I really needed to hear that today. He's been in business 40 years and I've never heard a bad thing said about him, even making a list of the top physicians in Atlanta. He would not tell me that if he didn't really believe it. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ms.Moon 17 Report post Posted March 23 Hello everyone just reaching out to say stay safe out there if you have to go out. I cannot go to work since I live in NY and we are currently under quarantine. I have been strangely okay but I have been putting on my walking shoes and just walking for at least an hour every day. It seems to help. If you can see if it helps. I can’t go to therapy so I am just letting my body work instead. Stay safe everyone. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davide.h 16 Report post Posted March 23 A CNN page said that people should seek out information on how to protect themselves and others but not overdo reading or watching the news (ironic thing for them to say), which, I'm guilty of. I keep hoping and praying for good news, but there's been so little. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MARC 258 Report post Posted March 23 I live in Baltimore and am at work now. The governor said today all non-essential businesses needed to close by 5PM today EST. My work is considered essential, so I will still continue to work. Work helps me forget about the Coronavirus. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MARC 258 Report post Posted March 24 The other night I was at a restaurant waiting for carryout, when I saw a woman, probably in her 60's. She had a scarf over her face. First of all, covering your face with a scarf, mask, etc., does nothing except if you have the virus and you are trying to keep others from getting it. She came near me and said we are all doomed and going to die. I said to her not likely and if I were you, I would stop watching the news. She then walked away and suddenly let out a scream. I turned around and she said she had a bad leg and it suddenly hurt her. I have seen her there before and she seemed a bit off. At this place, they have curbside pickup. I saw a woman drive up and she had instructed the people to open her trunk, which she had opened, and put the food in the car and close the trunk. However, she still had to sign the credit card receipt, which to me defeated the whole purpose of not touching the restaurant personnel or the food. It made no sense to me.

davide.h 16 Report post Posted March 24 I thought most restaurants were closed now. Maybe it's just dine-in places. Don't know for sure. Trump's remarks that he will "reopen America" made me feel worse. 😣 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trudy 19 Report post Posted March 25 so much for hoping we will follow in the not to long shadow of Korea and china. Their numbers are improving so I would hope the light is at the end of the tunnel down the line considering we are behind them and they are ahead of us Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
