wont someone please think of the lost revenue?!?



these people are probably the usual small-business tyrant, so I'm not going to hold them up as paragons, but what they are saying really is a problem that the area has to grapple with. the lake is in the middle of broke rural missouri so most places are based around banking enough tourist money in the summer to last through til next season, so all this is hitting at exactly the worst time. they look to be just a normal restaurant, not one of the gross pool party type of place that all the videos came from and that pull quote reads like they are saying that places like that are going to cause the virus to continue to spread and ruin it for everyone.

it even seems like they were taking it more seriously than others:

quote:

Governor Parson's order to close non-essential businesses affected the town drastically. The restaurants and bars the Bagnell Dam Strip is known for shut their doors.

Some businesses, like Blondie's Burger Bar, didn't wait for a state order.

“We were actually the first bar to shut down on the strip, the first restaurant and we’re struggling a little," Larry Giamba said. Larry and his wife Vicki own Blondie's Burger Bar.

no idea if they are still trying to be responsible, but really it comes down to the same problem that has been pointed out 1000s of times that the government has refused to do anything to help so good options are running out

I loved how the Bernie bucks made both alt right capitalism cheerleaders and small business tyrants have big meltdowns.

We can't force out hourly workers back into a dangerous working environment like a grocery store or hair salon?

Why did Bernie block us from sacrificing more lives to make our shareholder value better this year?

Combine everything he said with the almost 100% certainty November will break any institutional legitimacy US elections has left.

The only way the election can maintain legitimacy is if every registered voter is sent an absentee ballot and lol that’s not going to happen. Red states are going to purge the voter rolls and force people to vote in person. They’re gonna toss ballots in the woodchipper. And if Trump does lose somehow, the chuds have gone so far off the deep end that they won’t accept that result. They’re the same people that blame the refs every time their lovely pro sports team loses.

Yeah I would expect states with a more rural population distribution are probably going to slowly decline even after re-opening. Although the Dakotas both just jumped >50% week-to-week, so maybe I'm totally wrong.

yes, I know a couple of small business owners (one still operating as essential, one shut down) and this is a huge point of contention: we're out of good options, and nobody wants to be the one to suggest a bad option, even if it's the *least bad* of your available options

you need to look at the numbers from last year to see if they are fudging things by calling most of the roni, pneumonia
I've tried but it's hard to parse the data between pneumonia and flu/pneumonia mortality numbers due to extremely common comorbidity (except this year lol). Here's a report from Texas where they list 1,437 pneumonia deaths in 2016. They're up to 4,622 in less than 4 months this year.

Worth remembering sometimes that population density is just a proxy for the amount of interactions per person, per day. If a culture is relatively ubiquitous it can work, but if there are significant cultural differences in the way people interact with each other then you can't really use population density between two groups as your proxy.

It's the hypothetical of who has a higher infection transmission rate, 6 old ladies who have bridge every Wednesday and talk constantly, or 50 goons who only go to the grocery store once a month?

So um. Lately I've been having short term memory issues that bug the hell out of me. It's not a new thing, but it's happening more, and I get more and more irritated lately by it to the point of ruining my day over trying to get myself back on track. I have OCD so I just can't handle it when it happens. Bad insomnia and fatigue lately too, from racing thoughts and nightmares.

Today I think I figured out why my health's going downhill in so many ways. I weighed myself at 124lbs today. I'm a man. I lost 7 pounds in exactly a month. I'm malnourished now, cool. I guess I can't make my own food for poo poo. Before this I ate out a lot, but I've been locked down since March 6th to a much greater extent than everyone I've heard of. One grocery trip per month, hermetically sealed in one place otherwise. So yeah, weigh yourselves, folks. And make food more often even if it means not making a big skilled production out of it.

If locking yourself in your house is ruining your health, consider going out and doing some exercise that you can do away from people. Get some takeout food (wear a mask, use hand sanitizer). This idea that if we step outside our doors we're gonna die just isn't true. Just be smart about it IMO.
