How is the virus affecting you?

[SPYDERLK]

Who’s up for some disinfectant injections ?

What about some sub-dermal UV light treatments ?

Anyone ?

Seriously tho, check out Far UVC - the ~ 220 nM wavelength. Virtually instant eradication of virii in air and on surfaces. Eye and skin safe. :confused3:

Misinformation and distortion on your part. What else is new?

Likewise my apple orchard must be getting lonesome by now.

More realistically - We have new trees in the orchard that will be lost if they don't get watered soon. I think we've already lost the patio plants. Ag is an essential activity so I'm legal driving over there.

We'll do it like going camping, taking what we need so no local shopping. We've been quarantined in town for a month with no contact and groceries delivered so we're not likely contagious. But we owe it to our neighbors there (and also considering our own ages) to maintain no-contact until the situation becomes clearer.

Maybe we're all going to die, I don't know. Dad lived at the orchard until his last day and that would be my choice too.

This year our RV will be parked out back behind the barn and we will do backyard camping. Not all bad. Just as quiet here as in the woods, minus the woods of course.

Cali, news flash, We Are All Going To Die. But not from CV.

And if I knew for a fact that I was going to get CV eventually and die of it I dang sure would not be hiding at home trying to avoid the inevitable.

Nobody wants to infect other people but those who fear it need to alter their behavior more that expecting others to do it for them.

Would you go into those homeless slums in San Francisco and mix and mingle with everyone there now? No. But you didn’t before either I bet.

I hope you get water to your trees in time to save them. I hope you have a bumper crop this year and that there is a market for them when they come ready!

i think its a matter of focus. Consider that real time testing would tell people who was safe right now. Business employees tested as they arrive and go home; customers, people on the street, etc. Business and life could proceed almost as normal while vaccine and herd immunity were developed.

Then we agree on working and herd immunity.
I agree on testing, but not sure we can test that many people that often, but yeah, test all we can.
Sweden looking at herd immunity being reached in just 2 weeks!!!
meanwhile we will house arrest and achieve no herd immunity

Well the effect on me? I am sporting my longest hair since 7th grade albeit mostly white instead of black... and my longest beard, always had a goatee but now a full beard almost all salt and little pepper. All time weight record as well. I've got some cleaning up to do... hopefully soon!

Hay Dude you make a lot of good points. 20 years from now we may still be talking about how COVID-19 is affecting us.

Like in the Great Depression people may come to realize there can be rainy days, weeks, months and years in one's life time. The middle class has been gutted and if we keep outsourcing jobs there is no way to rebuild the middle class. The family farm use to be a store house of value for future generations. Often the parents would build a new house and one of the kids would move into old farm house and if the size of the farm was growing there would be houses for other of the kids. The equipment would be shared as well as gardens, beef and hogs were shared and they would swap work, etc.

The family farm is gone for the most part. The government is the safety net until it is not the safety net. Now even in rural America the 30-50 year old age group often do not even know the families living near them. Small communities and its store(s), school and churches are about to be gone.

We know the small mom and pop businesses like the country store, eating places, dealerships will be closing because there is no market or young generation interested in something that is dead end. If we live in our homes for months and told not to get out that just drives more and more people to Amazon and other on line sources that we may just keep using. Movies are being streamed during the lock down, people are working from home on line, remote medicine is going main stream, etc and I can see high rise office buildings in NYC begging for people to come back. A company with 200 employees may wind up only needing needing space for a staff of 20 and even if there is no down sizing of the staff (down sizing can be expected) the other 180 may just decide to work from home. College continues but from home for my daughter and both summer semesters are going to be online. She is not putting miles on her truck like before so the new tires are not wearing like before. Car insurance carriers are refunding a % of premiums for people not driving like before. Fewer cars will need to be replaced as often as people become more home based.

I do not remember her name but will look up the interview from the other day with a lady with 4 kids in TX that was on Wall Street then at the TX based Federal Reserve Bank so she knows high finance and motherhood. She points out how this virus is much more than a speed bump because it is going to change us like the Great Depression did her grandparent's generation. She talks about how her grandparents saved to buy things and did not borrow money because they saw debt was a way one could lose everything.

You will know in the first 60 seconds if her gatling gun speed and subject is of interest or not then you can just stop watching the interview. She is all American and like other women that I have met from Texas. She thinks the virus impact to our financial future is all already huge even if we went back to work next Monday. She is very professional and due to the content I am going to have my kids and staff watch it. I do not know the interviewer but I thought he was professional in that he did not do most of the talking. I was trying to learn more about the corona virus pandemic when I ran across the interview.

Who ever guaranteed you another day In the first place?

We can’t wait for a vaccine or anything else. This has a very high survival rate and not everyone gets it anyway. Get things started back up and get people used to a change in behavior to be more cautious and preventative. Work on finding a vaccine or a prophylactic treatment until we find one. People who want to stay at home can continue to do so, but they shouldn’t be paid to do it.

The problem you have is that on this, you are in the minority ... it will be a hard sell.
