corona pandemic~

[mike89]

sounds like the guys wife is a real piece of work Dotch...  sad... 

[Dotch]

Yup mike there are some major problems there in the mental health dept. with addictive behavior. My guess is someday it ain't gonna end well. Makes this COVID thing look like a walk in the park.

For many people the loss of going to church has been the worse thing. For many it's the only time they ever saw anybody.

[delcecchi]

I bet from the point of view from the lady in her 90s is she just wants to live the rest of her life the way she wants to. Almost like living in a free country.

Yeah, that thought crossed my mind too.    Might be a little of the "this is an overhyped plot"  in there as well.   

[glenn57]

in todays paper, the covid article said that last week the cases confirmed were down 14%. 

listening to the news on the tube is very different????????

we did the turkey day thing with only 3 of the 5 kids, but i'm beginning to rethink the christmas thing??????? i'm not afraid of the virus, just not real sure i want to be part of the spread. i havent said anything yet to my wife, i know she's gonna say or think its my way of getting out of christmas, since she knows what i think about it. guess we shall see how the next couple weeks pan out. 

[Steve-o]

I reckon it will be a week or more before we see if the infection rate increased because of Thanksgiving (and Black Friday shopping).

[Leech~~]

My prediction is since they played the heck out of the increase. Sometime after Jan 20th they will say it's improved greatly and empty the hospitals so Biden can say "See my Plan worked"   

[dutchboy]

We've sat it out this long, sitting it out a few months more won't kill anybody.
If I got out there and infected anybody (i'm not positive now) and they died I wouldn't be able to live with myself. When we were young and strong this stuff was no big deal. Now that we are older we should be wiser and more importantly be able to set a example.

The politics only matter if you let it.

dutchy, there is no way this is only going to be another couple months........just last week i heard the so called "experts" talking mask mandate quiet possibly till this time at least next year.

and another couple months............how many businesses are going to go tits up by then?????????

oh and i agree with you whole heartly about infecting someone else........kinda why i'm have second thoughts about christmas. my mom is 84...and my brother chewed her and our stepdad out a good one for continuing to go out to eat all the time........there in wisconsin.

[dutchboy]

Business is a whole other issue. My opinion it should be left to each owner to decide to open the business or not. However, if they open and a case is traced to them they get locked tight. By the same token it should be up to the individual if or what business they visit. But as we can see, people aren't reasonable enough to think for themselves so the government needs to do it.

Popular thought ? No but it's what we gotta do.

And if it doesn't improve, Biden will say its Trump's fault because he didn't do more sooner.

And if the roles were reversed, where Biden was the outgoing President and Trump was President elect, the story would be the same.

And true it is!

So earlier I read on MSN that Los Angeles county, the largest county in the U.S. Issued a stay at home order for the next 3 weeks, expiring dec 20. Exceptions are for religious gatherings and protests  because there constitutionial rights.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but don't people have that same constitutional right to move around the country freely????

Sure but are not going around the country in a tour bus full of people are you? 

[glenn57]

No and don't plan to. Answer me this then, under stay at home I can't go to a restaurant or bar but I can go protest.  WTF is the difference??

Had nuttin to go with a bus tour across the country maybe I don't get it but you can protest or go to church with all kinds of people by you but not in other places  .

[glenn57]

You also need to understand I am doing everything I can to not get or spread it. Do tea I'm doing my best to follow what is recommended.

Just can't figure out the rationale

Don't like it and not defending anything. They know they can't stop the Protesters anyway, and at least the church folks an't burning nothing down and beating folks while they kill their selves. 

[dutchboy]

Glenn you've been around long enough to know you can't apply logic to government action.

This thing is mainly with high density area's, thats where the high percentage rates come from. LA would quality as high density i'm sure.

As far as the protesters goes...... Maybe they figure the protesters will spread it among themselves and eventually we run out of protesters?

[mike89]

there is that Dutch... 

[Gunner55]

It's the same in SF as LA as the 49'ers have been forced out of there stadium & will be using Glendale, Arizona to practice & play their next 3 games.

So I guess the good folks on the Left Coast in LA County won't have any problems with me bringing my side arm to said protest... because I have a Constitutional Right to do that as well.

What a bunch of maroons!

Not sure.  Which amendment or article is that in?   And nobody is restricting your right to move around the country anyway.

[dutchboy]

Mull this over................

On the radio today Sansavere was interviewing a guy from the hospitality industry. This guy said that the bars & restaurants in the MSP airport and the bars and restaurants in the Casinos are open.  I'm not a Casino guy so I can't verify that. However if true, we gotta run that gutless clown out of the governors chair as quick as we can. This guy will have us bankrupt quicker then quick.

[glenn57]

My wife and I have had several discussions regarding Christmas. We have decided we are not going to be doing a Christmas gathering this year.

My mom spent the past week out at my brother's. I called him today to see if she had said anything. He told me they had several conversations. From what he told me sounds like she won't be doing it either.  Kinda glad she chose that route.
