The article didn't say the virus is not affecting ppl in warm climates. I have to "assume" you put yourself a greater risk when you drink cold fluids, that is not to say you cannot catch this virus if you drink hot or warm drinks.
I Can only tell what I read.

Don't know if it's true but a sportscaster on a local sports radio show, that also broadcasts CBS sports and other sports radio sportscasters from around the country evenings and weekends, was saying earlier today he saw people in Central Park playing basketball and other group playground type activities. Says he works in a big building where others work, doesn't know even if the elevator buttons, sports radio and restrooms used by all on his floor, are being regularly wiped down. Says when he goes out there are still people acting no differently from 2 months ago! If true, it's frightening that so many are potential carriers or victims-to-be of their own bad judgment still out and about.

I've been wondering how you could stay safe confined in elevators - they are never even 6 ft. wide.

We jumped from a thousand to a couple of thousand deaths in a couple days. Crazy people won’t help this

Just saw a Tweet of a woman with alledgedly her pix attached saying we could count her as one of the apparently a previously published pix of a group in Central Park! Jawdropping! :mad:

We have a member lives in NYC, Thursday she was going to Central Park with stroller and yorkie. I suggested that was not a wise choice especially since NYC has a very high count of the virus, her reply was "I cannot keep away from CP"....go figure :rolleyes:

They're infection rate is soaring. Cannot imagine such an irresponsible attitude. Areas of high increased infection going to have to start arresting people!

Saw a neat Tweet from NFL's Robert Griffin III: "Your're not stuck at home. You're safe at home."

Rather be home then at a funeral home

:thumbup:

I don’t think half the people understand what’s going on. My 80+ year old neighbor and her DH keep meeting with their relatives and friends thinking it’s ok because their group is less than 10 people. I asked her where each one was the day before? She says well no one is sick or has any symptoms. I said that’s why this disease is spreading so fast. People don’t know they have it and spread it around. By the time symptoms show up, they’ve all interacted with hundreds of other people.
A family member keeps sending my son to the grocery store for 1 or 2 items. I said you know it would be better to wait till you need a bunch of things from the store, rather than sending him out everyday for 1 or 2 items. She says well he goes to work everyday, what’s the difference? I said the less he’s out minimizes his possibility of exposure. She still doesn’t ‘get it’ and now is mad at me for saying she needs to change her behavior. WTF... stay at home means just that. STAY AT HOME!

Thanks for letting me vent... not that you had a choice, lol.

Show them this page. I’ve been transfixed watching it rise

Thanks for the link. I’ll try that when they talk to me again.

It probably doesn’t hit home until it’s family or friends dying

True, may be too late by then. Sad.

Cuomo, Newsom and Abbott and other governors of states where people are not taking physical distancing in public seriously had better ban parks, public trails, beaches, etc., until we get a downturn of the spike of covid-19 cases. Saw coverage on the news where one newscaster said that he'd seen teenagers at a local park playing basketball! I saw a long, long line of adults of various ages waiting in line to apply for unemployment benefits(tuned into the story late so no idea where it was), barely a foot apart just like those black Friday lines waiting for the stores to open and don't recall seeing anyone wearing a mask or scarf or anything over their mouth or nose!

What IS is about catching or not contributing to the spread of this virus they just won't get? Because death rate is still low percentage-wise and morbidity equal to a bad cold, regular flu episode, in most of the cases? How do they know whether they might be missing a gene that precludes this virus from hitting most really hard, local medical provider/hospital just plain out of the primary medication or equipment their doctor orders, or their strain of virus mutates or grows rapidly enough in them enough to kill?

I’d say there are people in all 50 states that have a attitude the thing won’t get me.

I might be one of them if I were younger. I’m older now and it’s finally in my rural area so, I take extra precautions.
I’ve been watching these numbers climbing up steadily
