My OH redneck friends are losing their minds over the authoritarian lockdown he is exercising right now. Communist is a frequently used term in their rants. I'm happy Dewine is stepping up to meet the challenge, I'm also very glad I don't live anywhere near my redneck friends in OH any more.
completely agree. the lack of available testing in this country is appalling. my wife went to the dr, 2 days ago. dr assured her, that no covid-19 positive people had been in his office. how would he know? no tests.
Either way... that scares the bejeezus out of me. That's essentially how Jack died.
I could easily see this "redneck friends"* segment of the population doing some type of uprising through all these measures. It's hard to reason with them about even common sense topics and these type of quarantines are going to push them over the edge. I honestly don't know "what" I am. In my extended family, I'm the city guy. At work (in the city), I'm a redneck hilljack. I can relate to either side, but, neither claims me.
Maybe I'm "wishy-washy".
Same here. I am a "redneck city guy" for sure. Although I don't own guns, so maybe not that redneck.I could easily see this "redneck friends"* segment of the population doing some type of uprising through all these measures.

August doesn't seem right based on the China data, but it is TBD...that seems like a worst case.
Yes - Trump saying it could be July/August scares the #### out of me - he's done everything he can to keep people calm/down play this previously.
they are getting checked before allowed in the room, but yes, annoying since you can have it without symptoms.
I'm kinda like you, I can travel in either circle comfortably but I'm not sure either would lay claim to me at this point.I could easily see this "redneck friends"* segment of the population doing some type of uprising through all these measures.

Well China essentially locked down the country to combat this and did things that the US will not/can not do. I suspect that 1. it was much, much worse than China ever let on and they disposed of the evidence very quickly and 2. China isn't done with this yet.
For those that don't click on the link, that's in the U.S., not worldwide.
Haven't heard about this yet, but I know of many restaurants (including where Mr. krista works) that are staying open until 11:59 pm tonight in advance of the midnight ban. The owners want to squeeze out those last nickels.
I’m trying, I’m trying...work had me away for a bit and I come back to SF on lockdown and 10 people or less and it’s just crazyStep away from the
Went in for about 4 hours early this morning, have not heard anything from management about whether we are still expected to continue working.
I know a LOT of folks in the service industry - non owners - who literally have no idea how they will weather this storm financially. And that is assuming they DON'T get sick, or if they do, it's "just a flu / bad flu" - It's understandable why folks call against any public place to be open, but it's just as understandable that someone is fighting to keep every last bit of their potential income because they might not see a paycheck for weeks, or months.
I'm embarrassed for our population, seeing this and reading a different poster above talking about a redneck friend (his words, not mine). Thinking about all of the men and women who have sacrificed greatly for our national benefit, average Joe/Jane can't even find the fortitude to stay home, sit on a sofa and watch TV in our national interest.
Breaking local news now. Trump was interrupted.Went in for about 4 hours early this morning, have not heard anything from management about whether we are still expected to continue working.
Does he want to be President? I like the foresight. We need to think about mass absentee voting nationwide for November.
I was wildy criticized for saying that this weekend.
