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!

Did you miss the news that a game is being canceled because players on the Titans got Covid?
I still think the NFL has done a great job so far and they still haven't said how any of them got infected but the speculation is it might be one of the bus drivers.

Just don't be like some of the Raiders and go to an indoor fundraising event and not wear masks.

Yeah I never understood the difference of being able to go to Wal-Mart but not another small business. It made little sense if any.

Or how no "super spreader" events have been linked to any stores that have been open the entire damn time. Corrupt bullshit. If this shit was super dangerous, you'd see entire stores and their families wiped out with essential workers who have been around thousands of people a day for 6 months.

It's close contact for prolonged amounts of time. Most essential workers aren't in close contact with the public for long periods of time.

Super spreader events have been shown to happen all around in situations like meat processing factories where people are in tight unventilated spaces for prolonged time.

This bug is weird, had one of the mangers here at work have a kid in the household who was symptomatic test positive. A HS senior who has an identical twin brother and as usual they are very close and do everything together.

Nobody else in the household has tested positive or had symptoms including the twin brother. Multiple tests have been done on family members. The mom is a nurse. This is following the full quarantine etc...kids are back in school and he is back to work. :-)

Yeah, they're finding now the majority of people don't spread infection. It's super spreaders doing alot of it. Dunno if it's viral load or whats causing it.

Influenza is similar in this regard though, so this bug isn't crazy in that way.

My great grandma has it, they're thinking she had a stroke this morning, not doing well. Fucking terrible year for me man.

That still doesn't address the point of why small retail business were shut down but large retail businesses weren't.

Shops like local butchers and florists were already endangered here. Now they're gone.

This...absolutely fucking this. It's corrupt bullshit is what it is. Shutting the entire country down EXCEPT for large corporations is not something that I can stand for. It's total BULLSHIT.

Wal-Mart sells things like prescription drugs and food, necessities for every day life. You can't see a difference between that and going to a bar, concert, or movie theater?

It is weird and we don't have a clue right now why. So if we all just take a common sense approach and SD and wear masks we will be mostly ok.

For example, our popular Mexican restaurant just had an outbreak and they just reopened back up after a week and now only doing takeout. We have had alot of cases and I imagine some of it is from them because they never had tables socially distanced and people were packed in there. I haven't ate inside a restaurant since this whole thing started but that place is packed especially on weekends.

Our local pharmacy was shut down for 3 weeks. Local grocers were shut down or limited in customers for several weeks.

It isn't just fucking bars or movie theaters.
