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.
I hope that my neighbors don’t turn me in.
I just ate a big meal of pork and beans.
All of the coughing in Oregon is people smoking weed.
Some folks apparently are calling 911 if they run out of toilet paper.
= = =
We need a separate bin for recycling toilet paper.
Then you can go down to the town/county/state recycle center for your next supply.
50/50 dry mix of table salt and baking soda.

Not Iodized salt.
Haha!
There are theories that that might have been early Captain Trips (CV), from which you’ve already recovered and are immune.
There is no better sign of hyped BS than some article that claims that 5 panicked morons calling the cops is a sign of mass hysteria. 5 people out of thousands. Miniscule.
Well, I hope so....but I am taking care of an elderly mom...so I have to be careful.
We almost lost her at T’giving with pneumonia/sepsis. And I pray I didn’t give her anything. But I kept my distance from her and washed constantly.
“Sneeze something, say something”
Why?
I’ve been using it for years, regular Morton’s..............
And the assholes making these phone calls should have their skulls caved in with a baseball bat, IMO.
Or they use clean t-shirts and other clean rags around the house. Part of our SHTF prepping is 5 gallon buckets to be lined with grocery or garden bags. Do your business and twist it closed and put aside to possibly be used again. In a pinch (pun inteneded) cut up some old sheets and there are more wipes. Sheesh. Does no one have any commonsense anymore? They call 911?
I felt a tiny cough coming on this morning at work, but waited until I got outside to cough!
People are going bat sh*t crazy, and the Fake News is loving this! Hysteria will be the reason our economy collapses, not Coronavirus!
Current death toll from COVID-19 worldwide is: 7,950! Most people recover from this! The majority who’ve died from this are elderly or suppressed immune systems! Isn’t it interesting that our Fake News always ignores these facts?
We are being played by our Fake News, and this hysteria has the potential to do catastrophic damage to our economy!
The local newspaper makes a good emergency TP. Or the NY Times national edition
Best to you and your family.
I don't believe we are being played by MSM. This particular virus is highly contagious as seen by the world-wide pandemic. However, I agree it is doing significant economic damage to America and other nations. Once the virus flattens out, there's no telling how long the economical damage will last. That is the big question.
The silver lining I see is the de-coupling from China's control of many industries, as Pres. Trump warned.
I wouldn't use ANY paper that has gone through so many hands. Clean home rags will suffice.
Sounds like a 14 day quarantine is in order.
In first aid training you are taught to use News Papers as splints and bandages, The automated process and heat used in printing means a news paper is actually pretty sterile. There are no hands that touch anything but the edge.
