Welcome to Our Forums. Once you've registered and logged in, you're primed to talk football, among other topics, with the sharpest and most experienced fantasy players on the internet.
I have hesitated to make this point, but believe it to be true deep down:
he is a brohan thats for damned sure and you can take that to the bank all day long and twice because its sunday
Wait.... You're telling me the 5G corona towers aren't coming to steal Bill Gates poisoned vaccines?
Not worth it at this point. The clique is piling on.
I see a few responses in this thread about golf, so I guess there's a sort of smattering of opinions already.I gotta be honest; golf is one of those activities that should theoretically ok to leave open if the people playing it would be responsible and take careful measures (one per cart, don't pull the flag, don't congregate). Unfortunately, in my experience, I'm not confident the folks playing golf would be the ones to be extra careful there. My Dad is in his low 80s and really needs golf in the Spring/Summer/Fall for his mental health. But, I'm awfully uneasy the old farts at the course would do the right things.
My last working day in Midtown was October 15th. I worked on the corner of 39th and 8th. Before that 34th and 5th (not ESB).
Is the course open? Seems fine, but if course is closed, the powers that be may come after you.
Yeah I heard this Friday that it is open but I still haven't checked it out. The website says nothing.
Still not enough tests?
Because you don't if I want bananas and avocados for tonight or 4 days from now. You don't know the size of baked potatoes I like. You don't know it that boston butt is going to strike my fancy and create an idea necessitating other items. You don't know the 6 things I've forgotten on my list that I'll remember once I walk past them.
I wouldn't see it as a problem. Is it exposing yourself to a little more risk. Sure. BUt as long as you are not living or interacting with anyone immunocompromised, or 70+ y.o. or some such I cn't see much potential for harm onto others. Obviously don't hang out and chat over beers etc afterwards
The labor required for everyone to have their own personal shopper would be insane.
I've seen them in the Whole Foods. How much does that service cost? Do you mind giving me a quick run down?
@AlexBerenson: Florida hospital update: Another 1300 beds opened up overnight, the hospitals are now almost half-empty. ICU beds flat. https://twitter.com/AlexBerenson/status/1246770148813549569/photo/1
I venture out on Saturdays to volunteer for an essential service. Masks on the subway have been de rigueur for at least three weeks, but yesterday was the first time I’ve observed 80%+ usage on the street. Social distancing seems more pervasive with each passing day.
Grocery stores are raising prices and discontinuing weekly sales. Restaurants are no longer a threat to compete for meal purchases. Business is booming.
The mask does three things:
Prime has free delivery from Whole Foods. The food costs are definitely up a bit since this started, but I think that's true in the store as well.
Fortunately our stores are still running weekly sales, although I agree that pricing has gone up in general, especially PT and TP.
all grocery stores in canada (ontario, cant speak elsewhere) still running weekly deals. decent ones too.
I love that he refers to it as a clique and not a group of people telling him he is overwhelmingly wrong.
The mask isn't designed to protect YOU. That's the dirty little secret the CDC doesn't want to admit. It's to protect others FROM you! And why they previously stated that masks aren't effective in preventing the wearer from contracting the virus.
Yes. It seems we’re trying to catch mosquitos with a fishing net. But until N95 masks become available, I guess it’s all we have.
I'd love to have the mods unhide the hidden comments at the beginning of this thread. Some of them are quoted here and there, but you can't find the original (wildly wrong) post anymore.
Not at all. When a pile occurs, it may be that the mob got stirred with an unpopular but accurate opinion that it needs to know.
And some in this thread are worried they won't get properly sized potatoes.
Are you volunteering for you and your family to be included in the 50K+?
It either stops the particle size or it doesn’t. It doesn’t. A much better solution is for symptomatic people to stay home.
Cost-benefit analyses about the monetary value of life often sound very casual because of the assumption that money can replace (or mollify the emotions that come with) the loss of a loved one.
Actually, all masks, even home made ones, prevent more particles coming in (inward protection) than going out.
Particles come in varying sizes. The larger ones carry the highest viral loads and are the ones most likely to be stopped by a less-than-ideal mask.
So those people would need to be isolated from their families and probably given significant gov't support, unless I'm misunderstanding.
Peak infections by end of April, peak deaths by mid-May...then what. Maybe I'm being overly optimistic, but no one has ever accused me of that before.
Why would the pandemic be any different than everything else post-Internet?
Wearing a N95 properly protects you from others that are sick. Wearing a cloth mask protects others from you should you be sick.
Not sure what then. I'm hoping your timeline about infections is correct, aside from the peak deaths. Nothing good about that.Peak infections by end of April, peak deaths by mid-May...then what. Maybe I'm being overly optimistic, but no one has ever accused me of that before.
