Another thing scaring me about NC are them church folks. My pop preaches and I'm trying to get him doing Facebook Live or YouTube Live vs having in person services. Those younger preachers are use to it but it's a definite adjustment for the older heads. Waiting for the government to tell you to shut down church isn't the option :smh:

Mecklenburg County is on a "Stay at Home" order beginning Thursday morning. Anyone thats caught out can be issued a Class 2 Misdemeanor...Mecklenburg county has the largest number of cases in NC at last check 120, but it seems to be in all of the "rich" areas like Ballantyne. Hopefully once this order is in place, people will start to take heed and we can flatten the curve a little bit. We can't expect help at the federal level so this is going to have be done at a local level..

I don't know how many of yall listen to the "The Daily" but the doctor that was on there today is painting a grim picture...basically saying that we're going to have "mini-Wuhans" in NYC, Seattle, and South Florida. :smh:

BRUH!

These folks still out here having Sunday service and Easter is about to come up. Man, this shit is about to be disastrous.

You can't get these southern black folks to turn away from church for shit!

I asked my neighbor did they have service this past Sunday and he said yes.

Add that to Trump saying he wants to see churches around the country full on Easter. April and May are not going to be good.

At some point, you would think common sense would kick in. People are showing how defiant they are willing to be no matter what the crisis may be.

NC is over 500 cases now, but no deaths have been reported yet. It's only a matter of time until that starts happening.

I have no idea where the cases in Greensboro are coming from. The news just reports Guildford County and that's it.

I really hope I am wrong but all of the shit that We often have (high blood pressure , heart disease , kidney disease , diabetes , obesity ), are the same things that make this shit deadly for people who are younger... :smh: :smh: :smh:

High blood pressure in the 30s seems to be all too common around these parts.

Both my parent have it, so I have been working to make sure mine stay low. Exercising does so many wonders.

I lift and do yoga but I still had that shit for a little bit because of work stress. I had to clean up my diet (reduced salt intake) and started doing more meditation and relaxation exercises. I really hope that people just stay the fuck home for a little while. :smh:

I think the warmer weather just reduces how long it can probably live on the surface and air?

The research is getting there. They have studies that haven't been peer-reviewed(like all the new research surrounding this shit) that indicate warmer weather/humidity help. Also, a researcher in the link I posted says it's more about UV light affecting the virus. That means the longer days may help control this somewhat.

One thing to factor in is the human element. Will people behave in a more reckless manner if they think the warm weather/humidity/longer days protect them? Also, I fear the political aspect of this and other research. In this climate, people are ready to take sides off who relays the info to them and not the info itself. :smh:

UV light has been used to effectively kill bacteria in water. I'm not sure how it will affect the virus, but summer will most likely help control it. But then it's going to come back in the winter again with a vengeance.

Yeah man, just remember that this research is here right now. So if this dies down and comes back with flu season, our politicians have no fucking excuse for having their pants around their ankles once again.

Picture these clowns running around like chicken with their heads cut off during flu season. :smh:

I hope the hot weather slows things down. Can't think of why else the Caribbean, South American, and sub saharan African countries don't have many deaths.

There has been speculation that the anti malaria medicines that are common in those regions provide some protection.
