I was as "distancer" before distancing was cool

How do you know you cannot get covid19 a second time? This is a new virus and nothing is known about it. Everyone should be self isolating except for necessary trips to obtain food or medications. Please stop spreading unsubstantiated information

Kill the Virus this way
 

RJV Rule for Pools- Open at 50% capacity. 2 hour shifts of people. Chlorine/water bottle spray scattered around all tables and chairs. No one within 6 ft of another or asked to leave by attendants. Chlorine water and sun kills the virus. Let's go Villages Pools. Open so we can exercise and get some sun.

All should Send this to disrictgov.org in comments

Virus
 

Where did you get the info that sun and chlorine kill the virus?

While the CDC sees no/little danger of transmission through properly treated pool/spa water, the danger exists because people won’t adhere to maintain proper separation. Your plan now requires an attendant at every pool every day, open to close. How do they protect themselves in the normal execution of that job, and, likely, having to try to force someone to either not enter or leave the pool when it’s time? Suppose someone or a group just refuses to get out of the water? In my experience, a likely occurrence.

Can’t we just ride this out? We’re starting to sound like kindergartners when the playground is closed.

Interesting theory but I don’t believe TV uses chlorine but rather something else. I don’t think I’ve ever smelled that distinctive chlorine smell here.

Good quote!

I am amazed at the number of posters offering advice about isolating, keeping their distance, observing the CDC advice, etc. and then on the next thread complainig how long they have to queue to pick up a take away.
You are either in the programme or not!

I don’t think the pools use chlorine, I believe it is salt. Although I may be wrong.

The Chinese have been wearing masks for years. This is nothing new for them. They will always wear masks when out in public. I think it is because they have poor air quality.

I heard that the Lighthouse Restuarant has an outside bar and a band playing around sunset. Lots activity and lots of people. Just ridiculous !

:icon_wink: Is that true in your country too...... or don't you have a TalkOfTheVirus :oops:

I got a grocery delivery today. The driver wanted me to sign for it on her phone. Nope.

Yeah, but I don't want some of these idiots causing me to be selected.

Everthing shut here.
Footpads and outlaws roam the streets at will.
Tumbrils are on the streets clearing bodies, as we put our dead out at night for collection.
Our doctors are charging the earth to bleed patients, although the wealthy can still get access to leaches.
Goat manure poltices are completely out of stock.
We are living on grass and nettle soup, with the odd rat thrown in if you are lucky enough to catch one.
Our backsides are filthy,as we are eating the grass we usually use to wipe them.
Our Government has decided to invade France, but as we have no navy anymore, having a problem getting troops across, as the Ferries are on strike.
If we cannot get the troops to France soon, we will go for plan B. and have a civil war instead.
A good war always takes your mind of plagues.
Apart from those odd inconveniences, all is normal here!
Stay well.

PS. No comms. as all the pigeons have been eaten

Stay calm and carry on.

Good-One :thumbup:

According to statistics, very few people under the age of 60 have died from this virus. They get it and in most cases it is a minor inconvenience. Those of us over 60 need to take extra precautions.

In this case, the 20% represent a real danger to the other 80%.

In supermarkets in the Villages, many (if not most) cashiers and bag clerks (the profanity filter ***s out "b.a.g.g.e.r) are over 60.

We /are/ concerned, but we don't let our concern become an obsession. We have a job to do, which is to provide excellent customer service, as safely as practical given the nature of the job.

Working at a supermarket is stressful these days, but there's still room and opportunity to enjoy the job. Especially when you have awesome customers. And our customers have been pretty awesome through all this.

Hats off to the supermarket workers, for sure :ho: That's got to be a very stressfull job not to mention risky in this situation

Under 60
 

The Governor of Maryland said that 46% of the hospitalizations from coronavirus are people under 60. He said this past week half were in their 20s, 30s and 40s. Everybody is at risk. Deaths are still primarily over 60, so far.

Maybe this will convince Publix to have self-check.

He's not the problem
 

The man is trying to abide by the rules that the experts suggest. You use the word paranoid for someone that is trying to keep himself and others safe. If you believe that the six-foot rule and social distancing are being paranoid then it may be you that is more of a problem than him.
I found his post to be much more helpful than yours frankly.

Yep! Stupid is as stupid does! Stay safe 🦠😷

Love my home delivery. Did it long before this pandemic. Winn-Dixie (don’t bother), Wal-Mart can be iffy, Publix with InstantCart has been our go-to. Your mileage may vary. 🦠😷

🥰
 

Love you, Gracie. Always the voice of reason! 🦠😷

It was about the same at Publix the other day. I was getting some corn on the cob and a woman walked up, all in a hurry for whatever reason, and actually hit me in the shoulder. I just looked at her and said "you don't have a tv or radio??? Social distancing?" She looked at me like I was from another planet! People don't get it and don't care.... just wait if this place explodes with cases and deaths. They MIGHT wake up... doubt it!

😆
 

OMG...you nailed it! What a great response to that troll!!! Laughing so hard, you made my day! Thanks and stay safe 😷😷

Calm down man. You worry too much.

Being from Maryland, and knowing the political nature of Gov. Hogan, I challenge you to provide us with a citation to support that statement.

Looking here one might understand, with Hogan's comorbidity, how he might be concerned.

One thing that concerns me - is couples who go shopping together, or families that go together. This is really not the time to experience togetherness in a supermarket. I get that the kids need to get out of the house. I totally get it. I also totally get that your wife, or husband, or sister, brother, needs to be able to enjoy your company outside the confines of your four walls, in a social situation.

But you really all need to stop doing it at stores, for now. There are already more people shopping than usual at supermarkets because frankly, there's no other place to go. Take turns. Write up lists, with alternatives. Bring your cell phones and don't be shy about using them to call your significant other and tell him "they don't have the baked ham, can you tolerate the boiled just this once dear?"

You don't need an entire family of four to go grocery shopping. Heck the other stores ARE closed in the strip mall, why not have the other three go for a walk, while one of you is inside doing the actual shopping? You can meet back at the car. That way everyone gets out of the house, is able to maintain a safe distance from other people while still enjoying the existence of those other people.
