I miss the good old days when we could call 911 when we suspected neighbors of being communists.
Now things have changed our youth is turning to socialism and communism while people started to call the cops if their neighbor coughs or sneeze.
As the Desert Sun reported some Coachella Valley police departments say they’ve started fielding 911 reports from concerned callers convinced a neighbor’s overly loud sneeze or hacking cough is proof the person has the virus.
Palm Springs police estimate dispatchers had about five of these calls last week, Sgt. Mike Casavan said.
Cathedral City police Cmdr. Paul Herrera said dispatchers with his department, who also handle 911 calls from the neighboring city of Desert Hot Springs, fielded similar calls.
In many cases, the calls are forwarded to the fire department where paramedics are also dispatched to directly provide any needed medical attention before transporting the person to an area hospital.
Authorities say they can’t ignore such calls or discount them as paranoia, hypochondria or fakery. They must respond even when every other public entity adopts “social distancing” in order to reduce possible coronavirus transmission.
There have been 486 confirmed cases of coronavirus in the state of California, which has a population of nearly 40 million. Six people have died.
Liberals always tend to overreact.
Yes, follow commonsense practices for hygiene, take care of yourself. Seek medical help if necessary. Do NOT surrender to fear. Fear is our biggest enemy.
Remember the good old days when you used to cough to cover a fart, now it’s the other way around.
Please share this article wherever you can. It is the only way we can work around their censorship and ensure people receive news about issues that Democrats and the mainstream media suppress.
You keep posting this without clarifying who's "censorship" and why are they "censoring" you?
Pollen has arrived in Georgia.
I’m going to occasionally sneeze.
Dear Lord! I have allergies all the time, year-round. There is no need to call the emergency hotline when you see me sneezing or coughing, my eyes water too. People, Please limit your stupidity to things you can control because this virus isn’t one of them.
Yes, and the cops will respond to these calls deadly "welfare checks".
Haha! Awesome. Red Flag laws for Coronavirus. Make yourself useful. Stay vigilant! :-)
Yes, my allergies are starting here in NW Florida...............
Don’t think this is the testing by the powers that be. They take note. They are watching and remembering the insane reactions to a little bit of pressure.
Jesus, we really are a nation of sheep.
“This is why people need to turn their TVs off and put their phones down.”
And go shopping?!
“Remember the good old days when you used to cough to cover a fart, now it’s the other way around.”
Best laugh I’ve had all day.
</grin>

Same here. I’ve been running a low-grade fever, off and on, fighting hay fever. Tussin and Nasonex help a lot.
I had a booger of a cold in early Nov. I caught from the plane ride back from Israel. Woman coughed up a lung two seats down. Ugh.
Some folks apparently are calling 911 if they run out of toilet paper. Here’s a clue: Use paper towels if necessary.
Where do these people find the time in between their TP shopping?
THIS HELPS A LOT.....WAS RECOMMENDED BY MY ENT DOC.
TAKES A LITTLE GETTING USED TO, BUT IT WORKS!

(When you run out of the supplied packets of powder mix, don’t buy more, just use 1/4 TEASPOON of a 50/50 dry mix of table salt and baking soda. I keep a sealed small tupperware bowl of it at all times...........)
You also can’t go wrong with a salt water gargle.
After you get used to using it, you will wonder what all the fuss is over ‘waterboarding’!....................
