Costco last week just to see how many people were there and how long the lines were. It was her third trip there in two days


My husband's parents are 90, so he started shopping for them about two weeks ago. His Mom shopped for groceries EVERY day- a little at a time, to have something to do.

She expected my husband to do the same. He told her once a week or nothing at all.

All those little old ladies need to be careful. This stuff may kill them.

I take care of mine, who are 89 and 84. They both rode with me to pick up groceries from Walmart's curbside pickup. Nobody got out of the car. We couldn't believe how many cars were in the Walmart parking lot. It didn't look any different than it normally does. My dad stayed home the second time we went. He's been working in the yard a lot and taking walks. He hasn't been anywhere since the one trip to the curbside pickup.

I'm more worried about the virus being transferred from the restaurant employee that touches everyone's credit card when I pick up food, or even our prescriptions. Really anywhere where they have to touch everyone's credit card. I'm wiping mine with a Clorox wipe before I put it back in my wallet. I'm no where near as worried about eating the food.

I'm still in quarantine but doing better just waiting for this cough and post-nasal drip to go away so I'm cleared for takeoff!


Good to here you are doing better.

What treatment/medicines did they put you on that actually helped after the urgent care dr initially treated you incorrectly with flu meds & prednisone making you worse, then taking awhile for someone to actual test your for corona, & then getting pneumonia?

please guys stay at home. I really don’t want to give this shite to my wife or kids.
Everyone who would get it is going to get it eventually regardless of any stay at home orders. Accept that now. Flattening the curve doesn’t stop you from getting it or spreading it. It simply slows it down so that we don’t all get it at once and stress healthcare systems.

Let’s just call it the communist virus as a compromise.

Just meant both terms used by uneducated, ignorant people.


In my experience colored folks is usually used by liberal minded people of extremely advanced age.

Did the virus not come from China, thereby rendering the connotation uneducated? No? Well, then reserve your high-minded, low-effort virtue signaling for talks with your cat.

It's okay for us to use Spain, Zaire and a German town as disease labels, but China is off limits? What great humanitarian act have they performed to warrant such an exception?

I just think you need to be able to find ways to look down on others. Virus originated in China, covered up in China, and allowed to be exported from China to the world and like everything made there and imported is stamped with Made in China.

Maybe you label Americans with Chinese heritage as Chinese instead of Americans, but most who use this term use no differently using it with following: Chinese companies, Chinese cities, Chinese exports, pro-Chinese lobby, Chinese censorship, Chinese textiles, Chinese government, Chinese IP theft, Chinese Ministers, Chinese Empires, Chinese Civil War, Chinese inventions like gunpowder, ... Things of, related to, or originating from the country of China.
