Just another day. I just read some news articles and again I am more confused about what is going on after reading them all. One "expert" says go outside everything is fine we should be getting back to normal now. The the other "expert" says if you go out side you will die instantly. Okay, maybe I over exaggerate the dying instantly but you get the point. None of these so called experts can agree on anything. I will follow this stay at home thing unless I need to go out, whether that is for food, or cause I just need to get out of the house for a while. I will keep my distance from people and I will be smart about it. I can't stay in the house forever and eventually it will get back to some what normal. At least I hope so. I hope you all are having a good Saturday. Stay healthy my friends.

That’s what frightens me the most about this virus. No one seems to know much about it. Just do what you think is best for you and stay safe and smart.

Pretty much the plan for me, stay in when I have no where to go and be safe when I go out.

I have never seen so much confusion and lies during such a tragic time.

I'm reminded of an old joke. Ask two experts a question and you get three answers. Be as cautious as you can be as we have no idea what is going on.

@Bensen32 The questions are: who knows the truth and who will tell us the truth?

I always have always agreed with the saying there are three sides to the story. There side and the other side and the truth. I just want the truth.

I think you're going the right thing - going out when you have to and being careful about it.

That's the issue with this mess. Conflicting information and stumbling around. In the beginning Fauci and the medical profession swore up and down masks were useless then did an abrupt change of mind. Doesn't provide much confidence on the wishy washy medical "experts" who are basically dictating our lives.

Exactly, I get that maybe they didn't know at first but then maybe your advice as an expert should state that "we think" or "we are still trying to figure this out" not tell it like it's fact when you really don't know.

I stopped following the news on Tv ... I'm afraid not to become an expert and I ... kinda like it's transient

yea, none of it makes sense and depending on what station you watch the news is different.

I try to read up on all angles just so I know what their takes are. But it is hard to sift through it all to find absolute answers - after all we are not experts either - everyone goes by what they think is common sense (and even that differs so greatly). We're staying home and doing all that social distancing stuff . . . but I'm also not zoning out in front of the TV. I'm trying to plan and prepare for the long haul . . . I think things will be quite different in our futures.

I agree, now is the time to make plans and hope things don't change to much. I do a little of the zoning out on TV, computer or I am doing things around the house and trying just to occupy my time.

Yes, very conflicting information. For now we will stay home.

Yeah, might be the best plan at this time.

I would say Anthony Fauci is about as reliable an expert as you can find right now. Stick to reliable news outlets. I hear a fairly consistent story that this is not over and we should all socially isolate at present. I don't feel confused at all.

Yep, got to find someone that you trust, although I find it hard to believe any of them, I always ask, what is their angle.
