I agree, it's selfish! You can be asymptomatic, but give it to someone who gives it to someone, who gives it to someone! Young people are getting sick, though. It seems like the early idea of "it only affects the old and unwell" has been disproven. Here's an article I read.

It's good to hear people care about their families/friends so much  :) 

 

It really is. My neighbor and I are at complete opposite ends of the political spectrum (i could not BE more liberal), but we're very united on this. He went out yesterday to buy baby wipes and such for people who couldn't get them. I have a friend who started a job as a cashier at a grocery store like a week before this happened, and she posted a note for her neighbors in her multi-family that she can pick up stuff for them, if they need her to. On the flip side, she said some lady screamed at her because she was trying to get a discount from an old sale circular, and my friend couldn't give her the discount...

 

I worry how many people are going to die because of our governments "not taking this seriously" initial response. We wasted so much time.

I'm currently in quarantine after being exposed 

 

Are you scared at all? We're not quarantined, but we're more or less in self-drive isolation. We're in a place where it's being taken seriously, but not quite "lock it all down" level seriously as of now. Schools are closed, and restaurants are only supposed to do take out / delivery, that kind of thing. People here are still talking like it's going to be 2-3 weeks, but they're saying the peak may be 45 days or so away. 




#2030907 Fresh TV Options

There's so much good TV right now! I've finished Witcher, GoT, and The Expanse. Waiting for Season 3 of The Sinner and I'll probably watch Picard.

What do you recommend next? I've heard Mandalorian is good, and I started Avenue Five (it was OK, I'll give it another episode). What are you watching?
