STR is conspicuous by her absence. I checked the Members list her account seems to be gone. Hope she has not pulled the pin, she was a dear lady. Yes, I had noticed her absence. Hope she doesn't have the virus.
Has anyone heard from her?

What did you warn me about? you mean getting stress out posting on TMB... Thanks, I have done this for over 20 yrs... Some day, I might take a break or post less and less, time for my retirement... Maybe, Corona Virus will take me out so, I can rest in peace.
Hot spots are California, Washington state and we are right in the middle of these two states Oregon! New Orleans is spreading the Corona Virus fast because of Mardi gras parade last week. New York is VERY Hot spot right now...

We certainly hope not Nathan, nobody wants that to happen. An old fool like me won't be missed, we have had a good innings. In Cricket if you were bowled out at 80 you would be pretty pleased with yourself.

In Cricket if you were bowled out at 80 you would be pretty pleased with yourself. We will all be missed, redback... We fight a lot on TMB but we do miss each other once we are gone from here.... Like our friend Dennis J. I want to go when I am at 75 yrs old but with this Corona Virus I might go sooner than I like. Well, whatever God has planned for me is up to Him.
You are one tough cookie, redback... You might live to 100. I hope and pray they will give out the Vaccine soon.

Thanks Nathan, a century would be an achievement. Message from the Queen. My Doctor told me recently that I was in great shape, and should see 90 and beyond. That was prior Covid-19. If he was wrong, should I ask for my money back.

The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.

Its sad to see a once-great country destroying itself needlessly. It seems like big numbers around the world will die a horrible COVID-19 death. Health systems can't cope with society's stupidity. In New Zealand, we have had no COVID-19 deaths yet a state of emergency has been declared. All except essential service workers are ordered to stay home. Politicians of all stripes are working together.

Politicians of all stripes are working together. Oregon state has the lowest deaths with the Virus and a lot less infected cases right now but this could change... Washington state above us is in crisis, they have 2,900 infected cases and 150 deaths and is spreading fast throughout the state so is California.

Experts here are saying it would infect 89% of the population if left unchecked. 5% seriously ill.

This Corona Virus is here to stay and it will mutate itself to more deadlier strains of Virus down the road... Last year in USA 61,000 people died from the regular flu alone. Thinning the herd! Read Agenda21
Health and Science Johns Hopkins doctor says new coronavirus is here to stay, expects ‘seasonal’ outbreaks Published Tue, Feb 4 2020 Johns Hopkins senior scholar Dr. Amesh Adalja said the new coronavirus will likely cause yearly outbreaks, with most of the cases being mild. “Many people are going to get mild illness and it’s going to be more like a flu-like illness for many people but for some it may be very severe,” he said. Adalja compared the new coronavirus to the H1N1 swine flu outbreak that hit in 2009. www.cnbc.com/2020/02/04/johns-hopkins-dr-amesh-adalja-says-new-coronavirus-is-here-to-stay.htmlEven still, high early-season vaccination rates and a relatively effective annual vaccine appeared to help suppress illnesses. In total, the CDC estimates that up to 42.9 million people got sick during the 2018-2019 flu season, 647,000 people were hospitalized and 61,200 died. That’s fairly on par with a typical season, and well below the CDC’s 2017-2018 estimates of 48.8 million illnesses, 959,000 hospitalizations and 79,400 deaths.time.com/5610878/2018-2019-flu-season/

It's good to see that they are all saying, 'this is not the time for politics' and working together to do what needs to be done.

The world can put together huge resources to fight a major conflict but humanity, in general, has been way too slow to mobilise against this enemy that I expect will kill way more than ISIL killed. This is an enemy that you can't see with the naked eye.

It's not just the virus that is killing, it's people thinking they know more than scientists. Also, politicians who think they know more than scientists (Trump would be Exhibit A). Like most places, our NZ politicians were not acting fast enough but now are determined to beat the virus. We are in a four-week lock-down. We have to have a legitimate reason to be out of our homes. Police are enforcing it and can call on the military to back them up. We place a lot of value on freedom, but not when our freedom contributes to the death of fellow citizens.

A select committee dominated by the opposition is helping and also keeping the government accountable. At the daily briefings, the prime minister has been joined by her deputy, and leaders of the health department, civil defense and police. Business leaders are also involved. If any of these were taken out the fight would go on.

Just curious, is everyone in New Zealand being paid to stay home for 4 weeks?
I wonder how long governments can pay everyone not to work and compensate businesses for their losses? If the virus isn't eradicated after a month, will they require another month of self-isolation?
Our federal reserve is printing trillions here in the USA, but no one has seen a dime yet. I tried to apply for a business loan, but there's no where to apply yet, my bank is even closed down.
I can't help but think that the financial and economic repercussions from these shut-downs are going to be devastating. Can we afford to financially out-last the virus? Will it disappear after 4 weeks?
Business closures, unemployment hits, and inflation will likely ensue. I suppose its worth it to save lives, but there's no guarantee COVID-19 will disappear after all this.
Wish I lived in a rich country like NZ right now . Wish our government was paying rent/mortgages, power, cable, phone, etc. I'd love to have a month vacation if someone else was paying the freight

Strange on most boards, but on this board, even with several other threads already started on the coronavrus, the TMB demolition crew have this one already switched off the topic of a believer who has (hopefully) temporarily taken a break from that demo crews' constant bashing of believers - onto the topic of the coronavirus. I am told that visitors are noticing that this board's former 2x2 atheist/evolutionists' practices are obvious - to harang/harass any believers who post on it to TRY to keep atheist/evolutionist majority control over this board. And since atheist/evolutionists have nothing to offer over 2x2ism, I am pleased to see that visitors are learning the ancient 2x2 practices used against their emenies to try to control them.
Hope STR wasn't too disgruntled, maybe she just needed a break. Sometimes people feel the need to constantly defend themselves, but its best to have a thick skin and let things slide. I was surprised at how many nonbelievers were here when I came onboard. Its hard to understand how so many could go from the Truth to atheism? I can understand why a person might have some disagreements with any church, but why throw the entire bible out in the process? I can only presume that they never had much faith in the first place. I personally don't mind the discussions, the versatility of perspectives and opinions keeps things interesting, but the nit-picking can be annoying. I suppose the question of STR's disappearance was asked and answered, so the topic drifted as they often do. Hope she chimes back in sometime.

Thanks, God. I wonder the same thing how can we businesses owners apply for gov't loans when all banks are closed down... Maybe apply on line, Dan? I can drop the business money in the drop box. I will try to ask the bank teller on Monday when can we apply for the gov't loans.
