I appreciate the answer. I thought is was either 2 or 3 days. I see some banks are now requesting that you do your banking online or go to the drive thru. You have to make a appointment to come inside.

All South Carolina public schools are closed for the rest of the month. At least traffic will be minimized.

I was taking my 2 great nephew and great niece to the beach on their spring break, which is 4.3-4.12, but wonder if they are going to cancel spring break with them out these next couple of weeks.

I feel bad for people with young kids. In summer they have time to plan for someone watching them but this was all of a sudden.

I went through 4 stores in blythewood just now. No bread, lysol, wipes, toliet paper nor paper towels. In good news (Lol) they are building a new Zaxbys on Blythewood road.

The IGA in Blythewood looked like it had been looted. People putting stuff in their buggies just so they have something.

Yes I am and worse have respiratory issues and very prone to respiratory infection. I'm still going to live life and refuse to live worried about this. I basically go to work and come straight home since about 2 weeks ago. Good thing I like to cook.

That’s good but just know kids around you can have it and give it to you
Apparently it’s no joke to older people.
That’s all I know on it, just really don’t want an MTA shutdown. I need to be in the office

I'm begging off from watching the 3 kids but feel bad because the great-grands are watching them and they are in their 80's.

I'm friends with a guy that is on the Governor coronavirus
task force and talking to him last night some in the medical field are starting to think that this has been out a lot longer than we think. He also feels, at this time, that containing it may be a fore gone conclusion.

We may disagree about shite but take precautions. Unlike you, I don’t wish ill on anyone. Be careful who you come in contact with and don’t shake hands.

Kids apparently don’t get sick often but carry everything. I’d be careful being around the more than anyone else right now.

Obviously you make your own decisions but it’s better to be safe and be around longer than make a bad choice and catch something you die from.

Thank you. You stay safe also.

My biggest concern is having Lupus and it has already damaged my lungs which leads to constant respiratory issues. I used to swim over 2 miles a day now not so much. I'm not that concerned with catching this thing of course I'm sure that will change if I get it.

Well bars and resturants closed, no eat in and starting tomorrow night the dumbest rule takes place in Columbia... a 11pm to 6am curfew. This virus hurts older people and trust me there are old people out during those hours.

Stay safe my friend

We’ve had those rules in play too (minus the curfew). Can’t say it’s any much different though, i abuse the shite out of delivery food
May end up being good for me, stocked the fridge and will start cooking healthier

Went to the bar last night and just about all the regulars were there. Pretty fun time. Had to quickly sober up though to go to work today. I think I pounded three waters to finish the night there, then came home and ate pizza then pounded more water and two multivitamins.

Good thing: I live in the country with no neighbors
