Covid 19 thread

Don’t be silenced.

No one is silencing him. He apparently has decided to self quarantine.

As to Les, he has had copious warnings about getting into scraps with people, being extremely disrespectful to other members and moderators, and turning threads political. We finally had enough. And I don't want to see any of the bullshit about taking sides. We have removed members from both political bents after the member has been unable to resist even when given miles of rope. When a member becomes too much work for our staff and sours the mood of countless threads, he will be shown the door. Les has been shown the door.

That's pretty hilarious. Sad - but hilarious.

I must have missed where Les posted anything political.

Guess so.

There's 8 years of posting history there. His lengthy rope of nine lives has ended here. This thread has little overall bearing on the decision by the moderation team.

That's probably true. I don't pay attention to soccer. I played the shit out of it as a kid, but man I just can't bring myself to watch it for very long. And I'm tellin' ya. A few more penalties a game in the NFL, and I may not be able to watch that anymore either.

My wife is currently flying the casino junkets for the Casinos in NJ. So far the flights have been about 2/3 full.

By not caring about these businesses and their employees, the politicians are showing they care. After all... they have the ultimate income security in these situations.

Then they should take a leap of faith and close down their offices, their gyms, their movie theaters and their children's learning institutions.

Yeah, I totally agree. ROD and politics/religion don't mix. Nor does attacking others verbally.

Then you probably never disagreed with him... He wasn't shy about reflecting his personal opinion be it political or not. I hope he is able to self-assess and make amends, and come back.

I realize that. But for now seeing the mortality trailing down is nice to see.

I expect by summer we'll see something below 1% and people will realize this is an overreaction. We'll see.

it's not about the death rate, it's about hospitals filling up with virus victims and not being able to cope with the volume of sick people.

Am I prepping no. I have been witness to people going apeshit crazy. And in places it should not be happening. My opinion and that's all it is, is that there is something we are not being told. This maybe due to my natural conspiracy theory out look on things. At 58 there are things I am seeing I have never seen before. Makes me wonder.

What do you think we are not being told?
Just curious

With all due respect not gonna bite on that. I will point too believing any rational person could sit down and make a list. And with the chaos that has ensued with the little bit of information that we do have. Which I would have never imagined. I could see where our government might put the brakes on in the interest of keeping the peace. Again just opinion.

I have some jars of gift jam from 10 years ago and some popcorn if they close down the stores. Meh, I always needed to lose a few pounds....
