Where I'm at the kids go to school a couple times a week and the rest is online

thats how it’s going down here as well. It’s opening all virtual for a month, after that there’s an a group and b group. They each do 2 days in class and 3 days online. In January it looks like they’ll reevaluate and figure out a full transition back into the classroom if they can. Parents also have the choice to adopt the hybrid model keep their kids home and do it virtually. It’s rough for sure, people need to work, kids need to socialize, we need to figure out a new normal, but this is a very unique and fluid time in the words history.

I think Texas is going to see a population surge. There’s good leadership there and I’m jealous during this whole covid shit. There’s way too many bleeding heart do-gooders with no brains on the East and west coasts.

No whats worse, is how some peoples choices and opinions are on total
opposites. There should be a happy medium, but thats not possible. Trying to prove the other side is horrible, thats making things worse.

the people with shitty opinions tend to voice it on both sides, to much.

USA is the only place where people can voice there opinion even if its wrong and think they are 100 % right even when science shows otherwise. Making them look stupid.



i agree with what you said but also agree with the other view points.

of course schools opening would be great for the children, they will not learn on the computer virually its unrealistic.

The young boy in my family only socializes in school and misses it alot. But also there is 100% going to be a surge in cases if schools open, thats just a fact.

There is very poor facts and ways this is being handled.

Just like when the virus started it was: “it spreads on surfaces” and “masks don’t work that well” now it’s the complete opposite. It’s fairly obvious they really don’t know any more than the rest of us. It’s learning to live with it until they come out with a vaccine. I’m not letting this virus control my way of living my life. Fuck that

The news said that traveling on an airplane is 100% safe. Wtf? You get the common cold when next to someone on the plane has it. But you safe with covid??

It comes down to money. The airlines were losing money so they now say its safe to fly on a plane. The schools were losing money so they opened just enough for tuitions to be paid and then are closing 2 weeks into semester.

The news is toxic and making everything worse, because they report opinions not facts.

Again, your community church gathering and people quickly stopping by to shop at your big store is vastly different than larger communities with tourism and larger populations and infrastructure.

How so? It just takes a second to pass along a virus. You don’t have to French kiss a mother fucker to get this shit. Lol.
And I stated that these truck drivers and travelers are coming from very populated places. Maybe you city folk are slacking on your daily hygiene?

^^^^^ This is what needs to change. People still believe what CNN or FOX say. With social media competition, major media is in a rush to get the story out, whether it’s factual or not.

The different networks put their own spin on it too for profit. CNN reports it one way because they want their viewership, Fox reports it another. Both are wrong.

When I grew up the major news had a responsibility to “be fair and balanced” or they would get fined. News is bullshit entertainment at the least or brainwashing propaganda at the worst.

If you can’t see what I’m trying to convey, I’m sorry. A truck driver stopping by your one Walmart and refueling in your town of 5k is greatly different than what’s going on in cities all over this country. Your town is probably for the most part business as usual. Larger populations have to balance shut down with keeping some level of infrastructure to keep the wheels rolling. The rate of carriers who are asymptomatic, the amount of exposure on the daily to new people who may not be exercising the same level of caution at home as you, commuter work force, etc.
It’s a numbers game, hand washing aside, you’re dealing with human error and accountability. I keep my shit on point, someone who thinks this is a hoax may not.
Let’s not overlook the fact that when someone gets hit with it hard, they’re going to a hospital in a more densely populated region to deal with it, they’re not being shuttleD to a spot like your town.

so say that person got it, takes 14 days to pop up where they physically detect there’s something going on, how many people have they’ve been in contact with? Most likely far more people than in an area where youre located.

People should wash their hands, socially distance, rock a mask when they can’t, and not gather so we can get back to normal. This shit has been politicized tho, so you have assholes that don’t believe this because the administration likes to retweet fucking qanon bullshit. Again back to numbers, in more densely populated areas there’s more fucktards like that...

this absolutely is what’s wrong, people think cable news is real news. I worked for one of these big companies you mentioned for years, saw it everyday, it’s fucked up.

So this virus preys on big villages? I like it a lot! ​

trust me, I’d trade with you in a second haha.

also, just to say one last thing about truck drivers. I wouldn’t necessarily suspect them of carrying and depositing this virus all over the country. If you think about it, they’re pretty much isolating themselves in their cab for 12 plus hours a day or however long they can get away with it on their logs. Idk how that shit works these days. But they’re dropping into these spots to refuel, get food, shower, maybe sling some d to a lot lizard pre covid, and then back to their cabs for 12 hours of driving and however much sleeping they do. When they get to a city, it’s probably going to a warehouse wheres there’s protocols in place, they put a mask on, sign in at the dock, and then either sit in their trucks or a break room while dudes unload and reload their cargo for fork lifts...

I think Texas is going to see a population surge. There’s good leadership there and I’m jealous during this whole covid shit. There’s way too many bleeding heart do-gooders with no brains on the East and west coasts.

We are already seeing a population surge here and not all of it is good. Some are bringing their liberal ideas with them. No bueno.

 

[cochino]

You still have to wear masks everywhere though, including the gym while working out.

Not at my gym.

The virus is here to stay so hiding from it only prolongs the inevitable. The extremely low death rate of this virus does not warrant shutting everything down and ruining livelihoods.

I mean, this thread is about an ugl ultimately on a steroid forum somewhere in the corner of the internet...

with that being said, while some may throw caution to the wind with what they put into their bodies and the long term effects that may result from that. We don’t know the long term effects this virus may have...

Yet we do know the long-term effects of cigarette smoking and those are still readily available and legal. The government doesn’t give a fuck about anyone’s health. Politicians like this disease because they don’t have to DO anything and they still look good, like they care.

But the virus isn’t going away. The 15 days to flatten the curve started on March 23. Five months is a long-ass 15 days. At some point “hiding” becomes ineffective and over the last 5 months we should have figured out different ways to keep “at risk” people more safe. I’ll take 2 week covid flu over 5 months of limited freedoms.


I do agree with your “corporate socialism” term. I think that’s what we are in now. Small businesses are being eliminated while Walmart Target and Amazon are reporting exponential growth. In socialism you give money to the government and they decide where it goes. Corporate socialism is far worse because I don’t remember electing Jeff Bezos to be a bizzilionaire decision maker.
