@Sandman 423,
How far from Mid Tn are you?

 

[MOOOOONEY]

Same guy that refuses to be alone with a woman who isn't his wife? LOL.

Smart man. You know for some reason 25 years after the fact when a republican is elected to office or appointed to a political position they are accused of sexual assault.

If I was a republican politician I would never be alone with a woman other than my wife or significant other.

Yeah, but what about 20 years ago, at someone's house she didn't know?

It’s amazing how one’s ability to be cavalier about a situation is directly proportional to one’s amount of risk.

Weezer seems to be taking it well.

Florida closing public beaches and no dine-in at restaurants

Around here the restaurant thing has been that way for a little bit already.

It will far surpass 9/11 and they will never forget what we have allowed them to do.

The chicken littles have ****ed us for sure.

I'm sitting here watching the John Adams miniseries and wondering how hard that generation would bitch slap us if they could see what this country has become.

Nice...shut the sensationist propaganda down cold.

A working dry ice? It always works until it evaporates.

I use it to refill my soda stream tanks. i should probably do that

What is the end game here?

I mean what numbers do we hit before government feels safe enough to give the green light?

I mean the R on the infection rate can drop below 1, which will make rifleman happy as a pig in mud. But wont the case be made it will shoot back up if we all start congregating and relations again?

At the rate we're doing things, you're probably going to see the highest number of infected in late June. I wouldn't be surprised if we went on a France/Italy style lockdown (Nat'l Guard/essential local travel only) before mid-April. We're definitely going to see it some states by the end of March. Probably the West Coast states, NY, IL, and Florida. The public reaction is Florida will be interesting to see.

"I've been right a lot."

Naw. Not really.

I didn't see anything sensationalist about the reporter's question. There are millions of Americans who are scared and looking for answers. To think otherwise is just blatant denial at this point.

Not a good look.

If that’s the case we are looking at a decade for recovery if we even recover.

well, tell us all about it, then

That's somewhere between best and worst case scenario. Worst case sees this peak higher but end sooner. I think there are arguments for that, considering the demographic and outcomes it has on it.

Cold logic says to hell with the 80+ crowd and saves our economy. Any other way leads to the worst recession we've seen in half a century.

It's hard to say whether or not I'd be okay with as many as 10 million people (predominantly the elderly) dying in exchange for the preservation of our economy and, subsequently, the global economy.

 

[JOEY'S ALL VOL !!!]

Let's be careful where we lay blame.

Corona isn't Trumps fault.
Ebola wasn't Obamas fault.
Sars wasn't Bushs fault.
And only a moderate amount of herpes cases were Clintons fault.

Let's keep it real.

I believe (and hope) you are too pessimistic with your time line.

It’s a cold way to look at things but I agree. Thin out the herd.

 

[DinkinFlicka]

Unfortunately it's all but certain that we haven't even come remotely close to the peak. Pretty much every bit of research on the subject yields at least 30 million cases, with about 300k dead.

 

[InVOLuntary]

I think the only thing that can rescue us with minimal casualties and duration is some kind of scientific breakthrough. A vaccine in record time or something along those lines.

 

[Carl Pickens]

What a bunch of crap. Communist China didn't seem to have a problem with masks in their hospitals. Heaven forbid some centralized planning benefit the people. Stockpiles are bad for business. Get it.

The chicoms didn’t have a problem with masks in their hospitals because this is at least the 3rd epidemic episode they’ve had over there

Maybe start a real "Logan's Run" everybody over 30.

 

[Stew Cook]

Might as well be at the VFW, with the gloom in here.

This was at the very end. Watch the entire exchange. All Trump said he felt optimistic about the new vaccine tests. This guy thinks optimism is giving people false hope. It’s like Trump says we’re going to make it through this and the media responds
