Purell in my car will have to suffice for the gloves. Masks yes, but gloves are hard for me to do. Might be a good idea, but tough for me to get used to.

Actually, I don't envision it being "over" until we get a vaccine. Flattening the curve was just trying not to overwhelm the hospitals until we caught up on equipment and such. This whole time on lockdown, we are probably averaging 30k positive tests per day and most people are not even getting tested. The good thing about opening in the late spring is that the weather is on your side. Warm weather returning to the northern states should help them. I say that as we are heading back down below freezing tonight, haha.

Same account since I joined years and years ago. I don't "block" people or whatever. Just don't go to TB anymore. They just wait on Bull to drop in and it is like a piranha attack. They no longer exchange opinions, only insults.....and death wishes. Anyway, back to the virus. Here is cool mask.

It's the 80/20 thing. 80% of the country are pretty decent, middle of the road folks, no matter their political leanings.

As I said earlier, this is probably not the place for me to debate you about gun toting racists

Kudos to Tommy Shaw for working with youth orchestra in Cleveland and a fantastic show. Those kids will remember the night forever. Dude still has it.

This dude was as instrumental the the rock n roll beginnings as Elvis. RIP sir

Things were a bit divided before Trump. I would say Clinton years are were it started getting past the point of civility

Actually, Trump did not call the virus a hoax. Late nighters and Twitter will lead you to believe that. Washpo and others agree

Meh, Fauci has been there forever and would have been crafting the same policy if the pandemic had happened to Clinton, Bush, Obama and now Trump. The cheerleading would have been different, but the policy pretty much the same. For all of Trumps blabbering, they pretty much stuck w what Fauci and Birks told them to do. Probably as much as the other guys would have done

You could be right, might have judged too quickly. You just seemed to be following the same path as so many others. My apologies.

Most people will try to take advantage of the ill informed, reactionary public. But, whether or not Trump is a loud mouth, or Obama is cool and calm, or Bush is folksy, or Clinton bites his lip, there is not much any of them could have done on this other than take some precautions. People will use a crisis for their advantage, especially in an election year. You and Bull and 4 Corners and most others that want to be political, are not very concerned with the virus at all. It is just a time to grind your ax. You can argue all day that he should have done something quicker, but then Dems were criticizing the moves. Most Pols automatically land on the other side of every argument based on the D and R. These are just societal facts in a Democracy and especially one that is in an election year. This type of stuff is all the better in the Tinderbox. There, they hope each other dies, wish you would die, hope you do things that kill you. It is a right respectable place, if you are into that type stuff.

The Tinderbox has a thread that is full of stupidity and name calling. Check it out

Take this back to TB

I know the mods agree with you, but take it to the TB anyway

You "low point" about everything you touch here, so pardon if you get deaf ears on that one

They would come under the "people chasing billions" part of my statement

Actually, I thought it was going to be a finger prick. Turned out that it was a vile. Supposedly 99% accurate for Covid 19. Asked about the finger prick and she said their accuracy was in the 80 something % accuracy. Will know something Tues/Wed next week

Yep Quest $119 Have to visit one of their labs, make appt and pay online, come in with mask, they call your name, get results via internet. Feel like my wife had it because of her symptoms. Thinking/hoping I was the asymptomatic carrier where she caught it(something). I have been in and out and she never left home. Will advise

Taking antibodies test tomorrow

Might find out that cases go up but deaths do not upon reopening the country. I think the thing has spread to far more places than originally thought

I also don't doubt one bit that hospitals, knowing that the gov will pay the bills on covid 19 cases, will code things as "suspected" coronavirus without any tests. Follow the money is pretty simple. There are billions out there for the taking, figure out a way to get some of it.

Some of the beach stuff did seem a bit "out there". But, you do build up immunities by being exposed to stuff. So I take both sides of the argument with agreement and skepticism to a degree

The government and people chasing government handouts of billions, would never do anything shady. C'mon

That why she's an ex now? joking
