Social distancing is the only thing that will slow this virus down. Exactly which is why it’s annoying that there are so many ignorant/selfish people in this country that either A) think Covid 19 is no big deal which is evidenced by more than a few here and B) those that figure that they are not in a high risk group and don’t give a fuck about anybody else. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They still think a lot of people will get it. They just want to flatten the curve so we don’t have to choose who gets treatment and who doesn’t. My wife is bracing herself for a lot of sad stories. I think a lot of the deniers are just doing it out of habit. They are having trouble lining up Trumps statements from this week with last week.

Its no different than the flu. But it does seem to spread at a much faster rate and has possibility to overwhelm the system here if not controlled.

Is this a virus or a blizzard?..... i was thinking of leaving for OH earlier this week in case he idiots in NY and PA follow suit, either way i go i need to hit those 2 states. Given a complete lack of traffic o the highways here I am assuming it should be a quick trip. I need to leave around 1 so I'm getting to Kent around 11pm spending the night then driving back.

You must be pissed off at Doug Ford for declaring a state of emergency for the flu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of things others believe annoy many who want them to be in the group think. This fear is idiotic based on statistics that don’t justify the reasoning. It’s a balance of being safe and keeping the economy from diving into disaster with unreasonable emotions. Some of us know this and try to push back on the fear mongering. Relax, your side won. The weak will always outnumber the strong. And if we can’t pull out of this because of it, I wish many of you luck in finding a decent place to rent in whatever area you are forced to move to for work after your homes hit the courthouse steps. You can keep your keys, I’m changing the locks. I know...I know.....”selfish”. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the “flu” has a vaccine and still wipes out thousands a year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seem to think you’re exempt from any of the hardships covid-19 will hand out. That kind of mindset is what comes back to haunt people in the end. Have fun playing the big shot.

That kind of mindset is what comes back to haunt people in the end. Have fun playing the big shot. I don’t feel I’m exempt at all other than rarely getting sick. But I’m not living in fear of it either. What happens with this shit is exactly what we are seeing now, everything crashing down because of unreasonable fears. Sure, I will suffer much less because It’s unlikely I will have to do without. What is upsetting to me is people thinking and acting against their own interest in a herd mentality....then wanting sympathy after they’ve created them own downward spiral. I have fun playing anything or I don’t play. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just becomes a real fine fine balancing act. Too fine and the market will correct. But for this to take it down this fast and to these levels? Absurd. If we don’t start to get our heads about us and recover soon, it’s going to be disastrous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got hosed in the last massive downturn. I’m prepared to make it up on this one. Or should I just donate to those that are hoarding the ass wipe, milk and bread?
