earthquakes, hurricanes, tornados, floods, drunks... and this stops you?

It's just the flu, bro!™

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

The false positive rate was 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

If a quarantine saves just one child's or one old fart’s life, it's worth it.

They forgot Dogs and Cats Living Together.

Closing Waffle House should prevent many murders, though.

Y’all can joke about this, but consider that this condition is symptomatic of closures occurring all over America, and imagine the employees who are out of work. How are they coping?

They used to go to Waffle House to commiserate...

Put them in a paper bag and give them to the customer. PERIOD.

Smothered and covered needs more that a paper bag.

I’ve eaten there once, many years ago. Never again. I’ll make my own waffles without the cigarette ash.

It’s gonna be different in every State. By Easter, NY may be on the decline while the flyover States won’t have hit their peak yet.

"Waffle House index" - I'm guessing it'll hold true for the pandemic.

If Waffle House wants to save an industry and re-open stores - here's the way: take the temps of every person wanting to enter the restaurant - and only allow those without a temp to enter.

People with a temp can order takeout and the food will be brought to their car.

This system allows people to feel safe eating at a Waffle House AND it safe guards employees AND it sends the message that we can and will develop a sane 'new normal' that allows us to resume our lives... and eat out as a free people - - when and where we want to...

What’s your point? Are you the thread monitor that decides what comments can be made, and which can’t?

Can’t we all just get along????
Come on, sing it with me...
Annah one, annah two, annah....
I’d like to buy the world a home and furnish it with love,
Grow apple trees and honey bees, and snow white turtle doves.....
It’s the real thing, Coke is what the world wants today....

I don’t think Easter sounds feasible at all.
= = = = = = = = = =
Rescind the ‘State of Emergency’ and CUT off the money and we will see how quickly things get back to normal.

IF the Fed is ‘paying for victims’ how do you expect anything but a rise in ‘victims’?

‘OUR’ best ‘hope is that the # of victims skyrocket and the # of deaths drop (lower than they already are) AND keep specifying ‘other symptoms present’ and people may finally wake up.

What is solved if YOU are forced to ‘stay in’ while STRANGERS can cook and STRANGERS can deliver food to your home....

I realize it cuts down the ‘close contact’ does the driver (AFTER SHOWING A NEGATIVE READING) sit in his car and a ‘messenger’ brings it from the kitchen to his car and when he arrives at the home just set it in the driveway?

Want to ‘play the game’, must play it full bore.

BTW, I use ‘him’ as a broad brush identifier, don’t feel like copying all the ‘known’ genders...<: <: <:

FOLLOW THE MONEY

You are CORRECT! Even the dangerous Chinese Bat Soup Flu cannot compare to the danger from governments over the centuries.
