Everyone is opening because states are all facing imminent bankruptcy because now all the sudden money printer broke and federal government will help it's constituent states "over my dead body". It's going to be loving awesome by the end of this week when everyone figures out oh hey opening up doesn't mean poo poo because 50% of the workforce evaporated and the majority of Americans are scared to death to leave their beanholes.

Really gotta hand it to the stable genius that he has resisted the fastest route to opening back up (having literally any federal response or plan) with such conviction.

This is the latest culture war nonsense, where one side decides that doing a good thing like wearing a mask to curb the spread is not only important, but makes you a moral good person and you should not express any discontent with the situation, while the other side reacts to that with a "gently caress you i won't do what you tell me!" refusal to do the thing that is necessary but uncomfortable.

so much of this bullshit would be unnecessary if we had an actual govt. in south korea they have coffee shops open. in germany they pay people to stay home.

Wife's rapid test came back negative, which apparently doesn't mean much, since it wouldn't likely be positive until she'd had a few weeks to fight the infection?

They did the nose qtip, which I understand to be the slower, molecular test for active infection. Not sure when we get results on that. Seems like she definitely has it though, or close enough to make little difference at this point

We can't waste 5,000$ in water and manhours to fight this "Fire." This is an over reaction by the money hungry fire department demanding huge pork budgets and kickbacks. This is just some smoke. Could be steam from AMERICAN BARBECUE. Smart analysts tell me this is plausible. To prevent the situation from getting worse I have arrested 47 local minorities, for some reason.



This "fire" if that's what you want to call it (I've had bigger in my kitchen!) is only affecting 1% of the house. Overpaid fire department wasting it's time. Cure can not be worse than the disease. These taxpayers/homeowners will be prevented from entering their OWN PROPERTY. WE MUST LET FREEDOM BE FREE.



The worst of the fire is over. It is a fire. I always called it a fire. I called it a fire from the start. Nevertheless we have battled the infrared enemy. Much less of the house left to burn now. Worst is over. I applaud the homeowner for daring to watch American Idol in their living room. We must re-populate this house. BRAVE!!
