The General Discussion Thread

Okay this makes no sense to me. Here we have an article talking about how the governor of New Jersey is upset people are listening to the stay at home order

https://www.nj.com/coronavirus/2020/03/nj-gov-really-damned-unhappy-about-people-violating-coronavirus-lockdown-expect-crackdown.html

Except we have this part:

"Under Murphy’s order, social gatherings of any size are banned in the state. People are not allowed to gather in groups and should practice social distancing.

Those exempted from the stay-at-home order include health-care workers, law enforcement, emergency responders, members of the media, some federal officials, people who assist low-income residents (such as food bank workers), and those who need to get to work at businesses allowed to remain open.

Otherwise, people can leave the house only for essential needs (such as groceries, food, or medicine), to visit family and close friends, or to seek medical attention. You can also go outside for walks or exercise. But in all circumstances, Murphy said people should practice social distancing."

This makes no sense. Visiting friends and family are "essential" needs? Really? When you can talk to them on the phone, text with them, talk with them on social media, video chat with them, etc? Really New Jersey?

Did he put some gloves on?

Yes thankfully. That’s something at least.

No it doesn’t do deliveries 🙁

I just had both bandages changed. So one bandage had blood on it and the other had some other kind of discharge, but no blood.

The big chain pharmacies usually do deliveries. I'm gonna start getting mine from Osco delivered for the remainder of this crisis. This way I only have to venture out for groceries.

U should look into switching ur dads medications to a pharmacy that does deliver. Cuz even if u or ur sister had gone u could get the virus. And due to your ages u guys might be fine, but u could pass it onto someone elderly.

Okay update I'm not sure I do have coronavirus, I still haven't developed a cough

But I do have a persistent high temp and shortness of breath so idk

The new Car Seat Headrest is sounding positively mundane

They do say not everyone develops all symptoms so you could still have it. Have u called 111?

Someone on my Facebook, who chooses to be homeless, is complaining about everywhere being closed and they have to poop. So they are pooping in the Walmart parking lot.

Is that a crime?
