Our country of 300million+ is a mess and people are on the verge of great disaster. Some are dying from suicides and depression is rampant, jobs lost, businesses closed, my vibrant town here in CA is a ghost town...so I know from where I speak...children not in schools, it's a major disaster.

I hope we can let this go and all can think for themselves.

It's not the verge of disaster, it is disaster. It is terrible. That's what I said in my first post.

It's shocking and terrible and I'm so blessed that it's not like that where I live. Why can't I say that?

I feel as if I'm beating my head against a brick wall. Then you always just shut it down and say "we can let this go". Talk about it.

When someone starts a topic they should expect to have responses, whether they agree with them or not. As long as all are being respectful to one another.

Here in Florida, everything is open and pretending to be "business as usual" despite high caseloads & deaths. (thankfully coming down tho after Holiday "superspreader" gatherings)
I have had close friends in hospital with COVID, and know others who had it and still have bad lingering issues months later, and sadly know some who have lost the battle, despite conventional and alternative treatments.
I am actually very thankful my county has a mask mandate and other safety measures. Also thankful we finally have a Federal response that takes this Pandemic seriously.

I was not expecting all to believe as I do.

And yes we hear about FL all the time, ** My daughter sadly is talking about moving to FL and she's lived here 55 yrs and her children 5th generation Californians.

Lara, and I was referring to People being on the verge of disaster and especially the poor and truly we've expressed our thoughts and your country has a population of some 25Million and CA alone has 40Million or so. so the larger the population the larger the issues. But I and many believe so much mismanagement in our state.

Thanks Chemar.

Here wearing a mask is expected in public (I rightly get glared when I forget in the supermarket) and is compulsory on public transport.

There are lots of advisories (never approach another person in public closer than about 3 metres or so.

Well, as I see it ALL, everything is made up as we go along. Nothing like this has ever taken place in our country outside the 1918 Spanish flu.

Caroline what you mean by everything?

Here careful attention is paid to the professionals (immunologists, virologists, epidemiologists and similar).

Thankfully we are in this mode here in the USA now!

In the US some people believe covid is overblown or even a conspiracy of some sort.
Best to websearch that topic if interested due to NT guidelines of limited political discussion..it is often connected with political beliefs.
