Kushner is the devils spawn. Hes a perfect fit for #45's family. Of course everything he says is also a lie. Believe NOTHING that these devils say!
To the person up thread who asked where we getting masks from. Search the internet and quite frankly take a chance. That's what we've been doing over here. DH is purchasing them whenever he can grab em online. So far I've been able to supply my parents household (which includes my oldest DS) and I left some on my Auntys doorstep cause she lives closest to me. I also gave a bunch to DH's relatives that live downstairs. Cause 1 of them old ladies refuses to sit still! She leaves this house EVERYDAY without naaan PPE. I have enough...but I'm concerned because masks will be our new normal going forward. Imma need to keep reupping. Or I might put dem 2 old ladies to work making some!
We are taking it day by day. So many changes are happening minute to minute! My emotions are allover the place. I keep telling myself "this too will pass" I just have no idea when!

I wonder if he’ll be found and charged like the woman who coughed on the produce. This is a reminder to pay close attention to seals in the store. I think I’m more focused lately on getting in and out so I might’ve missed a broken seal until I got home but I’ll be checking bottle seals after seeing that.

I'm just venting but being at home all the time has my sleep pattern thrown off and I also have to remind myself of what day if the week it is. It's weird.
Yesterday, I seriously thought it was Wednesday. My Google calendar kept popping up with this reminder to review and edit this client's white paper. I'm like "Why does that keep popping up, that's not till tomorrow, Thursday." I saw April 2, on my PC, didn't believe it. Finally, I asked DH what day it is. He said it's Thursday. Then I double checked another calendar too! Lol. Can't believe how thrown off I was.

Canada is one of the countries that is affected by Trump's 3m ban. The government is not happy.


All non-essential businesses in Canada will be shut down as of tomorrow. Most non-essential businesses have already closed but now they have increased the list of what is considered non-essential. So as of tomorrow dh is off work.

If some of you guys are still looking for hand sanitizer try the dollar tree. Ask them when their truck comes in, usually once a week, and be there before they open. For ladies that live near 22193 the dollar tree on old Prince William parkway has consistently had this past month, but even with the limit they run out quick.

Unfortunately, understandably so, Purell has decided to focus distribution to hospitals, goverment, etc who are dealing with COVID-19. So you may not see that on shelves for a while.

You’re probably not going to find the in demand products (bleach, sanitizer spray, etc) if you come to the store hours after it opens unfortunately. Like yesterday I went to Walmart and waited in line for it to open at 7. I darted to cleaning isle where I was able to get only 1 of the 3 chlorox sprays they had and I got another one from Lysol and it was gone in less than 15 min...along with the alternative disinfectant bleach. It sucks but what little inventory stores get goes quickly.

I don’t know if spic and span is good but they had it at dollar tree along with bleach, sanitizer wipes, and hand soap.

Detroit bus driver who shared coronavirus warning dies after contracting COVID-19


Video by NBC News

Jason Hargrove could not hide his outrage at the passenger whom he said openly coughed on his bus in the middle of a pandemic.

In between shifts last month, Hargrove, a city bus driver with the Detroit Department of Transportation, recounted in an obscenity-laden Facebook video how a woman onboard had just coughed in front of him and other passengers, even as the novel coronavirus continued to spread across the United States.



“We out here as public workers, doing our job, trying to make an honest living to take care of our families,” he said on March 21, “but for you to get on the bus and stand on the bus and cough several times without covering up your mouth, and you know we’re in the middle of a pandemic, that let’s me know that some folks don’t care.”

The 50-year-old bus driver added, “This is real … For us to get through this and get over this, man, y’all need to take this s--- serious. There’s folks dying out here.”



Detroit News that Hargrove started to feel ill on March 25, four days after the incident with the coughing passenger. A week later, he was dead.

While there’s no way of knowing whether Hargrove transmitted the illness from the passenger referenced in his video or if he was infected in another way, the bus driver’s death and his foreboding words have rocked Detroit, one of the nation’s covid-19 hot spots.

“I don’t know how you can watch [the video] and not tear up,” Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan (D) said at a Thursday news conference. “He knew his life was being put in jeopardy … by someone who didn’t take this seriously and now he’s gone.”

His death comes at a time when bus drivers in Detroit have expressed concern over whether the city and state are doing enough to protect public transportation workers from infection. On March 17, a few days before Hargrove’s plea, bus drivers shut down public transportation by calling in sick in fear of an outbreak, the Detroit Free Press reported. The city restarted the service on March 18 only after agreeing to keep the first row of seats empty, to have passengers enter and exit from the rear of the bus, and urging riders to stay 10 feet away from drivers.


But fears among drivers worried about getting infected have intensified with the news of Hargrove’s death, Tolbert told the Detroit News. He told WXYZ that some drivers have suggested a work stoppage.

“They’re obviously scared,” Tolbert, who has also tested positive for the coronavirus, said to the News. “They’re up in arms. It’s the fear of the unknown.”

In the days leading up to the incident, it was apparent that Hargrove understood the severity of the coronavirus, posting to his social media accounts about its effect on Detroit and the rest of the country. On his Facebook page, Hargrove, who was also a love DJ, posted photos of him wearing a mask inside his bus, as well as images of signs on the first row saying, “Please leave vacant.”

Then, on a Saturday afternoon, Hargrove said a passenger openly coughed five times around eight or nine riders on the bus.

“I’m steaming right now,” he said in a Facebook comment.

He’d exit the bus and hop on Facebook Live to vent in an 8½-minute video.

“I’m trying to be the professional,” Hargrove said. “They want me to be and I kept my mouth closed, but it’s at some point in time where you got to draw the line and say enough is enough. I feel violated. I feel violated for the folks that were on the bus when this happened.”

Despite his frustration with the city and its protection of public transit workers, Hargrove insisted that his anger could only be directed at the people not taking the proper precautions to help curb the spread of the virus.

“I ain’t blaming nobody — nobody. Not the city, not the mayor, not the department, not the state of Michigan, not the government, nobody, not the president,” Hargrove said. “It’s her fault. It’s people like her who don’t take [the coronavirus] for real while this still exists and is still

On March 23, two days after the incident, he wrote about how he was self-quarantined for two weeks due to exposure to covid-19. He fell ill shortly afterward.

Duggan announced on Thursday that the city is the first in the nation to test first responders, bus drivers and health-care workers with a new rapid testing kit that gets results in 15 minutes or less, The Washington Post reported.

The mayor, however, still had his mind on Hargrove. At one point, Duggan said “everybody in America” should watch the bus driver’s video.

“It’s something I’m going to think about for a long time,” Duggan said.

Toward the end of the video, Hargrove returned to the bus and said it was time to get back to work. He was concerned, but still had time to mix in some smiles and laughs for friends chatting with him during the live video. He pleaded to his friends to cover up their face and wear gloves if they had to go out.

“If you see somebody coughing and they don’t cover up, bust them in the back of their head,” he said with a hopeful grin. “I’m out of here, y’all. I love, y’all.”

Appearntly some folks in Houston TX think this is not serious.. This is from a friend's story yesterday. It's a video.

I told him he's part of the problem. He thinks because they are outside it's fine. :dead:View attachment 457529 View attachment 457533 View attachment 457525 View attachment 457527

The federal response has been trash. Look at Louisiana and how fast it has spread they’re now in top 3 worse cases I believe. There should be a federally mandated nation wide lock down.

I know there have been conflicting opinions on masks but if it can be spread even from talking at a “safe” distance I would think it should be encouraged.

Chile....thanks...FB got me in here spreading false news about these Jews. I still heard that they’re congregating and not obeying. They think they’re above the law.

Well some of them did have a big wedding 2 weeks ago that made NY news. A lot of people in Jewish community were not please that people were not following the stay-at-home, begging on twitter not do these type of things and take it seriously.
