Amen to remaining rational!!!!!!!

[Farmall]

Hey John ,were all in this together so we all benefit from any directive that provides for us all walking out the same door when it’s over. You’ve got a leg up already.

[JohnEmad]

Thanks Farmall,
I can get on rants sometime but hope my perspectives are useful.
Hope I am dead wrong about all this and we all wake up having had a collective bad dream.
In the meantime I think my fingers want to roll another one.. Cheers!

JohnEmad Here's what 'Hi!' can do.
Greeted myself to a new neighbor while getting on the elevator. Asked if he was good with Dabber on the ride. No problem. Chatted to the fourth floor. And a second time. The third time, he was carrying a box of stuff. Said he got laid off but was still chipper. He reached in and handed me two big boxes of Kleenex and three dozen cookies from Costco. He came by to drop off a couple boxes to my dope growing neighbors. He and his wife, Ricky and Dianna, those are their names. R and D stopped by to tell me that D worked for some grocery and sundry organization. They would be bringing me stuff while the C-19 is going on and groceries will be scarce. Not sure how much or what.
In our chat, he said I'm a decent guy for introducing myself and the way I treat Dabber. I've said hi to D without knowing who she was. Said I had to at least introduce my myself to my neighbors. Some are put off by my hair, beard, and dog. Until they get to know me. Kids love Dabber and I hear 'Hi, Dabber!' and 'Hi, neighbor!'
I shared cookies with neighbors. Most will have to go to neighbors or Gingerbeard will become Gingerbeard the Larger.

JohnEmad. You have made several really powerful comments on this virus almost as the voice of reason... I honestly appreciate those thoughts

[JohnEmad]

Handshake? really?
Being from a small community may seem safe but anyone who travels can bring it around and start the cycle.
My wife and I are staying in touch by phone or computer and self isolating.
I am far more concerned that I could be the carrier resulting in the death of a friend or family member then dying myself.
Stay safe and yes why not a little high to help pass the time.

It's not completely possible nor probable I heard or am making up that suburban neighborhoods are having teenagers arrested for toilet papering houses. Stores are only selling single tissue paper products, like napkins, to minors. You have to be over 21 and not have a violent criminal conviction to buy 2 rolls at a time.

We don't really have a defense built up from one infection. The percentage is approximate but I get my info from the CDC and the WHO. The shit on Facebook is hilarious and most bullshit. Best stoned and wash your hands and bong often and after every handshake and shared bong session.

[StillHigh1982]

I am confused now......50% easier to catch a virus after already having the antibodies in your system that were built while beating it the first time. All this hysteria saddens me. This is serious but all the misinformation is turning it into a crisis. We are all fine. Some of us will get sick, the vast majority will have no more complications than any other respiratory infection we have had. Some of us are more vulnerable, and those are who we should be worried about. The hygiene and social distance is all most of us can do physically but one more thing we could all do to ease the situation is to stop panicking and stop spreading the misinformation. Be educated, be rational, and be calm. Oh yeah, also be stoned.

[Jordann]

Planes are starting to leave China like business as usual. Going to spread a second wave of the virus. And for people that get cured. It's 50 percent easier to get infected again and the same percent more likely to die from it. China will have a second wave of the virus, just wait and watch.

[Gingerbeard]

Wait. Damn. I just talked about the chicken soup thing.

[Gingerbeard]

I'm going to raise chickens in my 2x3 tent and grow noodles on my balcony. I will own you chicken eating, noodle sucking, soup base drinking, government drones. Your last can will be worth a million bucks. One noodle strand and an un-de-marrowed wing bone. Get me? Bones with the marrow still in? Do chickens have marrow or are they like real birds and have hollow wings? Well, you better have a strong first born child that works hard if you want to do business with me, friend alltatup. Want a topless tin can? Not even my first born will get a hand on those. Kids under 2 can have a half foot of noodle for free and have a free lick of a chicken neck bone. A community chicken neck bone.
I need a chicken soup recipe. The first kid who brings me a chicken soup recipe gets a whole quarter chicken for his family.

China propaganda it's not true they say what you want to hear.

[SoOrbudgal]

China does not tell the truth. They print only what fuels there economy and it's in the toilet right now.

[StillHigh1982]

Hell yes alltatup. Well put.
