On the other hand, though: This is such fucking bullshit!!!

There will be no funeral ceremonies or visitations in New York state because of Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s executive order Friday that bans all gatherings during the coronavirus shutdown.
Bodies will continue to be buried or cremated, but funeral services for relatives and other mourners must take place later, said Mike Lanotte, executive director and CEO of the NYS Funeral Directors Association.
Even families will not be permitted to attend services, Lanotte said.
I visited Russia back in the 70s for about a week (part of a college student-exchange thing).
Streets of Moscow basically deserted, few shops, no billboards, etc.
Only people on the street were:
- on the trolleys going to-from work (with not a word spoken when the thing broke down for about 20 minutes)
- shopping at the beet-potatoes-and-cabbage store, the bakery bread line, etc.
- babushka-ladies street sweeping, an occasional soldier
Is any of this beginning to sound familiar?
Sorry for your loss. Prayers up.
I feel so bad for you.
Democrats have always dreamed of this level of financial destruction and a reboot into socialism.
How is this not a police state policy? Why is there no citizen outrage? Is it because we think of ourselves as serfs and subjects eager to obey the next insane order from our rulers?
So, so sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you.
I give it two to four weeks.
Predictions are for fools but I will play the fool and make a prediction.
I predict that the numbers on new cases have “plateau” and with the discovery of drugs that will if not cure at least help patients. With this announcement everyone will be free to return to their normal life.
Meanwhile borders will remained locked down for awhile longer.
A long term prediction is that our dependency on China for much of our good will come to an end.
The southern border wall will be built even faster.
So sorry for your loss.
Dear God. I am so terribly sorry for your loss..and for the further pain hoisted upon you with this regulation. May God bless you.
Thank you everybody for your kind thoughts. It’s like a police state, I just want closure, don’t know if I will get it.
This needs to be repeated over and over again! What's happening now is that millions are being forced to be unemployed. This will cause a recession and untold misery. The solution is NOT for the government to pay peoples' bills and send everyone money. That will lead to 3 trillion more in the deficit.
Millions of people are forced to sit at home and produce nothing. The country sorely needs everyone to be productive. Unemployment funds will be negative and go way below negative.
A$$holes in government put people out of work. This will cause very serious problems - economic disruption, and sending everyone a check will make it worse.
And that includes some Republicans.
CONSPIRACY THEORY:
The whole thing is a test run by the Deep State to see how tightly they can control the population, and for how long.
OMG!! PRAYERS!!!
Condolences and prayers for you and your family.
Prayers.
Now people can see first hand what socialism is really like. Bare shelves at the Piggly Wiggly, no jobs, and an overrun health care system. See if this is what they still want.
God love you sir. You are in my prayers.
