Frankly, I am getting a little tired of being hit over the head by the news media regarding their 24/7 virus news coverage. In particular, why do we need to know the latest daily number of positive tests and number of people who have died of the virus in each individual county - in my case the 8 San Francisco Bay Area counties. Are we having a race to see who can generate the largest numbers of virus cases and deaths in each of the counties each day? How does this help the TV news viewers to live their lives better? Maybe having these statistics for the entire country and individual states might be of interest once a week, but why for relatively small political subdivisions, unless it is just done to scare people?
And the other major irritation for me is how each individual county has their own rules and regulations regarding what their residents need to obey in order to keep themselves safe from getting the virus. Some have a mileage limit that can be traveled within the county, some do not. Some say you have to wear a mask at all times and some do not. It makes me wonder if these regulations are the result of science or just local health officials grabbing as straws and just trying to come up with something new that might help in their local area. Some of these regulations just don't make any common sense to me.

The news media depends on advertising $$$$. The advertisers pay according to how many of their demographic watch a program. The news shows are trying to convince us that we need to watch in order to survive. I'm going to socially distance, avoid crowds, wear a mask when I shop and only shop for food. I will do this no matter how many people test positive or die. No longer watch the national news. Watch only the weather forecast on local news. If the news media starts losing viewers because of the minute by minute death count, they'll start covering other news also.

I can't even watch the weather forecast anymore without the weather person plugging the virus.
In other news: My town just installed a large construction-type illuminated message board, located about 6 miles from the city limit, saying "if you traveled more than 5 miles to get here, go home".

What gets me - it seems half of America want to ignore this human disaster and destroy their lock down, are they plain stupid. If that's their wish, ok I'm quite happy for them to do what they like as they say its a free world but don't infect others who are trying to stay safe. If I die as a result from those arseholes making this pandemic any worse than it is - a warning, I shall come back to fucking haunt them!!!

Darwin will sort things out and we will find out who is right, health officials or the protesters.

This succinctly explains the experts absolute knowledge on
how to stay perfectly safe during this pandemic
CORONAVIRUS UPDATE
New Guidelines...
Here are the official Coronavirus guidelines:
1. Basically, you can't leave the house for any reason, but if you have to, then you can.
2. Masks are useless. But they will protect you. They can save you, no they can’t, they’re useless, but wear one anyway. Now they’re mandatory. But maybe. Or not.
3. Stores are closed, except for the ones that are open.
4. You should not go to the hospital unless you have to go there. Stay out of the ER at all costs unless you’re having a medical emergency then it’s okay.
5. This virus is deadly but still not too scary, except that sometimes it actually leads to a global disaster. Stay calm.
6. Gloves won't help, but they can still help. Especially if you wear the same pair for hours and everywhere you go, then you can not spread germs, nope. #science
7. Everyone needs to stay home, but it's important to go out because sunlight will kill the virus but not if the virus kills you first by walking in the sunlight where you may be exposed to the virus.
8. There is no shortage of groceries in the supermarket, but there are many things missing when you go there in the evening, but not in the morning. Sometimes.
9. The virus has no effect on children except those it has affected or will affect.
10. Animals are not affected, but there is still a cat that tested positive in Belgium in February when no one had been tested yet, and a tiger.. and one really deadly but also possibly fictional but very sick bat.
11. You will have many symptoms when you are sick, but you can also get sick without symptoms, have symptoms without being sick, or be contagious without having symptoms.
12. In order not to get sick, you have to eat well and exercise, but also never go out to the grocery store so eat shelf stable processed crap and stay inside your four walls but also stay healthy.
13. It's better to get some fresh air, but you may be arrested if you’re getting fresh air the wrong way and most importantly, don't go to a park, the fresh air there is deadly.
14. Under no circumstances should you go to retirement homes, but if you have to take care of the elderly and bring them food and medication then fine. Just wear gloves. The same ones. All day.
15. If you are sick, you can't go out, but you can go to the pharmacy to get your medications. Just don’t make eye contact cause you may spread your sickness that way.
16. You can get restaurant food delivered to the house, which may have been prepared by people who didn't wear masks or gloves. But you have to leave your groceries outside for 3 hours to be decontaminated by the fresh air that also may have virus particles floating around in it.
17. Taxi drivers are immune to the virus apparently since you can still take a taxi ride with a random taxi driver. Just don’t take the taxi to your mom’s house because you know. Stay away from your mom.
18. You can walk around with a friend if you stay six feet apart but don’t visit with your family if they don't live under the same roof as you. Even if you’ve all been locked inside for two months already. You may still have the virus and just not know it yet. You’ll find out. Wait another week. Wasn’t that week? Might be the next one. Keep waiting.
19. You are safe if you maintain the appropriate social distance, but you can’t go out with friends or strangers at the safe social distance. Social distancing means you shouldn’t leave your house and don’t be social, except you may go to the liquor store but don’t socialize there while you’re being socially distant.
20. The virus remains active on different surfaces for two hours, no, four, no, six, no, we didn't say hours, maybe days? But it takes a damp environment. Oh no, not necessarily.
21. The virus stays in the air - well no, or yes, maybe, especially in a closed room, in one hour a sick person can infect ten, so if it falls, all our children were already infected at school before it was closed. But remember, if you stay at the recommended social distance, however in certain circumstances you should maintain a greater distance, which, studies show, the virus can travel further, maybe.
22. We count the number of deaths but we don't know how many people are infected as we have only tested so far those who were "almost dead" to find out if that's what they will die of…
23. The virus will only disappear if we achieve collective immunity.. but stay inside until the virus disappears.
24. If you are out; look down at the ground because if you make eye contact and say hello then you’ll definitely get it. Maybe.
Well, that just about clears it up

I think #45s idea of injecting bleach directly into the blood is an excellent way of dealing with the virus, why not ask him to be the first to try it out!
What kind of fool is he and what kind of idiots support his crackpot ideas? If they are the best brains in the country, God help you!!

I have to admit that was one of Trumps worst ideas. I really wish he would keep all of his thoughts to himself. Or like you say above, try it himself first and let the rest of us know how it works.
And after he injects disinfectants, follow that with a dose of Roundup.

I'm thankful somebody knows the truth out there as I've already started on the Dettol. After my evening meal I'll have a drop of the hard stuff - bleach 'n coke, strange never liked the smell of chlorine, a bit like Gin. I swallowed a mercury light bulb earlier - don't feel so good but I think the dettol and bleach should sort me out

If you think its shocking for a US President to discuss injecting bleach directly into the blood as a way of dealing with C19,,.
Have a look at this? 45 percent of Americans approve of his job performance,,!!
Weekly summaries
October 25-31: 44 percent of Americans approve of the way Donald Trump is handling his job as president and 54 percent disapprove, a two percentage point decline in approval and a two-point increase in disapproval since the previous week. Trump’s approval had risen as high as 47 percent in SurveyMonkey tracking for two weeks in late September and early October, but has now regressed to the middle of the range (between 43 and 45 percent) where it had been for twelve weeks before that.

Some of these regulations just don't make any common sense to me.
