Sorry. I just bristle at the notion that workers are expendable and we have to sacrifice as much as we do to keep jobs and earn an income. I would love for this drastic change to how things are done spur a shift in what we value and how the worker matters more than they do now. People are suffering and I am still very lucky to have what I have. But it is a risk and I dont want others to be subjected to it if they dont have to. I keep hearing how essential workers should be given a bonus or this or that. If I am eligible for one because of what I do I would rather it go to someone else who even risked more than me or someone really affected by this and needs to pay bills or buy food.

too many shitheads shaving their heads and flushing

Have you gone into your job every day? I know I have. Because my job and place of work needs to stay open. And what I do doesn't give the luxury of office work every day. My fear of going out is replaced by having to be the sole income earner for my family. So while you armchair QB there are plenty of people just like me who have done all we can to work and not get sick. To force people to go in just because there is a cubicle empty is irresponsible. And to threaten firing is even more so. Accommodations have already been made for many to work and can still be done that way.

So maybe its up to business to change the dynamic. More people can work from home and still get shit done so who needs a ton of office space. You seem to contradict yourself by insisting business just fire people and find others if they can just work from home.

So you lose your job because work wants to risk your life. Gotta love capitalism. This is exactly what we are trying to avoid. The need to work over health and safety.

This is after I saw something last night that numbers were improving for VA. Seems the weekend lag is the cause.

The morning looks like it could be more cloud free than previous threat days. Might be a sneaky severe day. Jinx! No Jinx!!

Same. We have got to get more testing going and what Hogan did on his own was such a smart move

Just think of how infected Nakatomi Plaza would have been if John McClain was COVID positive fighting Hans

Remember in the Grapes of Wrath how people fled the dust bowl to CA looking for employment? well now 20 million people who can’t work will all travel to GA to be hair dressers and massage therapists

My list of things NOT to do after this is all over grows. I'm adding never visiting GA to that.

My dad was born in 1936 so he was a part of the tail end of the Great Depression and jumped right into WW2/ The stuff he told me of what they did/didn't have as a kid was stunning. Now we have groups of people going out to protest and butthurt they can't get a damn haircut or lawn gnomes with ease. There are just ridiculous narratives being pushed when reality is that a ton of people will suffer if we don't listen to the experts.

It feels that for some of these people it was a chance to dust off old signs they had from the last march/protest they went on which was totally unrelated to the current situation. Even if the signs are new the bad spelling remains.

Depends. A constipated one is easier than a taco bell one. More firm and doesn't get mushy. Y'all enjoy breakfast now.

I had help but cut my own hair last week. Its not nearly as good as the lady i go to but its not bad. I would need a lot more practice to get that good. If and when we go back to normal I'll go back to her. She uses a straight razor for the detail work. She's got a steady hand. I don't And agree on cruises. Eff that. As far as other things? Maybe concerts until we have things under control and most have some immunity built up.

Welcome to the Phin vortex where he argues just to argue and win internet debates

What bothered me is that I just don’t have enough scars to be in a scar off contest. I have 3 and one was self inflicted. Cone of shame.

Or when you off to help two kids trying to sail a boat in the lagoon

If he had the virus when he went fishing at night the coroner will say it was COVID as cause of death. Not the massive shark bites and hanging eyeball

I dunno. Just went on a walk and the breeze was not too bad

Some won’t be happy until everyone has it and they can go get their lawn fertilizer with less people around because they are dead

You just perfectly demonstrated the problem with acceptable risk. You risked reading it and now are permanently damaged.

Before we declare that people under 50 that recover are all fine and dandy, have there been studies done to check on these people to see if they have or will have any long term effects from this? when stats say that people who get it and recover come back fully then I’ll say the risk of getting it is worth it. Until then when medical people say it will eff you up regardless of age I prefer to keep recommendations in place and not get it

Dr. Phil gave us Bhad Bhabie. The hell if he is still some sort of medical expert.

Nah, its not insensitive. Its having hope that the worst is behind us and the measures people are taking has helped slow things from being worse. Yes, these deaths are tragic and many are losing loved ones. What's insensitive is trying to rationalize and justify a certain number of deaths that are acceptable just so things can get reopened sooner. Not you doing that but rumblings are beginning. Its easy to have a cavalier attitude about it when you have the means to limit risk. And no one is 100% invincible to it. A person that gets it might be lucky and do ok but its not guaranteed. i know I don't want to get it and take that chance. Wife, kids, friends might be a little sad if I croak.
