    The fact that so many people are asymptomatic, is exactly why i believe this is being overblown.

    I just called the pharmacy where I get my prescriptions filled. As I expected no masks. All sold out. I have seen instructions online how to make one but I don't have some of the materials. Would have to go out and buy them at a Walmart or Home Depot. I don't even have a bandanna since I'm not in the business of robbing banks or 7-11's.

    No, you are missing the point on that all together. That is exactly the problem and why this can stick around and keep killing for a very very long time. And it is what will cause it to mutate into an even more deadly version like the spanish flu.

    The spanish flu killed the old and most likely the first time, in the second wave after the summer it killed kids and healthy people mostly. If we just do nothing this thing continues to spread and spread, and with that it has the greater chance at sticking around for next season.

    Sure .. it’s being o
    Sure .. it’s being overblown in the Media, especially from my point of view. I live in the sticks, and the potential is low. BUT, preventing the spread to vulnerable folk is the goal. That’s where MASK come in.

    Can we not get big plastic balls out to walk around in outside. I have seen this as some sort of weird sport, I want everyone to have one. #live_like_hamsters

    Read an article out of Australia where a man and woman were fined 2k for sitting in their car in an open space. That is what's coming to city near you. But it looks like most people are ok with being imprisoned by their government because they want fresh air.
