Some of them right now don't have the C word (ha) but if they contract it they're so unhealthy I know at least one of them won't survive.
Most Americans are unhealthy, and should consider what underlying health conditions really means.

Coronavirus: Are there two strains and is one more deadly?

"When Xiaolu Tang at Peking University in Beijing and colleagues studied the viral genome taken from 103 cases, they found common mutations at two locations on the genome. The team identified two types of the virus based on differences in the genome at these two regions: 72 were considered to be the “L-type” and 29 were classed “S-type”."

$1000 is so arbitrary
For some that would mean the world, for some it isn't enough, and for others it isn't needed at all.
It will do better than nothing. I'm pretty sure I'm my landlord's favourite tenant so I don't think he'll evict me, but I'm sure he has some bills to pay as well.

I'm guessing from a stroke, in about 5 years... alcohol induced.
Nah. I have heart problems. Bad valve.
It will get me eventually.

Could be a stroke I guess too.

Maybe we should start a poll.

I'm sure evicting someone in Cali is a monumental task, especially during something like this.

Hope shit gets sorted quickly for ya.

In brighter news, Brady has quit The Pats. How self convoluted is that at the moment, lol.
It ain't getting sorted. I sound like I have it when I don't so no one is going to employ me, and there's only medical facilities and grocery stores allowed to open here anywhore.

I am in the middle. And I'm aware that the media ALWAYS sensationalizes everything.

I'm fine with the shutdowns. If it keeps old people from getting it and some grandmas and grandpas don't die, cool.

But I disagree that there is a reason to panic. There's not. We go thru one of these things every couple of years. This one appears to be very contagious but not particularly deadly unless you are old or otherwise comromised.
So what’s your thoughts on it being labelled a national emergency ?

I knew I was going to be told I had to self quarantine, but watching that I legally have to till April 6th still gave me a bit of a shock.

Why don’t the Feds have this shit under control, it’s not like this election was a surprise vote?

Get them some cleaning supplies and some PPE
They should close down all physical voting places, send out mail in ballots to all registered voters, and give a date for when all ballots have to be in to be counted./ Seems like a simple solution to me.
