I go into 5 or 6 packed grocery stores a day and come into contact with a minimum of 1,000 people a day. I now have a certificate to show cops when they pull me over for being outside my home lol. Don't worry about me I'm healthy and don't fear getting the virus. Plus I just got a big pay raise and I get a daily hazard pay bonus now 😀

Where are you that the cops are pulling people over for being on the road? No state has enacted Marshall Law that I'm aware of. All they did at the company I work for is to drop the number of employees to less than 10, some are working from home and others like me come in for a short time span. Some people were actually laid off.

I can’t speak for her and where she lives but I live in CA and I know recently some cities have been pulling people over who are out and about after a certain time. It’s not marital law but it definitely varies from city to city. Also, two close friends of mine are from Hawaii (one currently lives there while the other is in CA) and they both mentioned that cops will pull people over and fine then $5,000. Like I said, I do believe this varies from city to city on how strict they are.

I'm in Texas. And yes they are pulling people over. The employees getting the latter start work anywhere between 1 and 5 am.

It is only as bad as the number of tests available and how many people are getting tested. In places where its bad there is an apocalypse like NYC. They are doing aggressive testing and finding that the virus has already spread far and wide. Where the resources have been limited and the federal govt has not been able to prioritize its business as usual. Remember not all 50 states have instituted shelter in place as well

Miss Philosopher:
Wow guys! I'm so happy to hear that most of you have not lost your job! That's excellent! I'm also happy to know that none of you have encountered this covid-19 stuff! That's beautiful!

@kdspirit: I am sorry that you were one of those that lost your job. I know you'll be able to get another one. It's just a matter of when since so much is basically shut down. Keep us posted please!

I've been doing some research about this virus thing. There's some information out there that states blood type A is more prone to getting it, which doesn't mean type A definitely WILL get it, but are just more prone. Type O is least prone, but again, doesn't mean they can't or won't get it, just less likely. I find that information interesting. I'm assuming it has to do with antigens etc within the blood.

Those with underlying health conditions, as you all already know, are also more susceptible to it. That just means gotta work on getting those immune systems up and running better!

I don't know about the numbers being shared as to how many have it so far. Information has been falsified in the past but, I feel like there's something else going on and this is being used as a cover. Yes, I'm a "conspiracy theorist" but, seems to all be coming to pass as predicted decades ago. It really does feel like living in a sci-fi movie at this point!
