  1. It amazes me how many "leaders" actually look away from the science.
  2. How many have committed suicide from being home for a month? How many OD'd because of this? It's nothing but a talking point. Blowing off social distancing would blow any of those death counts away. And those numbers would just get worse as well. Even while being stuck at home, it's blown it away. The plants will be open because that is what Tyson wants. It's not right for the workers. But Trump is playing to CEO's not for heath and safety, but for votes and cash. . Sickening.
  3. Cleaning house also means none of these guys are married to any of the players. I think we will see at least one or two guys considered building blocks, moving along.
  4. Movie theaters have to show old movies as well.
  5. And that is how they were looking at people at the airports, when they first started limiting European travel. You had to look like you were on death's front door to be pulled out of line and examined.
  6. I really think most people don't really either know or believe that people without symptoms pass this virus.
  7. Jay Cutler getting divorced. The couple asks for privacy during this difficult time. As For the Bears QB. Mitch is done as long as Foles stays healthy.
  8. WH awaiting confirmation of Kim Jong Uns death.
  9. Trump now saying he was being sarcastic with the injecting Lysol stuff yesterday.
  10. I think Trump made a big mistake lowering the expected death toll to 60k. He even mentioned 50k a couple of days ago. For his sake, he should have kept it where it was. Then if it is 60k, he looks about as good as a guy who previously said he shut it down and it wouldn't be a problem could look. It's clearly going over 60k, and by the time we actually go to the office, may be where they projected.
  11. Just continuing to prove there is a tweet for everything, funny he wasn't into LIBERATION back then: Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump · Oct 28, 2014 All the governors are already backing off of the Ebola quarantines. Bad decision that will lead to more mayhem.
  12. I got what I thought and probably was, the worst cold I ever had on Jan 31. Feb 1 I went to a basketball game and just felt out of it. The next day, I couldn’t get out of bed. I felt better a little better the next day and went to work, but as soon as I coughed, I was asked if I might want to work from home. I did the next day. Still had the cough for a while, and at times it was really hard to breathe. My wife then got it. She got better in a week but broke out with what looked like measles on her chest. At first she thought we had bed bugs. Today I read that about 1 in 5 have this kind of thing happen with their skin with Covid 19. Hopefully we had it, but I would think it’s doubtful.
  13. You think about the amount of money the White Sox and every other team just pisses away every year on garbage signings. We are all numb to it. $2 million $4 million is nothing, but it probably covers a huge portion of the off field staff for many months. It’s pretty sad the industry isn’t prepared to pay some who probaby are lucky if they make $50k a year for the rest of the season.
  14. I will not be going anywhere near Tennessee the next couple of years.
  15. I have had it out with Tony myself, but you must admit you aren’t showing much empathy right now. Maybe Tony would bring out his best if you did.
  16. It also depends what you are doing. Restaurants and bars, probably the hardest hit industry won’t be hiring everyone back. It’s going to be a while before they will need what they had before. Most people will still be leary of going back, and many who don’t seem to have a problem with actually blowing off social distancing etc. aren’t exactly the group you see dining out a few times a week. An outbreak because of an early restart will set this back even further.
  17. I think having her at home was throwing a little love her way. It didn't bring out her best.
  18. The problem is the biggest boys got to the front of the line. The Shake Shacks by me are open for delivery and carry out. They did nothing illegal, but Shake Shack isn't who this bill was designed for. I am sure there are more egregious examples than this one though.
  19. This isn't too encouraging, one of the people overseeing the covid 19 vaccine research was forced out of his vaccine development job at Texas A & M in 2015. The
  20. There were a lot of people out this past weekend. The timing of this virus did us no favors. If it hit in December or January, staying at home wouldn't be as big of a deal. Now, everyone wants to go out. And it's starting to look like many have given up on the social distancing.
  21. Former FDA commissioner Scott Gottlieb said today the US won't have enough testing until hopefully September.
  22. Which I would have no issue with if it were that simple. But he can get someone else sick, who gets a few more sick, who gets my wife with asthma sick, and she dies Where would her free choice be?
  23. I just don't see how people downplay this at all. It's not like a flu. It's not like auto accidents. There are 41,000 deaths with the world basically stopped. What would the total be if the world was not stopped? It should freak you out. People in large groups, or walking around without a mask should piss you off 1000 times more than someone lighting up a smoke in an airplane or restaurant and blowing smoke in your or your family's face. One time won't kill you. This might.
  24. Deaths are up to 41k. The hope that it could top out at 60k is looking pretty unlikely. Especially if you see how many people are out and about in the nicer weather, and really very few taking precautions. I would say maybe 1 in 5 wearing masks. Social distancing isn’t what it was. We have to finish the job or all our suffering will be for naught.
