Hi @all,

Actually we count a double rate of infections every three days. Around 14,000 (+3,000/last 24h) infections and 30 deaths are already registered, but the infection time of six days until first symptoms become noticable lets assume a much higher estimated number of unknown cases.

Thank you! @sowithoutaneros  for the reminder!

To protect ourselves, our loved ones, the members in our community and beyond, "social distancing" is one of the key actions we could and must take! It is now everyone's responsibility.

WASH hands with Soap for at least 20 sec and wash often.

The only thing we might keep close to our bodies and in our bodies is aneros.

Please stay SAFE & HEALTHY!

I have been practicing social distancing astutely since last weekend, and even more so this weekend. That is what the management of my apartment building wish for us tenants. Earlier today they put out a directive to use the elevator (three floors) sparingly these days. Also washing my hands with soap and water several times a day actually feels really good, even sexual.

Here in California, we've been practicing social distancing all week and will be for the next few weeks at least.  On Wednesday, I had to line up at the grocery store to get in (everyone 6 feet apart) because they were only letting in 40-50 people at a time.  Lots of things closed including bars and restaurants--except for take-out.  Let's hope it'll stop the virus.  It's a new world!

11 times more infections in US than estimated.

Measures are necessary!

Don‘t wait any longer!

The number of cases in Canada is just over 1,000 according to this morning's news.   I suspect this is only what's known and what we don't know could be a lot worst than the published information.  This is most likely the same across the globe.

While staying at home, there may be some opportunities to indulge in a few more sessions and if so, it's a nice way to escape thinking and worrying about the pandemic.

Good luck to everyone and stay safe! 

At the 7 Eleven a couple blocks from my apartment, I saw a sign that read "ten people in the store at one time." Our city government has put out a directive this weekend to stay home and practice social distancing as much as possible to prevent the spread of the corona virus.

Here is a link to another video that makes the math regarding pandemics easy to understand:

Practice social distancing at home: Masturbate. 

Or among this crowd, anerbate. So to speak.

Only now I understand, why this "medical thing" is too much to understand for a single president.

What is happening in New Orleans should serve as a cautionary tale!

New Orleans is now an epicenter of coronavirus. Mardi Gras could be to blame, doctors say.

Anerbating at home with a buddy via video chat could be fun.  That way the only virus you'd have to worry about is a computer virus! 

In US sixty percent content with CORONA crisis management -

while sadly approaching the darkest imaginable "America First".

"The Damage That ‘America First’ Has Done"

"America has dominated the international order for the past seven decades because, although it has been self-interested, it has not been solely self-interested. America First strips away the goodness of America’s international engagement, leaving only the self-interest. Being different and better than that has made us safer and more prosperous. Trump’s foreign policy during this pandemic is revealing the high cost of America alone."

Even if he doesn't at all, nevertheless please take care yourself!

Btw, every single case helps the virus to mutate!

Cheers, Mart

SAD NEWS! I still hoped this would at least take the weekend, not one day! But ...

"Coronavirus Cure Cannot ‘Be Worse Than the Problem Itself"

No comment.

Only the truly cynical idea, why somebody lately wanted to buy Greenland ...

... and the pressing question, how worse the problem first shall become?

Guess what! We have a sudden "hot spot" of cases nearby ... in the next village ... among wedding guests!

US' cases now double China's (lately more and more disbelieved) numbers:

What The New York Times has written ...

Trump’s Briefings Are a Ratings Hit. Should Networks Cover Them Live?

The president’s viewership has rivaled the audiences for hit reality shows and prime-time football. But some worry about misinformation.

[...] And the audience is expanding even as Mr. Trump has repeatedly delivered information that doctors and public health officials have called ill informed, misleading or downright wrong.
The president has suggested that the coronavirus is comparable to influenza, which is far less lethal, and has invoked the death toll of car accidents. He has also encouraged the use of medications that have yet to be proved effective against the virus; on Monday, a man in Arizona died after he and his wife consumed a form of chloroquine, a drug that Mr. Trump has promoted on the air.

... and what has been the answer.

Joseph de Maistre (1753-1821) pointed out:

"Every nation gets the government it deserves."

"False opinions are like false money, struck first of all by guilty men and thereafter circulated by honest people who perpetuate the crime without knowing what they are doing."

This happens all the time ... ... rather sad!

The "asymptomatic" people could already carry and spread the deadly virus.

Doctors have not ruled out the possibility that "recovered" people might get it again...!

As many of you know from my Aneros blog and posts, I live in the Georgetown neighborhood here in Washington, DC. Our mayor a day or so ago put a directive for everyone to maintain strict distancing to slow the spread of COVID-19. Yes, the disease is spreading here too. Trump is making the situation much worse through his daily press conferences, lying, and spreading false information.

Now Trump has a real rival:
