I cannot fathom a football season this year.....Looks like a Mayday out there....
Not a doomsdayer, but damn I’d like some positive news...there was nothing good to report....
This stuff is out of control....Fake news? Really don’t think so....Hope this plays out well.....
 
Until there is a vaccine this is how it will be.I agree, scary stuff and its out of control.And to go out and about you would think nothing is wrong.People not wearing masks,food workers not wearing masks etc.Its not looking good.

I walked into a restaurant the other day figured I grab something for dinner since my wife was down visiting our daughter in Va.
Everyone in the place was mask less, and looking at me weird because I had mine on. I asked the hostess why none of the staff had on a mask. Turns out she & her husband owned it. She got rather upset and said we own this place so we don’t have to. I replied not here to argue with you, nor am I here to get sick. Turned around and left.

Where was the restaurant located?

At first I was not going to wear a mask if everyone else did. Now I wear a mask if it helps one one million or whatever good I want to be part of the solution not the problem.

Mah freedum. We don't wear pussy masks in 'merica.
 
I shake my head about the lack of mask wearing. Still. I do the same thing, I always have a mask on when I go into an establishment and in restuarants just for takeout, I just shake my head.

And kids, the Casino, Kennywood and Sandcastle opens up today.

I am just not getting the mixed messages and lack of leadership (folks from both sides of the aisle here) on this virus. We can't come together for anything. The discord is so bad, China and Russia have to be licking their chops because we cannot win a war anymore with our divisiveness and hatred of each other.

I live in McLean Va right on the North Arlington boarder. The most woke area of America. Well at our local field they have summer lacrosse camp. So you have a group of twenty something club lacrosse coaches interacting with 15 and under kids. Fair fax county has the highest cov19 and Arlington is second. Where is governor black face? Where are the leaders to the People’s Republic’s of Fairfax and Arlington. Why was a permit granted?

You are a bigot.

Look at how you hate people you don’t even know. Add that to the others who wholeheartedly support this type of deep seeded violent hatred. Your words and those who arrogantly agree with you show clearly how Jews were able to be sent to concentration camps, the KKK was able to lynch black people, Margaret Sanger was able to set forth a plan to kill certain races of babies, Soviet citizens were sent to gulags and many other groups were harmed in the name of a better society.

I think he was being sarcastic.

A similar (non-mask) experience occurred in a certain restaurant in Mt. Lebanon. Here's the story:

Patience Yinzer. I have it on good authority that one day it will disappear, like a miracle.
"Poof"...that's the sound it will make. It will just go away. This - according to the smartest man in the world. We're so lucky to have someone of his unmatched, dare I say 'unrivaled' brilliance , leading us.

He was speaking in jest surely, but only in reference to people who actually like America and like freedom. In this manner:
Before you go there look at my post above about the Arlington McLean lacrosse camp. I live in probably the most over educated area of people who went to the most elite universities. Look at my post above. And then tell me about smart people and their maps etc.

What does that have to do with that specific post being sarcastic and having deep hate for those you disagree with?
 
I get tension are high. What happens if one of his employees get sick and infects others and someone dies? When the owner gets sued for all he is worth then maybe he will wished they wore masks. It is simple risk management

This is the microcosm of the problem. My heart goes out to parents of children with special needs. I don’t know what the right answer is but a lawsuit?

Exactly. One wonders whether his insurance carrier has any official policy about this...?

Too many people have lost their feelings of selflessness - assuming that they had any feelings of selflessness in the first place.

It's scary knowing that anyone can be a carrier, yet be completely asymptomatic. And the matter of testing only means so much; if someone brags that "(they) tested negative a week ago", it's entirely possible that they may have been exposed within the past week, making that negative test result meaningless.

Won’t happen. Sanctimony is his calling card.
I surely provide evidence for my thinking, while you only provide platitudes that you feel will ingratiate you with those who you want to supply support to your thinking.

Would you not turn on your values in a second if it meant keeping your job or your house or something else of your comfort?

Nobody is wearing masks outdoors. At youth sports, none of the coaches and none of the fans. Last night, there was 1 older guy wearing a mask out of about 100 people there. That said, I think the virus is pretty hard to get in an outside environment.

Why would you go in a crowd at all? If you save one person, isn't that reason to avoid it all together?

Still doesn’t mean you’re not sanctimonious. And I couldn’t care less about ingratiating with anyone on this board. Don’t know anyone here and probably never will.

How am I sanctimonious? Provide specifics.

Your words say you care. Also, you are more concerned about making judgement on me personally than on the words I say.

Maybe you should worry more about assessing yourself than making judgement on me?

small chance getting it outside. i'm not saying post up with guys on the basketball court for an hour. but kids have started playing SOME sports under certain conditions. my son had soccer practice last night. as long as you aren't breathing on each other for 10 minutes, you're fine. outside of the old folks homes, prisons, and meat packing plants, bars and restaurants are your biggest culprits.

you can't lock down kids in the house until this is over. maryland is doing well so it's allowable. i wouldn't be doing it in florida right now, though. we made our necessary sacrifices starting in march and now we're reaping the dividends. too bad other states couldn't think further than 2 seconds ahead. now they're screwed.

There is one variable that I was trying to point out and that is the twenty something coaches. I get the father and mother coaches and I don’t want to shelter kids in house exercise is important. But twenty somethings are a higher risk carrier.

Coaching a little league game is not going into a "crowd". Parents were all distancing, kids were not permitted to use the dugouts, and a few of the older folks that were there had masks. Beyond that, it's kind of hard to panic when the mortality rate is next to nothing unless you're old or sick.

But hey, it doesn't matter anyway - we were out in an organized, peaceful protest against obesity, heart disease, and diabetes so everything is cool!
