This is so short-sighted and purely selfish. If you are walking around being “normal” and have the infection but you’re asymptomatic, it doesn’t just affect the people you come in direct contact with, it’s a chain reaction.

Say that is exactly the case, you’re lucky and you only infect one other person. That person is just out doing only the necessary things they need to do for the day and they return home. They are also asymptomatic but they check on their parents every other day who are 75, and 72 respectively while also living at home with two children, one of which has a history of asthma. They all become ill and his parents and one child need hospitalized. Now, that’s three more hospital beds taken and three more patients who need care from doctors and nurses that already don’t have the supplies to do their jobs.

By simply choosing to disregard everything you’re being told in plain english YOU have directly contributed to the problem. Don’t be dumb. The solution is sitting your ass in front of the TV or building something in the garage for a month. I’m tired of people acting like this is such an inconvenience to them when both my wife and I are facing the reality of leaving our two children for weeks or months of mandated work in the hospital to care for the onslaught of patients. Stop being selfish. There is literally no other way to describe it, it’s selfishness.

Umm, even in the areas that are “locked down” anyone can go to to a grocery store, gas station, pharmacy and ext so your whole post is a waste of bandwidth .

I hope they do. I am finding it harder and harder to find places to eat. I want to sit in the place and eat and give a waiter or waitress some money. And help encourage people's psyche.

We went to a restaurant recently, I've posted about it recently so I won't go into detail but I feel horrible for the family that owns the business, I don't think they will survive the economic impacts. It pained me to see the concern on his face knowing all they've been through and scarified to do things the legal way.

The argument was “to hell with all this, I do what I want”. Not “what if I need gas or food”.

You don’t get it. The overreacting is worse than the virus. Let me guess you are employed by the hospital. Not in private practice.

I agree that it doesn't make sense that you can mingle with 50-100 people in a grocery store , but can't go to a bar or restaurant in some places.

As they should.

I think we haven’t seen the beginning of the lawsuits about to be filed over contracting the virus And very legal council worth their fee are advising public businesses that they could be liable.

Not unless you are ignoring government direction. I have had discussions about this. We have zero concern.

The entirety of your life involves acceptance of risk and expected values. We have nuked our economy to stop a virus slightly more deadly than the flu. The damage this is causing to broad swaths of our economy and school age children is immense. If you are old or have underlying conditions stay home and keep guests away. But why are we stopping everyone else from conducting business? And somehow a $1000 check is going to fix this.

I went to my barbershop Thursday and there was no wait. Asked the owner how‘s things and he said he‘s got about another week maybe two before he has to close. Three weeks ago it was almost an hour wait in the middle of a weekday.

Are pediatrists with a strip mall office going to be intubating people with bilateral interstitial pneumonia?

Are you an indentured servant? Or did you choose your profession?

You're complaining about having to go to work while many other people are losing their jobs because of the mass hysteria taking place. These people will be sitting their asses at home when they'd rather be working because of other people who panic easily and don't mind being led around by the nose.

Exactly, so stop infecting each other so we can get back to normal. I’m not complaining about going to work, I’m complaining that everyone isn’t doing their part.
