I'm in TX, aside from some places being closed I've literally not changed a single thing. Well, I dont touch gas pump or card reader with bare fingers, but otherwise its business as usual with slightly less traffic. And I'm in pretty big suburb north of DFW.
I live in San Antonio. Downtown is a fucking ghost town. And by 8-9 pm All Is Quiet on the Western Front. You also have people on the SA sub-Reddit telling people to stay the fuck home. I'm shocked by some of the authoritarian stances that many Texans are taking. It's antithetical to the Texas spirit.
All of the Texas sub-reddits I've been to are embarassing. They are mainly whining sites because they need to report someone going outside or "how is this business essential?" I quit visiting them and Reddit entirely because it was just pissing me off what people have become.
It's go time. Remove every D Governor. They're mass murdering tyrants. Legal remedy? If not, torches and pitchforks.
Had everyone who tested positive been given Trump pills ASAP they'd all be virus-free by now. We had 9 million donated to US, enough to beat it then. Another 31 million were just donated to US. If we allow these mass murdering tyrants to continue to hoard them all, our number of infected will again quadruple in a week and again we won't have enough.
20,000 more of our Countrymen were infected in a DAY. Waiting is now the wrong thing for us to do.
I've got 4 kids and between no school and no events, we're going bonkers. They've already gotten way too much sun. My normally fair skinned oldest daughter is looking like Elizabeth Warren's people.
I think the measures Trump is employing will be effective. They’re designed to get ahead of the spread, which means by necessity somewhat heavy-handed and aggressive compared to the current spread. Effective treatments will become more wide-spread. Supply will catch up to demand.
I think we’ll be seeing light in a month, and by 2 (3 max) it will be normalizing.
How do you suppose our economy will restart in another "month or two?" Look how many will never be able to reopen their businesses already, just in our membership. Look how many have been fired outright. Look how many companies will fire almost all their employees before 4/30.
How many companies won't be able to operate on 5/1, even though they make no official announcement? When they do reopen, it'll be on a greatly reduced scale.
This is a planned destruction. We could have this infection mostly beat by now had infected people been given medicine asap.
illegals and illmigrant communities that don't respect our legal system (not naming names) are going to continue to harbor the disease leading to re-infection as soon as the shutdown is lifted.
All those "infection curves" say one thing....the area under the curves are nearly the same. The same number of people would have died under each scenario, But now we have unemployment, hunger and depression to add to it.
All the models say the exact opposite. Without doing anything the deaths are 20x higher. Because if we manage the flow of infected into the hospitals reasonably 95% will live. And we buy time for a vaccine and treatments.
Yes, it’ll still be around, especially in low SES, criminal, high population (Democrat, to sum it up) groups. Did I say it would go away? This thing has metastasized. But the aggressive measures needed to prevent widespread deaths will no long be needed as treatment, medical infrastructure, and prevention mechanisms catch up.
As for the rest, do you not believe Trump when he says that the economy will boom once this is behind us? He’s been right so far. I don’t have a reason not to trust his judgment.
If there is some sort of debt holiday it will create the largest boom in history, but if every cent of rent, every C-19 medical procedure, every mortgage payment stays as a rock around the neck of the working class, it will be a shitshow.
In Sumeria a new ruler would issue a debt jubilee, or in times of war or famine they would do the same. They realized that turning society into a bunch of slaves is not a way to preserve it.
I'm no socialist. I just realize that a banking class has taken money that was not earned or saved, just created out of thin air, is being used to buy up real assets that are being rented back to us.
Remember when the government still has no legal authority to prevent you from leaving your home, and it's totally unconstitutional for them to threaten to fine and/or arrest people for being on public property?
Gas pump attendant here. I'm considered "essential" right now... and honestly it's probably the best way to get gas right now. During one of my shifts, I'm often the only hand that touches those pumps. Plus, I'm cleaning them off with bleach and/or Lysol periodically anyway. Regular gas stations are absolutely going to be cesspools of viral contaminant, but a full service station IF YOU HAVE ONE might be one of the safer places you could go!

Any subreddit, no matter the location/state of discussion, is liberal as hell. You won't find every day people there.
If anything it's worse for traditionally conservative states because "small blue dot" liberals need a place to bitch.
I still do.
Medical marshal law....communism without every firing a shot.
Nice. It sucks thst this is happening- but that's a nice way to say it.

Yesterday morning was 2 weeks.
New order is another 30 days.
It's go time. Remove every D Governor. They're mass murdering tyrants. Legal remedy? If not, torches and pitchforks.

And I refuse to plop them in front of the TV.
And in a month or two when it dies down, all that will return. It’ll be fine.
Just curious, what do you think is going to cause it to die down?

That's totally wrong and fear-mongering.

RemindMe! 6 months
Good! A lot of us in this Country can't.

Technically you're right. But most Americans are conditioned not to take the chance or risk getting fined or jailed.

HAHA! After leaving NJ 33 years ago, I can honestly say I never thought that I would think, "Wow, I wish I had someone to pump my gas for me".

Thought I would never see this in OR
That's crazy! I still maintain it's much safer to just let the attendant do it.
Lucky I can telecommute for my job and cut my own hair. I'm anti-social anyway, so not really missing any of this stuff.
