The number of infected people is way higher than is being reported. Only a very limited number of people are allowed to be tested (those who have the “clasdic” symptoms) even though they know that many people have unusual symptoms, or are asymptomatic. Because these people aren’t being tested they are out spreading the infection even further.

IF PEOPLE WOULD ACTUALLY PARENT AND KEEP THIER KIDS FROM RUNNING THE ROADS INSTEAD OF ACTING LIKE ITS SUMMER TIME AND DOING AS THEY PLEASE, ITS A STAY AT HOME ORDER PEOPLE, NOT SUMMER TIME.

Stop hoarding medical supplies. 1)stay home 2)cover your cough/sneeze 3)wash hands.

The problem is we get nowhere when we are told to stay home, yet stupid people flock to beaches and churches and continue to worship the dead in weddings and funerals.
And allow foreign cruise ships to dock and passengers to exit and travel

We need to get to work on this crisis. Society should look back to 2001 and watch the blockbuster hit “Bubble Boy” and get to work! It doesn’t seem safe in our own homes.

If everyone were to wear something over their face and wash their hands constantly. (This does not have to be a mask could be a scarf). The virus would slow down because the likelyhood of an asymptomatic person spreading it while wearing a mask or scarf would be very small.

Now more then ever is a great time to use the self-checkouts located at most big stores.

Do not wear gloves unless you know how to keep from cross contaminating and have several pairs to change into once the gloves are contaminated! I see people grocery shopping wearing gloves while at the same time digging in their purse and talking on their phones holding the phone in the gloved hand! You are not protecting yourself or others if you do not know how to use gloves properly!! You’re better off not wearing gloves and using hand sanitizer or washing your hands!

If you’re wearing gloves walking around the grocery store, all you’re doing is cross contaminating everything that you touch, and then taking the groceries that you contaminated with your gloves on home with you.
Wash your hands. Leave the gloves for healthcare workers that desperately need them. Leave the N95 masks for the healthcare workers that are in contact with sick people every day, and are having to go without adequate PPE because of people misusing them (non-healthcare workers wearing them, in any circumstance)

Wearing gloves will not save you. In fact many people are probably cross contaminating. Gloves aren’t changed after every customer in the grocery store, they touch my groceries, handle cash and then touch your stuff. If this is in fact spread by droplets a mask isn’t going to protect you. It will keep those infected from spreading but not the other way around. The only masks that will work are ones that are required to have people fit tested. If the fit isn’t perfect you will get sick. Wash your hands, don’t touch your face and stay home. Don’t congregate at the creek or river this will only have us quarantined for longer.

I agree. Wear gloves and something on your face. We are all in this together. Don’t be the weakest link. We all need to do our part.
