Platinum Contributing Member ViperGTS/Z1 Posted March 20, 2020 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted March 20, 2020 Omg....nothing but overkill reaction. Get ready for the rioting if everything shuts down and nothing moves. Should have just isolated the vulnerable from the get go. Of course cases are ramping up with testing, many of which are false positives and the overwhelming majority are MILD cases. The sky is not falling nearly as hard as many on here think. Heaven forbid if the media talked about every single case of flu cotraction and death........ People would never leave their home. Get a grip people.

The damage is going to happen anyways and Id rather get it over with and get rolling again. 4 months of kinda working will suck worse in my eyes. That being said we will start back up next week. We typically work alone. This will just make customers stay away from us. I like that idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the government starts doling out money and many will find out they aint getting a cent is another concern for riots. Headlines say $1200 individual $2400 per couple.. but left the most important part out. IF YOU MAKE A CERTAIN AMOUNT YOU LOSE.

It will get spooled up on Monday and not stop there. Hope you’re doing well Jay. If you can, take some vitamin c. Ration what you have but try to take 2000mg per day if possible.

Should have already happened. 2 hours ago, Pete said: Governor of mass already said it’s not going to happen here good so did ours.

Gold Member BOHICA Posted March 20, 2020 Gold Member Share Posted March 20, 2020 Doesn’t really affect the young adults on spring break. They just as well let we rip vs locking them away in there room. They will be around to replace the old that die from this in the job market.
