  1. And I was feeling positive that people were starting to get it.... thongs and train horns for the mother fucking win!
  2. After spending 3-4 hrs outside doing lawn work the whole family went for a little drive today and swung down by the beach. (Didn't get out of the car) It's Sunny, beautiful, and middle 80s here. Spring Break is DONE in Ft Lauderdale. Signs warning of arrest for trespass on the sand and groups of cops every block or so. The Elbow room is hard CLOSED... although I did see some t-shirt shops are still open. WTF? People are still on the sidewalk, not as many as I thought but looked like some tourist trying to make the best of it and the usual locals on bikes, blades, and skateboards. A lot of people are heading out on their boats. More than usual out and I think that's fine, certainly they're social distancing. Restaurants are still open for take out, ice cream shops too. Best Buy, fucking Best Buy is still open and lots of cars in the parking lot. There is a lot of confusion as to who will enforce closures and there are some businesses that are flat out no playing along. Several of the large cruise ships are just hanging on the hook off the beach (very unusual) All the ships are in and I guess there isn't enough dockage in port - I think that's the best case scenario... I get the sense that people are playing along with the spirit of the thing, but shit will need to get real to catch their undivided attention. /csb
  3. Was thinking about spending the summer in Montana this year... nope. Gonna just hang out by the pool and fashion TP from palm fronds
  4. Scrounging around in the garage earlier found 3 old N95 masks. Am I now rich? Serious question are they even worth donating to the local Hospital? They are probably 4 years old and the rubber straps have seen better days.
  5. The fuck they weren't Northern Italy was burning and we still had direct flights to cities all over the US. Reporters returning to the US even wrote critical pieces that upon their return they were NOT screened in ANY way. Sorry you are flat out wrong 16 days ago!
  6. You mean Like Iran, Saudi Arabia or pick a country in Africa/S America... No If this had emerged in a western country I think we would have had information earlier but probably spread MUCH faster to the US. More travel and a MUCH lower desire to isolate those countries. The Brits are off the fucking rails and they are one of the last counties for us to isolate. If we knew in Dec (which our intel agencies almost assuredly did) and nothing really impacted us do you think we would have acted in Jan? We knew in Jan and even as alarm bells started going off we didn't do shit. I agree that China botched their response the first time and then covered up... I would ask you how is the US doing anything differently? The Federal Government & States have been hiding cases, suppressing testing, and denying information to the public and now they have pivoted to response and CYA. It's human nature.
  7. cross posted... from the DT thread
  8. Yeah I saw his response. Makes sense Sure seems like testing people would prevent a lot of that... sigh
  9. It seems like you are equating TP hoarding & shortages to Hospital ventilator shortages. People who do not need vents are NOT being put on vents. Doctors feel free to step in here and correct me if I'm wrong.
