10 weeks jail for coughing on police 😯

400 euro fine if you go out with more than 2 or 3 people on the street and you're not keeping distance of 1.5 meters of anyone else. I'm trying to see all the funny in this but it's nothing but corona day in day out, it's tiring already.
 
I still think Coronavirus could easily help cost him the election.
Never lose faith in a god if you're praying to one Jess you are an amazing person. Faith in onesself, or a god is important - it just is. I realized that in a way I can't even begin to relate. Don't lose faith in that.

I'm going to accept your advice to relax more even if things are bad right now. I am sorry jess.

But I laugh. Dozens of rape/sexual assault accusers, "you can do whatever you want - grab them by the pussy", cheating on his wife YEAR ONE of their nine year marriage, FAILED billionaire, wasted TRILLIONS of dollars...

if that didn't do it for people, covid19 won't either. You're quite optimistic and missing the sheer idiocy of an American people educated by the American government.

I know that it is coming. I know it, and it makes me very depressed and hopeless. I'll try to feel OK about it. I mean, the upside is if this REALLY IS zoonotic I'll probably watch that racist sack of shit national traitor die of covid19 hooked up to a ventilator on the television. Maybe then I'll have faith in karma, or bad things *eventually* happening to bad people *who did most of the bad shit*... or whatever keeps people who have suffered so terribly in life going on to the next day. But something keeps whispering in my ear HE IS AFRAID OF DYING, THIS ISN'T FAKE BRAVADO, HE'S NOT A BRAVE PERSON HE'S A VERY SELFISH EVIL MAN IN AN OLDER PERSON'S BODY...

If you think he's putting a brave face on, no. I don't think he is. I don't think he's capable of faking emotions (have you seen how angry/irate he gets at the smallest of things?)

I wouldn't call it optimistic.

The pandemic is going to annihilate the economy. The primary thing trump has banked on for reelection.

He is also incompetent, and his "leadership" is likely to cost many lives. Particularly in the older demographic that usually leans republican.

He has flip flopped with the most brazen and transparent lies of his presidency. Telling everyone covid 19 is no big deal one week then that he always thought it was a big deal the next.

Yes his most loyal supporters will dismiss all of this and probably still vote for him. But they don't make up the majority of his base.

Then taking away the Coronavirus you have the things I already thought might finish him. That I don't see people voting for him this time who didn't vote for him last time. While I do see people voting against him this time who didn't last time. Because they believed Hillary would win, but couldn't bring themselves to vote for her. Hopefully fewer will do that this time.

And he only won by a slim margin in the first place.

He could still win. But I don't think it's remotely inevitable. One big thing is to not let the Biden v Sanders issue split the left wing vote.

Even if you hate Biden, if you hate trump more, I'd still recommend voting for Biden.

And believing that it's inevitable that he will win, and not voting because of it, is another danger. He CAN be beaten.

He might be reelected, but I'd say his chances of losing are very real.

How does the economy favor America so heavily? Internationalism, commodity price fixing and exploitation of people with less infrastructure, weapons and wealth but who have tons of commodities.

What happens when internationalism fails and Trump's re-elected? Nationalist, imperialist wars.

It is no coincidence we are fighting A WAR on covid19.

Sure. Kind of like how Sanders might really win the primary! ;)

I don't hate Biden. I just know he cannot win. Sanders is a long-shot but no one will elect Biden at this rate.
 
Hm. So this past Saturday my cold really started kicking in, and in the evening I noticed I was having some slight difficulty breathing and a low grade fever (99.1F). I didn't think anything of it and went to bed, felt slightly better the following morning despite some dizziness and nausea. I went to the doctor earlier today and started experiencing more difficulty breathing, but figured it was because I had to wear a mask they provided me for two hours and the doctor didn't notice anything abnormal after picking around with her stethoscope, and I felt okay for a while after leaving and getting home.

I took a shower a few hours ago and felt completely winded halfway through. Even after stretching and sitting up straight and whatnot since then, breathing doesn't... feel satisfying, if that makes sense? I'll take a deep breath through my mouth (using my nose doesn't seem to ah - feel as effective as usual?) and hold it in, but I'm still out of breath. My temperature was 97F in the morning but it's been hanging around 99.4F for a while.

Should... I be concerned at all? Gonna contact my doctor in the morning.
 
I would be concerned but know that unless it's life-challenging they're going to make you suffer it out on your own.

The flu can cause difficulty breathing for some people who are otherwise not old and healthy.

I don't know where you live, hopefully a better country more prepared than the US.

I'm sick at the moment too, be well and take care <3

Unfortunately I live in the US too, and I work in a retail environment in a heavily populated city... 😔 (To be fair, that's a recipe for some kinda disaster even without all this going on! Haha)

Thank you so much, you take it easy too okay? I hope you feel better soon ❤
 
i think that there is some kind of poison
in the air for some reason.

i used to think it was the sun, but then someone else that lives where it is cloudy all of the time
said something like the same thing.

the brightness from the outside light caused a migraine like or some kind of like very painful type headache.

yeah, oxygen mask please O2 alert.

ot: i hate this annoying fucking corona ball sack bi atchhhhhh. o virus.

I know what that's like. The person I was *madly in love with* does just that in a populated city. Recipe for disaster; they feel well (no knowing if they have it... time will tell...) and I fear a lot for him. Mostly because one pre-existing condition seems to have a lot of impact in some people.

It is going to be a mild illness for most people; that I can assure you. It is a nasty infection but I've had influenzas that seem more like covid than whatever this is to be honest. This is probably the bird or swine flu. Eventually they'll call coronavirus the bat flu or ... whatever. I don't care.

I'll try to take care of myself. It's hard with everything going wrong (and I do mean everything). The only reason I self-quarantine, as bad as it is for my mental health, is because I don't want to spread the disease I have (covid or really mild but super long lasting flu I don't know... shall I ever know?) to other people and their families. So it's kind of like a if I love other people I'll hurt myself now kinda thing. I'm not so selfish that my mental well being is better than people living and dying. I'm... I'm not a TRUMP! ;)

China has been spraying chemicals over their air from something I read. Now was it REAL?!, man? I don't know. I'd have to dig up a source.

I am VERY concerned for you hun if you're having migraines PLEASE get to the ER (the ONE time I had a migraine I was screaming and crying for help and wanted to die it was so painful!) and tell them you need MY ventilator! I won't be needing it, please keep living you're such a sweetie pie <3

ot: i hate this annoying fucking corona ball sack bi atchhhhhh. o virus.
Let me guess, no matter what level of pain you're in you don't qualify for a CORONA TEST?

They won't have enough kits for the corpses. "Likely corona victim" is going on death certificates.

They don't have a treatment for it, all they can do is treat the symptoms so I don't see why the testing even matters they just need to HEAL us, man! I mean, come on. Right?

Whatever we learn will be minimal in treating and testing the sickness. We'll learn more by looking at survivors (natural antibodies preferred) and the virus itself. Treating the sick and immuno-compromised isn't going to get us a lot of answers. I'm sorry but I'm pretty sure all the "testing kits" are a waste of $, really. Because if you learn you DON'T have it you still HAVE TO quarantine because IT IS THAT BAD for others, allegedly, and we're all doing the socially responsible thing.

Or TRUMP will send THE NATIONAL GUARD to WHERE YOU LIVE to MAKE YOU BEHAVE. Yeah. :|

And even if the gov't didn't make me I'd still feel compelled because I value my fellow Americans and other humans. I hate seeing people grieve. It reminds me of my own losses. I would hate to spread a virus around for 2 weeks without having any symptoms, totally unaware. That would totally fucking suck.
 
@. So it's kind of like a if I love other people I'll hurt myself now kinda thing.

what does that mean. you don't really have to explain AND or even answer.

i'm sick. i have to work.
just eight hours.
its creepy. i get through things allot.
but not allot of things hopefully.
i don't even fear the reaper just the
broken bones on the way.

sorry to all of those who dare not. please enter.
PLUR. 😮🦄🍥

i had alott of carbs today. sugar helped but
mostly my doses. 🙈

yes, s uh

Testing matters because if we tested more, a LOT more than we are. We could isolate the infected and slow down, or even kill the spread of the virus.

Unfortunately we aren't doing that, so instead the testing just gives us a probably very incorrect impression of how far long we are and how much time we have to not act in.

Being around other people -> I won't be as self-harming, angry, self-hating etc. But...
Being around other people -> I am likely non-symptomatic but spreading covid-19 to otehr non-symptomatic people, one day they go hang out with their older family or someone not older but w/ pre-existing health conditions, immuno-compromised -> I'm indirectly responsible for a death.
I'm not so selfish to "need others" to the point where I might hurt others like I'll just self-destruct. Other people are too awesome to me, the world is too cool for me to destroy it like DONALD TRUMP did by NOT CLOSING DOWN THE PORTS OF ENTRY. WHY BUILD THE BORDER WALL IF IT WASN'T TO KEEP PEOPLE OUT? BINGO: A big symbolic wall of racism and hatred. The Chinese (A NATION NOT A RACE of people) built the Great Chinese Wall (a terrible name for it). Now they slaughter anyone in China who has enough Mongolian descent to make for an ethnically pure Han people. THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA WAS NOT TO KEEP MONGOLIA OUT OF THEIR NATIONAL BORDERS BUT THE BORDERS OF WHAT A HAN AND MONGOLIAN PERSON IS.

Trump can't keep Hispanic Americans out of America. He built that wall TO KEEP WHITES AND LATINOS RACIALLY SEGREGATED/SEPARATE. It's so disgusting. It really infuriates me. (I'M SORRY)

just eight hours.

This. Broken bones are remarkably painful. I have to remember what I'm going through isn't THAT BAD.
 
Exactly. Or stay isolated.
I don't have strength or energy to
argue right now.

treat it now and then stop the virus.

not everyone has it but if someone does

WONT IT BE OBVIOUS.

isolating is good. it makes logical sense to stay away.

i think i had it a long time ago when i lived in the south bay area.
i was not able to breath or take a breath for air.
i had to stand by the hot coils of the stove to stop coughing to breath.
when i had to leave i would have to gasp for air when i tried and tried to cough it out.

i was unhealthy and stressed back then and probably my immunity was extremely weak.
and had bad self medications too !

that's why it is so important to fight, get strong and stay away from putting toxins in the metabolism .
sori.

i get sad still ☹

It's not that we aren't doing it. There are NOT enough resources for all 8 billion people on earth to keep testing for covid-19 with 10% positive, potential re-infection, ongoing mutations of the virus.

We're fucked if we think we can win the war against a virus.

We didn't learn anything from the HIV crisis.

We learned even less when reading Moby Dick.
