SOCIAL DISTANCING?

You bet your sweet biffy I called the cops. They said since I didn't get a close look at them, and it didn't happen to me, I couldn't do much except be a coroborrating witness IF (not WHEN) the victim made a complaint and pressed charges. I don't know if he knew these kids or not, but as shook up as he was I have a feeling he will not follow through.

I CANNOT abide people abusing the elderly, children or animals. In other words the defenseless. If these young'uns want to beat the crap out of each other I don't have a problem with that, as long as it is a fair fight.

Yes! What Rolltide said! !
You (as in all of us) know it's only going to get worse!

I usually only go to the store once a week and that is Wednesday. I'm considering asking Mel (Mike The Roomie's coffee buddy) who is a Vietnam Vet and one tough little guy, to drive me and accompany me in and out even though it is less than 3 blocks away. I don't like to bother him, or anyone else either. Also, I would like to think I can take care of myself. That being said, three on one and I don't think I would be victorious. Maybe 10 or 20 years ago... but now? Probably, realistically, no.

Now I wish I still had my revolver. And yes, if I needed to I would use it.

That sounds like a VERY GOOD PLAN. ❣

They said a mask & gloves was all that was needed to go to the grocery store.

They lied.

Everybody else had clothes on!

So our small county of 42,000 has just announced that we have our first confirmed case of Coronavirus. I knew it was just a matter of time, here we go...........Angelflutter.

I know. It's awful.

The city I'm in had a population of under 30,000 as of the 2010 census. We've had quite a lot of people moving here since then, so I don't know what the population is now. I'm sure it's past 40,000 or more. But it's still a small city.

We just received notice yesterday that we have a confirmed case of COVID-19 in our city.

Our county has had six deaths from COVID-19 and 31 coronavirus infections, with 24 of them contracted locally.

I believe we have more cases, though. People often don't know they have it.

I just figure that it's "everywhere."

[Catticus]

Well who do ya' believe?

I just looked it up and it says our county has 9 confirmed cases but no deaths yet.

The 6 deaths and 31 infections I mentioned above were a neighboring county.

I believe there are lots of people who have had it and don't even know they did, and lots who have it and aren't sure.

Speaking of, I have a brother-in-law over 55 years of age who in either January or February was feeling tired and out of breath. He also had a cough. He said he felt "winded" just walking. He went to the doctor thinking he had the flu. The doctor checked him out and said he didn't have a temperature, his lungs were clear and he didn't seem to have anything wrong with him. He came home and soon it passed and he's fine, now.

Looking back, I can't help but wonder.
