It is as simple as that. They think like President Ish for Brains that they are smart and know everything when in fact they are barely literate morons. The funniest part is opening up isn't going to get people to all of a sudden run out to these places. If anyone thinks restaurants, bars, theaters are going to be even close to capacity that's lunacy. They'll end up going out of business opened or closed at this point if they haven't adjusted any of their business models. Aside who really needs any of these places? I for one don't miss any of them. Yea, I'd like to get out and do things but wow I can't waste money at Applebee's boo hoo. When I think about who I want to turn to for intellectual discussion, I assure you my first thought is always some dude named Ride the Walrus on an online football fan forum. 27 minutes ago, Gannan said: *your I’d be more impressed with you if you knew the difference between your and you’re Grammar Police in full effect.

Some more counties will be permitted to move into the yellow phase tomorrow, but several won't and mine (Dauphin) won't be among them. We're still at 113.

I still see people walk in without them and you can't tell they know they shouldn't be doing that but they can't stop themselves from being selfish arseholes They're not trying to be selfish arseholes, they're trying to tell you that you're the arsehole for wearing the mask because you have nothing to fear, it's nothing but a scamdemic. Unfortunately bio-weapons do exist and if their scare tactics don't work they very well could release one making those death numbers a reality but as of now, the death numbers are in line with the flu season.

Still we have to wear one and so does everyone else. It's called having respect for others that have to wear them or want to wear them. Doesn't matter if it is fake or not.
May 15, 20205 yr Let it be known to all you who are arguing this whole thing is an overblown hoax driven by "scare tactics": you are on the same side of the issue as EagleVA. Please let that marinate.
May 15, 20205 yr Even if it’s a "scare tactic” imagine being an "arsehole” for taking extra precaution because you value human life. I’m sure the person thinking about other people over than just themselves are the real arseholes

I am firmly in the camp that believes that when we fully reopen, we are going to see brutal outbreaks in places like Kansas City or Nashville. These red state capitols have the perfect mix of pandemic rebellion and population density to get smashed. I don't understand why Fox News and the Trumpsters continue to double, triple and quadruple down on stupid. We already know what happens when countries reopen, its happening across the world. I don't understand how anybody thinks it is positive to peddle stupid shite like "social distancing is bogus" and "masks inhibit my freedom". That stupid shite needs to be killed every time somebody says it, killed with UV light and Lysol injections. But hey, whatever, we are going to reopen. Everybody will get to bet their lives on their cockadoodle denialist theories. My question is this: when do we go back to normal? Or do you think we should have a perpetual lockdown? I don’t think anyone can accuse me of downplaying this virus. I was the first one to sound the alarm on the old board. But at some point, we have got to get back to normal. So what is the metric, or is there even a metric?
