Zambroski Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 2 minutes ago, Woodtick said: The lock downs are pretty serious near me. I’m in a essential field and not working. Most of my customers can be open by the rules. They aren’t letting anyone in unless it’s a emergency. Even then,They make you take your temperature and you have to answer and sign paper work saying where you have been and who have you been in contact with. I got a email from the boss Saturday night wanting a list of buildings I’ve been in,in the last week. There are a few places I could go today,but that work doesn’t really need to be done this week. Other than a emergency,I’m staying home not getting paid. Until people calm the fuck down and get their safety guides in place,I choose to stay out of the shit show. There is still a lot of confusion out there. If you can still travel out of large metro areas, it’s not a true “lockdown”. Densely populated cities are where these things gain serious momentum....then spread outwards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractor supply that a joke and they should be shut down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s yours and my grandkids futures we just fucked It's insane. A $2.2 trillion stimulus on a $21 trillion economy. With essential services still open we are at about 75% of normal. We could have all just taken a vacation for a month and collected unemployment. 17 minutes ago, Pete said: Until there is a serious lockdown this will continue slowly There can be no lockdown if you want essential services to continue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is currently designing road blocks for the state police. There looks to be a big one near O’Hara. Where 294 and 90 intersect. Will they ever set them up, who knows????

Also ask how many “exceptions” there will be for people to pass freely. “LOCKDOWN” is lockdown. Period. Nobody comes in that isn’t mission critical and nobody leaves. This whole thing is a joke of not only our preparedness but of national strength and resolve. I don’t believe this is a deadly serious “pandemic” yet based on numbers but, it could grow to be if this strain gets more deadly. What this shows all of us (well, the ones who can see) is, how fucked we really are should something very deadly start to grow. It’s too late and all over before we even think to do anything.....other than shit our pants as collective retards. Right now, all it appears we are going to lose is our economy....all out of unsubstantiated panic while not looking around and wondering why certain things aren’t being done, and why other weird things are allowed to continue. Toilet paper. That’s what makes people feel good and safe....apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one said they were going to stop the spread. Lots of grey area in Ontario's essential rules. Company up the road started to demo a church yesterday. What's the big need for that? Peers in my field are calling me everyday asking what I'm doing and how I can insure the safety of my employees. And those planes, buddy's daughter is a stewardess, flight out of Montreal to the Caribean. She says the flights have been empty going down and 25-35% coming back, getting thinner every day. The flight attendants do nothing. They drop a cooler full of water bottles on the floor and everyone sits in there seats. She's being laid off today or tomorrow.

It’s over because people thought that reckless panic and fear mongering was enough. Can we maybe panic harder and win this?!?! WE SHOULD TRY!!!!!!!

Tractor supply that a joke and they should be shut down. They sell animal feed, medicine, and necessary related equipment, as well as parts used in maintaining farm and garden equipment. They're more essential than you think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
