´*~ Coronavirus Confusion ~*
Same here, except- what is hair?I was talking to my SIL (Rick's sister) and she was doing a lot of complaining: can't go to the grocery store, can't go to the library (she's a library volunteer), her roots are really bad, etc. I was commiserating with her about the roots thing; my roots are really bad, too.
But, you know, if the only thing that I can really complain about is the state of my hair roots? I'm damned lucky. We have a roof over our heads, we have food in the freezers, we're in fairly good health, we have each other, and we have our cats. The electricity is on, our bellies are (a little too) full. We retired, and my pension comes in every month, along with our SS checks. Yeah, when I found paper towels at Target the other week, I felt like we had won the lottery. But I also realize that that is minor.
In other words, we are incredibly blessed during this time. I know it sounds really trite, but think about it. Not everybody has a warm place to live and food to eat.
My husband says the same thingSame here, except- what is hair?
I'm not bothered either. I have quite a bit of grey, but have never dyed my hair. It blends in nicely with the rest of my natural highlights. So I don't have "roots". I did give myself a haircut yesterday though. But it was a "pass the time" hair cut, I don't get my hair cut professionally....ever. They always screw it up...curly hair anyone??? We'll see over the next couple of days how my hair responds to my end trims, I took more off then usual.Michele isn't bothered by the salons being closed, as she stopped going several years ago. Her hair still retains a goodly amount of the red she had when younger, and she is disappointed that there isn't more gray to it. Not that I am complaining, mind you.
I tend to agree.I think most people are asymptomatic or have such mild symptoms they think it's just a cold or allergies.
Not only that but they keep adding to the list of possible symptoms. Basically, they now know that someone could have it and all they presented with is diarrhea. And they (in my area at least) were really only focusing on "high risk" people (those who traveled and been exposed to those who traveled).I think most people are asymptomatic or have such mild symptoms they think it's just a cold or allergies.
That's what scares me. I've never really been a hypochondriac (all of my health concerns have turned out to be valid), but the pandemic is turning me into one. I find myself questioning every little abnormality nowNot only that but they keep adding to the list of possible symptoms.

At first, you were not considered to have it unless you had the cough, shortness of breath and fever AND travel or exposure to someone who traveled. In our area, they wouldn't even test you if you didn't meet the criteria. For example, if you presented with sinus issues...you most likely had a cold, so no test. If you didn't travel or know someone who traveled...no test. I do understand this, because they were worried about testing supplies running out, and the back log was extensive, but now they are really going to have to ramp up antibody testing...and how long is that going to take?
They are testing more people now, but how many people are walking around (their living room...lol..) immune, that were sick last month?
I was sick last month, and now that I'm better, I'm HOPING I had it. I really want antibody testing to start as soon as possible...I'll be first in line. Not only that, but if I already had it, even if I can't go back to MY job...which is deemed "non-essential", I am a health care provider so I could apply for the many positions that the government opened up to help with our health care shortage.I find myself questioning every little abnormality now
mine just buzzes it off with the dog clippers LOL.Same here, except- what is hair?
There are a lot of videos on making a mask from socks. I haven't tried any of them. I just ordered some bandanas to try to make from them.@MoonstoneWolf ....Can you use a pair of scissors? This might be a good option for you.
