Coronavirus - Direct Impact on You?

Bobby Hebert Sr. also died from COVID-19

Louisville WR Corey Lewis’ dad also passed away from it. He was 43.

It's getting harder to tell one day of the week from another.

I'm retired and in excellent health. Completed my basement remodel early March but have had to delay TV and furniture shopping until this thing passes. Crap! Have reduced going out for groceries to every 7-10 days. Well stocked with booz. I continue to avoid visiting people but I think I'll survive.

Whatever your situation is, stay inside as much as possible. I'm confident May will looking much better. Good luck to all!

Lol, yes. Yesterday I sent a message to a staff member saying I know it’s weekend, but is there a difference now in a weekday and a weekend day?

usually when your gout flares up.

April is the cruelest month

Who would win this race?

A covered wagon driven by 4 oxen on the Oregon trail in the 1840s, or me driving a new car with $2 gas and having to stop for a 14 day quarantine every time I cross a state line?

On the other hand - the air quality probably takes us back to the 1840s as well. So breath it in boys - while the air is clean and still cheap.

Keep posting. Soon you will be Cornoavision's next POTM and sure it will be at the height of covid terror in this country, but it is DRAFT MONTH BABY! That will be quite an honor. Incarcerated Bob told me the votes already in.

In my current profession as a teacher, I won't be in the classroom the reamainder of the school year since the governor ordered all schools closed in mid-march. We're doing the online teaching, which works, but it's just not the same. At least the kids are getting something out of and based upon the results coming back, they are doing the assignments. But, we remain on our normal contract and I've already signed my contract for next year. I'm glad I retired from the Border Patrol...too much direct exposure in the profession for the guys working today. But, I do have my pension coming in along with the teacher salary. My daughter, who is 29, works for a solar company in Scottsdale and they have her doing her job at home. My son is an officer in the Navy (graduated from U of Arizona in 2017 where he was in the Navy ROTC program) but his ship is currently drydocked in San Diego so he's doing base duty as a Lieutenant JG.

Mrs. Jaw and I workout every morning before I go on the online school (I have a nice home weightroom with a couple of treadmills), and after that I take care of those long overdo honeydos. We watch a lot of shows and movies...and we had a huge beer supply.

Phillip Rivers home schooling his kids

I will say now 3-4 weeks into this thing that this time in some ways has impacted me positively. I've been busier than ever running around doing errands and such for people in the community and has worked to bring about a positive image of me and the church I work at. We have had people calling from all over the country that have watched our services online and how much they appreciate them and want to be a part of them in the future.

We also are going to do something unique this Sunday with a Drive-In service where people stay in their cars and we transmit the entire service over the radio. So should be kind of a cool experience.

I work from home everyday anyway but now I have the family at home too. I miss the freedom to make my own decisions about what to do, and the lack of sporting events, but those are really a small price to pay. Right now I am fortunate enough to remain employed and me and my family are healthy.

I am most worried about what this is going to do to our economy in the long term. Short term it will be a mess.

I hope that we come out on the other side a better country and the sense of community is not lost once we are free to move about as we please. I also hope that the increased hygiene becomes a habit for everyone. Washing our hands is such an easy thing to do, we should continue even after COVUD-19 passes.

As for the Broncos and NFL I have a hard time believing that we will have international games or full stadiums for the full season. I guess we will see what happens.

We really need to get rid of the handshakes being the norm... We need to go to fist bumps from here on out.

We're local govt. and shut down for 3 weeks. School district is too, so kids are everywhere. I've been working from home all week, so I'm good.

I just hate visiting my folks because they're both in early 70's and mom and dad have some pretty serious issues, especially mom's uncontrolled (with many meds) asthma.

I know there's a lot of media hype, but whatever is necessary to flatten out the 'curve', I'm all for it.

My parents are both in their 70s, so my visits have been standing outside, talking through the door essentially. Sucks (and also haven't seen my brother's family with my two nieces since this started), but otherwise I'm a home-body anyway. This has destroyed my diet improvements I had made this year (only going to the store every few weeks, so perishables are a tough choice) and comfort eating has largely taken over. Working from home for the past 3 weeks too (but that has been cut back to 3 days a week....need that to bump back up or money will become an issue if this continues for a month or two longer).
