What are everyone's thoughts on this? It seems to be all we every hear about these days. No NCAA March Madness basketball due to it. It is impacting you, by that I mean can you not go to work or school due to everything being shut down?
-
I'm not too worried. I'll remain neutral on the rest, though.

People are making a big deal over this for nothing

You are right. They're cleaning out the shelves of toilet paper at the supermarkets like crazy. Then the people who really need it more, can't get it.
-
Both grocery stores in my town are 100% out of it

I do believe that the government and CDC are going too far with all the restrictions, social distancing, no sporting events such as March Madness basketball, no Master's Golf, no church services, no eating out at restaurants, people have to work from home. I think the COVID-19 is being used to attempt to control our lives. They've :banned: pretty much everything. :censored: the government, media, the CDC and everyone else. I'm not saying we shouldn't take it seriously; we should. But the rules they've put in place are too strict and drastic.

Not sure when this happened, but The Weather Channel is now joining all it's cable news brethren in airing the daily White House briefings on the coronavirus.

They're going too far. I mean TWC should report on it to some degree, because they've always talked about weather and how it affects/relates to our health, but to do the same thing that CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox News do is uncalled for.

The Weather Channel, much like other cable networks, has moved its on-camera meteorologists out of the studio and into their own homes. Jacqui Jeras and Felicia Combs have been running the 8am-12pm time slot from their own makeshift studios at home.

This change is definitely surreal.

The whole staying home thing is BS. I understand the seriousness of the virus, but shutting the country down for a month is insane. Millions have already lost their job and business are having to close permanently (kind of hard to stay open with no money coming in). I hope every politician that supported this loses their job in November.

And the CDC doesn't care. :furious: The news media only tells you the confirmed cases and deaths. They won't tell you about the people who have recovered (and there are many, many people who have). They don't want to know anything good or positive, it seems. Just what's bad and negative. I agree with you 100%.

I hope this virus goes away by the end of next month!

I saw your sister, Lindsay's comment on facebook and with all due respect, I don't think she understands the other impacts it's having. Yes, quarantining is BS, as is social distancing. I am so sick and tired of this whole thing.

I'm inhaling some extremely ignorant, self-centered anecdotal content in this thread :rolleyes:

My university along with the rest of the PASSHE universities got shut down and moved to online only classes for the rest of the semester. While I might not like online classes, I support the decision since the health of the students/teachers/operations staff and the community in general are more important at this time.

Agreed, very much so....I guess we should just go on with life as normally so the virus can spread much more rapidly since we now know it can be simply by just breathing and talking near someone who’s infected or someone who is asymptomatic showing zero signs of symptoms yet still spreading the virus. If we had of been proactive in doing these measures back in February, if not late January we would likely be on the cusp of recovery from this virus. It’s not like this magically popped up in the US a month ago and nowhere else. We saw and heard the grim developments that were occurring in China, Spain, Italy, etc. weeks/months ago we collectively as a country should have been proactive and preparing then, not a few weeks ago as crap hit the fan. End rant. Edit: Let’s try to be sympathetic to people in other countries around the world who are also suffering economically, it’s not just Americans who are suffering from this. We all live on this planet and as a result we all are greatly and personally affected by this global pandemic.

Still, I just want normal life to come back. The normal function of society. I agree that it didn't just pop into the United States a month ago, but it sure did seem sudden, when it began to affect the normal riggers of life. Social distancing, staying at home, except for the essentials. Cancelling everything and shutting down the country. I hate every bit of it!

How does everyone feel about this COVID-19 pandemic now?
-
Honestly, I'm getting bored with the pandemic. I have hardly went out because I don't want to risk getting sick. But of course, people can't accept that, so their selfishness is to blame for all 2020's mess.
-
Yeah same. I'm usually out on the weekends but I stay home during the week and rarely venture out. I'm so sick of it and want normal life to resume soon. I miss going out and not worrying about getting sick.
-
Well in another couple of week it will have been a year since this COVID-19 crap started. I hope that with the vaccines and heard immunity, it will finally be closer to coming to a close, and the post-covid era can begin with no more wearing masks and no more social distancing.
