Heavily invested in China, who treated them like Kings when visiting. Fond memories for some.

“Why not just have everything go out via the drive-thru”

Because they are worried about liability for walk-up customers trying to go through the drive-thru. That’s why many/most restaurants here are keeping a part of the lobby open for take out, plus accommodating customers who prefer the counter.

“The thing this virus has done is brought home the fragility of life in a way that hasn’t happened in a very long time.”

Yes.

I get that.

There’s fear of dying and then there’s fear of dying.

One is because you aren’t sure where you’re going.

The other is because of the process to get there.

There are definitely ways I want to go and there are a whole lot more ways I DON’T want to go.

You are not the only one who thinks that.

I read *One Second After* and then there's this different scenario.

Bracken: When The Music Stops – How America’s Cities May Explode In Violence

https://westernrifleshooters.wordpress.com/2012/09/03/bracken-when-the-music-stops-how-americas-cities-may-explode-in-violence/

I agree with you on that one Thud.

I would not want to be anywhere near a city with TSHTF.

I sure hope the dems in VA are enjoying their new democratic paradise government.

That’s exactly right!

I don’t mind dying, hey, everybody dies, but rather not go out being burned to death, for instance.

And no Chinese WMD either, please, Lord.

They can go out and take walks for exercise or fresh air.

Wow.

Aren’t they the lucky ones that have his highness’s permission to do that?

In Jesus’ time people made sacrifices of unblemished animals which they could buy at the temple. They could only use Jewish coins to buy. Many different currencies were used in Palestine then, so they had to be exchanged for Jewish coins. The money changers naturally made a profit, don’t know how big a profit, but obviously Jesus was against profiteering in the house of the Lord.

“When the big cities collapse, all hell will break lose.”

"I said no such thing."

Correct, sir, my apologies. It was Mariner. I don't know how you got inserted into that.

I’d disagree with that. The inside of the mask accumulates breath bacteria, and, outside a virus environment, is the dirtiest part of the mask

I understand what you are saying, but if you are correct that is a meaningless assertion on his part, and even more deserving of chiding for mathematical illiteracy.

The data is never presented on a % of cases from such and such date, because there is no way of knowing which particular test date is associated with date of death.

In fact, I am sure there are many deaths that occur where test results arrive post mortem.

The only Case Fatality Rates people pay attention to are the most currently calculated based on that days numbers. Which are also meaningless, but at least almost everyone has agreed upon what to deride or crow about, depending on their nature.

The ONLY statistic that matters is daily rate of increase in deaths. The economy has to reopen, and we can’t do that until it’s clear the worst is over and we can keep it from rebounding.

I hope you get to see the Raiders in person someday. Sadly, It won’t happen until social distancing is not needed, so don’t book your room just yet.

why is Virginia so late? it’s become the bedroom community of DC, one would think it would have shut down as early as Calif?

LOL...yep...there are those savvy eBay listers! They sure planned ahead, didn’t they? They have ALL of the necessities listed...probably for at least 3x the original cost..

Luckily, I found them on Walmart (3rd party seller, but I trusted them a weeeee bit more than the eBay peeps).

Thanks for the search.
