I know. Thankfully my mom has understood what I have told her thus far. BUT...she is stir crazy and is used to going out and running errands. But I had to spell things out for her that A) she's high risk, B) this virus shows no mercy AND some people who are not at risk DIE FROM THIS, C) we don't know why some people die from this. Which means = I COULD DIE FROM THIS TOO.

And then I bust out the numbers:
Generally, in Florida (and it looks like the US):
1. 15% of all COVID-19 patients are hospitalized
2. Right now, 10% of all hospitalizations are DYING
3. That figure will go up AS RESOURCES DEPLETE
4. Given that all cases are going to DOUBLE every 3 days, that means resources will deplete very soon

The only way to keep from becoming a statistic is to STAY THE FUCK HOME.

It doesn't help that the dog currently has diarrhea, so my mom has not been sleeping at ALL because the dog has to go out every 1-1.5 hrs. So she's exhausted, pissed off, and we're cooped up in the house. Granted, it's a big house, but still.
