So the trade off is people that are 70 are going to die anyway so let me go out to dinner or get my hair done. Everything will work out.
:lol:
I'll be deciding on my own, like you Morris. See what happens in the next 30 days.
Well, all we've heard about Covid is, "more people die from the flu".
You know who dies from the flu? 90% are over 65. No one blinks an eye over that, and the flu has been around forever. In 56 years, I dont know anyone who has died from the flu.
I agreed with this lockdown three months ago. Now? Not so much.
Yes,,and lets penalize the younger generation who didn't get to walk down the graduation aisle,or the scholarship to play sports or continue the education they so longingly hoped for. Or the one who were going to get a job to help out but guess what? ,,Look,I am old as well,but I am not going to ask these kids with what we all know is the greatest times of thier life to watch it all get thrown away..AGAIN,,100 cases in my whole county,,NO deaths,,Move to my area,,it may kill us all one day ,, Fix your hair and go out if you want, or stay your ass inside and die one day and wish you had went somewhere with the family. Thats your call,,I choose to live while im alive.And if you want my mailing address to send me a check I will be glad to stay inside and not work or play,,BUt if you arent willing to pay my bills then I am going to do what I want to do,,and whether you want to admit it or not,,We on the downhill side,,Life is short,play hard,,I vote for lets open it up,,if you want to go outside ,,go,,you may die,,if you want to live inside in a bubble ,,do it,,but ,,we all gonna die,,Put me in the Salty category,,But im done living for someone else rules,,Selfish huh?
You say you're on the downhill side so what's a few more weeks of quarantine to kill this thing. Not too much of a sacrifice. If it saves one of the graduates to be that would be enough. Case you haven't looked the areas that are opening early are starting to show increased numbers. Wait 2 weeks and see how you feel then. By safe.

"A few more weeks" will put millions more out of work, for one thing. How do these people feed their family? What about the businesses that will never re-open? That's a pretty big sacrifice these people have made already.
We cant be locked down for years.
HERE IN MASSACHUSETTS OUR GOVERNOR CHARLIE BAKER DOESNT WANT THIS VIRUS TO END HE IS ENJOYING HIS DAILY PRESS CONFERENCES NEXT TO CUOMO IN NEW YORK THIS GUY THINKS HE IS AUDITIONING FOR A HOLLYWOOD PART :shrug:

You're right let's sacrifice lives for a paycheck.
Not sure where you came up with the millions more out of work but the people that were laid off are entitled to unemployment plus a $600/week federal subsidy.
The business that will never reopen were probably doomed in the first place like the people that would have died anyway.
Hope it doesn't hit one of you family members.
At least your governor isn't going to succumb to peer pressure and open too early.
I think that everyone's area and situation is different and if you do not feel comfortable with the opening up ? Just continue doing what you are, no problem with that at all. If you are in a situation where you need to work and it opens up to do so, Go back to work.... What ever "you" decide ......It's Your own decision! Period! No one needs to put anyone down for making their own decision, just like what to eat or drink or what ever.
Wife has me on a flight back to Colorado a week from now and yeah I am nervous as hell. I have two big bags of Clorox wipes, gloves, masks and will bring my own snacks. We ate at a restaurant and we were two of four people in the whole place, because we went at 2 pm on purpose. Again, is what you are comfortable with!
If I had underlying issues there is no way I would fly or go to a restaurant.......but that's just me :0008

I guess the entire country should go on unemployment. Look how much we would prosper!
You need to change your signature.
Nice retort.
I'm not asking all the people that want to go and do their thing to stay huddled inside. All I'm saying is have a little respect and courtesy for the people you may come in contact with. It's a small sacrifice on everyone's part to make the other person safe. No let's say I can do what I want with no regard for other lives.
No one is dragging you into the streets, and we are still a far cry from business as usual.
Unless some people who want to get back to work break into your house and cough all over you.....you should be fine.
