A lot of the people of faith that I know, particularly those in the high risk demographic, feel obligated to attend church if the doors are open. If they aren't told to stay home either by those who run the church in question or the government, they're going to be at church.

The grocery store comparison is a little weak to me because it's a necessary risk. The risk of gathering for a lot of other purposes is unnecessary or can be mitigated by the creation of small groups.

I'll change my opinion as soon as the church allows me to eat hymnals and pews.

Plus you're a lot less likely to get sick by quickly passing someone in a grocery store versus sitting in a closed room for an hour surrounded by people.

Also, the church isn't the building, it's the people worshiping. Which can be done by more safe means right now. The Pope is preaching to an empty Vatican. He's leading by a good example.

I don't like some of these projections I'm seeing for the virus. Supposedly fall will be prime season for it and that'll mean no football season.

Hope I'm wrong.

Good stuff man, glad to hear it. Would be better if you had one of those shields like in taxis and cop cars but I'm guessing that your passengers wouldn't love that and neither would you.

Also want to let everyone know that a lot of liquor companies are using their alcohol to produce hand sanitizer. If you know anyone that works for EMS, police or hospitals then encourage them to reach out to distributors or distillers and ask for donations. If that doesn't work, my company can place large quantity orders.

Will do...another good thing about my boss..we had a huge supply of cleaning and sanitizing stuff stored at the office before Covid-19 ever came along..we have always had to sanitize after every client trip.

Do you really not see how terrifying what you said here could become?

I do. It's why I posted it.

People are dumb and selfish. and if left to their own devices, will always put needs of self ahead of the needs of the many.

Not exactly a recipe for coming out of a global pandemic in great shape...

The church choir that met a couple of weeks ago in Washington state prompted a Covid-19 outbreak of more than 60 people and 2 deaths. At the time of the choir rehearsal, there were no known cases in that county.

I think about all the healthcare workers who are trying to stay as safe as possible. Much harder to do if hospitals get overrun and they run out of appropriate equipment. I think about my 86 year-old grandmother. She's isolated, but what if she needed to go in for something routine and is exposed. I think about the younger people who would otherwise probably be fine but can't get in to see a doctor, again because hospitals are overrun. I think about all the people who are required to work through this pandemic and their chances of exposure increasing because the community didn't do their part. Not to mention, the faster we slow this, the sooner we can all get back to some normalcy.

The recommendations are to protect everyone in the community. If people can't be responsible, then the government has every right to protect it's citizens. You're right - it's a slippery slope. I just think you're focused on the wrong hill.

First off..I am doing the best I can, and I am probably going to eventually catch this crap.

Second..All I am saying is that I hope all of you agree that the reach of government has got to be limited by REAL law.

Looking at that graph it's saying ~5000 total deaths in Tennessee; ~8400 if we did nothing.

With a 2 percent mortality rate (which is very high, most report 1.3) at 5,000 people dying that would mean we’d have 250,000 cases. We are only at 2,400. No reason at all to shut down economy. Thank god the media and leftist didn’t have so much access to make sheep so scared when H1N1 hit us hard.

I think I feel confident in saying... We do.

I also feel confident in saying the powers federal and state officials have under various declorations of emergency, are designed as temporary... And it would take some seriously strange circumstances for them to become permanent.. By any definition.
