Your Personal COVID-19 Story?

cjen, prayers for your son-in-law's father to recover.

PJ Stroh's report from his friend who works in a NYC hospital, the comparison of the chaotic staffing/workload situation to that of 9/11--that hits home.  Significant and alarming.   Hope your friend doesn't contract the virus, PJ.

  And she has the audacity to criticize the President.

Candy specifically asked...oh, never mind.

Kevin, YOU changed the direction of this topic - I replied to your posting...

I made a parenthetical comment within my post. You posted two long, unhinged rants that had nothing to do with the original topic. But feel free to use a Trump-style, childish false equivalence argument to excuse your bad behavior.

Sorry, everyone, let's hear some more about your personal experiences during this crisis. I'll try to ignore Miller, and you should, too. (Even when he responds to this post with yet another childish insult.)

As they say in court - you opened the door. Next time save your filthy descriptions for another posting.

Sigh...well, we got eight (counting my initial one) good posts that stayed on topic before the meltdown.  Thanks I guess that could be some sort of record.

Mark and black jack, I hope your kids come out OK.

Sorry Candy, David Miller can't control himself. We got some interesting stories before his meltdown, though.

Sorry also Candy. Kevin has not yet seen a posting that he could not infect with his filthy mouth and hatred.

We had another death yesterday, the 6th.  Man age 65, was in the hospital diagnosed with C-19, seemed to be recovering, was discharged home.  Died at home.   No other details.  That is scary, recovering then not.

Thank you Kevin and David Miller.
