Did you fail as a parent? Are your ADULT CHILDREN IN SOUTH PADRE RIGHT NOW? https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-03-16/students-on-spring-break-swarm-failing-to-heed-virus-warnings

That’s what they call it when there aren’t tests available. ‘Unspecified acute lower respiratory infection.’ We think we have Coronavirus. The numbers are under-reported and the voice mailboxes to say “hey I’m sick” are full or to get a test are full. New Yorkers are being asked to stay at home if they’re not experiencing failing health conditions. My symptoms feel like someone’s poured hot sand in my lungs, a lot like an asthma attack but with fiberglass fibers in my lungs. We have hot tea, elderberry, plenty of asthma meds, and food. We’re going to hole up for the next two weeks and see what happens.

I’ll see your Florida and raise you a Texas. In Austin, at least 100 people gathered on the statehouse grounds in hats and shirts with President Trumps slogan, Make America Great Again.

You might survive, but the weaker might not. How can people be so selfish? Note, he is a rideshare driver. Possibly the worst possible vector for spread. “My wife’s on a ventilator. It’s been like that for three weeks, and it’s tough. It’s sad,” said Hitchens. He thought this might be a government-planned distraction. I’ll wager he’s been drinking some disinformation from right-wing “alternative” media.
