Now this is for those of you who unlike me have been in Quarantine for the past several months.

This will help you adapt to having to deal with the Reality of Life again.

So have a laugh or two and enjoy life.

OTHER WASHINGTON STATE RESIDENTS WHO ALSO DID NOT STAY HOME

KIRO7 News March 30, 2020


MOUNT VERNON, Wash. — Dozens of singers from the Skagit Valley Chorale have tested positive for COVID-19, including two people who have died, following a choir rehearsal the group held at the Mount Vernon Presbyterian Church on March 10.
skagit County Public Health said the county's first resident to die because of COVID-19 had attended the March 10 rehearsal – A choir member in her 80s who health officials said had been hospitalized at Skagit Valley Hospital.

Mount Vernon Presbyterian Church told KIRO 7 that the choir is not part of the church but is allowed to rehearse there. The church said there have been no gatherings there since the March 10 choir rehearsal.

March 10?

Was there even a self-incarnation order in place way back then?

Well Washington State and Jay Inslee shutdown the state very quickly and it was back in mid March.

But the key thing from Redblack post is…

A choir member in her 80's

But I do live in Washington State and I have been out several times each week since the shutdown and not once have I worn a mask or will I.

Also I do not Social Distance when I am out.

But Redblack just probably not into humor and the group that does these is located down in the South so not sure how he got Washington State.

I'm sure they're picking every example they can.

I'd love to see the media report all the influenza deaths daily during flu season.

Ok Mithmee you want facts here you go
Skagit Valley is near Mt Vernon on the road between Bellingham and Seattle. It is about 90 miles north of your location in Pierce Washington.

This contact was made before the state shutdown and was at a time when the COVID 19 outbreak was considered to be mild. It is a perfect example of how uncontrolled normal social behavior, singing in a church choir caused infection. The Sagit Valley Health reported stated

Among the 61 choir members who attended the March 10 practice, the median age was 69 years (range = 31–83 years); 84% were women. Median age of those who became ill was 69 years, and 85% of cases occurred in women. Excluding the laboratory-confirmed index patient, 52 (86.7%) of 60 attendees became ill; 32 (61.5%) of these cases were confirmed by RT-PCR testing and 20 (38.5%) persons were considered to have probable infections. These figures correspond to secondary attack rates of 53.3% and 86.7% among confirmed and all cases, respectively. Attendees developed symptoms 1 to 12 days after the practice (median = 3 days). The first SARS-CoV-2 test was performed on March 13. The last person was tested on March 26. ( may 13 2020)

You are in that age category and while you may not become infected you do cause possible exposure to those who can become sick and some may die.

Yes old people will die, sometime, but it should not be as the direct immediate result of going to choir. They should have lived a while longer or could die ion a week but were not given that chance.

You social distance to protect others, Not doing so is a callous disregard of people around you.

Redblack:

Thank you very much for taking the time to explain the situation at the church in Washington state with hard data, sound interpretation and facts.

We wear our PPE to protect ourselves, protect others and set a good example.

We join you in sharing your "joie de vivre" with everyone who will listen!

You social distance to protect others, Not doing so is a callous disregard of people around you.

No the reason why anyone would want to Social Distance is to protect yourself.

Now since I know that the chances of getting this is next to none.

So given that why should I Social Distance myself since I know that I do not have it and not going to get it?

I have been out and about every single week since this started and not once have I Social Distance myself or wear a mask.

This has been over-hyped and it is more about Control & Power then anything else.

The economy was destroyed for no good reason.

Oh and over the past two weeks thousands of individuals have not been Social Distancing themselves while they protested.

I would bet that there will not be a spike in any cases.

Inflated deaths with gunshot victims, individual with a blood level of 0.55 and many others being put down as COVID 19.
