Coronavirus Concern Up

[CrealCritter]

The whole idea was to flatten the curve. We have done that. We will start the economy back up, and I suppose cases will start climbing again. I guess we’ll see. But we can’t let people’s whole lives crash and fall apart around them.

I seems to me that <<<some>>> don't want to start up the economy in their states, they want it crash and burn. I live in one of those states.

The media is so stupid!

I've pretty much had it with the media, enough is enough! I think I watch old movies and remove all media links from my web browser, starting now.

You just now getting around to that, CC? Did that many years ago and it's wonderful not to have all that static in one's life.

This is exactly right. Flattening the curve since it was such a new and unknown virus, with such extreme numbers so fast in China and Italy that scared the bejesus out of everyone... made some sense. However, the longer we "stay inside" the less air and sunlight we get the faster we weaken our existing immune systems...... there will be much worse effects if we keep the "shelter in place" attitudes and continue to lose our own bodies immune responses, and our mental health and even physical health declines.

There will be some increase, but I am thinking that a slight uptick now and then the summer and natural UV and vitamin D effects, will also help others have some immune response and this fall will not be nearly as bad and will probably wind up no worse than the "regular flu". I think we will see that when the numbers are in, that this will be no worse, and maybe not even as bad as a normal flu year. The thing is, it has targeted a more specific group of people..... most with other health issues/ compromises..... and that naturally falls into an older population also.

SADLY, NATURE finds a way to thin the herd. We cannot keep on adding to the human population, without another type of "pandemic" coming along. Be it natural like this virus, or a war of some sort.....

There is definitely stupidity out there - but it wasn't the media who suggested injecting disinfectant into the body!

I like to give people the benefit of doubt. But when they repeate being stupid over and over again. Yep they truly are stupid. Sadly you just can't fix STUPID!

Cocoa. It stores well. LOL

Yeah, have about 3 or 4 containers of that plus several Duncan Hines dark choco brownie mixes...I like the dark chocolate chips to eat, rather than a candy bar.

be very careful with baking mixes; if they absorb any moisture it can cause bacteria to grow.

Britesea, would it be safe to freeze them? I freeze my flour and box cereal.
