I gathered from this that an 80 year is out there living his best life traveling and my lifestyle hasn't changed since the lockdowns. *le sigh*

Have you considered running off with an 80 year old? You can't have arguments if he can't hear what you're saying.

I thought people only got in relationships for the sole purpose of arguing? That sort of takes the fun out of fighting if they cant hear my feeling hurting words.

I'll let you be the judge of that... ... and the jury... ...the executioner, too...

That is the percentage of Abilene's population that has the Chinese Media Panic Coronafascist Skyisfalling Virus. Can you guys please go back to reporting traffic accidents?

From the list of confirmed cases it does appear that some got infected due to pure negligence. The failure to take reasonable safety precautions is plain irresponsible. I suppose if enough people die it will make a few people rethink the seriousness of a CV-19 infection. OTOH I do have doubts that it will make much difference, natural selection will claim the victims.

Well in that case it's no big deal of course unless you happen to be one of those positive cases. I would like to see how you calculated your figure because I cannot seem calculate the same figure. With 817 completed test and 61 positives calculates 0.0746634026927785 for me That's about 7.5%, using that figure on Abilene's population of approx 118,000 calculates to 8810 positive cases. those are unbiased figures my friend. The sky is not falling but it sure is dark!
