Its impossible to go back to the office and be "safe." All you can do is try to avoid obviously dumb poo.

I honestly believe this will have a lasting effect on millions of people. I don't think this will be one of those things that's forgotten completely 6 months from now. Now, I don't see it being totally life altering...but there are some habits and thoughts that will go thru millions of peoples heads going forward, even if its subtle.

That's what I would picture.

I'm wondering how much of the online stuff will become "the new normal" going forward. Be it school, work, etc.

The New York cases originated from Europe, after the European cases originated from China. The Washington cases originated from China.

Didn't a house committee vote to try to overturn Trump's travel ban? That didn't age well either.

I love how you always preface your political opinions with "politics aside..."

I think relaxing the red tape is going to be one of the biggest factors in allowing us to get something quicker than "normal."

They are doing an excellent job and I've grown alot of respect for the governor of California thru this. He is the governor of a state with a mass media market thats getting hit with a sledgehammer vs other states and they get to pit him vs the President of the United States. I wouldn't attempt to put much more meaningful thought into it than that.

I get mine from Speedway, its closer to me. They sell it in the little dispenser in the men's restroom.

I am not so sure this is true. The NBA for example said they had an "out" from paying players because games were cancelled. They paid them to start April but could trigger it with the next paychecks due...from what they are saying. I am sure the NBA isn't the only league with that language in their CBA.

We could come up with something that is 100% effective against COVID 19 tomorrow and when we put people back out there, some will die. That's life. "Beware a man's opinion that costs him nothing." Scientists can tell us what something is and what it does. When it comes to what we should do about it, that's a different story. Where I'm at we definitely are not at capacity, but they are preparing for it all the same. Right now New York appears to be an outlier in the US. We'll see.

Do you have a clue what conversation you just jumped in, or are you talking just to talk at this point?

Thanks, you too.

I didn't say anything about "get rich quick," that's on you. But there's plenty of money to be made right now, and I'm sorry you weren't taught how to go make it. But have fun "socking it away."

This is the mentality that separates the eternally broke from those that accumulate wealth. There is a ton of money to be made right now. Just don't be mad at those that make it, instead of "socking it away."

A ton of money was lost, that's for sure. But a ton of money was made, and will be made as well. My opinion is that a lot of publicly traded companies are going to accelerate losses on their reports, making things look even worse than they were. But that will help their reports going forward.

Don’t fall into the trap of getting on the defensive. He can either debate his viewpoint vs yours on the merits or he can’t. You are giving him an easy out.

Are we the worst per capita? Asking for me. and Happy Easter, for real.

That's awesome. Will you promise that China and Europe will start taking on these endless wars now too? You know, the ones that people say they hate until Trump tries to pull back US troops? Thanks in advance.

Part of the problem is the lines are blurred. You have experts out there calling it like they see it, but then you have other legit experts playing politics with it. Its hard to tell the difference sometimes.

Very well said and I agree. People have gotten so "all or nothing" when it comes to anything even remotely political that you either believe every single thing that's being said or nothing. There is no in-between. Its silly.

Yes, I've read about New Zealand. Did you ever look up New Zealand on a map? I am more interested in a country like Germany, because of how unique a situation New Zealand is. "Countries where elimination is likely to be the most feasible are those which can manage their borders tightly, have the resources for the sustained high volumes of testing and contact tracing required, and which can implement the kinds of lockdowns that may be needed to eliminate chains of transmission." https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/apr/10/elimination-what-new-zealands-coronavirus-response-can-teach-the-world

What specifically are you calling "the strictest measures?" Because from what I've seen as the strictest, is literally impossible to do in America unless you want a civil war. Then after killing off millions of Americans, you can do those things. Of course by then, the virus will be gone.
