The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.

I go once a week to the market. I wear a mask, hat and old clothes. When I return I go to a “wash area” we have set up where I take off my clothes and they go into a bag plastic bag. I then immediately take a hot shower. The clothes and the towels I used in the bathroom are washed immediately in the washing machine in hot water, then drier heated. The grocery packages to the extent possible are wiped with a disinfectant and a bleach solution. I also clean off the car handles, steering wheel and anywhere else touched with disinfectant and bleach, and then proceed to also clean the doorknobs where I came in.
This is our normal procedure now.

Does somebody in your household have a serious underlying health condition? If not, you are living in utter FEAR.
If you are “owed an explanation” you need to understand models better.
You can model things where the relevant variables are known. In this case, they were not and are not known.
For example: China extensively decontaminated Wuhan City for a month while welding people into their homes.
Are Manhattan and Brooklyn going to be inhabitable in the Fall? Please model it.
OK, what’s your model based on?
Nothing, that’s what. GIGO.
What church are you affiliated with? And is that your main profession or a sideline?

No one I know who studies the economy thinks we will avoid a Great Depression and we could be facing a full-on economic collapse...
And if we reopen too early the economy will collapse anyway as the deaths pile up. I really hope we can reopen everything at the beginning of May without that happening. But I have my doubts and will not be going out except for groceries until the medical experts agree that we have passed our peak.
“You don’t know anyone who has died from this yet?”
-
Nope.
I don’t know anyone who has died from it.
I don’t know anyone who has gotten hospitalized from it.
I don’t know anyone who has been quarantined with it.
I don’t know anyone who has been diagnosed with it.
I don’t even know anyone who has been tested for it.
And like Chicken Little and the Boy Who Cried Wolf, when something real comes -- because of this farce -- no one will listen.
There are people who should be held accountable...
President Trump GREW this economy to the strongest it's ever been before this happened. He continues to say we're going to bounce back faster than what anyone thinks.
It's not like we were in the great depression before. We had full record employment and jobs were coming back to the US. When this is over even MORE jobs will be coming back. Heck they already are. We're now making medical supplies here that were made overseas before. It might be a different economy but it's going to be strong economy.
Scott Adams said the other day....what would be the effect of everyone but essential workers taking a 2 month vacation at the same time?
I think our country can survive that scenario cause that's essentially what it is.
What BS? Do you have a handy quote? Or are you just a parrot?
It is important to remember that our ancestors fought the revolutionary war while smallpox was running through.
Now we shut down all they fought and died for...... and for what? This nothing burger?
We should be ashamed of ourselves.
Now the people who are stuck figuring what to do are getting second guessed by people who could not deal with this at all. It is really hypocritical for Rush and others to say they trust the President and his decisions, while distrusting nearly everyone he trusts to deal with this.
This is all about trade-offs. No one wants anyone to die of the virus, but already huge chunks of people can’t pay their rent and can’t buy food. Did you see the one-mile long swath of cars in line for food at a food bank in Pittsburgh a few days ago? Some are estimating that the $2 Trillion bail-out passed by Congress will keep the country going for a few weeks. If the country doesn’t get back to work soon the virus is going to be the least of the problems most people in the country will face....
Calling out your flubros on the flubro threads? Classy move, retard.
“McGee is over here:

Signaling to everyone that he’s been on the payroll of the Chinese.”
Well, if nobody you know has been tested for it that might explain why nobody you know has been diagnosed with it. As it happens my brother knows someone who has it. It’s not just a flu.
IMHE modelers should be wearing hats with stars and crescent moons on them.
when something real comes
You mean like the 460,000 CV cases and 16,000 deaths we have so far? Take a look at these graphs. Does that exponential curve appear flat yet?

I agree. The idiot spring breakers and corona partiers should be held accountable, preferably by community service at a NYC hospital without PPE.

I go several times a week to the grocery and hardware store.
I have never worn a mask.
I do not do anything any differently now than I have ever done,
except the places I would normally go to are closed due to the panic.
I refuse to live my life in fear.
I know people who have died from it.
I know people who have been exposed to it.
I know people who are in quarantine because of it.
OK, Buttinski.
