  1. We are considering home schooling because we figure in the fall it will be the same and we will be doing most of the work anyway...
  2. Why are you sassing me and not the people posting racist crap and fear porn here today?
  3. The 401k thing is a red herring. Most people are worried about paying bills and buying food.
  4. Was it the overt racism that put you over the edge?
  5. Some people are actively rooting for the “red states” opening early to have massive outbreaks. They are predicting it with gusto, in fact.
  6. LOL gotta love the fear porn from random Twitter people. ”it literally boils you alive !!! Ahhh stay home or die!!” unless you work for Amazon then please keep delivering me cat food!
  7. I would agree with that. My kids are all 5th grade or younger. If I was a junior in HS this would be OK, maybe even 8th grade and up if the student is really diligent and self-motivating.
  8. No disagreement here. We will all have a different view of this complex cost/benefit analysis. There is no easy answer.
  9. Distance learning is definitely not working... at least not for us.
  10. And where is your source for "And it's still higher than "just the flu" " for people under 20? I haven't seen that at all.
  11. I can only imagine the self-righteous anger that will bubble forth from the #StayAtHome crowd when we see that the states that opened early are fine. It's going to take a long time for people to heal mentally. Brace yourselves for it, guys.
  12. Where do you get that the CDC "believed them"? Also, the WHO at one time "believed" China that human-to-human transmission was impossible and about a week ago appeared to "believe" that there was no evidence that catching COVID-19 and recovering conveys immunity, but OK.
  13. Young people being under 20. They don't die from COVID-19 at all (yes there are outliers like in any natural system). Flu is way deadlier. I have no idea why the myth of young people dying from this disease is still so prevalent. I guess because otherwise the death narrative starts to fall apart.
  14. North Korea has reported zero deaths as well, so I guess this guy wants us to follow their approach too. LOL
  15. Data from Vietnam that there are zero deaths actually perfectly fits my narrative that this disease is not as bad as we think... but I can clearly see their data is total BS. Vietnam is a poor country that would not have been able to hold deaths at zero. That doesn't make any sense at all.
  16. LOL and mappy was so worried about my posts disrupting the calm vibe here but now we have forky and trix dropping racism all over the place and not a peep. I hope the pearl-clutchers here who are aghast at my posts hammer that report button when they read that crap.
  17. LOL The data very clearly says kids don't die from COVID-19 or really even become seriously ill. Flu is way deadlier for them. But yeah, data from the communist dictatorships in China and Vietnam is a better source. Yup, zero deaths in Vietnam.
  18. Come on, this goes way beyond that. You work in a sector that is not as affected by the shutdowns (and may be doing better because of them). Most are not so lucky.
  19. Hyperbole is stating here matter of factly that Vietnam has had zero deaths and China nearly eradicated the virus.
  20. In the huge span of this global disease, kids don't die from COVID-19 AT ALL. Yes, there are reports of a tiny, tiny handful of deaths in kids with a positive COVID test. I know you are a super pedantic and specific person and to you this means "kids die from this virus too!" Most others here know exactly what I meant.
  21. Report it and see what happens. LOL
  22. OK, have fun lurking in the thread and quietly raging the rest of the afternoon. LOL
  23. Humans are really bad with numbers, statistics, and determining cost versus benefit. Ask 1,000 random young people if we should try to save as many elderly lives as possible no matter the cost, and they will say yes. Tell them it will cost 10 trillion dollars and cause 40% of them to lose their jobs, the results would change.
  24. There are more states in the union than MD, hard to believe I know!
  25. I truly think some Americans either forgot or never realized little Susie can already get a bad flu at school, bring it home, and send grandma into the ICU with deadly pneumonia. I really am seeing some people who think that risk never really existed before and it is a new deadly threat we need to address aggressively... we are so stupid.
