Exactly, Greg fails to mention what he can do for his mental health. If a stay at home order is in place, go for a walk, ride a bike or go for a run. Take precautions when going to a store. Don’t go to a party, a service or a gathering when there’s a lockdown. Use Zoom or a phone to stay in touch with others. The people protesting (and are violating the number of people in an area or aren’t social distancing) or going to large gatherings right now are idiots.

Why do you speak in third person? Why not vote for Joe as he is now and vote for him to give the office to his VP? It is not too far fetched to think about that happening. I can’t see Bernie winning moderates and I doubt Warren becomes the nominee.

It is one thing to debate facts, it is entirely different to debate with people who don’t acknowledge facts and redirect to literally one source, a cable network.

Where is the offensive lineman they needed? How do we feel about Pace giving up a fourth next year for a defensive end?

I understand the criticism but I disagree that he is toast. Biden will continue to address his behavior just like he did last year. Democrats will definitely understand their nominee isn’t perfect and will vote for him, regardless of ideology.

Bingo. And I will vote for Biden so his VP will become president through his term.

That was my first thought and response to him.

I don’t believe in the notion that these countries are creating biological warfare, they would seem to be more about developing nuclear weapons for their arsenals. Have you tried shopping at different stores in your area to get what you need? What about hardware stores for paper products? Or ordering toilet paper or paper towels online? Lastly, I can understand missing your church and all that comes with it, but are you staying in touch with people you worship with or your pastor? Are the online services from related faiths helping?

Very sad indeed. He served his country, which is admirable.

Saying something on accident is one thing, believing and saying things consistently is another thing. Joe has some issues, but he will have a stronger administration than Trump does. Tell me Nostradamus, how do you know Biden will lose? How was him winning the primary worse than any of the others winning?

I wouldn’t say Biden is an idiot, but I would like to see more legitimate choices without money in politics. Ending Citizens United would be a good start. There’s too much power concentrated in two parties, making independent moderates like me having to have a binary choice - for or against Trump. Instead of picking someone like Buttigieg or another moderate.

And his supporters say sleepy Joe is the one who has lost it?

Stores will put limits on food to stop hoarding.

Dan Bernstein put it the best. “Listen to doctors and only listen to people who listen to doctors.” The President should take to that advice instead of being on the wrong side of history with not dealing with facts and sending mixed messages.

Originally there was hoarding before stores put limits on it. People panicked and overbought.

Take it a day at a time and stop reading about what could happen. When the science starts directing things to open, it will. With the exception of the homeless or those going to food shelters, how could there be food shortages with how things are right now?

Buy a bandana and two hair ties. There are videos out there to assemble and voila, you have a mask.

How awful. I wish him the best in this battle and hope he beats it. He posted a video with his son today and he seems to be a very nice guy. I’ll probably go up the dial for his show instead of the jokers on 670 during the afternoons.- Your Walk Up Song
Okay, so this is off topic but Paniagua’s name prompted some research. There was a game the Sox played against the Cardinals where a Sox pitcher came in relief and pitched. Then he was taken out of the game after the inning because there were threats against him. Does this ring a bell with anyone? It happened in the 00s but I can’t find the name. My song to enter from the bullpen? Has to be “Enter Sandman.” Up to the plate? “For Those About to Rock.”- COVID-19/Coronavirus thread
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/20/podcasts/the-daily/coronavirus-how-long-lockdowns.html I heard this interview today. It’s relatively short and was interesting, if not depressing if true.- COVID-19/Coronavirus thread
Not a lot of people are wearing masks to stores either. And I heard that some people think 5G is causing the Coronavirus. Oh brother. Complete rubbish: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.com/news/amp/52168096https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.com/news/amp/52168096- COVID-19/Coronavirus thread
https://www.chicagotribune.com/coronavirus/ct-nw-coronavirus-protesters-trump-20200417-7oad7qhicrc53eywjaclwdsaoq-story.html I didn’t realize there were more groups than just the small protest in Michigan. Interesting how the protests aren’t just in battleground states too. - Sports Media discussion
