Been on the two week bandwagon.
So that puts it about within your window. -
When did Betty get replaced by Karen? Nancy seems like a good one too.Fire_Marshall_Bill said:I'm saying sometime between April 5th and 10th, they say fuck it. A lot of people are losing a ton of money. They're sick of fighting with white trash and ghetto hoarders for toilet paper, paper towels, or steaks (I know I am) or seeing Karens tell them how bad it is on social media.

I went to Seattle two weeks ago Sunday through Wednesday. My VA county closed schools the next day (Thursday). Yesterday school was cancelled for the year across VA and they shut non-essential businesses for 30 days.
With what we know now about the local caseload here and the caseload in Seattle I would not have an issue flying there and having the same meetings this week. Nothing is orders of magnitude riskier than it was 2 weeks ago.
At first I thought the county closing schools was an overreaction, but it appears to have been the right decision to close that early on. I don't agree with killing the entire year, especially when school goes until early June.
I'm happy to socially distance for a month to keep people from dying, but once you get past that I think you start to wonder what the point is. Especially if it makes you broke. It turns into a "what's the meaning of life" analysis pretty quick, and those at risk of dying got to enjoy their best years pandemic and economic depression free, which those of us in our best years lose those to a quarantine and subsequent depression which allows those at risk of dying to not die for a couple more years.
There is an inherent risk of bad stuff happening every single day. Cowering in a cave for a year doesn't remove all risk anyway.
Sure would be nice if we had sufficient testing, cleaning supplies and a system to quarantine and track those who are infected. Plus more medical capacity. -

Its the lack of discussion or public input and the speed of the destruction of the economy that concerns me most
They did it this time they will do it again.

The big takeaway from all this is how utterly unprepared we are as a country to effectively deal with pandemic scares. Whether it's Pearl Harbor, 9/11, or COVID-19 we? always seem to get caught with our pants down. Hopefully, our bonehead pols learn the necessary lessons. I won't hold my breath.whlinder said:I went to Seattle two weeks ago Sunday through Wednesday. My VA county closed schools the next day (Thursday).

Part of that is our alleged free society. Leaders knew Hitler was going to be trouble when he got his reads down but most Americans didn't care until the Germans bombed Pearl HarborYellowSnow said:

The angry Jihadi was a Hollywood staple since the 70's until they actually hit a big shot then we couldn't call them terrorists anymore. We knew after Trade Tower 1 they were serious but we weren't.
The other part is crisis fatigue. Everything is the end. So nothing is -
What makes me angry is that we toss billions and billions of dollars at government agencies every year who's job is to plan and prepare for just this kind of event and they fuck it up. This is why you constitute a Federal Government.YellowSnow said:
