I don't know. I do suppose they are hunkered right the F down in Buckingham Palace right now. I heard that the Queen and Prince Philip were moved out to one of the country estates in recent weeks. I guess now we know why. this morning, I read about the death of actor Mark Blum from COVID-19 And I saw an article that she hadn't seen Prince Charles for more than 14 days before he was diagnosed.

Boris Johnson the Prime Minister, Mat Hancock the Health Minister..... and England's Chief Medical Officer......... all have it. These are the people who have been on UK TV every night with their instructions for the pandemic. Looks a bit careless

Well not really funny because now we have some muppet on TV talking out of his bottom........... (Which doesn't exactly inspire confidence as we approach a peak in the crisis)

I've seen multiple sources reporting that starting earlier today.

I just heard about Joe Diffie. He was well-liked by country music fans.

Cousin's nurse daughter is better, her DH's fever broke yesterday but came back today. That doesn't inspire confidence.
A high school friend died this week of Covid-19.
My nephew went to work Thursday for about two hours before they shut down...because the owner spent a three-day weekend in Vegas and left the day before Trump decided that maybe there was cause for concern. Owner's positive test came back Thursday. All employees are now quarantined at home for 14 days. Nephew has to report his temperature each morning to the county health department.
I'm tired of reading about conspiracy theories. It's the Russians. It's the North Koreans. It's the Chinese. It's even George Soros. They're all apparently trying to bring down the US government, except for George Soros. He's trying to bring down the administration.
God help us, it's the end times because we made God mad.

I'm so sorry for your loss, and family illnesses, @missrigby. Do they all live in the same part of the USA, or are they scattered around?

busymom The friend who died and my nephew live in my very tiny, isolated, and rural hometown. And since my friend died, there have been two more deaths up therein the same town. No doubt there will be more to come. Wondering how trump thinks he can "assign" high-, medium-, low-risk areas... Cousin's daughter and her DH live in Indiana.

That reminds me of my Aunt's doctor who told her she needn't worry about ever getting HIV, since she lived in a small town. Riiiiiiight.

I heard this morning that John Prine is out of critical. Hope so. I know he has underlying health issues too.
Jackson Browne? Longtime smoker, hang tough buddy, and cruise 295 out of Portland Maine again sometime soon!

If I'm diagnosed, my company can live without me for a few weeks.

Jesus- I literally JUST saw that guy on the news for the first time, like 2 days ago. Chris Cuomo has had his brother, NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo, on his evening show as of late. After discussing the virus in NY, the two of them start jabbing each other about which of the two of them their mother loves best. Fun to watch.

Do you seriously think it's only Fox news watchers that aren't taking this seriously? Based on my reading of FB, that is completely not true. There are idiots on both sides of the political aisles, along with people who don't care about politics at all. It would be so nice, if for once, people could post something about making it political. I actual disagree that he is doing a service by having a platform. That tells me that he doesn't have a severe case of it. If someone has the corona and is well enough to be working from home, they need to shut their damn mouths before we hear more of "see, it's not even as bad as the flu"....

The only people in my life that appear to still believe this is hooey are avid Fox watchers. Others may think it is hooey, but keeping their opinion to themselves.

The only people in my life that appear to still believe this is hooey are avid Fox watchers. Others may think it is hooey, but keeping their opinion to themselves. I'm seeing it all over the place. I'm seeing it from idiotic young people, who think they can't get it. I'm seeing them post on FB...and these are the same one that like Bernie for the free college and free everything, so no, they are not watching Fox news. And a government housing complex is now being overrun with the virus. People in a local FB group (for our county) went and took pictures of the cars in the parking lot of this complex....more NY license plates than PA! Based on the demographics of the people in this complex, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that very few, if any, watch fox news. But these are the idiots that are not self-quarantining and hitting up all of our local grocery stores. On my personal FB page, I'm seeing both extremes. People like me on both sides of the aisle (afraid to leave the damn house) and people that aren't taking it seriously.

I'm tired of EVERYTHING turning political. This is a fucking pandemic. For once, can we stop with the jabs at everyone? Is that too much to ask. And I'm sure I can find a lot of articles saying how the democrats are hoping this is really bad and kills a lot of US citizens just so trump loses the election. Guess what, I dont' want to see any americans die from this...and that goes from the extreme left crazies to the far right crazies. Also, it is a god damn democratic governor of a hot zone who is up in arms because Trump threatened to quarantine his citizens. Same with Rhode Island. If you look at my state and the cases, it is infiltrating from NY! But the liberals are up in arms about "martial law" and "states rights'. So yeah, idiots on both sides of the aisle.
