No idea what that means. Missed the offense that created that and the okie pokey stuff.

That does seem ridiculous.Sorry. Someone was triggered and reported the word sunshine.
I'm just saying you don't have to use the report button, I wouldn't, but I get it when I'm reported and the management has made it clear...you will be suspended, it will be unfair
I'm on a 6 month or so ban free run :knocksonwood:

It wasn't the word, it was how it was used. Context is everything.Sorry. Someone was triggered and reported the word sunshine

Agreed..I just came back from a month ban...and not even for posting in the politics board.
I feel no impact. Took my lumps. BFD

When you are called out by the board owner for being far more work than any of the other posters, you gotta look in the mirror a little bit I would think.Sorry. Someone was triggered and reported the word sunshine

I understand your reputation as being on the Mt Rushmore of post reporters but with all due respect the context doesn’t matter with sunshine . It was , well let’s leave it at that

Donald should postpone the election in November until we see how this pandemic plays out

I can't really share anything that isn't already public knowledge. I don't want to overstate my importance here, I'm not an MD or a nurse. Suffice it to say that the hospital I work for, thankfully, is taking a much more proactive approach and treating the situation much more seriously than the Administration is.
If you are under the age of 60 and don't have underlying medical issues, there's an approximately 80% chance you won't have symptoms significantly worse than the common cold. And thankfully children seem to be the least likely to contract and suffer from COV-19.
But because the asymptomatic incubation time can be upwards of 2 weeks, you could have it and spread it to hundreds of people without even a hint that you're a carrier. And just because you get it once doesn't mean you can't get it again. And just because you think you're healthy and won't be affected doesn't mean that's true. If you come down with a regular strain of the flu, which morphs into pneumonia, and THEN you come into contact with COV-19, you could be in a world of hurt, even if you had no health issues prior. It wouldn't take long, at exponential rates of infection, to overwhelm our healthcare system, even if only a relatively small percentage of the infected require hospitalizations. None of this has a damned thing to do with a mortality rate, just infection rates.
If you're planning on hopping on a flight, then a connecting flight, to visit your 80 year old relatives in Arizona over spring break, you're being pretty damn irresponsible, IMO. I'm currently arguing with my wife over our plans to go on a family trip to a large indoor water park/resort with the kids over spring break. Regrettably, my wife will probably win that argument, because marriage. But 2 weeks from now, this'll be a whole different ballgame than it is right now.
PS, thanks for your service my man, and some of the frontline info you've shared with us. Hope you're staying safe. You'll be home soon, no?

Yep! Only several more days left. Manifested for a military flight back to the states, but it's 20% overbooked right now. I'll find out Friday if I make the cut or not. My unit has less travel restrictions in place than a lot of other units, so I might get bumped to commercial travel. I'm not looking forward to that option.
Luckily I'm just headed home to the wife and kids, and won't have any interaction with my parents for a while. We'll drive out to see them late summer like always assuming things calm down by then.

There were people in that thread saying the President in his family should get he virus, you must have missed that. And you are playing politics with this entire contradiction of a post here.

One person did that, tongue in cheek, and he got suspended for it, deservedly. Hopefully Bozeman did too. His statements were hateful and untrue. Read my posts up thread and tell me again I'm playing politics. I'm saying it's time for unity and solidarity. Time to remember that we are in this together.
At least TWO people did.
whatever it takes
And a whole lot of folks liking those two post.

He didn't read off a teleprompter the other night in Philadelphia and it was probably his best speech of the 2020 campaign.

Imagine Biden managing any of this. His address tonight would probably be about banning travel to China.
squistion
Footballguy
Yes I can and he doesn't have to read off a teleprompter to give a serious speech, unlike Trump.
That has nothing to do with my proposition, unless you're agreeing with me that he wouldnt be able to read off a teleprompter. Whoo hoo! We agree on something!

You cant jump in a discussion and put forth an arguement as if that's what I'm trying to discredit. That's not how whataboutry works. I was directly taking a shot at Biden. You jumping in saying, but Trump! when I'm doing that would be an example of whataboutry.

I think it would be the same honestly. That wasn’t great.
Not many people would be good at that though. I try and focus on what they say (unless it’s some dumb stump speech).
Was glad to see Trump was clear this is some deep doodoo time and we need to get out #### together.

Ah the Russia excuse that y’all wasted years on and was a complete bust....get with the times you need to be blaming Trump for the deadly virus that started in China with the rest of the daily tantrum throwers.

We tried a POTUS that read well off the teleprompter, unfortunately it was an 8 year disaster of unkept promises and excuses. Hard pass.

You know, I’ve said here often that we are so divided as a country that it would take a national tragedy to bring us all together again (I was not hoping for one to be clear, but saw it as our only hope). I was clearly wrong. We’ve somehow politicized that too. Unbelievable.

And you guys* denigrated him for reading well and speaking eloquently. Non-stop.
Bizarro world.

The bolded is what’s worried me from the start of at least when they found out the majority have mild symptoms. This has probably been spreading here even before the flight ban form those that flew in from China before it started. Once that’s started it’s like wildfire.
Do yourself a favor and skip the indoor water park if you are concerned about the severity of this.

only if I have to travel commercial. Middle east is already "off limits" due to the coronavirus for us. We've been going through London, Paris, Amsterdam and Germany for our connections. I'm not sure what the plan would be now. Should be fun figuring this out tomorrow.

Wasn’t there a belief this started in early December in Wuhan, but the lockdowns started a month later?

Great advice. But you don't know my wife. At least I hope you don't.
Oof. Good luck, man. Hopefully you get home soon.

False claims like this work a lot better over in the Russia and PSF Coronavirus thread, head back that way.You guys brought the world "teleprompter" to the country's public attention with it.

He’s just terrible at reading speeches. He’s a great off the cuff speaker at times, that can’t be denied (though he also can ramble like crazy when he does that) and when he speaks off the cuff there is a natural passion in his voice and ,I hate to admit, charisma.
But he loses all that when he has to read anything. He sounds tired, strained, dead. No emotion whatsoever
