Corona Virus #6

Posted this in #5 but think it is worth posting here again. I know a lot of us have grandkids and there is false info about them not getting it.

Infants can get severely ill from COVID-19, study says - HoustonChronicle.com

My wife has been taking care of 2 of our grandkids and 1 great grandkid. :confused3: she is a monster about this.

I've always held that you don't with a mother of any species... and that goes double if she's a grandmother.

It will work it's way up here, there are too many people who think that it can't happen to them. I told my mother that there's no reason for her to leave the house; we can do her shopping, even if we just leave things on her door step.

Take care of mother Jstpssng . . . :thumbsup:

One of our senior politicians has it, wonder how that will change the official outlook?

I was think the same with my mom but the possibility of the virus on the bag or grocery could still be around unless she sanitizes them, Or I sanitize them on the doorstep before I leave. But then there is the mail also . . . . there always seems to be a way the virus can sneak in.

It depends if he has a mild or severe case.

56 cases so far here in Maine, all quite a bit south of here.

There are a couple around Bangor but not near Stockton Springs were my very good friend and his wife live and he's 'hunkered down' right now. We were planning on going up there this summer for a couple weeks, guess we aren't now.

We have around 355 'cases' here in Michigan but all are in Wayne and Oakland counties which interestingly is where the concentration of population is in Michigan, with I think 3 deaths.

Far as posters on here contracting the 'Chinese Flu', you'll never know because they will just quit posting.

They will have much more pressing things to attend to, like surviving.

I keep thinking about Bird especially. He ain't no spring chicken, but then, neither am I.

I do have a distinct advantage though, I live in a very remote non populated area and I can control almost 100% any contact with strangers.

Hopefully, farming this year will be without incident. Working on equipment right now. I have it down to a one man operation...me.

San Jose is starting to enforce business closures as 60 violators reported... Beauty Shops, Barbers, Pool Hall, Gyms, etc...

My Bank had the doors deadbolted but would allow a one customer at time in... the manager said they locked the doors to protect staff from irate customers...

All the tellers are behind plexiglass but bank officers and account reps have desks in the lobby.

Do we have a death count of TBN members as of Fri evening the 20th?

I think one has been exposed, of course everyone here has an designated death notifying to TBN assignee. If anyone starts to get sick keep us updated on the symptoms as they occur as long as you can.

Are you referring to Peter Dutton? If so, he had a mild 'dose' and is out of self-isolation.

#6 Thread, eh? I go to bed and you blokes just can't help yourself... oh, well. Here's some humour:
