City council voting to shut down Charleston tonight. I'm sure Hanahan, Goose Creek, Summerville, etc. will follow.

I guess if Trump and the other republican law makers won’t take this seriously then it’s up to local government

Just found out that my wife may have been exposed to it.  Just found out some idiot that my wife works with came to work today despite already knowing that her husband was on his way to be tested for it.   Hard to imagine that someone would be that stupid.   

I’m not surprised by this. Hope your wife is good. Typical ignorant, entitled American attitude From your wife’s coworker.

Yep, the root cause of the big outbreak in the Colorado ski resort towns was traced back to a group of Australian tourists who tested positive here and were ordered to isolate themselves while efforts were made to get them back home. Instead of following that order, they instead went skiing and bar hopping as previously planned.

Honestly, people like that should be facing criminal charges. How is it not reckless endangerment?

Agree we need to hold these people accountable. I don’t know what the punishment is but I believe if you know you have HIV/AIDS and have sex with some without telling that person it’s a felony and punishable by jail time.

I have an essential job in communications.  I am in peoples homes everyday.  I think people in these types of jobs who are clearly putting themselves at risk , should receive compensation.  Hazard pay if you will.

I do maintenance at a retirement home. Before I do a work order, I call the resident and explain that I'm coming over, I'm going to knock and come in and announce myself, and fix the problem. For both of our protection, they have to stay 10 feet away.

Apparently, that translates to "Be standing by the door when I get there".

They are so starved for attention, I assume they are getting zero contact these days.

My girlfriend’s job let the higher ups work from home but insisted they were essential. Their entire company has been set up to telework long before this all happened. Her co worker came in contact with a person who she had to visit as a part of her work. Now she is infected along with part of the office. And oh look, after this the company decided to let everyone telework not just the company favorites. Talk about reactive and not being proactive. The governor said no more than ten people yet her office has 50 with hundreds walking in and out.

If she came down with the virus and then affected me you can bet your ass I’ll be taking to legal counsel when this is all over. Without going into the nature and details of the job I can tell you this is the definition of negligence.

It’s reasons like this the quarantine won’t work for Americans. People don’t listen some don’t have a choice because companies won’t listen. And the. There’s unemployment for people who can’t work from him. Just a big mess.

A coworker of mine has a sister in NY.  Sister works in a nursing care facility.  She is receiving hazard pay.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Winning ain't gonna make my eyes lie to me. Context matters, and it will always matter in the game of football.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      That TD pass to Legette against Miami. Elite. The play where Bryce rolls right to buy time until Tet can reverse field.  Bryce pumps as multiple defenders close in.  He barely gets it away before he takes a big time hit.  Beautiful off platform throw and great catch by Tet.   The second TD to Tet against Dallas where Bryce dips and turns his shoulder in to evade the pass rusher.  Resets and finds Tet in the end zone. Dude embodies the Keep Pounding mantra.
