@TravelTime the amount of fear , and I would go as far to say hysteria, is off-the-charts.

Yes, so by that logic, all front line workers should live separate from their families. Then we will have no one to work the front lines and more people will die.
The smart ones are staying away from their family. I have suggested this from the beginning. Maybe visits somehow through plexiglass? t is the new reality at the moment.
Sad but at this moment in time the father could be providing the better home situation. Not easy but nothing is at the moment.It's sad that you could look into a Mother's eyes and tell her we're taking your child for something that "may" happen. And just where and when does it stop?
... My nephew is a firefighter and he is still working. He goes home every day to his wife and kids. Is he being unsafe? Is he putting his kids at risk?
From what I've read, he should, at a minimum, shed his clothes and shower, before any contact,
and yes, unless he's tested, they are at greater risk than others. These are unusual times.

You must appreciate all the fuss from your siblings. They are showing you that they love you.My siblings have decided I need to STAY at home. ALONE. Period. I have at least 2 major health issues and live In New Jersey. My siblings live 100 to 3000 miles from me. I am single. I went grocery shopping Wednesday last week (Senior Hours ONLY) and stocked up for a month plus. I wore my face mask and vinyl gloves. Changed & washed my clothes and showered afterwards.
My younger Texas sister decided I needed MORE Cable channels …. and added many more channels onto my cable account bill without asking. She is just looking out for me … not wanting me to be TOO isolated. And I figure being a TV junkie is better than overeating. And I was NOT interested in calling her out on this.
My siblings fear for my safety and their sanity …. NONE of them want to even try to take over my business if something happens to me. And my "Man Friday" of 20+ years …. he definitely does NOT want me sick … he does the heavy lifting work … I do the paper work and planning. (and my other siblings live in California, Nebraska and Maryland).
Its about keeping the kids safer. Nothing more. Anyone in NYC working the front lines is putting their family at risk anytime they go home.
Mass hysteria whipped up by click bait headlines that most don't bother to read the full article, let alone the supposed sources the article quotes. Bottom line the scientists/specialists are guessing on many things. And if the study doesn't bear out their prejudices then they ignore it. EVERY study/article I have been able to find postulate "airborne" transmission for example, but not a single one says if virus is viable, nor are any conducted in real world conditions-especially outside. An example of very mixed results on cloth "homemade" masks. Note the uncertainty https://www.livescience.com/are-face-masks-effective-reducing-coronavirus-spread.html Yet we are making policy based on sketchy evidence and thinking "its better than nothing" when that may not actually be the case.@TravelTime the amount of fear , and I would go as far to say hysteria, is off-the-charts.
Until you, or someone you love, gets the virus. I've had two friends so far lose family members to it. I'm tending to lean towards loss of liberty over loss of life.@Monykalyn I’m with you 100%. I’m much more fearful about the loss of liberty right now than the virus itself.
I would agree with you. But which is, and which isn't? I think some of the government overreach comes from people not being sensible so rules and polices get put into place. I'm not sure what risks I'm willing to take.@Luanne I would argue that some of the of gov't overreach we are seeing isn't saving any lives.
And where does it end? Flu is usually deadlier to kids-should the kids be removed during flu season? 125 kid deaths from flu vs 6 from CV-19. Every life is precious, but I guess not with the "devil you know"...Should teachers no longer have kids of their own-after all they are exposed to those lil germ factories daily. No more daycare centers either-the person running it may possibly at some time have a contagion at some point may harm a child. See how ridiculous this gets?Until you, or someone you love, gets the virus. I've had two friends so far lose family members to it. I'm tending to lean towards loss of liberty over loss of life.
Yes, it is getting ridiculous and I'm sorry that I expressed my opinion.And where does it end?

please don't be sorry! But do be aware of losing civil liberties-sooner or later it will come for you too. Well wishes to youYes, it is getting ridiculous and I'm sorry that I expressed my opinion.
Please let some one know how to run your business just in case of an emergency incident. Please give someone medical power of attorney and power of attorney to run your business and to access your bank accounts to pay your bills and employees.
