Would you feel better if I commonly used a derogatory word to explain a disabled person? Or maybe if I was pulled over while driving under the influence, after continuing to drive for several minutes in a low speed chase, then denied any testing? Think the drunk still drinks? Or if I got on national tv and told lie after lie after, 30 more of them? While I picked the screen name about 17 years ago and have grown up alot since then, redneck seems to personify how most of our state votes, wouldn't you agree? And yeah, I still refer to UND sports teams as the Sioux. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better phrasing would have been something like "This stupid c*nt is playing politics with people's lives and livelihoods and is retarding Congress's ability to get the American people the help they need in this time of crisis" yeah he's just not a very good liar, he could learn a thing or two from the orange man.

Trump predicted thousands of suicide deaths though. The expert reports I've been seeing predict hundreds of thousands of deaths to those with underlying conditions. Yes this includes the 90 year old with COPD. It also affects a majority of those 65 and up. It affects the 40 year old with diabetes. It affects the 30 year old with a BMI over 25. It affects a 20 year old with asthma. And it also affects a four year old girl in remission from cancer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is your attitude after 17 years, maybe the next 17 years will be kinder to you. You are completely missing the point. The point is that many people have tunnel vision on the virus....and viruses (and suicides, heart attacks) for that matter kill a certain amount of people every year. The argument some of us are trying to make is that the total cost of the reaction to Corona isn't being looked at. If the economy is crashed in the name of saving 50,000 people from dying from the corona virus.......should society consider it a success if saving 50,000 people from virus death resulted in 100,000 dying over the next 2-3 years via suicide/stress heart attacks because they lost their job/retirement and were no longer able to support themselves or their families? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can do that on their own.......for as long as they would like. BTW......I personally saw all those examples you gave out and about during sub zero temps during the peak of flu season a couple months ago. My apologies for the double above.

The thing is though, they do need the government to enforce a shelter in place. Do you know of anyone who cannot have a transplant now because the hospital system is already overloaded? How about someone that cannot have a life saving surgery to remove a tumor? How about a cancer patient that cannot have their scheduled life saving scans until this slows down further? There's much more to this than keeping the elderly and those with underlying conditions home. We are where we are now, and the only thing we can do to make things better is by catching up and flattening the curve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yzerman19 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 First major uptick in CA COVID admissions on this morning’s Global hospital census. Including about half in ICU...including an infant, other peds, all ages thereafter as well. Some with comorbidities many without. Good news is they are spread across facilities so no bed shortages at this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a ton of unknowns, and also a ton of knowns. Unemployment even in our state is increasing dramatically. There are not a lot of options for those folks. This week I have personally had (2) young relatives in service industries lose their jobs. Thankful our family is able to help them and they will be fine, otherwise they would be screwed. Many folks are not so fortunate. This is impacting the mental health of people, especially the younger folks. It's definitely a balancing act, but we need to implement a plan to restart the economy while taking all the reasonable precautions that we can. At this point this is strictly about mitigating all classifications of damages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The son of a family friend of mine is in an ND hospital today undergoing ACL surgery. We need the government to enforce a shelter in place order? Is that what we’re calling martial law these days? When can I expect the secret police to drop off 15 of my relatives and tell us that we all now live together? Is the Wisconsin State Patrol going to arrest me when I leave to go get my oil changed later today? I’m 2,000 miles overdue - seems kind of important. BTW, my March commission check is on pace to be 1/2 of what it was last year...I’m sure the mortgage company will be sympathetic - at least for a few more days.
