How the hell do you tie these masks on your head? There's long strips that do not wrap around the ear. Do you make a regular hard shoelace knot in the back?? My barber has penciled me in for a haircut a week from Thurs. We open up allegedly. Damn I dunno if I can make it that long. I need to get a new Sox hat somewhere to wear.

I said I would meet anybody at a ballgame. I would hope I wouldn't get punched. I haven't been punched since 7th grade.

Why pick on barbers? Geez, there is risk everywhere. These people and their kids are starving and soon will be homeless. The treatment of salon owners has been despicable. I bought two masks from a lady who handed them to me in her driveway. That could be equally dangerous. Stylists deserve a right to live as well.

Hmmm ... where are you guys getting the wood, the materials? If I were a dxxk I would do what people did to me on here in response to me implying I need a haircut and want one ... I'd say "What? Where are you getting the wood, the nails, the materials?" This is NON ESSENTIAL work and you went to a hardware store?? Hardware stores aren't clean. You could be killing a person spreading the virus! I'm not a dxxk though so I won't say that.

Save this post. Some of it may be true.

What are you talking about. I'd give you my thorough opinion of Trump, but it's not allowed. I don't want to be banned again. I'm addicted.

Thanks. I can't imagine having fans. Can you imagine the cases uncovered after one homestand??

If this is the case, it's a good case study. We're all doomed.

Its pretty obvious what is going to happen. ... There are going to be a ton of cases tied to events with large groups of people if we have those. The way this is going ... I'd suggest the governors will be the ones to slow/stop the reopening of the USA. Once we get the figures from the first week of reopening, we'll be shut for good through next spring.

What does that mean? No road games cause of corona?

I'd say this week has been a downer. I've said it before, not a good sign and it's not even the normal virus season. Corona may truly be the end of the world before this is over. This thing could be a runaway train by late September.

Thank u. Yes in my long speech written here I am worried about the inevitability of say, our church, opening some weekend with distancing in the pews. I'd guess I'll attend and feel stupid and sad wearing a mask. But like I said out of our four Mass weekend, 40 people are going to get corona and all hell will break loose. What will happen is like I wrote either a.) we just say fxxk it and let the virus do what it has to do forevermore or b.) shut down the city again, this time forever.

Thank u. I appreciate and agree with the post especially your long, penultimate paragraph.

Just a few musings today. ... a.) Southwest Airlines and all of 'em are requiring masks now. And there is going to be social distancing while boarding and while standing in lines, etc. Can you imagine the rage people are going to have at airports now? Travel has been awful anyway for years, now this. People better try to be kind to each other. I sense a lot of anger regarding masks. It's like the people that have them on are ready to tear the heads off of those who don't. It's time to get kind or there are going to be so many fistfights/arrests/canceled flights because of rage. b.) Saw 12 people partying on a lawn while driving to the drive through last night for coffee. Weird. c.) I think the verdict is still out on whether America will ever be the same again. If one person at a danceclub is responsible for shutting down the clubs in Korea another 30 days, makes me think the first sporting event with fans is going to be a disaster in terms of people infecting people. I think we should get used to the idea of sports in empty stadiums for the rest of time. Or stadiums in which maybe they seat 40,000 and 4,000 are allowed in, something like that. With no concessions stands. d.) It's easy to say American business will never be the same. Airline and train and bus travel and subway travel all sound AWFUL right now. The idea of flying somewhere disgusts me right now. e.) I would think the movie industry is toast. At least the box office. Again, the idea of a movie theatre is scary and disgusting. I would guess mandatory masks. f.) Church or in my cass Mass is in danger forever of restarting. Again, there's going to be Mass one weekend, 40 people are going to be infected and that will cause all hell to break loose no pun intended. g.) People are going to have to be 100 percent healthy to go anywhere. If you have the common cold, it used to be you could go to church, be on airplanes, etc. Now once you cough you are going to get ushered off the flight, the train, the bus. So you are gonna have to be 100 percent healthy at all times or tell your bosses you can't travel that day? Or drive all over the country instead of fly? h.) People like me who are bored out of their minds and sick of this new normal might get the country opened for good. The ultimate end to all of this is everything will be open and the virus will do what it has to do. There will be normal precautions (masks, distancing laws like SWA's new policy of masks), but the country will be open and never close again and the virus will do what it has to do. How many deaths? Nobody knows. Will it kill me or you? Nobody knows. Finally if you read this far, yes I'm in my pessimism mode today. I have seen no human beings face to face except zoom for 2 months. This is bullcrap. I'm sick of it. I want to go do something and everything's locked up. I ALSO NEED A HAIRCUT. Bless u all. Have a nice weekend, though they all are the same.

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. i just need to buy some bandanas and rubber bands.

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.

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.
