are they figuring they are well past the surge, or is it figuring risk/reward is worth it to save local economy, or...
Fear Of Trump's bullying?

It's going to get real around here with this decision I am afraid.

hey Corey.
what's it feel like to you down there as far as if people generally feel staying apart would minimize exposure or do they think it's over blown?

Me personally I work in a diecast plant. We are checking temps at the door before people come into the plant. Albany is one of the hardest hit places in Ga that's an hour away. We have an employee that lives there so everyone was wanting me to make him stay home. People are keeping there distance but some just don't care.We have one girl out since the 25 of March. She has yet to go to a doctor to get proof if she does not she will lose her job.She has done been payed for 80 hrs with no proof.None of that answered your question. I don't go out unless necessary and that's alot of the folks down here.When they do alot of people wearing mask and gloves in public. I don't think this is a good decision but maybe they know better than me. I am not changing what I have been doing.

I think bath houses and kissing booths open up next Tuesday

You forgot about the goat stations

No , You got it right with what you said.

so it IS Trump!
I knew it...HA!

I can't say I stay out of politics but your probably right.

Nothing will change in my routine until I see that cases are not increasing. They may have realised at this point nothing can be done about the virus though, who knows.

Folks are getting stir crazy and complacent. Add in misinformation and pressure from the protesting covidiots and weak politicians will make bad decisions.

Apart from a few hiking and fishing buddies, I have been social distancing for about a decade. I got this.

Weak politicians there is alot of them Tee

in the new normal, everyone admires misanthropes

I might have been kidding!

Lol! Thanks?

I wouldn't take it that far because I feel bad for people suffering during the quarantine. This type of life is really hard for most people, especially if they're too afraid to go outside. It's like a prison for some.

I do enjoy my solitude though, you got that part right.

you're welcome.

Tennessee and South Carolina look to be opening, too.

Know what I say? Good.

My wife and I have both been working through all of this crap. The only change was we don't get to hang with our grand children. That is a huge hit. So, whaddafuque?

I know Dan is getting overrun. Chicago is a cesspool of covid. Over here? Nada. 342 tests, 16 positives. So why lock down the whole country "just in case". If there's an outbreak, quarantine the **** out of it, but destroy the nations economy "just in case"? No, **** way.

I actually think the plan the trump admin rolled out makes sense. It includes the use of data and knowledge. We need the testing though. The admin says it’s there already. I’m not so sure.

We do need to open up that’s for sure. But if it is too soon we could experience the hurt from shutting down plus the hurt of not shutting down. Either choice has cost and benefit. Doing both shares all the cost of both with little benefit.

Having few cases now in any area doesn’t mean you won’t. Many examples of that. You may find out a week from now more have it than you think. This isn’t something you can wait until it hits your area then do something. Then it’s too late.

And yes I think some of the stay at ho,e orders have gone too far.
