I don't see any problem with discussion, it's actions that are potentially dangerous.

Not that any of us are experts or in charge of anything, but the way I see it boils down to risk/reward.

Is the total shutdown the best answer? Maybe not. Maybe only hiding the weak would be better.

The risk of the total shutdown is primarily that middle class people in the USA will be financially fucked.

The risk of only hiding the weak is that tens of millions of people die.
Economies can be fixed. Government can provide for its citizens, as it should in times like these.

People can't be made undead. Unless....this is just the start of the Zombie Apocalypse. :tinfoil:

That's where I come down on it.

My entire families mental health has plummeted big time. Because we can’t do anything.

Wifey was finally getting to be in a really good place after a few years. And then the state decided to say fuck everyone; we don’t give a fuck about you or your mental well-being. Stay the fuck home and be miserable.
:hai: Pecs, I'm sensing the frustration through your posts. Hope it gets better bro.
Yeah, fuck me for finally being happy with my life. I knew it was too good to be true.
Pandemic collapsing the global economy seems like a good way to fix me being remotely comfortable.

Me too. Any stuff out on the drying rack or a clean dishwasher is the first thing that gets done while I drink coffee.

Sorting and folding laundry is my household peace. I hate putting it away though.
Cutting the grass is my serenity space...... The pleasant isolation under the low drone of the small engine.....the familiarity of the property.....the quest for simple symmetry.... mmmmmm

So it is confirmed that the EB president has Covid-19. Shitty, but I’m really hoping this is the catalyst for us to get to wfh.

She justtttt started the cash transition. Cutting her insurance list down just to the high reimbursements and going cash with everyone else. All new slots are cash only.
Helping the people who need it the least. :fancy:

Why all the slots being filled? Are people having issues with isolation?

I watched the last star war yesterday. Was meh.

Bringing back long lost fat characters is weak.
Bringing back dead characters is weak.
More planetary destruction weapons is weak.
Copying a storyline yet again is fucking weak.
More stupid pointless side missions to take up screen time.
And now we have treasure hunts for reasons.

:nevermind:
