We all have varying opinions about the impact of this, the numbers, etc. We will all never agree with each other. But we can all keep it civil.

Thanks!

I wouldn't want to be in a car accident right now but I assume the odds might be lower , it is tempting to go out and rent a Porsche though.

Yikes.
We could let prisoners fight it out gladiator style. Also solves the lack of sports problem.

Sold!



We're inching towards a dystopian police state anyway. Why not steer into the skid?

I can't quite agree but I don't disagree either.

you know its not being said, but Europes testing numbers are still bad. France hasn't even hit 300k tests yet. Western Europe is going to be a hot bed soon.

Couple things...you can't use them everywhere, most places view them the same a smoking a cigarette. And I know numerous people that have successfully used them to quit smoking, and then quit using them as well not too long after.



It's the douchebag millenials who turned it into an obnoxious hobby.

Now that they're at/near peak contraction they suddenly found said capacity? Essentially overnight? Not buying it.
Info is here.

OK, this helps to make sense of it a lot:

At least it's not "we played with the numbers a bunch and came up with a new answer!"

I usually go out just after sunset and tear it up. There's no one on the interstate and it's definitely safer to drive like a hooligan. Hell I hit 85 mph just going up the on ramp the other night. It's also extremely therapeutic.
