The biggest challenge is not being able to just go to the store. I find myself waiting until I have to purchase essentials, a large shop and scheduling a pickup with my pharmacy. I don't want to take unnecessary trips, I want to minimize contact with anyone at this point. I even have my doc appointments over the phone. I sure don't want to sit in a reception area if there are people who are already ill sitting around without gloves and a mask. The biggest challenge is staying home rather than physically going to the store as needed rather than a planned trip. It's more inconvenient to shop right now, but I don't want to sick either.
Whatever Trump says, believe the opposite. The man's a psychopathic liar wholly unfit for this job and criminally negligent.

The ONLY reasonably reliable source for information is the CDC. I ABSOLUTELY TOTALLY DISTRUST all the REPORTING BY the MAINSTREAM MEDIA! THEIR DISTORTION AND OUTRIGHT LIES HAVE MADE THEM TOTALLY UNTRUSTWORTHY IN MY EYES. The worst offenders are NBC and CNN but all are guilty! Their obvious bias and twisted reporting clearly shows they are managed and directed by extremist liberal elements dedicated to the dismantling of the Constitution of the United States in favor of their Socialist Agenda. Facebook allows the continuous spreading of misinformation and outright lies and worse still actively censors many (Most?) individuals who challenge the lies and disinformation. Everyone is so busy trying to put a political spin on every piece of data and statement that it resembles a TORNADO OUTBREAK! And I am astonished that no one seems to realize that approximately 10 times as many people die every day due to other causes than CoronaVirus related deaths! Lord protect America from liberal idiots who continuously focus on all the wrong things.

YES, I FIND INFORMATION ABOUT PAST VIRUSES AND HOW THEY WERE HANDLE. LIKE IN 2003, A BUSINESS MAN FROM CHINA WHO HAD THE SARS VIRUS WENT TO THE PHILIPPINES AND INFECTED MANY PEOPLE AND THEY INFECTED MORE PEOPLE. THE MAN WENT BACK TO CHINA AND INFECTED IN HIS COUNTRY. AFTER PEOPLE STOPPED DYING A GROUP OF DOCTORS WHO WERE ALSO INVESTIGATORS ASKED THIS QUESTION "WHY DID 600 PEOPLE IN CHINA DIE BUT ONLY 2 PEOPLE IN THE PHILIPPINES DIE? AFTER MANY MONTHS OF INVESTIGATING THEY SAID "THE PEOPLE IN CHINA DO NOT COOK THEIR FOOD IN ORGANIC VIRGIN COCONUT OIL, BUT THE PEOPLE IN THE PHILIPPINES DO" SO THEY RAN TESTS OF THE SARS VIRUS AND COCONUT OIL AND FOUND THAT THE ACIDS IN THE OIL WOULD MAKE A HOLE IN THE SHELL OF THE VIRUS AND THEN KILL AND PROTEINS WHICH KILLS THE VIRUS. THIS WHAT I DO TO FIND INFORMATION ABOUT HEALTH PROBLEMS. JUST LIKE I WANTED TO KNOW HOW MY MOTHER DIED OF CANCER. I FOUND OUT AND IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH HER FAMILY HAVING CANCER, NONE OF THEM HAD CANCER, BUT MY MOTHER USED A PRODUCT CALLED MUM FOR HER UNDER ARM AND THIS PRODUCT HAS ALUMINUM IN IT WHICH CAUSED THE CANCER.
THE FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT WILL NOT USE A FRUIT TO KILL THE VIRUS, THIS IS ORGANIC VIRGIN COCONUT OIL. THE PEOPLE IN THE PHILIPPINES KNOW THIS AND THE OLDER PEOPLE WHO LIVE THERE USE IT TO COOK THEIR FOOD IN EVERYDAY. EVEN IF THEY DON'T KNOW THAT IT KILLS ALL VIRUSES IN THEIR BODY, THEY STILL USE IT. THE PROBLEM IN THEIR COUNTRY IS THE FACT THAT THE YOUNGER PEOPLE DO NOT USE COCONUT OIL OR NOT ENOUGH TO HELP THEM. I USE IT EVERYDAY IN MY BREAKFAST, THE LAST TIME I GOT THE FLU WAS IN 1993 AND SAME YEAR MY FATHER PAST AWAY. I KNOW THIS OIL WORKS BUT OUR GOVERNMENT HAS A BIG PROBLEM, THEY CAN NOT TELL ANYONE ABOUT THIS OIL BECAUSE THE DRUG COMPANIES HAD A LAW PAST PROTECTING THEM AND THE FDA IS DOING EVERYTHING TO DO THAT, PROTECTING THEM. TRUMP CAN'T SAY OR USE THIS OIL. ALL HE CAN DO IS USE WHAT HE HAS IN FRONT OF HIM AND I THINK IT IS KILLING HIM INSIDE. I TELL EVERYONE I KNOW AND PEOPLE I DON'T KNOW. ALL THOSE PEOPLE ARE DEAD BECAUSE OF GREEDY DRUG COMPANIES.
