I saw this mother and her kid coughing in the store and both made no effort to cover up their mouth. The ignorance out there is a big part of the problem.

I had a neighbor on my street that had it, he recovered, he was 72.

It's important to stop smoking and vaping and give your lungs the rest they need

Thanks to all the nurses and doctors on the front line and grocery employees. 👍🙏

I’m a home care nurse no one is talking about us and how do we protect ourselves out there with no protective equipment. 🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐

[davidbrasher]

Everyone so breezily talks about just staying home. But some of us have been lumped into the "essential worker" category, and we have to go out in public and work.

The fear made me think I was sick, I could feel it in my neck like a tension.

GOD BLESS OUR DOCTORS, NURSES, and OTHER HEALTHCARE WORKERS.

This is so hard for me as a hypochondriac. I have to feel like I’m dragging and hope it’s not a sickness. I am always on high alert and I have a hard time not having high anxiety. Pray for a miracle.

Stay at home? HAH TELL THAT TO MY EMPLOYER

The longer it takes people to honor the quarantines, the longer this quarantine is going to last.

Pollen falls like rain in the south. Covers everything in yellow dust, you can see it floating around in the air at times. So many people's lungs are already struggling and irritated.

[tandreasellers]

A man just died on Friday from this.... they called the doctor, went to urgent care and to the hospital twice. They literally let him die...

[briansung]

ER can be the most dangerous place to go now...

[celticman]

BBC video said a "dry cough" with nothing coming up.
I wish we could get accurate uniform information that we can all feel confident of!

[RB-rvqz]

Hey how about instead of having cars line up for hours to get tested. Why don’t we send a test packet to everybody by mail and then swab yourself then send it by mail to get the results?

[kellijohnson]

My own mother-in-law is a problem. At 88 she thinks she knows everything, and insists the whole world has lost its mind. She continues to go wherever she pleases, traveling from store to store, touching everything. My husband had to make the decision to stay away from her!! She had a mortal fit when he said he wouldn't visit, and she is NOT to come here.

[Ooops]

Mandatory throat punch to anyone not covering a cough

Unfortunately, this virus will be hard to diagnose without a legitimate test. Most people will react differently to the virus, and display different symptoms when having the same exact virus as another person. Take your vitamins, and try to stay healthy everyone!
