I am wondering what, if any, measures are you personally taking in your personal life to help restrict the movement of the virus...

for instance:

Are you staying home 24/7, day after day, leaving the house only to go food shopping or other necessities?   

When you encounter another person are you keeping at least 2m distance away?

Washing your hands several times a day?

Not that it matters with respect to our efforts, but do you believe those numbers?  They seem awfully low to me.  Does anyone believe those numbers?  It is pretty easy to keep your numbers low if you just chuck your dead into a trench without determining a cause of death.

They are way smarter than you or me when it comes to predicting what COVID 19 will or will not do. On top of that, COVID 19 has spread to every country on the earth in a matter of months. It is highly contagious, and it is beyond me how anyone at this point could think otherwise. We have seen what it has done not only in China but in Italy, Spain, and Iran. At this point, you have to be willfully ignorant or unbelievably arrogant to think the same can't happen in the USA. The USA is well on track to become one of the hardest hit. I do not doubt though that the black knight is impervious to truth or reason.

Still, it's my opinion that the right is far worse about being hostile to any skilled knowledge that would challenge their political ideology. It's especially striking in this COVID-19 crisis. The outright rejection of expert knowledge and opinion only because it does not reflect favorably on Trump is pretty astounding.

Go hide in your corner, wrap yourself in Saran Wrap,  and then criticize everyone else around you who doesn't wear gloves, a mask, and a space suit when out in Public.  

I really couldn't care less.  I don't have the luxury that you have of having sucked the tit of gov't i.e. taxpayers paying your way through life, and now having the taxpayers pay your way through your retirement, while you sit on a couch watching Netflix, while other people in society work to pay all of your bills for the next 30 friggin' years.

You could say thanks a lot guys and be done with it.

Let me just beat you to the punch and say "You are welcome"..
