When before corona it was ALL about mental health and "feelings" of people. Well my feeling is myself and many like me can't take being cooped up, jailed if you will. That's why I get out just a little bit in accordance to legal guidelines. So what would you call the knowledgeable and intentional spread of potentially pandemic laced germs? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t touch anything, including sign posts, benches, fences, or anything else that could be a contaminant. There are ways to do things in the world while still respecting the rules. You refuse. You are concerned with personal insults. By touching things other people touch you are literally trying to kill people. Threatening to murder someone like you keep doing is a far more intense personal attack. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you think of any other times when he was legally required to do something and then interjected “but we would like you to do us a favor”? 51 Senators said that was legal enough, so why not? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxbadger Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 11 hours ago, greg775 said: Badger u are a reasonable person. I give the floor to badger. It seems to me we will be under this lockdown probably until next spring. A whole year of never leaving our houses. My question to you is a.) do you agree there will be no gatherings of more than 2-5 people til May 2021 or so and b.) can America survive that? Economy will be 80 percent unemployment; all small businesses closed and long expired. Will there be public unrest and starvation? and finally c.) Why are other countries getting a handle on this and we aren't? A) hopefully by summer if we take it serious. B) in chaos there is opportunity. - Sun Tzu. Some business will crash, some will excel. The bad times are what separates good leaders from bad, but we will get through C) Because the US is run like a cult and certain people do not hold the administration accountable. Instead of letting doctors/scientists make decisions so that we can get through this faster, we have a supreme leader trying to prove he is smarter than everyone else. And when someone is brave enough to tell the truth they silence them and replace them. That creates chaos because no one knows what is going or who to believe. We have the CDC and they are being silinced so that Trump can hold a daily misinformation political rally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People will die because they have it with underlying conditions and not be tested. The underlying conditions will be the cause of death. Does anyone know how Trumps 2 friends who have recovered from the virus without even seeing a doctor got tested? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Virus has been clearly established to survive on surfaces such as stainless steel or plastic, such as your park tables, for up to 3 days. Do you own the park tables themselves? Can you verify that they are isolated every hour of the day after you leave, no other person has touched them in the previous 72 hours? If not, you are putting yourself at risk by touching them every single time. Thus, you are absolutely violating social distancing rules and putting yourself and everyone around you at risk. Please stop. Please. For everyone's sake please stop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm probably going to combine it with a Dr. visit (required) and a grocery run. I'm almost certainly wearing a mask during the run, every time I do any step where I have to touch stuff I'll do a hand sanitizer squirt, I'm going to disinfect all the groceries that go in the fridge with lysol along with the table they're sitting on, and everything non-perishable is going to spend 3 days sitting in the garage.

To me getting gas is a huge problem. You have to make sure you disinfect the entire apparatus you touch, probably have to wear gloves, and if you miss a spot, it’s on your door handle steering wheel and keys, and credit card. The the snowball starts really rolling downhill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted March 28, 2020 Author Share Posted March 28, 2020 (edited) Greg, KS Gov just issued new orders. https://www.kansascity.com/news/coronavirus/article241587466.html KS and MO hospitals issuing warning about lack of PPE’s/testing/beds and potentially being overwhelmed. Money (actual bills and coins) even becomes a problem, because there was a fear here that it could carry the virus. Almost everything went to electronic transactions...and it was already nearly there in the first place. Paranoia about touching ATM or elevator buttons reigned supreme. As far as I know, all physical money was taken back by Beijing and burned out of an abundance of caution.

I havent left body parts behind on a foreign battlefield, and I havent suffered any ill long term physical or mental issues from having served. My 2nd question to you is this: What do YOU consider a reasonable degree of service/sacrifice from an average American? Thanks, Greg. I KNOW you can find these answers, then go back to handling Greg's well-being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
