    In my hometown it takes 16 days to get test results for a COVID 19 test if you aren't in a hospital.

    Last night I drove 150 miles to Dothan Alabama, slept in a shitty little motel room, stood in line this morning for about half an hour, got tested and started driving home.

    They called me with the test results before I was 3/4 of the way home.

    EDIT: I am fully negative for the disease BTW

    Yup

    EDIT:

    Also, they went ahead and tested for a whole slew of things. I am now 100% assured I don't have kennel cough or a cold. Among other things

    It was never going to be. Toilet paper is almost always produced locally because it's light but bulky; and therefore not cost effective to import. If it was in short supply it was only due to panic buying by idiots.

    Idiots burning down cell towers is ongoing. It's extra troublesome because they're so fucking thick they can't tell the difference between 5G towers and everything else. I hate people.

    First, use the proper name. Second, just because your country managed to get off light doesn't mean much.

    Fingers crossed it’s something relatively benign instead.

    Poland is actually taking strong measures to help deal with the virus as well. It seems that the Polish government is taking the matter seriously rather than fucking about like some other countries are, for the most part. The virus is dangerous, Poland's response to it has just been very good.

    I'm well aware of that and am doing my damnedest not to be a hazard.

    And honestly compared to some of the other things that can cause anosmia COVID actually is "relatively benign" for a twenty-something like myself.

    But yeah. Fuck.

    Sorry for late answer.
    It is only partially true - for example,we had time when only 5 people could go to Church,but 20 could use bus.Average polish Church is as big as 10 buses.Even worst,people in hipermarkets was even less disturbed, and logistic centers which send stuff there was practically working as usual.
    If corona really was as bad as media say,we would not have less death cases.Becouse there is no virus which kill only in church,but not in logistic center.

    And we have Belarus,when nothing was done, and mortality not changed.And now people start making demonstrations - and there is no more cases,too.Virus which avoid one country ? and people could demonstrate without more cases ? i doubt it.

    P.S i am poor christian,but i would pray for your father.

    Whatever information you are looking at, don't be fooled. The virus is lethal and cruel about it. Do not take chances because you do not want to see someone you care about die that way. Truly you don't.

    Church is full of old people.

    Virus kills old people.

    Therefore church is closed.

    Logistics center is full of young people and, more importantly, owner is politically connected so they get to ignore citizen protections.

    Virus finally hit someone I know. He's early 30's, but still hospitalized, sedated, and on a vent. I don't know his prognosis. Stay safe, wear your masks.

    If he's on a vent, it's not a good prognosis. I have this straight from an ICU nurse. Age doesn't matter, ventilator = low chance of survival.

    Owners politically connected - true.Our ruling elites do not touching them - also true.Bat,that never schielded from plague.If corona was as bad as media say,that logistic centers should become outbreak of plague.They did not.
    P.S Polish churches full of old people...sorry, it is lewtist propaganda.

    We will not entertain any conspiracy theories or political statements surrounding this virus. Do not do that again.

    I don't get it. This is a global pandemic, a respiratory virus. It doesn't care about your politics. It just kills people. Why are people trying to make it about politics?!?

    Because politics is intrinsically involved in our response to it?

    That and, well, it's been politicized to the point of absurdity here in America.

    It will kill even more people if the proper politics aren't implemented. That's a reality that won't go away even if we do choose to ignore it. At the very least, you live in countries where the economic situation theoretically allows for effective responses if the actual will exists. For others of us, that's not an option regardless.

    I know the Sword of Damocles will fall on our heads eventually. It's just a matter of when.

    Sorry for being unclear.
    I say nothing about conspiracies, only that logistic centers for supermarkets worked as usual in Poland - and if corona was as bad as media say,people there should drop like flies.Which did not happened.
    That is all.

    The fact that most people are behaving responsibly has saved some people who are behaving irresponsibly.

    That doesn't justify behaving irresponsibly, it just means some bad behavior hasn't yet born consequences.

    The idea that the media is overselling the seriousness for political reasons is an insane conspiracy theory.
