Yesterday RI announced that any travelers coming from new york must undergo a mandatory 14 day isolation period. The gov said troopers would be on the border pulling over cars with new york plates to splain it and get contact information.

South kingston, where a lot of southern waterfront properties are, announced $500 fines for any visitors out in public.

I have been on lockdown for 2 weeks. i got enough basic gear for another 8 to 12.

My wife cares for the elderly...anything i can do to prevent it from getting there is the best thing i can do...i retired Jan 31.

Man my 14 year old is pissed that school started on Monday and i am the teacher...no bullshit accepted here son...and i can say that :D

I live in Canada. If you guys do not figure your shit out this will go on until Christmas.

China and Russia are ahead of it now because you have to get jail people that do not comply..

What i have realized is that up here the stupid crosses all politicaly scopes...it is not like the flu...it is BRUTAL on the elderly.

17% of those 70 and up that get it DIE...

And do not listen to mr Trump...social distance...self isolate where possible....i am not a doctor but i find copious amounts of cannabis help.

For your own mental health avoid the news but once or twice a day. Bang your spouse or lover.

We can do this.

In the grand scheme of things it sure makes petty shit seem so small. I will post more occasionally in my journal.

Just be aware, if you do come down with symptoms, THC has been shown to suppress your immune system. Not normally an issue, but when fighting a potentially life threatening illness, every little bit helps.

On the other hand, CBD is believed to help. Apparently it slows down the lifecycle of the virus and it doesn't hit you as hard.

the death rate is not limited to 70+. A significant number of people 30-50 will also die, though not in the numbers for the over 70 set. Still, a lot will die numerically.

But beyond that, a high percentage of those younger people who get the disease and recover will suffer permanent lung damage. The scarring is significant. It will affect them throughout their lives.

Hospitalization rates show roughly 40% of people admitted are under 50. Those are the people who will have life long scars from this. That is a lot of people.
