Most rural counties some distance from an urban center have very few cases. Where I am currently at, I think there are 2 active cases in the county. Doubt there are a hundred active cases within a hundred miles of me. I feel pretty safe here!

That particular community forum does not center properly on the screen, cuts off the right side. I don't see the same issue with any other forums.

Trump

Leaders in Washington have no wisdom, knowledge, discretion or understanding as to what this Nation really needs . It's a fallen World. The hearts and minds of many people are corrupt. Don't blame things all on Trump! I do not. Trump is an effect, not a cause. Fortunately, or unfortunately, our 'leaders' are a reflection of our prominent culture. The electorate selects those they can see themselves in. AOC is a complete moron who represents Gen Y. All those little morons are afraid of Liberty so they drive themselves into the ground. "Freedom within reason" is to much responsibility for them to handle so they reject reality. 🤣 Sanders represents all those hippies from the Baby Boomer generation who sit around talking about how the commie state is the "bestest evor". A bunch of knuckleheads smoking their dope and not doing anything useful for themselves or others. Trump is a Constitutionalist/Centralist in most things. Super Troll on the net and people like to watch the "Drama". He's giving all these politicians opportunity to run around and show people what they really stand for. Give them enough rope to hang themselves. "Step right up and see the two-headed dog with five legs". AOC is not running for POTUS thankfully. She is elected congresswoman by the people in her district at only 30. The electorate there obviously saw themselves in her. She has a lifetime of experience and knowledge to gain, but the right age and place to start. "liberty" and 'rights', as far as I can tell, are completely subjective concepts to liberals and conservatives, called upon as protest when they cannot have or do as they please, to insist that they should be free to do those things. I also think 'communist' is a false flag waived by the non 'hippies' who like to label people with fear tactics. I have not once actually heard anyone tout communism or use the phrase 'bestest ever'. I also do not know too many 50-70 year olds who sit around 'smoking dope', but quite a few above 65 who now longer work a traditional job because they are RETIRED, but are not necessarily doing 'nothing'. Trump does not even know the constitution, and the only 'center' that matters to him is himself. Step right up and see the Emperor with No Clothes and his cult of merry men and women, touting how exquisite his gown is because it is not what any of the other Emperors are wearing. Reality is not subjective. So,believee as you will and be happy with that then. Most people have the idea that the world, the universe, is an objective reality. It exists independently of us, independently of perceivers. For example, a tree is a tree. Regardless of whether I perceive the tree or an ant perceives the tree, the tree is the same thing. It has its own objective reality which is perceived in different ways by different beings. My experience of the tree is subjective, as is the ant’s, but the tree has a true essence that exists objectively. Our beliefs shape our reality. Since we have the power to choose our beliefs, we have the power to shape our reality. Most of us do this subconsciously, but it is preferable to shape our reality consciously. That means we don’t have to get lucky to have a good life. Many or most of our beliefs were given to us by others: parents, friends, society. We take a lot of them for granted and never question them even though they have a direct effect on everything we experience. Point is, I disagree with your assessment of tRump, aoc and pretty much everything you say, because of my perception, how I was raised and my beliefs. Ms Harmony is once again correct imo, this emperor has never been more naked & fires everyone who disagrees with him. Now surrounded by kiss a$$es and yes men. |

fears from marriage

If you are unsure and afraid.. don't do it but sex , i want to create sexual relation, the one way for it is marriage THat's a crap reason to get married. Asking for problems. The only reason for marriage, or a romantic relationship, is love. The desire to be together because you love one another and want to build a life and future together. Intimacy is part of that, but never the reason to get involved. Unless you want a loveless relationship that won't work out and won't make anyone happy in the long run. yes that is true |

All rankings of states and countries are dependent on the criteria you choose. For those to be of value to you, you have to agree with the chosen criteria. Assuming any ranking is accurate requires your knowledge of and agreement with those criteria. Devil is always in the details!!

Firstly, Trump improved nothing but the sustainability of the uber rich. I am not one of them, nor are most on this board. Secondly, his display of 'leadership' during crisis has been horrific. And finally, I tire of the 'socialist' fear tactic. If you look for a list of the happiest countries, you might find this: https://www.cntraveller.com/gallery/the-10-happiest-countries-in-the-world 10. Austria 9. Canada 8. New Zealand 7. Sweden 6. Switzerland 5. Netherlands 4. Iceland 3. Norway 2. Denmark 1. Finland If you look for the healthiest countries, you might find this: https://www.cntraveler.com/gallery/healthiest-countries-in-the-world 10. Israel 9. Norway 8. Singapore 7. Australia 6. Sweden 5. Switzerland 4. Japan 3. Iceland 2. Italy 1. Spain Most of these countries have some type of programs that are sold as 'socialist' in our country, yet they are either happier AND/OR healthier than we are. So yeah, if that is what 'socialist' is, maybe it is better than what we are doing, not being on EITHER list. When you list Italy and Spain as having the best health care, that just hasn't rung true with the coronavirus. Both have shown very high death rates. |

while trump does not understand that his words kill ... some are not watching tv but possibly listening to others about the covid 19 virus ... so this comes second hand sometimes to people ... joke or not ... his cult is listening ... and how many cults killed their own people ... Lysol urges people not to inject or ingest their products ... becouse of what trump says can be done ... https://youtu.be/GQzGQVyT1ao and this is dangerous ... for our country ... and the people ... who believes him ... he needs to listen to the facts and experts but know... he just want to be the center of attention all the time ... fired one of the scientist that came up with a cure for the last mass deceases... we had ... that is wrong in the head ... we need a leader that is not... all the time campaigning for his nxt election and using this as a platform for it ... but that is what a cult leader does ... so the experts say ... https://youtu.be/sqI5_jH-AbY |

Inject people with disinfectant? What was he smoking? Who would be dumb enough to think that was a real idea? I took it as a joke when it was said. Same level as that couple who took the fish tank cleaner!! And these are the same people who elect our politicians!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

After people being locked down or restricted for a period of time, they tend to want out. Same as cabin fever; when that happens they tend to be more careless. It takes several days from the increased social activity before we see the results. I believe the average from being exposed to serious enough infection to be tested or hospitalized is 5 days. Things that seem to increase numbers are like holidays (Easter) and nice weather days especially on the weekend. Practice your social distancing and wear your face covering.

The difficulty is getting to that "herd" immunity and the cost associated with getting there by having the illness. A well designed vaccine causes the immunity response in the body without the dangers associated with the disease. In the case of COVID, the dangers for some are very real and the result for some is death. The cost associated with it now are only because it turned into a pandemic. That hardly ever happens, last time was a century ago with Spanish flu. You cannot anticipate that, ever, as there will always be something new at some point. At least as long as we live the way we live (fear-based). Most diseases that come up do not turn in a pandemic. And if this ever comes back round it likely won't cause this much chaos as most will be immune. What will happen when it mutates remains to be seen, even if that is going to happen. And if it would change enough for our immune system to not be able to handle it, the vaccines they're making now -based on this version- won't help either. Also... as for the cost of it... did you read the economic results in the USA AFTER the Spanish flu? The cities that did a very strict lockdown and social distancing AND for a long time as well, bounced back economically afterwards at the speed of light! It boosted everything. The cities who hadn't been so strict and didn't shut down stuff for a longer period didn't do so well at all afterwards. So I think this cost thing is relative. Don't forget a lot of money is being made now too, just from different things. And if everything gets a boost afterwards... Might make up for a lot! Big difference now of course is that many companies can and are still working because it's internet based, only have their people work from home. Maybe not in the US, but in other countries like mine for sure. |

Misuse of preference
|
|
Preference: a greater liking for one alternative over another or others. When we say we 'don't' do something. That is not a preference. A preference ranks options by order. If I don't eat spinach, that is NOT a preference. It is a choice, and It is an exclusion altogether, not even in the options. If I prefer strawberry ice cream, I will still eat other types. But amongst those options, my first choice is strawberry. If I do not date girls, that is my choice. Because they are not an option, I can't really say it is a preference. They are not even on the list. IT is an exclusion and it is my choice though. Pardon? What are you saying MsHarmony? She's saying there 's a difference between *preference" (i.e. what one prefers) and "choice" (as Ms harmony puts it, absolute *nopes*) I disagree with the latter...some things, such a sexual orientation are NOT "choices".. |

It is somewhat different. Even though I am a Minnesota resident, I winter in Arkansas and am still here. Arkansas is one of the few states that does not have a shelter in place or stay at home order from the Governor. Basically we can come and go as we choose. Don't take this to mean there are no restrictions. Groups are limited to 10 people and businesses that people would congregate at such as bars, restaurants, and health clubs are closed. Places of short term lodging are restricted to essential personnel such as doctors and nurses. State parks and campgrounds are day use only and the national parks are closed. Even if we are a tourism state, tourists are currently NOT WELCOME! There are other restrictions designed to limit spreading the virus but we can still mostly go on living and a number of places of employment are still working. Common sense seems to prevail!!

Its the Media that pushes the gloom and doom. The media report the statistics. Ignoring the statistics doesn't make them go away. Sure, Mankind as a whole will eventually be healed of COVID-19, but such healing has not happened yet. |
