If they can’t keep making bacon I’m going to riot

Happy Easter, y’all. Please be kind to the chocolate bunnies eaten today.

Thanks for the correction. You are right. Should have said monday

I hid some of the more political side posts and ask again that we try to keep that out of this. Let’s just do facts and numbers and not policy decisions on a federal level. I think it’s safe to say that is where everyone will have differing opinions

It’s a know fact that the reason for the snow in the movie Day After Tomorrow was because of coronavirus

I’m not basing this post on anything scientific. I just have a hunch tomorrow might be sneaky and some places see something big around here.

I see that the happy hour runs have the virus

You were imagining Florida

Back to the gin and tonics here. Need this

Keep the politics out of this please. I know it’s a bit intertwined but the discussion today has been mostly free from it

But part of the problem is everyone is just assuming we will get back to the way we used to do things. We might not be able to and that has to be entertained as well. A new way of conducting business could come from this. In some ways we've started to see it with how business has had to adapt to the change. And in some cases its made things better.

Why does the reaper need a space suit?

Because everyone hates sitting behind the slow ass grandma and it will make someone try and pass them with the double lines and then they hit a city bus that shouldn't have passed inspections. But its a risk we take every day.

You can only tax break and incentives to a point. In the end business cares only about profits and wherever cheap labor and lax environmental controls exist thats where they will go.

Especially when reports and briefings were done back as early as January if not earlier

I have legit sat here and thought of how a bowling ball the shape of an apple would actually roll down a lane. And this doesn’t bother me one bit.

The break is too erratic to hit the pocket every throw

He can stay away from my hood too. Let him go party in FL and take cruises too

Sigh. Vending machines cause death too. Let’s use everything I’m not saying shutter everything for months or years but you can only hope to have a return to normal by doing the controls experts recommend. They aren’t motivated to destroy our country. But we have to get the spread of this virus under control before we can even think about doing things like we were just 3 months ago

Or what if the bowling ball has an apple in it?

Clear with a rose in it

If you keep putting people back out there that can spread this virus then you eliminate the ability for individuals to limit the risk. A person can only prepare for so much outside the normal abundance of caution they might be able to do.

That’s just crap. There is more control to keep a bus, train, car, plane safe than this virus. Seriously? This is why there are laws on how things are built. Things are safer now than they were and it’s constantly improving. i have to take my car in every year to make sure it’s safe. A city bus has a regular maintenance schedule. How many people die from a plane crashing in the US each year? come on. You just can’t compare that stuff and this

A lot of what you lost are things we choose and can eliminate. We can’t choose not to get infected. Again the issue is that there isn’t a system in place that can handle a massive number of people all getting sick at once. That is what we are talking about. The risks you bring up are staggered because they all vary as far as people getting hurt or sick. We aren’t all firefighters. We aren’t all in construction. But we all can get this virus and in a very short time. It affects everyone.

We’ve been through way worse and the economy came back. im tired of this “we have to go back” above all else attitude. You are dealing with something that cannot have dollar signs attached to it to quantify risk/reward. This is where we lose our humanity. I much rather have an economy that can be sustained because people are in good health than one constantly wracked with waves of sickness all because we opened too soon. Sorry but the fed and more will do what is needed to soften the blow for most people affected. And to be honest, if our economy is such a house of cards that it can’t recover from this then it was a sham economy to begin with and start from the ashes when it’s over.
