That last part you wrote about Spring Breakers in Florida isn't true they were all younger people not really susceptible to the virus unless you have study of those particular young people to share

Well, young people are less likely do die from it, sure. But they can catch it and infect others.

In that case how long does a winter blizzard last or in Florida how long does a hurricane last in some places like Houston lasted more than 5 days but that's it once the Blizzard's over once or the hurricanes over then you get to go back out again

And once this "storm" has passed, then life will return to normal.  

 

Anne Frank and her family had to hide from the Nazi storm over 2 years before they finally were caught.  Noah hid from the storm of the Flood for a year.  Jewish Christians had to socially isolate from Jerusalem for 2 years before the Romans finally destroyed the city.  

 

Not every storm is over in a few days.

True, more people die from car accidents each year than get eaten by bears, but if someone told me a bear was wandering around town, then you can bet I'd stay away.   

 

Yes, 1.35 million people die of car accidents and yet that doesn't stop people from driving, BUT, people do use more caution if the chances of being in an accident are greater than normal.  In fact, during a severe storm it's common to see people pull over to the side of the road so they avoid or lessen the chances of an accident.  During an ice storm they may even stay home and avoid travel.  So, even using your own illustration, people will change their habits and avoid normal activities if there is a greater chance than normal that they they will be injured or killed.

 

That's what is happening in this case.  The coronavirus has increased the chances of death or injury.  The coronavirus is like a severe hailstorm or a blizzard.  In fact, it's really like a blizzard.  Stay home, social distance, stock up on food, attend meetings remotely, telephone or letter writing ministry, might not be able to work.

The only bears I see is the local and federal governments.  Run by (some) well meaning humans and the rest political head to head internal fighting.  Where do we stand or should say sit (at home), safe, no arguments with our brothers/sister's, our children safe, our elders working hard, and they are benefiting spiritually and physically (lost jobs, can't get through to unemployment - systems crashed 5 times in my neck of woods), cheerful friends, no panic, a measure of normal fear, but NO anxieties over virus.  We have so much more by standing with Jehovah and Jesus.  You guys are wonderful!  Am staying put, today at 5pm in my State, it's run amock day.  At 5pm the bells will ring and off the wild bears and other critters run out to do their thing.  As for me, I've finished my essential shopping or this month, no plans on going out except to walk (get some sunshine) away from others, and mail my letters.   Pray for a bible study and if none, trust in Jehovah and lean on him.  He is making certain that we are all sticking together and obeying his commands.

Shawnsterr all three of those examples if they did the opposite would have ended in certain death Anne Frank and family would have been shot Noah and family would have drowned in the Jews in Jerusalem would have been  killed I've been out here working for the last 6 weeks and everybody is doing their distancing and washing their hands still out of my large group of postal workers only five people got it and nun died

This could prove to be VERY interesting.

 

Green Bay & Appleton, Wisconsin drop “all” restrictions.

Businesses in the Green Bay and Appleton areas can reopen after the health departments in Brown and Outagamie Counties dropped their local Stay at Home orders Friday afternoon.

 

The Cities of DePere and Appleton also dropped their orders Friday afternoon.

 

Manitowoc and Winnebago Counties also dropped their orders on Friday, while Marinette, and Oconto Counties did not put local orders in place after the governor’s orders were rejected by the Supreme Court.

 

The move comes after the Wisconsin Supreme Court voted late Wednesday to throw out Gov. Tony Evers’ orders, calling them unconsitutional.

 

Many cities and counties quickly issued local orders to take the place of the overturned state order, but on Friday, one by one, they rescinded the order, saying that they could not stand up to potential legal challenges.

 

Local authorities in the Green Bay and Fox Valley warned that the COVID-19 threat is still real, and people should follow the Wisconsin Department of Health Services guidelines of social distancing and hygiene, like frequent hand washing and staying home when not feeling well.

 

Businesses are allowed to reopen with no government restrictions, but it will be up to individual business on when and how to do so. The Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation has published reopening guidelines.

I predict most cities and states will do the same soon. Some never did have stay at home orders. The truth is the US system is constitutionally voluntary. With some state constitutions being more restrictively crafted than the federal.  Most of the stay at home orders cannot pass a legal challenge. People have just been compliant. 
    However, businesses may be able to be challenged in a legal suit if they are found to have created co dictions that cause harm to their patronage.  So the businesses would be prudent to take reasonable precautions.

Where does this antibody come from? How would it be administered? I think it said "infused'?

Yes, it would likely be an infusion. Like Immune globulin is infused for Epstein Barr. The antibodies are isolated as a fraction initially from blood but probably will be produced in another way as things progress. The demand will be very high. 

[Friends just call me Ross]

There was no mention of this coronavirus cure on NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt.

Anybody catch this bit of news on another network?

Yes, there is the whole association of brothers doing it much tougher than us. It helps to keep us focussed on the only solution for all of us on this planet. We know that Jehovah keeps them going with his spirit, and our prayers for them. And he will help us too in our own personal situation too.

Well, what do they expect when they attempt to keep people locked inside their homes indefinitely? 

 

Wisconsin's gov apparently didn't like how his unilateral power was taken from him. He was on CNN and he said that State will become the "wild west". I don't think so.

 

What people really want is to be from under persistent government control. Government has been VERY visible and VERY big recently, and have been very restrictive, and that was understandable early on. 

 

But they are trying to hold on to that power and not give it to the people (where it should belong in a "democratic" society).

Isn’t it wonderful! I was just pondering this subject. As local state or National government may ease restrictions Jehovah , through His Organization, is giving us direction to assist heads of households in keeping our families as safe as possible.    
     Applying Bible principals. Even if it is legal to say : go to a crowded restaurant or concert. For so long as the Organization isn’t having congregational meetings at venues with the goal of keeping our dear susceptible brothers and sisters safe . Should we individually the. Reason that :” The National or State law says it’s okay so I will go ( to insert crowded venue here)? Or is the principal of acting with a view toward the preservation of the health ,well-being , and life of our loved ones in the truth applicable?  I know my answer. Discussion welcome.

That's exactly the point I was making. 

[pnutts]

Where people think they elect their president. It is the electrol college that does the actual electing even if it goes against local state's popular votes.

Some can be "influenced" or "bought". It appears that the billionaire club bought the last one. Or at least it has and is turning out to be favorable for them.

 

Glad Jehovah and Jesus cannot be bought nor influenced.

In the domaine of the King of the South. Liberty may be the test of many. It is the tradition of the United States to have limited government and hope that the people will be wise enough as a people to act prudently for themselves and others. It is hoped, institutionally that the public has been educated toward an Internal moral compass that can even overcome those in the culture who simply are without any ethics. ( This is , of coarse, ridiculous). Without the theocratic training and practice of applying Scriptural principals the center simply cannot hold. But we, as Jehovah’s people can pass this test where others fail. We will have to apply these principals even when we can legally do just about anything. 
     Under the domaine of the KOTN it is the opposite. People never learn how to apply the internal guide of Conscience because of all the rules the KOTN heaps upon them. But Endurance they are tested with to a great degree.

I’m happy that we don’t have to rely upon the wisdom of the world to know how to behave. The latest instruction from the slave is very clear.  No matter what anyone’s opinions may be, our best course of action is to follow those instructions.
