WHY Trump is and HAS BEEN doing the right thing in all this...
The first person in the US to be diagnosed with COVID-19 who had NOT travelled outside the United States was diagnosed on FEBRUARY 25, the DAY Mardi Gra took place.
Seriously? Ya'll want to blame Trump for letting you go to Mardi Gra? HOW IRRATIONAL!
How would it have sounded if he had got on live TV on FEB 24 and said, "There is a virus ravaging China right now. I closed the Borders to China in January because of it. There is a TRAVEL BAN in place. Therefore, it is not advisable for anyone to go to Mardi Gra!"
EVERYONE, including ME would have thought he'd lost his mind. I almost did when he finally DID.
Not any more.
So, to put this in perspective:
The FIRST person to contract the virus who was not travelling to or from the US was on February 25. The day Mardi Gra STARTED.
The first person to be diagnosed in NY was on March 2.
Let that sink in. There are over 175,000 in the US today, 3351 REPORTED in TX right now.
At the rate it is going, even with quarantine, there will be over 50 Million who have COVID 19 in 6 months. There were only 54 Million who had ALL the other flus combined during the last 6 months.
Trump is doing, and HAS BEEN doing the right thing....buying us time. Just think what the numbers would be WITHOUT the quarantine measures.

Not IF, but WHEN
1:48 PM on March 29, 2020
Texas now has 2564 Cases of Covid-19
The measures put into place by counties across Texas have slowed the numbers significantly. Texas dropped to number 12 from number 11 in the number of cases each state has.
There have been 36 deaths so far.
Roughly 54 Million people got the Flu this flu season with roughly 62,000 deaths. That is 6 months worth of data.
COVID-19 is new. In the beginning of this month alone, there were less than 100 cases in Texas. Without social distancing measures, the number of cases would have been 10X larger than they are, or more. Times 10 for each month of a regular flu season. You are looking at it encompassing ALL of Texas and then some. NO ONE would have been untouched by the COVID-19 virus.
So yes, Trump made the right call, and so has our local governments who are enacting stay at home measures.
If you want to see how bad it could get, just look at New York, who already has over 60,000 cases and is begging for help. Their hospitals are so over-run that organizations are pitching in to help provide more space for the sick. Trump just sent a Naval Hospital via ship to help out.
Most who get the virus, as with any other flu, will recover. But, about half of them will need help. This isn't about the numbers of people who will get it, this is about not overwhelming our hospitals and health centers during the progression.
If our hospitals are over capacitated, they will be FORCED to decide who and who not to treat. MORE people will die. Including those who have not been touched by the virus. For instance, a young mother of two comes in. She WAS healthy, strong, had a great long life ahead of her, but got the virus. Now the hospital is overstaffed. There is a terminally ill patient in a room that could save this girl. The hospital would probably have to chose to save her and let the terminally ill person die before his or her time. And THAT would be just the beginning. Soon, it would be older people who got the virus versus younger people who have more life ahead of them.
As it stands, yes, abortions outnumber the deaths. But if this happens, DEATH will be chosen by those who are not dying. So, because we choose LIFE, social distancing and stay at home measures are a MUST.
BTW, until a vaccine is made, be prepared to catch the virus. It isn't a matter of IF, but when. When you do, don't you want the BEST care the medical community has to offer? Or, is it worth living knowing someone else may have had to die for you to do so?

I am tired
Hello, World!
It's been crazy. People are hoarding everything at Walmart. Walmart is closing early now to keep stupid people at bay. The government is asking us to maintain "social distancing", EO's are preventing business as normal to help force people in this cause, the stock market is plummeting, and a virus is taking over the world!
I've purchased over $190 worth of stocks that are only worth $140 right now, but I'm determined that it can only get better!
I haven't had a day off in nearly two weeks at work, so the owner has given me two days off after I work tonight.
I can't sell Avon in person until all this craziness is over, so I'm depending on internet sales -- which isn't happening.
And, I don't even know if my job is going to be able to stay open until this crisis passes.
But, my "opportunist gene" is in full force right now. I'm looking for ways to benefit from all this. And, I'm praying that on the other side of this, I will be just fine.
Ya'll have a blessed day!

Coronavirus, Stocks, Internet Predators, Toilet Paper
Hello, World!
My trainee has been out sick, so it's just been me cooking at the Pitt Grill this week. I hope he's back by Monday!
Monday and Tuesday is supposed to be my days off. If I am allowed to keep those days off, I may be having Pizza and a movie with a friend.
I've been having trouble sleeping lately. I'll come home, sleep for 3 hours, then I have to get up to use the bathroom and let the dogs out. Then I can't sleep, so I stay up. Then I try to take a nap before work...
I've been getting about 4-5 hours sleep a day and it is starting to wear me down. Yesterday, I only got three.
So, this morning, after I got off work, I went to the store and bought me some Advil PM. It helped. I got up once to use the restroom, then went back to bed to finish sleeping. I got a full 8 hours! I needed it!
I made sure to take my vitamins today, too.
This Coronavirus scare has gotten out of hand. There is no toilet paper on the shelves. Why? What does toilet paper have to do with the Coronavirus? Seems to me that people should be buying bleach, not toilet paper!
And, the Stock Market has gone lower than it has EVER been due to this Coronavirus scare. Not sure what the Stock Market has to do with it, unless people are selling their stock thinking they are gonna die. Me, personally -- I'm looking at it as an opportunity. The stocks are going to go back up eventually. It's not going to crash because too many people aren't taking the scare seriously (as they shouldn't -- I mean, c'mon! It's just another virus. It only effects people who have low immune systems. JUST LIKE ANY OTHER VIRUS!) So, I'm buying all the stocks I can at the lowest price possible!
Today, one of my stocks went up from .55c/share to .88c/share. I own 10 shares of it. It was over a $3 gain.
I don't have much to invest, but I am investing SOMETHING every payday. I figure, by the time I retire, I should have a sizable nest egg if I do it right.
If anything, it should cushion me if I lose my job again. LOL
You would think, though, with people being so scared of this virus, they would stay home more. We've been REALLY busy at the Pitt Grill! But, don't worry, we wash our hands a LOT, and Luanne does a great job of bleaching all the booths and door handles every day. I even mop with bleach! And, all of our dishes are getting bleached!
Ya'll make sure you watch your babies! ESPECIALLY online! When they are online, they do not need privacy, they need GUIDANCE! There are a lot of monsters out there who use the internet to prowl on children -- and you don't know who they might be! It is heartbreaking to the victims and their families!
The election is getting interesting. The Democrats have no viable candidates, and it is doubtful the ones they have are worthy of beating Trump! JMO. But, if there is any doubt as to whether or not the Democrat mindset is socialist, just look at who is winning: Bernie is OPENLY socialist!
This election is not about corruption. It's about turning this country away from a free enterprise system. It's about taking the guts out of the Constitution. It's about turning it from a Republic to a Communist government.
Remember that when you go to the polls.
Have a blessed day!
