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!

Who said social services?


Essential services.

Like food production. Amazon. Wal mart, etc...

They are hiring every day.

California is already in revolt. Some counties are essentially telling Newsom to piss off. Larger counties, like San Diego, are submitting statements to Newsome telling him that his guidelines for re-opening aren't realistic.

Individual mayors and counties have already begun the fight against Newsom's orders.

So in short, we obviously need to get things running as soon as we possibly can, but these visions of riots in the streets seem pretty far off to me.
Common sense has entered the thread.

This virus is no joke, but 3000 deaths in CA total out of 40 million people, with 50% deaths in nursing homes.

Absolute mayhem.

I'd like to add that i've noticed when major counties and such start throwing a fit as San Diego has done recently, the governor softens his stance. Haven't seen this posted yet, but as of 3 hours ago:

I don't think you'll see riots due to economic conditions.

I think you'll see riots because human tendency is to trigger the fight or flight response when they feel they've been backed into a corner, and I think many feel as though their rights, their liberties and their lives are being pulled from their grasp moreso by the day. Obviously, I hope I'm wrong. But I wouldn't be shocked to see some form of social aggression in places like LA soon.

According to the DHSS website anyway. That seems... Odd.

Putting this here for reference later. I want to see how many tests Missouri did to come up with 88 positives.

121,296 (not yet updated for 5/12/20)
124,006 tests as of today.

Possibly. It seems to me like people in LA are generally more compliant than people in the midwest are, though.

Well, yeah. But are we talking about the sunset strip or are we talking about South Central? Because it's a lot easier to sit at home all day, compliant in a mansion wiping down your car collection than it is to be piled into a 2 bedroom house with 9 of your closest family members. There are some very, very impoverished and neglected communities in LA county, and they probably feel that more than ever right now. Violent crime is even beginning to increase in rougher KC neighborhoods, and one has to believe that spike in aggression is tied to the frustrations being felt as a result of this new way of living.

I'm working at home. I'm fine with it. I'm grateful to have a paycheck and a job that allows me to do that. I'm also not deaf to the fact that many don't have that opportunity and that the frustration of communities that are already underserved is probably compounded by the sense that the rights they do have are now less than they were a few weeks ago.

It's a wild time to be alive, man.

This isn't Boyz in the 'Hood. Homes in South Central are worth more than $500k on average and Inglewood has been transformed into Silicon Beach, in which homes cost more than $1,000 per square foot.

Good fucking grief.

Dammit, you beat me to it.

I'd need one hell of a pay raise to afford to live in South Central.

Midwest: "Don't tread on me! (flag)"

California: "Dude, don't tread on Birkenstocks!"

I think that people will comply, as long as the beaches, trails and parks are open. Social Distancing will be much more difficult when millions of people are allowed to resume their normal outdoor activities but I think most people will continue to follow the orders as much as possible.

I've mentioned this earlier in the thread but more than 60% of people I've seen driving, whether it's been on my street or in Hollywood or on the freeways, have been wearing a mask in their cars.

As for guns? :-)
