    Agree that full lock down is essential. I wish ours were stronger, and we have some of the strongest in the world.

    Meantime, can your folks grow food and raise chickens etc, if they're on a farm? Your nephew could help out (depending on his age - if he's over 8 then for sure). Maybe you could go home and do the planting for them, since you can't attend lectures at the moment. Producing your own food dramatically reduces your dependence on supermarkets, and saves a lot of money.

    You might have to ignore her 'wishes' and do what's best for the family. Meantime, why would you get her sick?

    Yes. Definitely. But it may be longer than two months.

    All beaches should be closed. They are FAR from 'essential', and are causing massive problems with crowds in every country where beach culture exists.

    Deliveries here are contactless. The driver doesn't get anywhere near your open front door. They're not allowed to. As the recipient, you're required to keep door closed until they've left the property unless you need to show ID (from a safe distance .. like 4 metres minimum). Packages are left on the most distant point from the door, and still vaguely on your porch/steps/entry etc. Drivers are gloved, and packages are sealed in back of vans .. which are sealed from drivers' compartment. They're probably safer than the people receiving the stuff.

    If you live in an apartment, you're plumb out of luck in terms of safety anyway. Besides, there are rumours that the large supermarket chains may ban deliveries to high density housing at some point, due to the risk to their drivers. Not as bad as it sounds - in this country it's mostly the wealthy living in such housing, so they can figure it out for themselves. The poor live in outer suburbs here, so no problemo :)

    Think herd immunity will be the Socialist/ Democrats undoing.

    I live in Solano County near Sacramento. We have 450,000 people, 4 deaths, and a decreasing daily case number for the last three weeks. Two thirds of the cases etc. are in the LA area. And yet the morons in charge of our county have extended the lockdown for three weeks until 5/18. There are protests in Sacramento every day it seems. Newsom has been on TV stating that this shutdown is an opportunity to implement progressive ideas like healthcare for illegal aliens. Instead of helping the homeless with treatment for mental illness and substance abuse he’s forcing hotels to provide rooms where they can congregate close together out of the wind and sunlight. What could go wrong?

    So far out of touch. Where do you think those packages come from? They don’t just magically appear in a delivery van. People and drivers must sort and load those packages. As usual for the left they only think of what happens to themselves.
    I thought covid could survive for three days on cardboard?
    You think only the rich live in apartments? Where did you get that notion? The rich own property. The poor are forced to live in shoeboxes. Have you forgotten your Marxist training?

    Maintained control? They have the 11th worst rate of deaths per million population in the world. 8th worst if you take out really tiny nations like Andorra, St Maarten and San Marino where a small number of deaths can skew the figures enormously.
    And they are continuing to log new cases and new deaths. There is little evidence that the Swedish approach is "better" than the stay-at-home approach. Particularly when you compare their death rate per million to their neighbors Finland and Norway, which have a rate about 1/6th of Sweden's.

    It's as if these leftist political leaders are unaquainted with the concept called consequences or logical repercussions. They come up with these Utopia-based schemes and dreams and then utterly discount both reality and human nature as a pair of permanent factors. For them every crisis is a political opportunity to implement a large slice of social engineering.

    Why did Gov Cuomo force nursing homes to admit and readmit coronavirus patients, then claim that he never heard about it, and now admit it but threaten to sue nursing homes for not taking the necessary precautions ?? Why is he getting a pass from the MSM on this ???

    Democrats will deny they want to grab guns to the day they grab your guns

    Democrats will deny they are for open borders while they aid and abet foreign nationals who come and go unchecked and unregulated at will

    Democrats who hide hurricane relief from hurricane victims to hurt trump wouldn't think twice about spreading a virus and making it as painful as possible for Americans to hurt trump.

    The people who need tin foil hats are the people who believe Democrats and their neo-communist propaganda.

    Democrats are owned by the MSM

    The MSM is owned by China

    If you believe Cuomo and the MSM, you're what stalin would call useful... who advocate for their own enslavement.

    And I'll never forgive them for faking the moon landing and hiding Bigfoot. :roflol:

    Try an evidence-based agenda, or keep being gullible and copy/pasting looney conspiracy theories because your own political propaganda is more entertaining than the truth. Up to you.

    Feel free to provide sources. Something other than lunatic InfoWars idiocy would be nice.

    My nephew will be three, so unfortunately he's another mouth to feed right now. Luckily we get some money from the state for that, not to get overly complicated. While they can do that, and I myself will be trying in the coming weeks, it won't be enough immediately.

    As for why I would get her sick? Because if I'm going in and out to get money (I would be working my old job probably), I'm going to be an "essential worker". And I know the people who visit that store aren't going to be the healthiest. One of my old co-workers posted that she got yelled at by someone for telling them to listen to social distancing in the store.

    NBC News. Google “Cuomo forced nursing homes to accept Coronavirus patients”.

    Good to know you think NBC is a reliable source. I'm not so convinced it is, and something tells me a brief review of your past posts would show you don't actually trust it either. Also, there are several claims that need to be true in order for your conspiracy theory to be true. This, at best, would prove one of those many claims.

    Even the biased NBC News is reporting the story, Right over your head.
