Quoted from jasonp:

Im so tired of hearing
We are all in this together, During these difficult times and Stay Safe.... Before some big ass company asks you to buy their cheap ass china made crap ... ( Rant Over )

Last night I got fed up with local broadcasting (I don't watch enough TV to justify cable) and switched over to Netflix for the same reason. Yes it's good to have support and reassurance and hearing about people doing good things but I don't need to hear it EVERY commercial break.

First time they showed inner cities banging on pots and pans and everyone standing on patios talking to each other I thought that was neat. But when it's in every news segment for 4 weeks in a row it gets easy to change the channel again.

WOW, now there's a cool story for the grandkids

The cool story my ex wife told was Ford hit a golf ball during the Hope Classic which hit a spectator on the wrist requiring medical attention. After President Ford spoke to her I said to him, Hello Mr. President. He looked at me and said, "Hi James, how's the game". I responded, "Still better than yours sir". Everyone laughed that was near us. My ex had quite a look on her face.

How do generic cheese puffs (or cheesy poofs) compare to Cheetos? I've only had Cheetos when watching sports.

Today felt like the day where things just reactivated, regardless of whether it makes sense or not. Kind of like the opposite of that day in March where things just shut down quickly after Tom Hanks got it and they cancelled the NCAA tourney. I really can't tell what's going to happen honestly. Most people aren't wearing masks around here, and the general vibe I get from everyone is that it's over and it's nothing to worry about anymore. Heck back in Nebraska I saw they're still going to play legion baseball despite them being one of the states still accelerating.

I do not go to the store anymore than I have to.

But when I do, if you do not keep at least 6 feet away from me, I will give you a evil stare, and if I have to sneeze, it will be aimed at you.

What? I have had Netflix in my house since 2008. I have never seen a commercial. I am staring to run into a lot of commercials on You Tube, but not Netflix. Are you sure you are talking about Netflix and not something else?

I get your point, but good luck getting to the truth when dealing with China.

Totally understand what you're saying .
China has agreed to an investigation and the US has supported it as well .
It's in China's best interests to get to the bottom of this , as this crisis is bad for business .
As everyone's economies are interlinked more than ever , something like this is bad for everyone .
Time will tell whether an investigation is a waste of time or not .

Heres some unsettling stats

USA has less then 5% of the world's population and 30% of the covid cases.

36 million Americans are out of work

Highest unemployment since the great depression

Fed chair said last week. 40% of households making less then $40k a year lost a job in march

My wife got herself a new hat. I call it her "social distancing hat" because no one would want to get close to someone with it on.

Quoted from BobSacamano:

You're going to be seeing a lot of these headlines:
Man who called coronavirus ‘fake crisis’ gets infected, wife in critical condition

from the article:

Brian Hitchens said was a self-proclaimed COVID-19 skeptic about a month ago, WPTV reported.

“I thought it was maybe the government trying something, and it was kind of like they threw it out there to kinda distract us,” said Hitchens.

On Facebook, Hitchens said he believed the pandemic was “blown out of proportion” and said he was putting his faith in God.

“I’d get up in the morning and pray and trust in God for his protection, and I’d just leave it at that. There were all these masks and gloves. I thought it looks like a hysteria,” Hitchens explained.

Now, Hitchens and his wife are in the hospital after contracting the virus.

“I don’t want to see anyone go through what I went through,” Hitchens said. “This wasn’t some scare tactic that anybody was using. It wasn’t some made-up thing. This was a real virus you gotta take seriously.”

While we’re on the subject, I’m surprised no one has commented on the President saying he has been taking Hydroxychloroquine for almost two weeks as a preventative for COVID-19.

This is troubling on a few fronts.

First, we still don’t know if Hydroxychloroquine actually works to treat or prevent COVID-19 and the data we do have are mixed at best.

Secondly, the President is overweight and has known high cholesterol so he could be at higher risk for cardiac issues and thus Hydroxychloroquine could have risks for him.

Third, as a physician I am forced to wonder what the President’s doctor is thinking here. He is placing his patient on a medication with risks and without proven benefit. He also is putting the rest of the country’s physicians in a position to have to field more questions and demands from patients for “preventative” Hydroxychloroquine when that isn’t even an approved use of the medication.

I don't think he's taking it. He's saying that because there's been backlash, and it's his very mature way of pushing back.

I switch away from TV (commercials) to Netflix (no commercials) to get away from said commercials that the person I had quoted was complaining about and I was agreeing on the same thing.

Same around here. Last week, few people out walking together and if they were, they wore masks or walked one on sidewalk one in the street for distancing. Yesterday saw many many people pushing strollers next to each other on sidewalk, no masks, giving hugs as they separated. The playgrounds are to be opened soon, but people took the initiative and have torn down the police tape. Lots of laughing playing children...I worry about them.

I am witnessing a serious “the war is over and we won” vibe. Makes me very concerned for 6-10 weeks from now.
