dude, in my state, Illinois, 12 million plus people and 1300 have this thing. 12 died. do the math. Do you think they share this when they have their daily chats? nope. liars and dictators all of them, I care not the party. fk them all. I'm fairly confident that people would say, huh?I am over 60. I shall not comply, nor should you.Thought experiment:
If you were 60, what would you do in the face of this crisis ?
I would:
1. Tell the country to go back to work.
2. Help me isolate myself by using common sense.
3. I would not go shopping. I'd ask someone to do it for me....maybe using gloves.
4. I would not want people in my home unless necessary.
5. I would get outside as much as possible and breath fresh air (unless I lived in L.A.).
What would you do.
I’m over 60 and I play bar music for a living. When I’m not at work I stay away from people as much as I can anyway. Right now I’ve had about two months of work canceled. Good thing I kept some reserve in the bank.Thought experiment:

I thought that's what made america america. the fact we have politicians telling us what to do says it all for me. fk them. been saying that since last Sunday. fk these pukes. this is america, you don't have to follow me, or do as I do, you do what you feel is good for you. Why is it someone thinks they get to tell others what to do? that isn't our country.good point>>>I prefer a more natural/holistic approach to health and a belief in 'Let your food be your medicine and medicine be your food'.
~S~
Yep, healthy food with high nutritional values are highly important...….that also includes healthy animal fats as well. But that is still only a part of the picture. Mind, body and spirit all work together when it comes to overall health.
I want to commend your attitude and I'm very sorry for the illnesses and conditions you have suffered.
There are a LOT of people out there now all over the internet going wild saying they have this and that condition or disorder so everyone must do this or that to sustain their life.
Well.
That's only going to fly, ethically and morally, for so long and into so many venues. For example, giving up leisure activities such as concerts, beach trips and sporting events: absolutely. Giving up our jobs and livelihoods and crashing the economy--I'm not so sure. Please do not think I'm saying your life is meaningless or worthless. I'm just saying all these fragile or ill people saying "you're putting me at risk!" do not understand ALL the factors that go into complex societal decisions like this when they say this.
One last thing. Being inconvenienced to sustain life--maybe after this is over, we should revisit the discussion, and open up abortion again. Since we as a society have decided it's worthwhile to be inconvenienced to sustain life.
I'm not really sure just what you are trying to say...…...what I do for me, is just that. My choices for my life. But a healthy diet, fresh air, exercise, reduce stress, positive thinking and spiritual or belief system...….isn't going to hurt anyone. But I'm not trying to tell anyone else what they should or shouldn't do. If you or anyone, doesn't agree or choose those things and prefer other methods and lifestyle......by all means. That's your choice.
No need to be sorry for me, I'm not.....whatever has ever happened to me, or even the choices I've made are a part of me & my life and who I am. I'm not fragile and for the most part not ill and I'm sure as hell not claiming anyone is putting me at risk of anything. I am at a higher risk because of past health issues, some were contributed by my own choices, but I'm not blaming anyone else. Knowing my risks, I already take measures to keep me safe, long before this outbreak. It's become a part of my life, so I don't really have to change anything just because of this or any virus. Other than maybe curtail a few unnecessary trips in public. Which now that Washington state has the stay at home order, isn't going to be too hard to do. I don't normally galivant around town or elsewhere anyway.
This thread is about 'what would you say if you were over 60' and it went on to include what you'd do or do differently because of Covid19...or maybe I should say 'my understanding' of the progression of the thread topic. And I, like many others included their input...of what THEY would do or say.
So where's your's??? This isn't about abortion, so maybe you are in the wrong thread???
….and NO I'm not trying to pick a fight here just trying to clarify any possible misunderstandings.
I think 90% of us know this. I'm doing nothing different than I ever have done, except get to go out to dinner at my favorite restaurants. thanks to dictators.I would think the point would be to stop the spread of the virus......so everything can get back to 'normal'. Unfortunately about the only way to do that would be to shut everything down and people in their homes for 2 weeks to get this under control...….instead of tip toeing around it, while it continues to spread, the situation continues to get worse, jobs, economy and the people continue to decline and it gets further out of control.
I'm 60, disabled, and high risk...….was born with under developed lungs, have smoked for 48 years, as a kid had chronic bronchitis, double walking pneumonia and other similar health issues......not to mention degenerative bone disease, especially in my lumbar and a Triple Negative Breast cancer survivor........but other than all that I'm fine. Though I am having allergy issues with sinus's and runny nose.
I'm not worried about this virus anymore than any other virus or flu. I've never had a flu shot because I don't see the point of getting one that may not stop me from catching it anyway. Those vaccines are produced and ready for market on the assumption it will help whatever strain actually hits that year, long before an outbreak actually occurs. Like a few years ago, flu shots were being given out, but the strain that actually hit was totally different and the shots were ineffective...…..and it would take over a year to produce the correct vaccine for that strain, which would be too late. Sorry, but I'm not a pin cushion for pharma profits.
Now....having said all that? Knowing my risks with any contagion whether it be Covid this year, or any flu any year AND because of having been a caregiver, it's automatic for me to wash my hands and other similar precautions to avoid spreading germs. I prefer a more natural/holistic approach to health and a belief in 'Let your food be your medicine and medicine be your food'. Spring is here with summer right around the corner, and I'd rather spend my time outside than indoors anyday….weather permitting and sometimes that doesn't stop me either.
If I do catch this Covid, I doubt I'll know it, cause I rarely go to the Dr and I'll do what I normally would when sick. If all that fails, whether I live or die, is not my call and if I do die, then it will be my time to do so.
So in other words...…what would I do? or what would I do differently??? Not a damn thing really
You sound at high risk and it seems our resources should be pointed at preventing you from catching it.
My 30 year old neighbors should be working to support their kids.
We can both protect you and let them work.
Of course I'm high risk...….EVERY YEAR AND EVERY VIRUS......not just this one. What I was trying to convey was that I already know my risks and already take measures to prevent catching whatever is out there. So I won't be doing much, if anything differently with Covid vs any other strain of contagion.
I figure I'll be ok and if not, I've made my peace with that as well.
BUT in order to get the youngins back to work and life back to whatever normal is...….I think we probably should just bite the bullet so to speak and shut down for a couple weeks to get ahead and in control of this...….so life can get back to normal sooner, than keep dragging our butts about it letting the virus spread further. IOW, life goes back to normal, kids back to school & work in 2 weeks and it's done......OR keep lagging and drag it out for months......see what I'm saying???
you didn't do that before? they didn't give you instructions until now? wow.Exactly what the medical experts suggest I do.Thought experiment:
If you were 60, what would you do in the face of this crisis ?
I would:
1. Tell the country to go back to work.

Your honor, I rest my case.I could sit on the toilet, make a hefty deposit, bring it to life and my hot stinking turd would STILL be smarter than your dumb ass.I'm smarter than you'll ever be.

You almost get it...except that it's going to take a minimum 5 weeks...not 2I would think the point would be to stop the spread of the virus......so everything can get back to 'normal'.

A top House Republican is pushing back against President Donald Trump’s apparent willingness to defy medical experts and prematurely urge businesses to reopen, even as the coronavirus pandemic escalates in the United States.We're being played. Dying from poverty is a much higher probability than this wuhan flu. I don't believe the marxist Dims "chick math". They can't even count how many fucking heads are under a sign in a cornfield.
I'm 62 and today I played golf on a beautiful day. I went to the drug store to get flonase for my allergies. I used hand sanitizer when I entered the store. I stayed away from people and they stayed away from me. It sickens me to see the country brought to it's knees by what I consider an over reaction to a god damned cold virus.
Again, your call.
Overreaction or not....I just wonder why the whole fucking country has to hide when it is the elderly that are the most vulnerable.
If I Lived next to a 60 year old, I'd offer to do groceries, do errands (all with gloves and disinfectant.
Don't know how that would not be the same as today.
But, the coutnry would be working......

“There will be no normally functioning economy if our hospitals are overwhelmed and thousands of Americans of all ages, including our doctors and nurses, lay dying because we have failed to do what’s necessary to stop the virus,” Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) tweeted Tuesday.
Is Liz friggin Cheney a "marxist Dim"?
Dan Patrick just said that if going back to work means granny dies...he's good with it
That's your lame excuse?Dan Patrick just said that if going back to work means granny dies...he's good with it
Granny's gonna likely die if this "novel" experiment of shutting down the country causes 2 decades of DEEP DEPRESSION... Maybe you ought to not REACT -- and ponder what's happening around you a bit more.. And see if POSSIBLY you can come up with an informed PERSONAL balance between the disease and the "political cure".... And MAYBE --- not mention Trump for just ONE POST during this crisis??
DA JOOOSSSS.... Aint no different.. It's the LOW mental energy way to live for conspiracy theorists and haters... That SIMPLE answer to ALL your problems...

Saw Texas Lt Gov Dan Patrick on Tucker last night.. He pretty much echoes my feelings about this.. It's a must watch for seniors or NEAR seniors...
This ad hoc experiment with the economy is scarier than the virus.. Because NO COUNTRY this size has ever pulled the "off switch" before.. We're messing with a tangible probability of doom...
WATCH....
