Corona Virus # 3

...The media controls everyone's daily life:...

No it doesn't...The most important thing you can do is to learn the truth about the media, who controls it and where and what are their agendas...

We cut ourselves off from the news media a year ago. Our only contact with it now is ocassional streaming of a headline or a few minutes of local radio once a week or so.

Two things I have noticed.
1. We still know what's going on in our World.
2. Within a few seconds of listening to a news reporter it be omes apparent they don't know what they are talking about and are condescending and rude.

I believe my mental health has improved.

I bet your level of tension / blood pressure has decreased as well. We do the same. Not sure if my mental heath improved any. At my age, mental heath is secondary to just surviving another day in the orb. My wife and I have totally separated ourselves from the 'spin'.

I bet 'cruise lines' are offering killer deals. Don't know of anyone with half a brain that would book a cruise on a floating Petri dish....

I’ve heard the same. Killer deals are available.

Could very well be a 'killer'. The one that was quarantined in Japan comes to mind.

Ammunition Sales Soar in Response to Coronavirus Panic

Wonder why?? As an aside, other than rimfire 22's and rimfire 17's, I haven't bought any 'factory rounds' in years. I handload everything I use.

Sure COVID-19 is serious but it is not worth putting down the pets to reduce the spread that I was reading about.

From China they reported no deaths before age 10 and most all are 70+ or have preexisting health problems before getting the virus. Some have it and never realize they have it and are spreading it. One 98 year old woman had recovered and was released from the hospital in China so there is hope for most.

I see worry and depression as a real cause for many physical and mental health issues.

If I were to start shooting at the virus it would have to be with a shot gun.

COVID-19 isn’t as deadly as we think.

This article helped me to see things in a different light.

I just got back from a cruise a week ago and would not mind another if it was free and left from Texas. I do not see any mass reduction of fares. Please do not quote this post, it is under quarantine.

There is a large percentage of people who will never go on a cruise no matter what. They are the ones who are scared of water or they get seasick easily or even if there is no new virus going around they will call the Ship a germ. ( I have relatives in all these categories) That's why I think the survey may not reflect the NEW fear of contracting the coronavirus.
