Covid breaking my hopes

[notdeadYET]

There is more intelect and rationality in this forum than in the government seats.

I agree there is AND I would still hate to get stuck talking to some of you at a party.

As for my hopes, they are good. Im focusing my energy on what i can control. I'm enjoying time with my kids. Actually was able to teach them a little bit of chess. We are camping inside the house, having fun, playing games, laughing. The missus and I had a near domestic dispute followed up by great makeup sex.

Self-actualization: achieving one´s full potential, we steroid users are generally at this level. Above the pyramid of human needs.

No need to be sorry- lots of good points especially if the end result as far as deaths is inevitable. I agree that millions upon millions at home while the economy crashes to save maybe 20k lives at a max does not seem like a valid solution.

This is one of the things this BULLSHIT disease was designed to do. When the stock market goes down it’s because the value went somewhere else. It doesn’t just poof disappear. So some people took that value out.

It could also be a socio-economic experiment to see exactly what the sheep accept from their shepherds. You see people STRONGLY supporting this lock-down. Um, based on what? Well based on what the media reports (is that even remotely factual anymore?) and what WHO scientists and CDC scientists claim. Are they really looking out for us and if so, what makes these special people so much more benevolent than you or I?

Read up. The Federal Reserve was created in the early 1900s. It’s NOT run by our government. It’s private. Prior to the Great Depression, it’s role was limited but it didn’t save us from the Great Depression so in response, the government gave the private independent system MORE power. Same thing will happen in the future after the great economic collapse of 2020.

They have millions of people on lockdown to save a few thousand people’s lives in America. Why? Because the rest of the world is doing it. Why is the rest of the world doing it if it’s already proven to be ineffective? This obviously isn’t about “saving lives” but that’s the best storyline because the sheeple feel like they have a cause now. And fuck if some of those idiots aren’t downright passionate about “flattening the curve”.

Let us go back to work. Our grandparents generation wouldn’t have sat on their hands like this knowing that they were losing ALL of their money. Our generation is the first of the “Pussy Generations”. History is going to write about the “global pandemic of 2020 that killed 20,000 people but the economy collapsed because that generation sat in their house.” FML, we should be fucking EMBARRASSED.

Sorry for the rant, I’ll return to my safe space and “hope”. [emoji58]

You guys should see the amount of people begging our governor to shut us down, mandatory shelter in place. Take away our rights, close more businesses, rely on them for money.

Wouldnt the economy have crashed regardless just because of the virus? Everyone is working from home basically except for the ppl who cant.
We arnt spending the money willy nilly anymore that could have an affect?

Trump may be realizing that the economic ramifications aren’t worth it. He tweeted this last night:


WE CANNOT LET THE CURE BE WORSE THAN THE PROBLEM ITSELF. AT THE END OF THE 15 DAY PERIOD, WE WILL MAKE A DECISION AS TO WHICH WAY WE WANT TO GO!

The problem with what is happening now is that the governments around the world have locked everyone home at the same time, which is what would happen worst case scenario because of the virus.

So instead of letting people work while they can, because not everyone would get sick at the same time, they basically dove in worst case scenario mode and shut everything down at once.

You can’t tell me this doesn’t have the invisible had behind it.

I have intelligent friends who are saying this right now. Stuff like we need a mandatory month long complete shut down. They aren’t looking for government control, but they are just scared to death by all the media. Some seem to be on the verge of loosing it over seeing people going out of their homes for whatever reason. I have “socially distanced” myself from these people because I feel like calling them out, and that will do nothing for anyone.

Sometimes its best to socially distance yourself from people instead of smashing their faces in and getting arrested.

I'm in favor of a two-week shutdown only if it comes from the top (White House). I'm not scared and definitely not losing my shit over this.

My thoughts are if we have a national shutdown, we can have a national all-clear (whatever that means, it will mean something to scared people).

I just think right now you have media, local governments, state governments all doing and saying different things. I say fuck it all, do it, do it now, then give the all clear. Otherwise people will continue to have anxiety, fear, and well, continue being giant pussies.

And I'm done even responding to any COVID19, Wuhan, Chinese virus threads. Shit is old.

I went for a run today. The end.

They are saying different things to monger fear.

Now they are saying it affects younger people too, because they are not complying with the “social distancing”, and they are realizing that they don’t want their lives ruined because of 2% of the population, so if they convince people that affects everyone, everyone is scared and more likely to comply.

@Nymbnymb got the boot in the ass. Had 9 posts of absolute troll garbage. Grown men, huh? Why waste time doing that shit.

 

[Turbo charged]

Trump wants things to move again agree to some degree with social distancing. Gyms are going to be done for a while. I says months it's a haven for germ spread and you really cant social distance in a gym

 

[Oldschool]

I have a powertec work bench, lat pull down extension, power block dumbbells 120 lbs and an exercise bike. I still belong to a gym, but this has really come in handy now. I bought the powertec really cheap from Letgo. It came with 500 libs of weight too. The guy wanted $ 600.00 !!

How do you like that Powertech work bench?

 

[Heynow]

“We have nothing to fear, but fear itself”. Get it?

 

[Chmewy]

At this point, is there any consequences for throwing a brick in my gyms window so I can go bench press

 

[Turbo charged]

I just spent 5000 on used gym equipment on Saturday got everything from peck deck to cable crossover machine dumbells from 10 to 80s leg machines shoulder press later machine and more 4 pickup trucks worth of stuff
