to be honest, I watch all the stores around me right now being "forced" to close so people can "stay-at-home". For a whole month. That's 1/12th of an entire years business receipt if you are a business, salary if you are an employee. If the employer pays you during this time, will they still be around and viable when this is all over? If they don't pay you, how will you manage to get by? Lives may be ruined, destroyed, maybe even lost. Will one month even be enough? Will infections start up again after the @home quarantine is over?
I can't begin to express the amount of disdain and contempt and anger I feel right now towards the country where this all originated from. I won't name names, but we all know where it came from even if they do want to push fantastic alternate theories of the origins which nobody believes because we all know where it came from. The same place where the Asian flu and Hong Kong flu which left 3 million deaths worldwide. Then there's SARS and bird flu, pig flu, heck the place is a dang exotic pathogen incubator. I really really want to start cussing but that's inconsistent with my nature so I'll refrain before I get banned. Only Floyd somehow seems to gets away with all the swearing haha.
Anyway, most international issues, I couldn't care less. But this hits home. Hurts my family and friends and neighbors. These are things that if I make it through, I won't soon forget. I hope the world (especially us) pays attention and becomes less dependent on this country, less they pull the plug on the pharmaceuticals they make 90% of in order to plunge America into "the mighty sea of coronavirus." Yes, "they" actually said these words, fighting words if you ask me, and as I said, not something we will soon forget.
