Just need to be patient and just wait and see. All we can do at this point. Safety is most important. Not only for you, but for the others you may interact with. Goal now for the entire world is to stop this from spreading. Many people are asymptomatic and are unaware they carry it. Then they spread it to others and the chain reaction happens. Many of us need to put certain desires aside right now to make sure we don’t cause any spread. Just wait and see.
I feel that personal responsibility is something that everyone needs to embrace.... and use caution and precautions whether you are going to the grocery store or on a trip internationally... Not just with virus but everyday... People - WASH YOUR HANDS!!!! -
My parents, my Dad is 81, and my mom 78, - I have made sure that they are not going out, I do the grocery shopping, and run errands for them. The only place that they are going is to the Doctors office, which they have to go to for their other health problems... I walk through the garage, and straight to the bathroom, to wash my hands, no hugging or kissing on them, which just kills me not to do... I wipe the grocery bags off with a Lysol wipes before bring them into the house... I am going to protect them the best that I can....
Things like here in the US, wearing mask, or gloves on subways, and public transportation, air planes... as well planes, trains, subway/metro cars, all forms of
public transportation needs to be cleaned several times daily, if you have ever ridden the subway in NYC, you know those cars are like a petri dish full of just gross stuff... We could take some lessons from the Japanese with keeping public transportation clean, and protect other's from us when we are sick.. That is the reason that the Japanese wear mask, not to protect themselves from us, but to protect everyone from them if they are sick and not feeling well...
Honestly you just can not just put a closed sign on the world... are we suppose to just quarantine the whole world... and for how long, weeks, months, years, ...this idea of just keep waiting and waiting is not helping anyone out... wait and see, wait and see, and you can't let the "what if's" rule the world...
This is not about desires it's about keeping the world up and running. Here in the US, our government is trying to help people by giving us a stimulus, instant unemployment for people effected by the closure of business, due to the virus...still for most people that will not be enough... Most countries are not going to do that for their citizens...what are they suppose to do and how are they going to take care of their families? There is a bigger picture that needs to looked at... the World's economy is at stake, and it must be stable...
My DD is laid off right now she works in the tourist industry, so she will get the instant unemployment, thankfully her DH works in a essential service company, so he is still working.... my grandson is in pre-K and at home with her... and the school are closed here... Yet the day care is still expecting payment, for next month... if they don't pay then they will give up his spot, so once they go back to school and day care, he will not have a spot - So how are they suppose to pay for something that they are not using, nor without her working can they pay for, yet you can see the day-cares side of it...they still need to pay bills, so that they can re-open when all this blow over... No-one is right or wrong... it just the way it is.
People need to be able to eat, feed their families and keep a roof over their families head... Most people live paycheck to paycheck, that is the reality of it...
It cost big money to do research, and so forth... Where is that money going to come from? Everyone is working on this, make no mistake that at some point the bill is going to come due...so who pay's that tab?
DH and I talk about this nightly... still hoping to go...
