Somewhere between "no worries mate" and "Dooooomed!!!" Is the right attitude.

Ditto, somewhere between 24/7 self bombardment, ( like watching news channels ) and "don't wanna know", is the "right" attitude there...




That pretty well nails my thinking ........

Some things you've said make it clear that you are rejecting reality though.

Would you care to state what that might be?

G


As an example, dismissing contact tracing as being worthwhile. It's SOP with infectious diseases, and proven effective. No, it's not easy. Another example, is dismissing the videos I've posted as "chicken little" videos without watching any of them. The provide up to date information about what's going on with this virus. Calling them chicken little is a rejection of reality.

In all seriousness Greg, this is turning into a silly argument between us. That's not my intent at all. My intent is simply to make it easier to stay informed. Information is critical to managing risk. It's why many people preach ATGATT with motorcycles.

I will continue discussion about the virus situation, as well as the videos. I'm going to end this current distraction that you and I have going right now, and will offer you my best wishes.

https://spectator.org/apocalypse-no/

We know the numerator, but not the denominator.”
— Leading medical researcher, name withheld, discussing the statistical effect of the coronavirus 2019


“I don’t claim to know what’s motivating the media, but, my God, their reporting is absolutely reprehensible. They should be ashamed of themselves. They are creating a panic that is far worse than the viral outbreak. The bottom line, everybody, is to listen to Dr. Anthony Fauci of the CDC [Centers of Disease Control and Prevention]. Do what he tells you, and go about your business.… Stop listening to journalists! They don’t know what they are talking about!”

Sorting the truth, from the hype, can be difficult.

Ignore that the Iranian & Chinese government considers honesty a sin. If you don't end to lie, you're a fool, and shouldn't be allowed to use metal scissors, much less vote.

And the last decade plus of media coverage of politics shows the major networks are biased and flat out lie "by any means necessary" to get power for evil men & women. ( If you lie to win, you are evil )

And they've politicized everything. Tornado in Kentucky? Trump's fault for leaving the Paris accords. Earthquake in Haiti? Trump's fault for promoting fracking in N.Dakota. Chinese death virus? Trump's fault for closing the border. Or not closing the border. Or Baron made it in the secret laboratory under the Lincoln Memorial. Or whatever lie was fed them today.

You can't even be sure there was a tornado. Not if they lie about everything else.

Coverage of Covid-19 is hysterical, pompous self aggrandizement, sound bite soap sales.

That You should actually use soap is an ironic coincidence.

Even if you nuke all of China there will still be a new flu going around your neighborhood next year. It will just come from somewhere else. You can name it whatever you want, but you will always be at risk. That's life.

I've been told, off the record, that schools in Illinois are done for the year. I imagine that many states will do the same. In Michigan, we were told we were out until April 5th, conditionally. I wonder what will be done with all the kids that didn't finish that year of school?

My wife was just talking to a friend back in IL. She's got a daughter who is scheduled to graduate college in 2020. School has closed early. No graduation ceremony. You'll get your diploma in the mail, despite not finishing classes. Respected college in Boston if it matters. Interesting times. I hope medical and engineering students don't get the same pass.

Let citizens shoot BACK. That'll slow the violence, one of two ways:

1. the crooks may think twice because the other guy may be armed

2. the crooks will all get dead, because they DIDN'T think twice and the other guy was armed.

Win.
Win.

I live (and carry) in Maryland. This is ridiculous. The mayor is a putz.

The Baltimore mayor makes as much sense as the Left Coast governor? mayor? who issued the avoid travel/social distancing/stay home edict, which contained a specific 'does not apply to the homeless' provision . . . .

Local funding was recently approved to try and temporarily house homeless people in CA in.. well, anywhere possible that can have reasonable social isolation between people. This is an attempt to limit spread of the virus but portions of the homeless population often do not want to be housed with other homeless people.

EDIT: Our dry spell has ended and it has also been raining all week in much of CA, adding to the urgency.

Excellent video by Les Stroud, and short too! If you don't know who that is, it's a shame, but he is pretty much an expert on survival. Real deal stuff, and how much is a mental game. Talks about what you need to do, and the difference between being prepared and hoarding. Good stuff!

That might sterilize things a bit.

Methinks you've ducked and covered a few too many times, EBeeatch. Maybe by now you can bend over well enough to kiss your sweet ass 'bye.

Hope you fare well too, Hoot.

This has gotten to be flat ridiculous.

Ed. Stand down, please calm yourself, I mean you no harm, and I'd appreciate it if you'd retract your statement. Read mine above, and know know that I wrote that briefly in anger.

My apologies.

My point to you, pardon the pun (see my post that flared you up), is simply calm a bit. More than a bit. I'd personally not recommend hitting the nuc button against anyone. Highly irrational.

What John said.

City of Fresno declares a state of emergency "and suspends the Constitution" (my words).

https://tinyurl.com/u6p3k9y

This news story seems unreal. The city's definition of a disaster or emergency is also pretty broad and even covers "extraordinary air pollution".

Let me get this straight, the air quality gets bad and they enforce a curfew, suspend ammunition and alcohol sales, put price controls in place, etc.

I didn't get out of that hell-hole too soon.
