My dad is 79. he admits that he has only a few years left,if that. Tough old coot will outlive us all..BUT,,He says if he cant see his grandson play baseball and basketball and hug him,then what good does it do to stay alive? I know this is a tough view,but some people have said they wouldn't go near a ball park. IF we are all staying at home and when the cash runs out,what do we do for food? The government cant keep sending checks to help us get by. It is easy for people who have money pr a job that pays them regardless to say stay inside and tell other people NOT to get out..It is hard for people to look at thier family and say we have 3 cans of food left but I cant go to work because of this virus,,,Sure I know if you get it you could die,,Some people think if their life is taken away from them they are dead anyway...I know this is a selfish look but no one here has offered to pay my bills ,and I dont want anyone to die,but what is the point when my son looks at me and says "dad,,do we have anything to eat?'and my response is "no son,im trying to keep you and other people alive." Just curious what your breaking point is? And no,,This was not a real conversation at my house but it is being had in houses ALL over the world.

I think when people can get tested, we can get back to work. Until that happens, we can't.

Every grocery store near me is hiring right now if anyone needs money and if you don't want to work there, the government will pay you about $3k per month to stay home.

My outlook is far sooner than it was.

Sadly, though......we are still too much in the dark.

I agree,,But i think every day the sun shines its getting closer and closer to peaking and going the other way,,AND for you political wizards,,No ,,dont mean it will die in warm weather,,mean every day we are alive is one day closer to a cure.
