I'll stick to my promise and not comment any more in this thread as I am a man of my word but I'd like to take a survey just for my own enjoyment, thank u. Do you enjoy reading Greg's takes in this thread or other threads? Or should I make a wholehearted effort to post less in all threads because you do not like my posts. Thank u very much.

I'm done with this thread. You got your way. You hate me. I'm silenced. Fine. Maybe someday I can be perfect or abide by everything you abide by and believe every single thing you believe in. I'm out of this thread. p.s. if it makes anybody feel better blame me for most of the problems regarding corona in this part of the country.

What do you want me to say? I feel terrible. My guess is this can't or won't be slowed and it has nothing to do with people like me who "escape" outside for 3 hours a day. I just read an article about "coronavirus parties." There are a lot of age groups outside of my own who have "real" violators of common decency here. If me leaving a couple hours a day and risking touching a table once every 2 or 3 days is wrecking the world, I apologize. I truly do not think greg is the devil here, but if I am, I truly apologize. This is not easy for those who stay inside 24 hours and it's not easy for those of us who stay inside aboug 20 to 21 hours a day.

Heaven help us all. Once we are forced to stay inside with military patrolling the streets, my guess is armageddon has begun.

I don't want empathy. Turd like language? WTF. I am as polite as can be always, especially for a message board. Thanks for your service. I respect the military. My uncle was a Marine; my dad in the Navy. Many cousins in the Armed Forces. I love America more than a lot of people. I'm not saying I have mental illness. I"m saying all of a sudden a lot of people don't seem to CARE about mental illness anymore. Let's face it some won't be happy til we have 24/7 lockdown with threat of arrest if you go outside and hopefully WHEN that comes they at least will let us order food/drink and somebody can dump it off on our porches. I am not the enemy, sir.

Basically we are all doomed then until we order people to stay in 100 percent of the time and have people in protective suits drop off food supplies in front of our houses. Until we have forced isolation we have no chance as a society. I wouldn't discount forced quarantine 24 hours a day before this is over. That seems to be what people want. This thread is a good example. Greg is obeying the rules and thus is probably 85 to 95 percent a non risk at this time. But people are appalled at my behavior. So yes we're going to lock us all in before too much more time I predict. Food drops at our doors hopefully.

This is not my routine. It is bare minimum of getting outside. Pardon me for being spoiled for my whole life and now being told I cannot do anything, anything at all. If I am a problem then we are all doomed because folks I AM NOT DOING ANYTHING. I am stranded, cooped up almost all day.

Thank you. My park table is wooden. I guess it's another thing to cross off my list to stay sane. Sit at a wooden park table for 3 hours.

1. No. I'm trying to stave off problems by obeying the government and the medical experts but yet getting out a little bit. They said you could get out for exercise, just stay socially distanced. 2. My whole family is made up of veterans. Thank u for your service. Personally in answer to your question I think I am sacrificing in this. What more can I do? I'm only going outside when I need food or one drive through drink (drive throughs are legally open). I go to the park for mental health; thus far haven't seen anybody within a football field of me. I see no people. Why is it unreasonable to assume I could go mentally insane without getting out just a bit? Why am I the bad guy here?? Thanks for your service.

I'm nothing like those people. Except when I am in the store I am near no people and I always obey the six foot separation thing, walk the other way if I see somebody. Thanks for assuming I leave trash out. I love how now to you mental illness apparently means nothing when before, it was all about how greg didn't care about the mental health of others. now that it's me I should stay in at all times, never get to the park to stay mentally healthy. Greg's mental health doesn't mean squat. Greg throws trash around, huh? I am abiding by all the rules. Where did I go wrong in this thread?? Saying I go to the damn park where there are NO PEOPLE yet joining me?

Thanks Dick. As far as sitting in the park how long can corona be stuck to the surface of the table or the seat. Nobody is there when I get there; nobody is there when I leave. Why is corona potentially on the park table? Some people on here act as if I'm hanging out with people all day. I am not doing ANYTHING for gosh sakes.

I thought we already had this order. I assumed we did just like KC. It's basically the same as before.

You still won't address mental health of greg. I need to get out or my mental problems will escalate. Health professionals have said by all means go to the park just practice social distancing. I go to the store and buy food when I need it rather than hoard. I do the drive through for coffee once a day. I sit in the park tables 3 hours a day. No one is ever there. You are saying over and over I am a murderer wannabee and yet I do nothing that is not condoned by the health experts. You say I am "literally trying to kill people." You say I am "threatening to murder someone." That is offensive and wrong and mean and cruel. I am doing nothing illegal and I'm trying to kill? Right. And you fail to address my mental health because you realize suddenly mental health of people mean nothing to people like you in this crisis. When before it was all about each individual's mental health and not offending them with pronouns, etc. And again you said I don't "respect the rules." OK ... name one rule I'm breaking. You are that upset I sit at a table in the park with nobody else in the vicinity and get a drive through coffee and food? All which are allowed? Thanks for nothing.

How do you get away with the personal insults of greg? This board had become kinder and gentler. I still haven't read your answer to my question about mental health? Why is my mental health disregarded as unimportant regarding being cooped in, being forced to grow long hair with all shops closed? When before corona it was ALL about mental health and "feelings" of people. Well my feeling is myself and many like me can't take being cooped up, jailed if you will. That's why I get out just a little bit in accordance to legal guidelines.

Badger u are a reasonable person. I give the floor to badger. It seems to me we will be under this lockdown probably until next spring. A whole year of never leaving our houses. My question to you is a.) do you agree there will be no gatherings of more than 2-5 people til May 2021 or so and b.) can America survive that? Economy will be 80 percent unemployment; all small businesses closed and long expired. Will there be public unrest and starvation? and finally c.) Why are other countries getting a handle on this and we aren't?

How come Italy got good news today on no new cases and China is dong well and everything is falling apart here? Does anybody else think it is "possible" germ warfare is going on?

Why does hanging out at a park make me a bad person if no people are around? The experts SAID we can get outside for fresh air. Geez. You are being overdramatic and mean and out of line with these two sentences ... • That would make you a bad person. • You are trying to be a murderer No I am not. How come with this issue there's no thought at all about mental frame of mind, mental illness if you will. But before corona it was all about everybody's mental health. Guess what this is endangering mental health! Now we are being tough on mental health needs! I NEED to get outside. My government is letting me go to grocery stores and drive throughs. Yes it is allowing trips to the park with recommendations to stay six feet from other peeps. The contact in a grocery store is 10 times that in a park where I stay away from people. I think you owe an apology. I assure you I am not a bad person and am not trying to be a murderer. Have you read the recommendations in Kansas? We are not trapped like rats. We are allowed to move around A BIT!!

I did take your advice. A few days ago I stopped watching. Now if I'm surfing and I get a headline that's crazy I'll open it. But I can't take this. I am getting in habit of not being able to do much tho.

I think the only hope for sports until we have a vaccine is MAYBE games without fans. I would say this season is over. But maybe next season could start in June with no fans. No chance for NBA, NHL the rest of this season and next (seasons start during flu season). College football season is out of the question unless it's deemed safe with no fans. College basketball season will be wiped out in 2020-21, hiopefully 21-22 will be played maybe with no fans. Just my takes.

Will the guys be paid for not playing? My guess is there is no season with fans, but they could probably have some sort of tournament in late August and September unless our country is really doomed? You'd think at some point it'd be moderately safe to possibly play games with no fans before the next wave of this hits in next flu season. So would guys get full salaries for a 6 week season with no fans at games?

Why am I the bad guy here? I'm basically obeying all the rules. I just ask questions. Guess what, sir. ... The buses are still running here. The grocery stores are packed. Think about how one grocery sacker is in contact with people all day and could be infecting people. ... You are still allowed to walk outside and go into establishments to order food and get out. ... My point is we can restrict movement a lot and are restricting movement a lot, but if you totally force us to stay inside there will eventually be death and destruction and unrest in the streets because people are living paycheck to paycheck and soon will have no food and/or be homeless. I am not the bad guy. I have come into contact with almost no human beings this past week except when shopping which we are allowed to do lest we die of starvation. I have hoarded nothing. I probably have enough food to last 10 days maybe. The bad guys are the kids who pack the beaches and packed the bars for St. Paddy Day fun in Chicago, pissing off government officials who need to relax the isolation just a little bit!! The bad guys are the ones with 70 rolls of toilet paper and people who won't stop buying it until they have enough for a full year. Why am I the bad guy here?? Peace to all and may the world overcome this.

Those teens are doing great damage then. Me and my 2 hours driving around and maybe going through a drive through or sitting in a park sounds like will do minimal damage compared to them. What do you want me to do? I have to get out or I will go insane and likely die. I hope people aren't to the point they wish some die. No compromise? I agree with Kevin Hassett. I mean it's late March and we are upset with people who leave their places and walk around a bit in society each day. You think we're going to allow massive crowds for baseball games anytime soon? They won't be playing spectator sports before spectators for a long, long, time, folks. Not in May, not in June, not in July. Will they ultimately have games with no spectators? Made for TV? Not in this environment.

They won't want to put the people they arrest in jail to spread corona so will they just shoot them? Where to put the offenders?

Well at this point I'm like you. I'm not galavanting anywhere. I venture to say if you are going to the store for bread, etc., I am coming into contact with no more people per day than you are. I'm not doing anything. I'm trying to say there has to be compromise or there will be no economy. I guess those who hoarded can watch me slowly die once there is no economy.

How do you know that the end of the economy, millions of people out of work resorting to rioting won't be just as bad or worse? Don't blame me for the toilet paper. That's on society. I've not hoarded anything. I got 9 TV dinners, that's it. Then I'm starving if they shut down everything.
