I was just thinking if anyone had started a thread about this. Glad I came here this am. I am, however, surprised by some of the posts. I agree that panic and denial are useless positions. But i don't agree with the idea that this is just another 'hoax'. I'm also not concerned about myself. I am very healthy but I do worry about others. There is a virus spreading, silently and invisibly throughout the world. It does kill people. Does it kill as many as other diseases, maybe not, but cancers, diabetes, heart disease are contained within the body of the infected/sick person, this is NOT. And the number of people who claim to be immune-compromised is FAR LOWER than actually are. The human race has been destroying it's natural immune systems for 50 years. And, viruses mutate. So, next time might be worse, more virulent than now. And those that get covid-19 and survive or have no symptoms may not be so fortunate next time, and there will be a next time. I think what's missing is that even if a person doesn't die from the virus, they can develop life long issues because of it. So, death is not the only measure of the long term effects of this virus. Plus, as with the flu, a new strain may develop every year or two making control of the problem more and more difficult. It's not hard to imagine a virus like Covid-19 becoming our new reality with deaths each year reaching 10's of thousands like the flu and at the same time never being reported in the media. Regarding children: they do not appear to get the virus, but they do carry it. So, as with healthy adults, children may be vectors for spreading the virus without ever knowing they are infected. Potentially spreading it to another child that takes it home to their immuno-compromised parent or grandparent. How is ignoring and playing down the spread and seriousness of Covid-19 not the same as anti-vacers and measles? I think the real problem, is that we really don't understand the virus, have any plan for controlling the spread. We're flying blind and that's scary. So, taking precautions, thinking of how our actions might affect others and erroring on the side of caution seems to make sense.

Remarkably, SLS is now planning a 'virtual social' in that site's chat room.

Well, we made the right call coming back from our vacation a week early. It's gone from "no toilet paper" to "no frozen vegetables, no frozen fruit, no meat of any kind, no apples, only the worst brand of frozen pizza, bananas are rationed...", but we're pretty well set. We are curfewed like little kids and nearly everything social is closed, as is Ms. E's workplace. On the upside, I managed to get a new set of adjustable dumbbells before they went out of stock so we can work out at home together, we picked up plenty of red wine, and I have what works out to 240 mg of Cialis stockpiled courtesy of my insurance plan, enough for Mrs. E and I to bang more or less continuously for the...60 days, give or take. We'll be alright. Maybe we should self-publish smut or something while we have all this free time.

What a great opportunity/excuse to live out a few fantasies with your own partner. We've had a great week so far.

Some people need 75 or 100 mg due to their problem. But everyone should discuss it with their doctor.

There is only 8 confirmed cases in our province of Saskatchewan! They have already closed schools for the rest of the year and told people that can work from home to stay home. We have put our swinging life on hold for now, until things calm down. Although we are both healthy due to our clean eating habits and daily exercise it is not worth it to us to take a chance of getting it and spreading it to others around us that are not so healthy. Seems like a pretty selfish thing to risk other people’s health to get a little extra on the side.

II realize that since this is about neither sex nor politics that that I am slightly off topic here. I am fascinated by the way that simple normal things have changed in importance and practice. For instance, it occurred to me that borrowing a pen from the desk when signing for orders is not an enlightened aseptic approach. Guess who will need to wear a pocket protector( remember those) for the first time in decades. Any one else see these things going on?

I'm mid-70's and the blue pill is pretty handy for me. I can usually get by with 50 mg, but also take 100 mg. I buy it from a Canadian pharmacy on line, they take my credit card (the credit card company often calls to see if it is a good transaction) and it takes about a month before a package comes from India. I pay in the neighborhood of $1.00 per pill, but they throw in a bunch of Cialis and samples, too. Viagra is sildenafil, a drug originally developed for treating high blood pressure. Some people get headaches, it doesn't last very long (maybe four hours) but it does lower blood pressure. My skin has a good amount of red in it but when I take the "V" my whole face heats up and it looks like I'm leading Santa's sleigh. That is all part of the way the drug works--it directs blood flow to certain places in the body, like the skin surface and the erection. As I said, HANDY! The daily-use tadalfil (Cialis) doesn't do much for me. All of this is done without a prescription.
