Chat Lessons (hopefully) learned from the pandemic

He rather 1000s of people die just to save his part-time job at Burger King.

You realize that just because someone wishes something it does not mean that it will come true.

good news is that all the banks are going to lower your credit card interest to 10.99

so now the ones that can't afford will rely on their credit card to float them.

It may not be the perfect answer but it is a start.

Less will die from Covid19 than from the economic shutdown. So, I dont support the economic shutdown because more people will die from the shutdown than from the virus.

How will we fund cancer, diabetes, heart disease and other treatments if most workers are forced to stay home? Where will the economic production, then turned into money, come from if we dont work and produce?

You obviously are allergic to logic, facts and math and economics.

Thanks krayjee/Ursala.

not so sure. It is a complex issue, ordering a portion of the population to cease earning money and take on a risk.
like many things, hindsight is 20/20, but I think the government should have stepped up sooner and told the bank.

I wonder if mpas are going to provide bbbjs when they come back.

Guaranteed.

...Korean approach=model.

...once disease detected, quarantine, trace contacts, test test test...

...& close friggn border f/ stupid countries...

...beginning = $$$, but ultimately way cheaper... industries still working, bars, restaurants, & SPAS still open...

Yes, folks wear masks everywhere in public.

.... Probably useless, but Social signal, “we are in this together”...

...we can do this now 2.... test ppl w/ symptoms, quarantine sick ones, trace contacts, test test test...

...don’t understand y so hard 2 spend $ 1 billion in health care but ez 2 spend $ trillions supportng workers & businesses...

...hard 4 some people 2 understand closing everything for lil virus which makes less than 10% sick...
...but we’d have NO HOSPITALS @ all... so minor injuries become fatal, emerg is full, drs & nurses sick...

...letting it burn thru populate=crazy... not just COVID-19 deaths, but even routine stuff like allergic reactions=fatal...

...but spend on tests, tracing, we’d lick this thing by June...

...keep border closed & wait 4 virus 2 burn thru USA... or disappear like magic, like their Pres predicted...

...now we got sosh distancing w/o testing... how can we know when 2 lift it? Russian roulette...

Yes, this is like a Tsunami. You really do not know how big it is until it hits the shore.

it doesn't mean a lot. It will take you a long time to pay off assuming you are going the minium payment route.

Oh look the bug chaser is in. Caught anything yet?

You're another one that didn't care how bad things got, as long as you could see whores that's all that matters.

Of course I am not sick because I am not a senior citizen and I am not a fat diabetic fuck.

Life is what it is. Everyone will die. You do understand that, right?

I have not stopped seeing my 2 regular girls.

I have setup multiple PS4 running COD:MW and a few other games, plus a bunch of jigsaw puzzles, some old board games and even a Wii in the cafeteria/lounge of the building that I am working in. We have volunteered to stay for as long as needed. It is a great way for some of the workers to blow off some steam. If you losers play. I might be one of the guys that you kill.

Just tossing out a few thoughts. Please add your own.

- Governments and people need to be ready for and expect crises.
- Citizens should have high standards for their leaders and hold them accountable.
- Most of our stuff should not be made in countries that are not our allies. In the future this will be largely addressed by advances in 3D printing and robotics, and localized on-demand manufacturing.
- Their will be future pandemics. The world needs ongoing and well financed research and preparation to anticipate and deal with this.
- Decision making must give more respect to science and less to opinions and public sentiment.
- For capitalism to survive the problems at the margins need to be addressed - there should not be working poor, corporations should not be reliant on never ending growth, companies should be by law responsible entities in the countries they operate in (in the current corporate model the only responsibility a corporation has is to maximum profit, and if that means polluting, bribing politicians and exporting jobs, they do it). Capitalism works far better than any other system, but it is not perfect.

Great insight, also...

Well if both you and her can show recent negative tests for COVID-19 I do not see why not. Of course you will end up having to reveal your real names to each-over.

out of desperation i’d do it. assuming she’ll be needing coins she may do it too

 

[topo112]

I hope mp and mpas offer half price tuesdays when they open for business, most of us will be broke by then.

wonder if it was included in the dumping duties of softwood lumber.

if you want to fuck up the us, you block electricity from quebec and new brunswick and newfoundland.
the eastern us would go dark.
say we need the power to make masks.

but that is just me.
