just a share:

about a week before all hell broke loose, an old, dear, younger friend, almost in his 60's, came by to
bring us some fresh grapefruit that a friend had told them to come on over and get all you want -
he's been sharing citrus with us for decades: anyway, we hadn't seen him or his wife in a while
and we were very pleasantly surprised when he stopped by to bring us such a wonderful gift -
he was kind of in a hurry, but while we were interacting and getting up to date, he told us
that he had just gotten over the 'flu' and that his wife was 'almost there' but not feeling
up to par just yet -
we both were definitely 'hands-on' with him and I gave him an extremely huge HUG,
because I love him so much..........................................................................................................

got one more:
we have a very, very, precious friend/child, (50) who works in a prison, who mother told us that she
was exposed to the virus while on duty in the hospital - her mother told us that she was distancing
herself from her daughter and warning us to do so also - well she came by as usual under usual circumstances
and we interacted as usual; and then just a couple of days ago, she came by on her way home on her tractor,
and we again exchanged our usual greeting ways - actually, I never even gave it a thought about what her mother
had said, we just inter-acted as usual...

ya'll who know us have to remember our life-style and the way we eat and grow our own food, but most of all,
remember Who we claim as our Lord and Master, 'He prospers us in many ways and keeps us in good health,
and heals us from all diseases'...

that seemed harsh thing to say about her daughter, I mean just because she was in a hospital where a patient was and exposed doesn’t mean she automatically is positive for the virus, if she was I would think she would do the right thing and let 14 days go by to make sure the virus is squashed and can no longer transmit to anyone else, being she worked for a prison even prisons has order on the administration side of it.

Jam,
it wasn't harsh at all, her mother was simply reacting in common 'fear' as most who are in the world do' -
and her daughter has to PAY her dues and bills first, as anyone who lives in and serves the world,
thus NOT thinking or prioritizing about 'Godly principles'...

Fear isn’t a good way to handle this, being calm and sensible about it goes a long way.

I’m not saying the world is not fearing I get that no doubt, that is why all the stuff is off the food shelves mostly the toilet paper and bread that shows a feared mentality don’t even know what to get but toilet paper and bread.

He quote CATO as one of his sources. Here is what they have posted, which is also what WHO said about SARS:

For perspective, the SARS coronavirus killed 774 people out of 8096 known cases in 2003, which was a death rate of 9.6% before it vanished the next year. Bird flu in 1997 was predicted to be a deadly pandemic, but it killed very few people before it disappeared. In its February 22 U.S. Influenza Surveillance Report, “CDC estimates that so far this season there have been at least 32 million flu illnesses… and 18,000 deaths from flu.” Dividing 18,000 by 32 million implies a low U.S. death rate of .0138% from the flu. Looking at the death rate alone is obviously not enough: We also have to look at the numbers of people infected, and the duration of the epidemic, which is why the flu killed so many more people than SARS. Still, it is important to avoid scaring people about the risk of death from COVID-19 by continuing to ignore the fact that the vast majority of cases “have mild disease and get better without needing any special care.”

The CATO institute is part of the reason we are in this mess to begin with with their globalist trade policies. They are shills for corporatism, and I would probably take the word of a tribal witch doctor over them when it comes to such matters.
