2 week Corona Vacation, Its officially affected me

California seems to have the most known cases of COVID-19 according to the news. Watching the 10 PM news now.  CA governor thinks half of all CA residents might get the virus.  But, California seems to have a left wingnut governor plus many residents who are left wingnuts.  As well as a huge homeless population.  I've seen many news stories about people in California complaining about the homeless urinating and defecating on the sidewalk, in the street, in residents' yards, in parks, etc.  Personally I think we're making more of this virus outbreak than it deserves.  Yes, the elderly and folks with serious health problems should stay home and limit any in person contact.  We should all stay home if we're sick.  Cover your cough, wash your hands, sanitize table and counter tops, stay clean, etc.  Common sense will go a long way toward limiting the spread of the virus.  The problem with that statement is that far too many of us have little or no common sense.  

My wife is hating it. She's a teacher and with schools closed she has "digital learning sessions" every morning where she has to be available on some program to answer questions then be available by email from 8am to 5pm. The big problem is the new farm is almost ready for chickens and our house isn't so we've moved in my parents basement for a few weeks. Well.... Their house is new and they don't have internet service yet which means she has to go to her mother's house. Boy does that make her a real peach. I've not helped the situation though. With the farm almost ready for birds I've been there till almost or after midnight for the past few days putting shavings and such. I agree it's blown way out of proportion. More people are affected by and die from the flu every year and this doesn't happen with that? People say it's because this is a different strand. How many years in a row now have we heard about "a different strand of flu virus"?

And all the things they're saying to do to help prevent are the same things we're taught as children. Wash hands, cover your mouth, stay home if you're sick. Goes to show common sense isn't common

**WOKE*** Below is what a police officer has said about what is going on in our country now.
I don’t want any comments on this, I’m just posting.
NOW WHAT THE COP SAID:
I try not to live under a rock, let’s be real. I’m a cop and see things that aren’t reported in media. However, I also try my best to pay attention to my surroundings and with that being said. Our Government is under attack from within. If you don’t believe so, then you probably also believe that this is the first time the Corona virus has been identified.
Think about what’s transpired over the last few months. The government has presented every possible demographic including a self proclaimed socialist as a democratic candidate because they fear something they can’t control.
The impeachment hoax failed and immediately Pelosi vowed to exhaust efforts in overthrowing Trump. If you currently can see this post then until last week you were living in the most thriving economy this nation has ever seen in my lifetime. Only due to the fact that the person in control couldn’t be bought.
If you think for one second this “pandemic” is not media driven, and controlled by the radical people in powerful places....well...go back to sleep under the rock you crawled out from. Oh, and go ahead at this point and click on my name and follow the steps to unfriend or unfollow me as well because you really aren’t going to like this.
This thing has killed less people in the same time frame then cigarettes, cancer, drunk driving, domestic violence, car crashes, cross stitching accidents (j/k on the last one but probably close), stabbings, overdoses, and please don’t get me started on abortion.
Wake up!!! This is what the beginning of socialism looks like! They are controlling what you buy...bc it’s what you think you need, where you go...bc it’s where they tell you not to go, and how to live...bc you now fear the very existence of anything outside of your home and control.
They are leading with fear. Causing you to panic like sheep.
They are crashing the stock market to run on a failing economy, because it’s all they have left. What is this saying to all of the countries that have opposed us for decades but, couldn’t defeat us?
It’s saying...biological war fare will make these idiots glued to CNN and every other liberal news source panic and run for the hills.
You don’t need hand sanitizer, toilet paper, and Lysol. You need common sense, a sense of direction, faith, a will to fight, and of course guns!
Now wash your hands and live the life they don’t want you to have!

THEN you have the FACT that Diane Feinstein and 4 other Democrats sold all their stocks a few hours before the big crash......coincidence??    I think NOT...

Our govt offices are closed to the public now. City employees have been given strict rules for person to person contact including off duty time. Were on the verge of working from home. As an inspector I have to assess every job site as to whether or not to enter. Occupied homes are a no go. New construction sites could have an infected person there and we don't know or they or the project can't afford to be off. Lotta stress.
