They are probably in more risk going home.
But, I would be concerned about the older folks running the hotels and bars.
None of them are coming to my house after...so, one way or the other it doesn’t much matter.
‘This virus ain’t that serious’
They get it how the media is just spreading scaremongering the numbers prove it.So far over 20,000 have died of the flu thousands more than the corona BS.
The media is having a wet dream about all the panic they spread to the low informed.
Report much appreciated, glad your trip went well. Have been looking for an excuse to visit HI, bet it will be cheap(er) in a year or so.
“I do suspect that local vacations and camping will be the “Big Thing” this summer.”
Perhaps in late spring/early summer, am already contemplating the latter with the kids soon, but by the time the “Trump checks” (watch Big Media avoid that phrase) arrive, I think a lot of people are going to be eager to travel again.
Disney will be eager to open, too, at perhaps less than a hundred a ticket. :-)
Good for them. Party hardy.
Ignoring all the warnings about how the virus is transmitted and taking every step possible to ensure they are able to pass the virus to parents, grandparents, and any elderly person they come in contact with is indeed stupid.
The more time that goes by, the more this whole crisis has an "Emily Litella" feel to it.
I go to Hawaii about 3 times per year. Lately they have really been into hating whitey...
Pretty soon they be beggin for whitey to come back...
Regardless of how they come across, chances are they are right. We are destroying our economy over a bad case of the flu
Sling their butts on a leaky raft.
I repeat, it's only marginally worse than the flu. Should human contact be avoided to about the same degree since the flu could transmitted to parents, grandparents, etc. in the same way?
i look at these death totals..both here and world wide, and get a bad, sinking feeling....too destroy the economies for this?...i dunnno...
No virus is gonna deny shakin’ dat azz,boozin’ up and getting highed up!
The infection is not going to run through the population and vanish in three weeks.
Right? I used to think college tuition was too high. This behavior shows it is not high enough.
I’ll give it a couple weeks.
After that I am willing to take my chances.
Keep elderly with compromised immune system away from the
general population. Continue to quarantine infected.
Not interested in being under house arrest after the 2 weeks.
Then my original statement stands.
>>>“If I get corona, I get corona,” Brady Sluder, a defiant party animal of indeterminate age from Ohio, told Reuters<<<
Way to go, tough guy. Go for it!
The media has done a good job of creating a state of semi-panic among the population. Hard to keep your head when everyone around you has been whipped into a frenzy.
Thinning the herd?
“Hey Bubba, hold my (Corona) beer and watch this!”
Is there a “Class Action” category for the Darwin Awards?
There are far too many unknowns about the virus. What if these kids never encountered someone with the virus, then mingled with each other at the beaches and bars, and went back home.
Maybe few will get it. If they do, they could infect oldsters.
Wonder if some are born immune? 1) oddly some people can smoke for decades and have no problems (George Burns and others). Others go quickly into lung cancer or emphysema in their forties and die. Has to be in the genes at conception.
As a co-worker said comparing dementia victims to cheerful and active normal people in their 80-100: “It’s not their secrets of healthy lifestyles-—it was in their genes.”
2) New Age Dr.Deepak Chopra wrote that studies and articles often say 81% who got X disease in Africa died. Or X% of malaria victims in the building of the Panama Canal died. But they never study the ones who didn’t die and what was there about them that let them survive? That would be useful to us all.”(from memory, not a quote).
Recently they said blood type A gets it worse. Those with current high blood pressure when they contacted it got it worse. That kind of thing could lead to better outcomes someday.
