...wtf has this world turned in to - we are scared to be fined for going for a walk
Not being flippant... but, what are local town authorities? I just moved to this state, but still, as a lifetime renter am not aware of local gov't... HMOs, condo associations, city hall, etc. The only "laws" I've ever concerned myself with were set by my lease & bldg owner.
So, should I call the local police (not 911, of course)? And, if the answer is yes, do I call the police in my county, state?? When I try to find local TV stations, they don't seem to cover this info, so I don't know who to contact.
TYVM!
Most states have a COVID response page set up now because they're all tracking the progression of the virus for the CDC statistics and analysis.
https://floridahealthcovid19.gov/
The above is for FL if you haven't already checked it. Their hotline might also be able to direct you to answers if you can't find it on the page.
This is really helpful, thank you so much for looking it up for me! I had no idea.
No problem. Glad it can help you out.

I'm still working, at work. Glad to have my job...glad to 'get' to get out - altho I wish I could have an extra day of "self isolation"...I'm tired. More mentally exhausted than usual.
Being part of an "essential service" has a weird feel...I'm glad to help, and super glad to get my whole pay cheque, and we can't work remotely - but is it worth it?
And I find it strange that the government is finding all this money to cover people, its great, but what about us who have to go out there?
Is it worth it to us? Are we risking our lives because our 'job' is essential, when we could be staying at home with the government $ allowed?
I don't know if I'm being stupid or not in life skills right now

My union is pushing for a pay increase for essential workers, since we are at increased exposure to being infected. I think the virus is not as lethal as we are lead to believe (for young/middle age , healthy adults) but still, if we get infected and have to isolate that's a pain in the *kitten*.3 -

I feel like some people had the virus before it people were aware of it. We had the symptoms, and the docs said "its just a virus". So we rode it out like we would any other. 🤷♀️
My dad had all the symptoms (fever, trouble breathing, etc...) back in Feb. I think I was already exposed and got my antibodies.
So I am half paranoid that I will get very sick, and half sure I'm fine. Its a very weird feeling.
Also, being an "essential" employee, I am also going to work.... and am the designated grocery shopper for the household. My work is very clean and I rarely see any one. The grocery store, however...... 😬😷3 -

Firstly, be safe.
And, I heard from a British dr (Dr. John Campbell... he has a YTube channel with daily updates) that CV began last year, hence the 19 in its name.
I never get sick, but was stuck in CA hotels doing interviews late last year (forget the mo exactly... Oct-Dec, I think) for 10-wks. I was that ill... fever/chills, hallucinations, severe coughing to the point that I could not speak. There were several families also stuck in the hotel, too ill to vacate or have housekeeping in for cleaning, same as me.
I got ill while in L.A., then moved out to Palm Springs (100-mi away), thinking the heat would do me good & that I was just worn down. That's where the other guests were ill, meaning, it wasn't 1 hotel but a region as they were already ill with the same when I arrived from L.A.
I'm wondering if that weren't CV (it was definitely some sort of brutal flu)... I've had the flu once as a kid & it didn't last that long. I've also never been ill to that magnitude for 10-wks, where I could barely get out of bed & had such severe hallucinations, it was frightening.2 -

We're all a mix of emotions at this point... those having to work/live with ill people, being in the forefront. I admire what you're doing & I do think some will have career decisions to make at the end of this long trial.
This sure is a taxing time, in every way it can be on mere humans. I can't offer anything but good thoughts & wishes sent your way.
Be well.1 -

Wow that's pretty intense and scary!!
I have had the flu before as well, and my fever lasted all of 1.5 days. I was mostly just tired for a week and then fine. I don't usually get sick outside a normal cold and maybe a small cough due to congestion....
That must have been scary for everyone at that hotel. Staff and all the people who were sick. But yeah, what if that was it and a lot of us are freaking out over a virus we already had and are no longer susceptible to? But then again..... what if it wasn't?
I think that unknown has us all paranoid.....
PS - so glad you are feeling much better. ❤1 -

TYVM, I'm fine & fortunately, rarely get ill.
Last night I read that S Korea & China are reporting 60-100 cases each of people who've become re-infected with the virus (that's only from those patients who were tested & diagnosed once before), so who knows how all this will manifest & end. Surely there are more, who may not have even been tested, but recovered & are ill again.
In my uneducated opinion, I guess the best course of action is only to go out if direly necessary (essential food/meds/work) & stay the Valhalla inside for a month or more so we can all stop spreading or catching the virus. Each day, more are infected... it takes 4-5 days for most to manifest symptoms & another week before they're in the height of symptoms, according to Dr. John Campbell (he's got a YTube channel).
I've even stopped walking outside, even though few are out & about. Besides, I don't have a mask & have no idea where they'd be in stock at this late date... & last week when I went to the market without one, the hostility was so severe, I thought they'd chase me to my car with sticks.
I plan to just stay indoors, going onto my patio for a bit of fresh air now & again & waiting 'til I run out of food before I venture out... that's a month.
Stay safe.2 -

Went to the grocery store. I went to a different one than normal..... same store, different location.
It was creepy. I won't be going back there. I have never felt creeped out there before but wow...... 😳
No one was talking. No phone conversations, no kids, no chatting, nothing. People in masks rushing around following the arrows on the floor for the right way to go. None of the other locations had arrows!! I thought I was gonna get yelled at or kicked out cuz I went the wrong way..... 😬

I haven't seen the inside of a grocery store (or any store) for three weeks. I guess this is what I have to look forward to? 🙁 Life just doesn't feel real at the moment. I feel like I'm living in a bad dream I can't wake up from.4 -
