I don't understand what is wrong with people that they cannot just.stay.home.

I would be perfectly happy staying home, unfortunately, I have to go to work and so does DH. We go to work, we go to the grocery store (had to break DH from going several times per week). That's it.

I don't want it, and if I were to get it, I wouldn't want to take a chance on giving it to people. I would not want to kill anyone.

Just unfollow the twit, or better yet dump social media all together.  I have been largely off the grid of social media for months now and emotionally and physically I feel better.  I'm not hunched over scrolling through other people's narcissism and opinions.   

Sooooo we have a shortage on tests... And she thinks SHE should get 2?!? The he!!?

She's a mess.

notwithstanding, we all have to act like we have it.

A friend of mine has all the symptoms, but has tested negative. And her dr told her there are at least 20 or more patients at that hospital that have it but tested negative.

If she has flu symptoms testing negative means NOTHING.

UGH.

Wow, that was annoying. I quit facebook years ago. I just could not handle it anymore and I do not regret it. 

FLOPPY EARS.... ((((HUGS)))))) I am so sorry you tested positive. PLEASE get well soon!!!!

OP--I am stuck that she is / was at a beach rental???? for the rest of the month? and has the guts to post that??

Shows she has no filter, is slightly tone deaf and lacks empanthy for what others may be going thru, perhaps even amongst her own friends.

Block her---she may not even notice because she is so self centered. THEN when she relizes your gone she will be soooooooooooooo surprised.

(((SORRY))))

She's an attention whoring twat.

Either unfriend or unfollow her. Take the trash OUT.

Block her, she is just attention seeking.  

I live in very rural upstate NY. My county currently has 19 positive cases, 1 death and 247 PUI's. We have no hospital in this county. We are severely under tested. All areas including my county have issued stay away notices to people fleeing to summer homes from the city and asking if they cannot do that, the self isolate for 14 days. 
 

I have been in my house since March 16th. I went to give blood 1x the following Friday. Strict measures were taken to ensure safety. 
 

I just got done reading an article in the local paper about a family of 5, who drove from Arizona to here arriving 4/2. Well after the stay at home order. 
 

their reasons? 
1. they live in a "highly populated area" of 40 people in a CUL DE SAC. (Sorry no-if you live in a cul de sac you have a lot more room than my friends in the Brooklyn, WITH children who are confined to apartments, condos and have absolutely 0 chance at at lawn) 
2. they have a daughter diagnosed with down's who has ha 8 surgeries and been on life support (so let's trot her across the apocalypse, hold her up in a car, on our way to the EPICENTER of the entire US, to a county with no hospital, and god forbid something happen to that poor child, who is already compromised by her mother's own report has been on life support before, so she can go to the 1 hospital in the next county over that has been stripped of PPE for the city, where she will most assuredly have a higher risk of being exposed to COVID even under the best of circumstances-yeah cool lets do that?) 

3. her 4 year old doesn't understand why he can't go to the playground or touch things. (Newsflash! That's ALL young children and if we all took that approach then humanity would be screwed) 

4. They needed their grandparents (again see number 3) 

5. this is her "home" (she moved in 2007. It's your hometown. It's not your "home" anymore despite widespread advice to stay put). 
 

then to make things better she said "I don't care about a few negative comments" 

im so pissed at selfish people like this. We do agree on one thing-this lady and her hubby certainly "done care." 

I have a child with a disability and a 4 year old. Guess that means I'm special enough to do whatever the hell I damn well please. 

There are people in my town shaming others on social media, with pics, for taking a walk outside as a family and it's getting out of control. People are doxxing them. Note that we are not under lockdown. In fact, public health has encouraged us walking outside as long as we practice social distancing. 

People are also demanding that public health release exact locations of people who have COVID-19, instead of simply saying there are 9 in the city. C'mon people - it's getting out of control. People have a right to medical privacy and not being attacked by a lynch mob. 

That is for sure!!  People NEED TO STAY HOME!!!!  ... We also have extended family members who go to the store EVERY day!  That is not why the stores are open! 

I have a neighbor who posted pictures of herself on her way to Lowe's to pick up mulch and flowers etc for her outdoor project.  That is not why Lowe's is open. It is open for emergency supplies not to browse or to get supplies for your cure of boredom at home!!  OMG makes me so mad!!  We have extended family that are still having Easter dinner and think it is ok because it is just family.  Ummmmm Family can get the virus too.

I have read absolutely heartbreaking stories of family members who could not be with loved ones when they were dying in the hospital because no visits are allowed due to the virus.  I have also seen the same Families unable to attend a funeral  service once their family member died for the same no gatherings order.  If that does not wake people up I don't know what will...

People need to think of others and realize if you don't follow the rules you could be making it so that you or someone else's family member has to die alone in a hospital crying out for their family but can't have any visitors!!  It's a real wake up call!!  I hope no one has to go through again!!!

I have to say that I"m conflicted on the trip to Lowe's thing for flowers/mulch...as long as one person goes and it's a one time trip, I think it's fine.  

Mental health, excercise is essential during this time.  Many people find gardening incredibly healing.  Others are getting their children involved for the first time in learning how to plant seeds and grow.  What time better then now to enjoy nature, our yards, outdoors with healthy activities that help the body and mind stay healthy? I used to garden, it was my 'thing'- now my dogs are my things but if this had happened back then, I likely would have taken advantage of the days home to garden/plant.  I can't blame people for this- for many depression is real is this is a way to help-aka-essential IMO.

The garden centers are outdoors, as long as you were to keep distance and stay protected w/gloves/masks it should be ok/allowed.  Groceries I"m only doing every week or 10 days as I can.  We make more to gas station because this is where we can find water gallons and TP and it's sold on limit (which is good) but this means we have to go more often.
