    That's absolutely insane they're going to actually start the league season right now with all of this going on. The players Union needs some self awareness. These teams are actually going to have to be flying players and agents across the country and sending them to hospitals overrun with Covid19 patients for physicals? Postpone this a month and re-evaluate.

    It definitely is both. Also if they had been out front and let people know that if we go full quarantine and restaurants shut down that just means to dine in traffic and not delivery and take out. I bet I'd still be able to go buy potatoes and chicken right now if people weren't scared they wouldn't have any avenue to get food. I know when I heard Chicago was allowing them to stay open it surprised me because I was thinking full closure too. Just an absolutely horrible job at communicating from the top down during this process.

    Was thinking about this exact thing earlier. So pathetic how easy of an ask this is and so many can't even manage to do it. In WW2 we had the news of Japan smoking Hawaii to stoke the motivation. Unfortunately with a pandemic you don't get the visceral imagery and motivating circumstances until it's way too late to come to action. It's why you need actual good leadership to forecast these things and act accordingly.

    I hate politicians as much as anyone but from I can tell the extent of that panic buying was a social media construct. Just like the fake gasoline shortage that hit Texas after the recent Houston hurricane. Some dumb fucks start crowing on social media about how this shortage is going to happen so more dumb fucks go out and start hoarding. That leads the rest of us to have to go buy that item if we plan on needing it within the next month. Boom, social media manufactured shortage.

    When I was in Europe playing ball our team docs recommended us to juice half a lemon and pour it into our water bottle once a day for immunity support and help with inflammation. Worked great and have been doing that fairly regularly for almost 20 years now

    How do you think this plays out over the next several months? I've been coming around to thinking it'll be filled with multiple choke points. Right now we're getting a large spike in cases so we'll go into choke point 1 for a couple of weeks hoping the medical side can catch up. After that restrictions will ease up and they'll open things back up a bit until the next choke point is needed to slow transmission down. Rinse and repeat until the spread across each area/state has taken hold enough where spikes in cases don't overwhelm the medical side anymore. I'm not sure how viable this would be or how damaging to the economy in the long run.

    That's a downright rosey outlook considering the majority of those deaths and the suffering is likely to occur very rapidly. The country is about to get hit harder in loss of life and raw number of seriously ill than possibly anyone alive now has felt in their lifetime in a short span of time.

    We learned the hard way that you should always tip on the actual bill. When we first used the service a few months ago we were going to tip only cash but the first couple of times it took forever to get our food. The third time it happened I asked the driver why was taking so long and she explained the way it works is the order is sent from the company to them on their app to either accept or decline and it tells them the total amount they're guaranteed for the order. So if you don't put the tip on the order then it looks like you're going to stiff them so drivers will just keep declining your order and it gets passed around to every driver in the area until somebody finally accepts it. Sure enough on the next order started putting a good tip and haven't had that problem since.

    I know right now doordash GrubHub and Postmates are giving customers the option of selecting a no-contact delivery, but I wonder if he raised concern with them if they'll allow drivers to also do no contact delivery if they feel safer that way. My wife used that a couple of times and they just put the order by your door and either shoot you a text or call to let you know it's there.

    if it's a bar that wants to be open for takeout and delivery orders only and not serve alcohol I would think they should be able to since plenty of restaurants that also serve alcohol will be able to stay open for delivery and takeout.
  13. Junior Miller
    I wonder if as a concerned driver he could request every delivery he does be no contact? I'm not quite sure how it works on that end of it as I just assume anything I get at this point has contaminated packaging

    I never used the word safe. Nothing is safe over the next few weeks and I think everyone here realizes that. If the wording bothered you then I'll add the disclaimer: I am not a medical expert and never meant anyone to think any action during this time, including picking up food or getting delivery from restaurants, will be 100 percent safe from contracting Covid19. That said everything I've seen and heard in over a week of researching says food borne transmission of the virus is low risk and with proper handling precautions getting delivery and takeout can be made low risk as well.
  15. Junior Miller
    I've been researching that for a solid a week plus now and everything I've seen has shown there's not much of a risk to it if you are careful. the main risk is in the packaging itself as it's handled by someone at the restaurant or the delivery person. I've heard a couple of medical professional speaking on that as well as articles like this one: https://www.efsa.europa.eu/en/news/coronavirus-no-evidence-food-source-or-transmission-route I'm by no means an expert on it but I've probably been searching for that answer more over the last eight or nine days and anybody else because I really wanted to support my local friends who own restaurants and wanted to know what the risks were. if you handle the packaging properly and dispose of it and handle the food properly as you reheat it to virus-killing temps then the risk is pretty low from what I can see.

    If he comes back positive then your son could be contagious with it right now and giving it to you even with no symptoms. Best to quarantine until you know for sure
  17. Junior Miller
    definitely. I've been ordering takeout from different mom and pop places I like this last week to help them. You can always write in instructions for them to drop the order off at your door and shoot you a text when it's there if you want to limit people contact
  18. Junior Miller
    You're right. It also is pretty rare to catch it from food especially if you reheat the food at your house to kill the virus if it is present. It's a way to keep restaurants operating at minimal staff and minimal risk but still making money
  19. Junior Miller
    Apparently the Chicago ban on restaurants doesn't include take out or delivery apps. Kind of surprised.
  20. Junior Miller
    I'd call it a clown show except I think actual circus clowns would have handled this better. It's a sad day when it's evident Americans are so ridiculously stupid that in a time of crisis the government has to save them from themselves and it's 100 percent legitimately warranted.

    Life as we know it is about to end so I'd say fuck it and go full CoD Modern Warfare for them. Get them used to killing their fellow man online first so when they have to do it in the real world soon they pull the trigger with no hesitation. JK. Maybe

    Was just asking if anyone had heard anything more from reputable sources about it since I hadn't and expressly stated I was trying to see if it was proven a hoax. No need for hostile responses. It's perfectly plausible that early patients in Wuhan almost 3 months ago could be exhibiting signs of significant lung damage by now after recovery from the infection. That's all the info I was asking if anyone had heard more about.

    If it follows the other countries it would be everything except grocery, medical, and pharmacy.

    That's the language that we being used and attributed (supposedly) to Chinese medical personnel about this nasty phenomena so that's what I used too. The phrase used to describe it was "ground glass syndrome" or something like that.
