Still amazed at the passes some folks get on this board given 99% of the other posters said similar things, a mod would be all over it.

Don't tell em to take it to the TBox, or you'll get banned like me

You can’t just shut the country down for months...it would destroy our economy and education system

 

Majority of the people on this site (stirs) are living proof that your educational system has been destroyed for quite some time

Yes, pay no attention to stats and facts, Twitter is truth

[CBDellinger]

Yes.  But maybe not until they have a vaccine, drug therapy to treat the virus or at least the proper facilities and tools to take care of the infected.

right call

IOC most corrupt organization in the world....no way they would keep athletes safe

IOC was actually pushing to cancel it all together. Japan was pushing to keep it this year since the IOC was just going to cancel the whole thing. Athletes pushed for next year and got the support of both. Best possible solution.

The bill proposed by Pelosi, D-Calif., additionally seeks to eliminate debt held by the U.S. Postal Service, require same-day voter registration, pay off $10,000 in student debt per person, mandate that airlines reduce their overall carbon emissions by 50 percent by 2050, and force federal agencies to explain to Congress how they are increasing their usage of "minority banks”

Actually, the original program started under Reagan.  All that was done under Bush was to add wireless phones to the program.

I'd like to see how that plan works when you say "hey, if you have asthma, you no longer have a job.  Everyone else, back to work.  By the way, everyone with asthma please raise your hand now.  Wait, noone?"

Ok, what about this idea. Lets start the official lockdown nationwide starting on Monday for 14 days. During the 14 days we create as many freaking test as possible and mask. At the end of the 14 days everyone born on a lottery picked month or 7-8 days of a month gets tested each day. Should you come back negative, you are allowed to leave your house with a mask, qr code/bracelet and not allowed to visit anyone else without a qr code/bracelet, if you do and are caught you get 1 year in jail. If you test positive, you are quarantined an additional 14 days automatically. As this rolling unlocking takes place we will eradicate the virus by forcing anyone with it to isolate 14 days at a time until symptoms disappear. The reason this virus is unstoppable is asymptomatic carriers and the half-measures the USA is doing is like a blip on the radar for this virus.

LA has more deaths than NJ or CA.

Really screwy down in Cajun country.

Totally understand NYC issue, not sure what they do about it, besides complain.  Cuomo has his hands full.  Lots of them fleeing to FL

The NY diaspora is a problem. On the one hand, I can't blame those with the means to get out for getting out. On the other hand, this is going to spread a lot of carriers.

I'm curious to see what happens when too many people start losing everything they have worked for and collectively say we will take our chances and get back to work......man this is a tough mess.
