Spreading what if they are healthy? People coughed and hacked long before COVID. Man you are paranoid and negative. And that's true, people do care more about themselves as they should.

Stebo there is no stopping the virus -- as several doctors have told me it will infect mostly everyone. Not sure how you consider people traveling to be selfish. If they are healthy they are doing what they should be doing -- living life normally (assuming they are taking the necessary safety precautions). Looking at it from a different perspective -- is it selfish for those that have (controllable) chronic conditions who are at a higher risk for complications to expect the healthy population to lockdown?

Some pretty good analogs out there for the upcoming Winter -- 1995/1996 - 101.1" at CLE 2003/2004 - https://www.weather.gov/cle/Climate_Snowfall_2003-04 2007/2008 - https://www.weather.gov/cle/Climate_Snowfall_2007-08 2012/2013 - https://www.weather.gov/cle/Climate_Snowfall_2012-13

The percentage may be slightly off (97% - 99%) but you get the point.

Yep... and there's the rub.

Question for you Stebo (and Hoosier) -- curious as to why you don't comment when someone posts "go big or go home" or "500k here we come"?

Wtf. Get off on what you fool? You are the one all lathered up.

My post was tongue in cheek. There's so much fear mongering in this thread my post should be the least of your concerns.

That's good to hear. Now that the virus has weeded out the weak from the herd we can get back to traveling . I haven't traveled at all since February... most of my travel was business related any way. Since its Friday its probably a lot of leisure travel which is surprising.

But I'm woke, Bruh. ... kids these days. Personally, I don't care if someone works in a tree house as long as they get the job done. I don't there are many companies requiring anyone to come to an office. A balanced approach as you mentioned is ideal. The only issue is when someone tells me they are scared to come to the office because of COVID -- like its chasing them around when the leave their home. Unless you have a very valid (health) reason to be scared that is a non-starter.

Yep. Pre-COVID data really doesn't hold up. The point I was trying to make is that it is even harder for employees to work/focus from home with kids, spouses, etc. around -- now throw in all of the other time they waste on the items I posted and its not a recipe for success.

Are there any recent studies that take into account home schooling kids, having significant others at home, etc? I'd be surprised if they still showed increased productivity.

I own the business -- these are people I pay. Can't imagine what your %'s would be - 90% internet trolling?

40 somethings - porn, sports and news websites - 32% of day spent on those sites 30 somethings - apparel, sports, social networks - 40% of day spent on those sites 20 somethings - social networks, apparel - 44% of day spent on those sites

You watch too many sitcoms. What type of environment do you work in?! So instead of wasting time IN the office (see examples above), many employees are now losing productivity OUT of the office with the many distractions at home. As a business owner I will say that employees are more productive in the office. This may be somewhat unique to my industry but we have software to track employee productivity -- and it has fallen off of a cliff since people started working from home. There's just no disputing the reporting I receive.

Terrible story. But I wonder if hospitals are attributing/classifying more deaths to COVID since receive $13k per person from the government. Healthcare is big business... Cleveland Clinic was running a $44 million dollar deficit -- now they are encouraging patients to come back for routine health visits.

We are probably near or at peak. The rain and wind yesterday took a lot of leaves down in my yard. I'd say we are week or so ahead of schedule with the foliage. I could do without the frigid temps in November -- cools the lake too quickly. I wouldn't complain about swimming in October -- sad to see the warm temps go.

Nice to see this on the models again...

That's a bunch of malarkey.

Honestly, you lost me. Is this LeBron on a weather forum? Its things like bailing out the airlines that give cause for concern... along with the additional $600 per week in unemployment. There are lots of jobs available right now. But why work when you get paid more to do nothing -- but that is a whole different discussion. Do you object to using a billion from the 2+ trillion toward funding the drug cocktail that Hoosier referenced?

Not that hot actually as they have been negotiating for months. Remove the non-COVID crap from the bill and its gets passed. The stimulus isn't meant to be a looting spree.

Oof. That's expensive. Perhaps some of the stimulus money could have gone in to funding this... or get another stimulus passed that includes it? Surprised that none of the politicians have discussed that -- or maybe big pharma' $$$ is to important.

Hopefully they can start mass producing whatever drug cocktail they gave him. Sounds promising.

Where did you read that? Sounds like something from an entertainment website :). Its posts like that which derail the thread and stoke the Trump fire. Everyone wants to blame someone -- at what point do people start shifting their eyes to where the virus originated?

Lol... Is this some type of reverse psychology? I didn't see one post in here blaming 'leftists", all fingers point right in the blame game. Like Alek said, we're all gonna die so eat, drink and be merry. Our time is limited.
