April 30th?? It makes 3 weeks here in the UK look good in comparison.
@TechFan90 why a civil war, that's crazy. People have suffered enough from the Coronvavirus. You guys should have faith in your government. We do! They have emergency grants to help people. Everyone should stop being greedy and stay home

@snofan Trump said he ordered a million units of the malaria pills.

@RadiantRuby the emergency grants aren't going to reach low paid workers quick enough. Staying home is fine just so long as he lets us out in 3 weeks. If after 3 weeks, we have done what he wanted and it still hasn't worked, then we should go back to the old plan and let a lot of people catch it quickly and then it will be over a lot quicker too. Yes our NHS won't be able to cope but it doesn't make a difference if this plan doesn't work. It is us Mellennials that are being victimised the most.

We've got lock down in the UK now, everbodys except key workers.
It's common sense!
SimplyTracie · 26-30, F
@Harriet03 True.
I am Canadian but our premiers and PM are considering similar measures because apparently expecting grown adults not to behave like rebellious 13 year olds is too much to ask.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow
A lot of adults in USA are no different.
@SimplyTracie Fortunately we haven't had a fiasco on the level of Spring break.
If these terms were properly defined, politicians would be home in their footie pjs.
SimplyTracie · 26-30, F
@Mamapolo2016 Hahahah 😂
Rutterman · 46-50, M
We were ordered to do the same by my state's governor.

My job actually is considered "essential" because it's health-care related. Fortunately, I'm able to work from home.
SimplyTracie · 26-30, F
@Rutterman And very deserving I’m sure. 😊
Rutterman · 46-50, M
@SimplyTracie Very nice of you to say so. Thank you. 🙂
SimplyTracie · 26-30, F
@Rutterman It’s how I feel 🤗
I´d say that is the right thing to do.

I can do my work from home.

Kudos to the Hawaiian Governor.

The bill of rights in the constitution @SimplyTracie
SimplyTracie · 26-30, F
@Muthafukajones We’re abandoning our Bill Of Rights? How is that?
Muthafukajones · 46-50, M
Everything in it is being abandoned @SimplyTracie

Already laid off Friday. No choice but to stay home since everything except grocery stores, pharmacies and gas stations are open
SimplyTracie · 26-30, F
@SW-User I’m sure you have lots to keep you busy.
SW-User
@SimplyTracie lol, not really. Watching my TV and movie collection and SW. 😂
basilfawlty89 · 31-35, M
We're on lockdown from Thursday. They're gonna use the military and police to keep us in our houses, we can only go out for essential items. I understand the reasoning, but it seems a bit authoritarian.
basilfawlty89 · 31-35, M
@SW-User nice assumption. You really are a hateful little prick aren't you? Keep fighting that strawman and careful of anyone coughing around you, you might get a mild symptom. Whatever will you do then? I guess fish for more attention.

"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
@basilfawlty89 You might also have heard the expression. "Your rights end where my nose starts" Meaning you don't have a right to be a threat to other people's safety.
SW-User
@basilfawlty89 You have already assumed my nationality and my financial income and you are the one crying about assumptions 😂


Do you know what I find disgusting is that you care more about your ideology that people’s lives. You don’t really care about poor people otherwise you would want to keep them safe. You only care about saying buzz words to flatter your own shallow ego.
Everyone is hit especially those in their 20s that vape because their lungs are effed up,

Retirement is considered non-essential...
Our Gov did the same thing. In Michigan we are ordered to "stay home" for all non essential workers.
We are both retired, and since we are in the high risk category.. we were already practicing voluntary isolation before the order.
3 weeks mandated here..
I live in the second most hot-spot (county) in Michigan, just behind Detroit, so we are extra careful when we have to go outside for essentials.
Latex gloves and my shop masks.. We wipe down with clorox wipes after being in a store and before getting into the car. We have a tea/drink that nurses use to ward off the flu that we stocked up on before this blew up..

I hope many will not realize how wonderful retirement is and can be and will be looking forward to it..

STAY HOME AND STAY SAFE
SimplyTracie · 26-30, F
@polyandrym66 Another benefit is you get a paycheck and don’t gotta go to work. Right?
polyandrym66 · 70-79, M
@SimplyTracie YUP.. I get a social security check each month that keeps me at the poverty level... A result of my payroll taxes all the years I worked..
SimplyTracie · 26-30, F
@polyandrym66 Good lawd. 🧐
Dlrannie · 31-35, F
Follow their advice - the U.K. is essentially locked down as of yesterday
Dlrannie · 31-35, F
@TJNewton That’s all very mysterious- if they can’t sort it soon it might be best to set up a whole new account. ❤️💚💕🧡💖💙😘😘
TJNewton · M
@Dlrannie It happened once before jessa sorted it out but i cant remember what i had to do hoping she will get in touch today 🐦️💖🐦️💖🐦️😘😘😘😘😘
Dlrannie · 31-35, F

@SW-User I think we can exercise at home if we’re 5% creative. Wouldn’t you agree?

@SW-User No answer necessary.
Isn’t it sad that trump said everyone can go to church on Easter. Like he is the “chosen one” to test God. 🤨
@SimplyTracie he could at least wait until he is doing time after his term!
SimplyTracie · 26-30, F
@Aliveshock He could huh? 😂
@SimplyTracie
Word is that he is using a clone at the news conference.

Not really. And there is plenty of things I can work on from home.
SimplyTracie · 26-30, F
@Danez Catch up on your to-do list?

@SW-User schools are cancelled,dont worry the government is still paying your wages

@RadiantRuby They're not here. They're open to keyworkers children.
My business is located on the same property as my house. We don't allow visitors (we often do proprietary work), so it really wouldn't affect me much.
SimplyTracie · 26-30, F
@Threepio Like work at home?
@SimplyTracie Yep. But the business has it's own building.

Got tired of leasing a commercial property and built our own building on our own property about 20 years ago. My commute is 25 feet or so.... and everything we make is shipped by the postal system...
SimplyTracie · 26-30, F
@Threepio Cool 😎
SW-User
I work in healthcare so I still have a job to go to.
SimplyTracie · 26-30, F
@SW-User I would have thought you would have more due to the current health situation.
SW-User
@SimplyTracie A lot of people are just staying home and coming to the clinic only if it's something particularly serious or important, like Coronavirus testing.
SimplyTracie · 26-30, F
@SW-User That’s a good sign that people don’t feel they need to be tested.
snofan · M
My job is not essential, and our whole country is going into full lock down in 30 hours.
SimplyTracie · 26-30, F
@snofan How long before someone makes a vaccine?
snofan · M
@SimplyTracie 🤷‍♂️ At the moment it's for 4 weeks, but can be extended indefinitely as and if needed.
AceWarbringer · 36-40, M
Yup. Power plant. Keeping the lights on for ya.
SimplyTracie · 26-30, F
@AceWarbringer Awesome. 😊
But are you allowed to shop?
SimplyTracie · 26-30, F
@TheSirfurryanimalWales Yes gotta buy food. Hardware stores are open too so you can buy plumbing stuff if your toilet gets stuck.
HannahSky · F
I'm under orders, staying put.
SimplyTracie · 26-30, F
@HannahSky Staying safe at the same time. 😊
Carazaa · F
I work full time, it’s essential!
SimplyTracie · 26-30, F
@Carazaa What’s your job?
Rickg · 31-35, M
SimplyTracie · 26-30, F
@Rickg Awesome. Stay safe though
Rickg · 31-35, M
A little hard when they don’t even issue me with proper PPE
But I try my best @SimplyTracie
SimplyTracie · 26-30, F
@Rickg Be wise. That’s about all you can do.
HeyRouben · 41-45, M
Of course!
vetguy1991 · 51-55, M
TJNewton · M

SimplyTracie · 26-30, F

TJNewton · M
