Is it 12K? 100K? 1M? Never said it was not a problem. It is a problem but it's not the only problem. Just pointing out facts. It is a concern as is 3.3M in a week filing jobless claims......and list of other things that you wouldn't care about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not doing as such WILL result in an absolute shitshow that will spill into every other aspect of people’s lives. So here we are. We knew this was coming, yet this nation's hospitals are woefully ill-equipped and unprepared, even for something as simple as basic testing. And Trump is requesting all of America be open by Easter? I understand the need to get America working again, but thank god he cannot override state and local decisions. Yea this is America, not Russia. Trump said he "hopes" to have the country running by Easter. Will it happen? Probably not. But we're really going to be upset with him having hope? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cratter Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 When are we gonna call this for what it really is, a bar and restaurant shut down (a some others who self closed). So many business still open. Barbers. Upholstery shops. Used car lots. Mechanics. Body shops. Print shops. Auto Part Stores. Construction sites. Computer repair shops. "CD and music" shops. Vaccuum repair. Bookstores. Etc. If you're not a bar or restaurant and you closed down. Might as well reopen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Cuomo says it, it is inspiring, calming, and a demonstration of great leadership. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yzerman19 Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 China most certainly lied in the beginning. The draconian measures they took to stop the initial spread would never have been tolerated in the USA or anywhere in the free world. This is NOT the 12 Monkeys virus either, in which case I could support draconian measures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post yzerman19 Posted March 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 26, 2020 As I advanced in my career, one of the greatest blind spots I’ve observed in many talented people is their inability to appreciate the fact that they dont know what they don’t know or they assume that they have the same basis in data or understanding as others in the room. It applies to both IQ and EQ facets. To me it’s the biggest hurdle for people trying to get the executive suite. It’s painfully obvious that it applies to the body politic in spades and half of that body having no actual talent. 1 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And so is De Blasio for hoping NYC schools will open in a month. In fact, suggesting as such is down-right dangerous given the current situation.. De Blaio's buffoonery doesn't justify Trump's buffoonery. The two aren't mutually exclusive. Idiots, both of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
