I heard it was fake news but this shows it must be real. I'm not trusting any story about corona right now because so many people on both sides are liars. So it was fake news that the sign was fake. Nice. Yes I concede the sign apparently was real. The person holding it must really be something else. How in the frick can anybody use NAZI slogans or drawings when we realize what disgusting murderers they were? https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/pritzker-auschwitz-memorial-museum-condemn-use-of-nazi-slogans-at-reopen-illinois-rally/2265623/

The Pence boxes story BTW was fake news. Boxes were full; he cut a joke about the empty boxes, didn't deliver fake boxes. Fake.

Good point but mine is about feeling good. The long hair annoys me and itches.

Great post. I liked it. My answer here would be it's to their advantage because if they want to attack us with troops on our mainland, it behooves them to have a totally weakened USA. My take is they are a danger in terms of attacking us with germ warfare, then physical war. If they win I don't want to be alive and be tortured by them. Just my tale that they may desire to take over the USA in terms of ruling our people. I was wondering if you felt they had world domination in mind from living there.

I had the worst cough I've ever had. But I really don't think I ever had a fever. I had something.

Caulfield I consider you a good person and good guy and smart person. Hence the question to someone who lives in China. Do you get the feeling a.) Chinese people feel like they are controlled and harassed by the government? Do they live in fear of the regime? And b.) I personally feel China is America's enemy, a vicious enemy, a horrible enemy that would love to invade the USA when applicable and take over the world basically -- maybe get in some agreement in Russia after they take over the USA, then work on Russia later and take over there. My Q is: Do you agree with my take? Living there, do you sense they are planning a coup so to speak? Do you think they despise us and want to reign over the world? Thanks Caulfield. I respect your takes. p.s. Bonus question: Did they create this virus on purpose? Basically they have a lot more people than we do and can afford to lose population with a tyranist regime. Meanwhile, they are totally weakening America via the virus and making us mean to each other and very vulnerable.

thanks turnin, i'm still holding out. My hair is long and itchy. And I feel like I did in high school with long long hair. I know where I can get a bootleg haircut but greg is abiding by the rules. Even tho politicians aren't. I hate washing my hair now. It takes a lot longer. I can't believe how long I've been without human contact. I have to talk on the phone a lot so I don't notice it as much as I would otherwise, but I never see human beings anymore. I'd always go on lunch dates; dinner with peeps who I'd go out with. Coffee, regular Monday luncheons with pals. Now nothing and nobody seems to care about my mental health. Again, six weeks ago it's all we cared about in America: mental health of all people at all times, all groups. People lambasting me for that incident at my Subway, etc. Now real mental health issues for MANY Americans and crickets: Suck it up and wear a mask buddy and shut up.

Will There Be a 2020 Season?
It would really boost a lot of spirits if we have baseball in our home parks. That would be fricking awesome. I still can't believe this bad ass virus is going to be sickening/killing people in June, July and August. That's not traditionally sick season. Heaven forbid how bad it will be in October if we don't find a treatment. But to have baseball this summer would be amazing. Seeing Eloy and Timmy and Moncada and Jose baby and that new right fielder and EE and our young pitchers. Ricky baby managing. Bring.On.Baseball.

What do you all think of the Chicago mayor breaking the rules. She gets a haircut to look good on TV. We can't. How bout this dumbass in Britain, one of the leading experts on corona. Brings his mistress over WHEN HE HAD CORONA. And you are mad at Americans who don't wear masks??? How bout the New York official going to the gym?? People watch this video and don't dismiss it just because it's FOX. This is a disgrace. Greg is not a disgrace. How bout the double standards going on with politicians????? Watch this! And by the way, Dick Allen, Kansas is a bit different from fricking chicago.

I've talked to a lot of people about masks. Nobody knows where to find them. I don't want to order online from some company I've never heard of. I haven't been within three feet of any living person in six weeks. I'm not causing any problems.

How come nobody ever answers my question of "where can you buy a disposable mask???" They are NOT AVAILABLE. It is wrong to say we don't care. We don't have masks to wear! I'm not paying 90 bucks for a box of masks I saw at Walgreens. I don't' even know if they are the right fricking masks. If I see somebody I wait til they pass or walk the other way and stay socially distant. If masks are the new normal for the rest of mankind like they wear overseas, that will suck.

It's not a joke because there are about to be meat shortages, food shortages. We have to have people go to work or by Christmas we will be one of the poorest countries on earth and easy pickings for China to invade and take over as world power. Can you imagine what the Chinese will do to us if they take over here? We need somebody to start manufacturing suicide pills in case we need them. Yes the rich are getting richer no doubt. But we little guys and gals need to work or we are going to starve and die.

Thanks for sharing. Thank u very much. I would say half jokingly (because I don't want to demean your terrific post at all) but if I wrote your post my haters on here would see one line and lambast me for letting the kids play with the cousins (how dare you!!). But I won't say that to you. Thank you for the post. I say this sincerely that your family is what's right with America. You are hard working and I hope and pray you get to keep your jobs as the economy worsens. Thank u and bless you and yours. You are great Americans IMO.

They aren't going to get through this. Homelessness will be calling when the credit card companies want their money. Nobody is talking about the economy just shaming about masks and staying at home. Nobody even wants to work it seems. Americans are hoarding and using their charge cards to do so. On a Monday night tonight I was absolutely shocked at the crowds at the grocery stores. All people do are sleep, get up, eat, self school their kids, take a walk, then go to the store and fill up with their credit cards. Before the pandemic all u heard about was people living paycheck to paycheck and not saving for retirement. Now they are maxing out their credit cards on food and toilet paper and cleanser and tylenon and other drugs they think they'll need. I read today there is a movement going on for a second Civil War. If the unrest hits, rioting, etc., it'll be all over. The rich better not flaunt their wealth, that is for sure, because we are going to have so many homeless with unemployment to be around 40-50 percent minimum, it'll shock you.

I have a big head and glasses and the masks suck. also they aren't for sale anywhere. Do those scarves with sports logos I see on the Internet work? are they hard to put on?

Heard the Chicago mayor went on TV and said the government is watching people on social media and will come arrest you if you are bragging about being at parties, etc. Is this true? Then she bragged about getting her hair done saying she had to, she is the voice of the city. My friend said it was on Tucker Carlson. Is she coming across as pompous or good through this?

Will There Be a 2020 Season?
Regular season in home parks would require travel. Just hold the games in Arizona and Vegas, especially if only a few dozen rich fans are allowed entry.

I think you guys are over-reacting. When the time comes around, the stay at home lockdown orders will continue. We are in phase one in Kansas. Guess what that means: We can get coffee and pop at Quick Trips again. We can do NOTHING ELSE that was prohibited before. No haircuts. No restaurants open. No coffee shops. NOTHING. It's the same.

If there is another Civil War, that's the end of America. China will back the side with the fewer amount of people and help wipe out that side with the most amount of people. They won't resist the temptation to destroy half the United States. And in War, all bets are off. I guess some religious people could say Trump truly was the antichrist starting armageddon (if the Civil War does take place). We need to start working together, people. Everything is a big fight. Instead of compromising and working together to open the economy (which we need) as well as do our best to fight COVID, we have to take sides. One said cusses out the other: How dare you not isolate yourself? How dare you not wear masks? And the other side: How dare you tell me to stay cooped up two months?? How dare you to tell me I can't go to church or get a haircut!! Instead of working together it's ALWAYS taking a radical position and HATING ON those who take the other position. Bye bye America if this continues.

No haircuts until July is not exactly opening things up.

COVID-19/Coronavirus thread
Maybe not: It's one thing to say you are opening up it's another to do it. Kansas counties have a right to overrule the governor. Governor is being cautious to begin with and still Douglas County has said no to all her very mild suggestions. Nobody's going to open things up to where you can go to church or a game or a crowded restaurant. Things are not going to open up, folks. There will be still a few corona cases out there or a lot, whatever, and either governors or counties will say "nope." The crucial part is all these towns with colleges. If they say they are open for business, will the counties overrule the universities?

Will There Be a 2020 Season?
I've been thinking more about this. This season is gonna be very funky. The players already have a built in excuse if they have off years. Pitchers are probably going to be babied cause their arms aren't used to this schedule. So just have two NCAA type tournaments. All the teams best 2 of 3. Then have a best of 5 title series. Then do it all over again like we did in Little League. Have the two winners of the two tourneys meet in the World Series in Vegas. I don't want a regular season; it's too screwed up and wacky. Just showcase the talent and have low-key tournaments. Pls pass this on to the commish!

Trump should just go quietly into retirement. He's in the history books as president. He's got such a huge ego, just quit while he's still healthy and write books and hang out. Let Biden take over even though Joe is kinda old. He better pick a good Veep candidate. I have a feeling it's gonna be Warren or Michelle if she'll do it. Harris is too risky IMO.
