Sad thing is my 5 year old brother doesn't want anyone going out side saying, "If you go outside you will get covid-19
No 5 year old understands ages like that should have made the joke kid 12
then again, the COVID-19 virus doesn't give a damn WHAT age you are...
Old school, I'm sorry.. If a child that young is allowed to address an adult, especially an older adult, they should be taught to preface the name with Miss, Mrs, or Mr. Nobody teach kids manners these days?
Older people don't think they're old though. My sister-in-law's friend Elaine is a nurse on a geriatric ward at the local hospital, she's also a trained hairdresser and has a sideline in home hairdressing appointments for the elderly, infirm, and housebound. One time my mother was due to phone her for an appointment, but decided to wait a few days before calling Elaine because - and I quote - "She'll be busy with the old people." I then pointed out, "Mother, you're nearly 90..."
My mom did much the same. After she mentioned missing 'a man in the house' after my father died, in desperation I suggested she attend a New Beginnings Club meeting. Afterward, I asked how it went. "I'm not going back--there's nothing but old men!" "And how young are you, Mom?"

Loneliness and lack of human contact kills. There will be an epidemic of suicides. People should bare this in mind, when they isolate themselves. The death toll of this virus is miniscule compared to other killers.
I can just hear this in my head with a young Ricky Gervais voice...
Jean, for the love of Pete, listen to the kid! #StayIn #StaySafe #StayGolden
You're truly r******d if you think this conversation actually happened as it is currently written. BTW, the Republicans are currently in control of this nation, your party has really f****d this Country up, but it makes sense that you'd be too slow to actually comprehend that.

Of course, laughing during a stressful time like this can seem a bit strange. Or even hard to do. But we shouldn’t be afraid of laughing during a crisis. It’s for the best because it helps reduce stress and anxiety.
“Huddling around the radio, so to speak, and listening to the news reports just tends to amplify the scariness of what's going on,” director of the University of Colorado Boulder's Humor Research Lab Dr. Peter McGraw pointed out.
"And a bit of comedy—whether it be through your Instagram feed, through a Netflix comedy special, or calling up your friend who's pretty good at making jokes in the face of tragedy—is not only a good way to distract yourself from what's going on, but it's also a good way to delight yourself," McGraw said.
Both talented people, I can't even draw a stick figure without a broken leg
He explained that most of us are feeling a lot of uncertainty in our futures because of Covid-19. “One of the challenges that people are having is that the government is asking them to 'socially distance' themselves and that can make life a little bit difficult because one of the great ways to cope with fear and uncertainty is to lean on people that you care about and to communicate with others and to have a strong social support network."
Since going outside and socializing is now out of the question, we’re mostly left with online streaming services, YouTube, and social media to get our fix of humor. However, McGraw warns us that spending too much time on social media right now might be a mistake because “your social media feed is a mess” due to the coronavirus. That’s why he suggests watching professional comedy specials, funny movies, and reading hilarious books.
“I would say turn your phone off, tune in and take a little bit of a break. You certainly deserve it."
Get with Karen, she's negotiating it.______________ Update: As funny as it's been to laugh at Laura here, I want everyone to take a second to realize that the exact same thing has been said by Gary Cohn, who was until this month economic advisor to the president. "Is it time to start discussing the need for a date when the economy can turn back on? Policymakers have taken bold public health & economic actions to address the #coronavirus, but businesses need clarity. Otherwise they will assume the worst and make decisions to survive."______ https://twitter.com/Gary_D_Cohn/status/1241706009053331459
Haha yes. Entire winter of rain and storms. Now: sunny (though colder than most of the winter...)
LOL... they better stay inside because they'll get mugged the second any sees them outdoors.
We should call ourselves something really arrogant, like "the greatest generation" or something. XD
Li ce is the worst. !. When my boys got it when they were younger I just shaved their heads.
Imagine being on the International Space Station and not knowing if there'll be anyone alive down here to get them back... or to get back to.
Awesome! I want to go exploring for lost stuff in my own home!! I'm serious.
Upside of the pandemic: A new type of visit with my in-laws I can really get on board with

If you are in a co-op game, get ready to be called things you never heard existed when you get 'rekt' and fail your team.
OMG so it's not just me geting the sudden desire to go outside and socialise face to face when I used to live in my bedroom.
unfortunately people have to do this because there are so many people needing assistance and because nobody is even trying to slow down the spread they need all the doctors they can get
Reminder: Frisk your relatives before they leave your house.. they might be stealing toilet paper...

On the contrary, I actually feel less stressed because o this. The other day I woke up to a day with literally no expectations. I had NOTHING I was required to do. I didn't have to clean my room, do laundry, nothing. This revelation was beautiful and I obviously spent my entire day building a fairy garden in my backyard.
You should have heard my housemate scream when he realized they'd cancelled Wrestlemania.
Police: "You are under arrest for robbery!" Cat: "What did I steal?" Everyone: "My heart..."
Once upon a time, there was a pandemic... And just like that every person self diagnosed with gluten intolerance was cured
I don't know why people complain that there is nothing to do. I've spent the day stock piling.
(revealing my ignorance) what are those? They look like bouillon cubes.
Hope he turns out OK - didn't he have part of a lung removed when he was younger?
Good that people haven't lost their sense of humor. I work from home for a living. So I've been doing my part since 1990.
Today begins week #2 of trying to homeschool my 5 year old while also entertaining my 2 year old and being a prison warden to our stock pile of snacks. If I'm not sitting in a corner rocking back and forth and drooling on myself by this time next month, I'll be shocked. 🙃🤪🤯
LOL, shoes. I haven't worn undies since last week.

Here's my advice: Use this time to be creative. Do what you always said you'll do but never got around to it. Learn to paint, play the guitar, speak another language, etc. You will get absorbed into creativity and wonder where the days went. When we can go out again, you'll have a new skill and can have a great catch up with your friends about what you've been doing.
I’m so bored I just watched a 2 minute American girl doll ad for no good reason.
