HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHADon't know about you but when I sow my wild oats I always pray for a crop failure.
Is Dio sponge worthy?
I'll leave now.
Oh, I might have been to a show or five.I can't tell if you are being funny or serious. But I would go. I love them.
Oh good.Oh, I might have been to a show or five.
No problem. Look up Harvey on YouTube and you'll see what I'm talking about.Shoot, I just saw this, Char! Yes, you nailed it -- it was Tim he was chained to. I don't remember the lady skit, but I bet I'd recognize it immediately if I saw it again.
So many good laughs.
A devastated economy will be just as bad, if not worse, then the virus. All these business closing, stay-at-home decrees, and social distancing is meant to do is flatten the curve. We’ll all get it eventually. These draconian measures are being put in place so the health care system doesn’t need to deal with a spike in medical needs from COVID-19. The government just wants to make it that the health care profession deal with it in a more drawn and consistent form.
If I could conquer and take over the tri-state area, I’ll decree:
- Everyone over 60, has a compromised immune system, or has respiratory problems... stay home until further notice.
- Everyone who can work remotely from home... do so.
- Businesses can stay open if they can ensure employees can maintain a 6 foot distance from each other. In addition, employers are required to provide N95 masks, gloves, and hand sanitizers to employees who work on site. All businesses, including eating establishments, can remain open as long as the establishment ensures customers maintain a distance of 6 feet or more.
- Gatherings of over 20 people in close proximity is prohibited.
- Anyone needing testing for COVID-19 will have it provided free of charge dependent upon the following: If you test positive and when you recover, you are required to give blood within 2 weeks so that your plasma (now containing anti-bodies against COVID-19) can be used to treat others.
- Practice social distancing.
Those measures will also accomplish a flattened curve and avoiding the dreaded spike. If we continue doing what is now being done and just open everything up at some point you will once again see a tremendous spike in medical needs.
Or not.
Out of all your points I think the fifth bullet point makes the most sense, but giving blood should be voluntary, not mandatoryA devastated economy will be just as bad, if not worse, then the virus.

Dio, Dio, Dio ... if we are all eventually going to get this virus, as you say, then how come China, using extreme methods, hasn't had a new case in nearly a week?A devastated economy will be just as bad, if not worse, then the virus.

But how can you enforce any of this?Out of all your points I think the fifth bullet point makes the most sense, but giving blood should be voluntary, not mandatory
In Canada they are asking people to come forward to donate blood to Canadian Blood Services but it's up to the individual plus they have a pretty stringent screening process.But how can you enforce any of this?
You don't have to give blood in order to save others, but if you don't you pay for the testing yourself.Out of all your points I think the fifth bullet point makes the most sense, but giving blood should be voluntary, not mandatory
You believe what China says?Dio, Dio, Dio ... if we are all eventually going to get this virus, as you say, then how come China, using extreme methods, hasn't had a new case in nearly a week?
The US isn't doing enough, they need a complete lockdown, even martial law. Just use China as an example, they cordened off the areas in which those infected and were able to stop it. To say that a bad economy is just as bad as victims of this virus is just complete nonsense, that is a very meterialistic, Capitalist approach to things, MONEY AIN'T MORE IMPORTANT THAN PEOPLE! Kurben summed this up pretty well.
We've recovered from bad economies that are even worse than it is now so that is certainly not worse. Getting a handle on the spread of the virus should be the first priority. The problem with some of the bullet points above is that either we don't already have the resources or that people are just not stepping up to voluntarily do the things that would make it unnecessary for governments to shut things down.A devastated economy will be just as bad, if not worse, then the virus.

Living in the Republic of Dio - sounds like quite a place!You don't have to give blood in order to save others, but if you don't you pay for the testing yourself.
