60+ year old thread.

Welcome to the porch Martin . I thought I would never hit the big 6-0 but damn son it came and went before I knew where it went . Life is good so enjoy.

 

If the limited Covid 19 history is correct expect a lot more cases when schools open up this September. The problem will be worse in Middle and High Schools because the greater number of students that come in contact with an individual student every day. My wife had already planned on retiring when Covid 19 happened. She did teach 1/2 an algabra class for incoming freshmen this summer. she was able to do that from home. Your sister will be in my prayers.

 

Morning all:
Interesting times since Covid 19, don't know what the answer is, but we can't just shut the entire country down and wait/hope for it to go away.
Seems like there are varying versions of it, those that have Covid with no symptoms, those with mild symptoms, those who require short hospitalization, and those who have the severe life threatening versions of it.
Even with a vaccine, if anything like the flu, you can still get it, but it may protect you from getting the severe life threatening version of it, that doesn't mean that it's gone, just that maybe not as many people will die from it.
Looks like the CDC is still grabbing straws on this, now they are saying that it can spread 16' when airborne, not the 6' social distancing that's been widely accepted.
Hopefully everyone can stay safe, there's no magic wand at the moment that will make it just disappear.

A belated welcome to the newcomers, welcome to the porch!

 

yo old folks , the mods don't like covid 19 talk . It's in the code of conduct beware.

 

Good Day Carl: It is so easy to blame someone or something for any problems. With this Covid 19 i as an individual need to do what I feel is comfortable to me. I cannot dictate how others should act or police their actions. I am responsible for me and my household. So much changing information as we continue to compile statistics from the pandemic. I feel sorry for anyone that has to work due to many different circumstances. I am not afraid of this Covid 19 but I am not going to do anything to make it easier to enter my body. I have a responsibility to my family and myself to avoid this virus. However it is interesting to listen to the younger persons whine. They do not have a clear understanding of their constitutional rights being violated the same way as I had to experience. Stay safe up there in PA. This virus really does not care who you are.

 

TY I was not aware of the violation. If a mod want me to delete my post please PM me and I will make it happen.

 

Ouch × 4!!

 

Same here, didn't think what I posted was even borderline as per rules!

 

Neither did I Carl. As a senior this whole pandemic thing affects me differently than a younger person that has to work and/or has school age children.

 

Good morning, everyone!!! Finally got some rain overnight - we need it. I have to stain the porch - probably will do that today if it's dry. Otherwise, I have a project for tomorrow.

Stay safe....and avoid getting hit with a time-out!!!

 

Welcome to all the new folks.

Happy Birthday Harry!

 

Good Morning folks. Great temperatures in my area today..mid 80's .

Happy Birthday Harry @Harry2015 . Have a great day.

No you don't John. You can drop in whenever you want. We don't age discriminate...plus we need the young folks to check up on us old folks .

 

Link please? I’m aware that arguments and politics are out, all I saw here was good folks discussing how the pandemic was affecting their families, in kind and friendly ways. I looked at COC and didn’t find where folks have to pretend there’s not a pandemic

 

Go to Homepage of TW - scroll down to your name - below in bold print - Statement concerning COVID 19 and Code of Conduct
