Are you guys actually worried about the coronavirus?

I concur German Shepherds are the best dogs ever. And concealed carry permits should be had by anyone who can get one.

Concealed carry for what?

Concealed carry for what?

Guns.

 

[EyeBRollin]

Guns.

Don’t need a concealed carry, especially now.

Don’t need a concealed carry, especially now.

We can agree to disagree.

San Francisco just issued a shelter in place order.

****! My gym is closed! This **** sucks. Whatever I’ll have to make do with what I got. Two arms, two legs, a ground beneath me everywhere I go, and two 40-pound weight vests + a bunch of resistance bands left over from physical therapy. I could probably find a tree to do pullups on too tbh...

In order to accomplish this, chances are high that all debt payments will be pushed two months and then begin again after that. Meaning things like mortgage, car loans and rent would be suspended for two months.

The vast majority of Americans live paycheck to paycheck so they will ensure there is ZERO chance of them all be evicted or going bankrupt as a result of this national crisis.

What do the few those of us who don't have any debt get for being so prudent and frugal all these years? Where's mine?

There are two key things moving forward.

1. Keeping the supply chain for critical items moving.
2. Locking down people to contain the virus.

Thanks to this post I did a bit of research. I've saved two car loan payments (can get another two more if this thing persists) and my mother got four mortgage payments deferred and won't have to make another payment in July. I didn't have to cry poverty, or even need an explanation. The phone hold time was very long and I figured other people were doing the same thing I was and tying up their lines.
I've also amended a chapter 13 arrangement from $ 20,000 in payments to $ 5,000 and hope that also passes because of this thing.

I was doing poorly economically before this hit, but now it feels like a cool thing that everyone's doing to save some money for themselves in the short-term and don't feel bad anymore. How can you call a bank to skip a four payments just like that? Wouldn't most people want a break like that. Good tip.

We just got sent home for two weeks on full pay and there aren't even any cases for 500 miles but it's company wide.

Oh well free holiday

I was checking out that whole QAnon stuff and it’s really weird. Part of me says apophenia, but another part of me says that it’s a little too coincidental lol

 

[EyeBRollin]

Over 2 million US citizens were projected to die without social distancing intervention. Stop downplaying this.

 

[EyeBRollin]

It's the Trump coincidences which made me decide. That latest Nero thing is just way too coincidental.

Fake News hysteria attacking it also helped me realize it is probably real.

2 million deaths. Stop downplaying this.

We're still paying for ALL the teachers for the Rest of the year Here...
These women were ecstatic and they're not happy if you're not happy about their being happy about not having to work and still get paid. You really have to watch your facial expression around them and be happy for their indulgement of their leisure. I mean, most of their "work" is socializing half the day anyway, thus the term "socialism."

I feel whats going on in the world is on a spiritual level. The truth of whats really going on is so unbelievable that most wouldn't even think it;s possible. With the fires that happened in Australia, the locusts in Africa, then this chit. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if the virus is a distraction for something bigger.

After Kobe passed I started to scratch my head is to why so many people were worshiping him like he was some kind of God for simply being really good at throwing a ball into a basket with style. My social media feeds were flooded with 100's of Kobe tattoos, memorials, people all over the world crying, dude making some over the top casket, people saying their lives will never be the same.

More worshiping than any other deceased celeb I think I have ever witnessed. Something just didn't feel right about the whole thing. Now I'm not saying what I posted below has any connection, but got dam it makes me scratch my head. Google Kobes burial site address for the double mind fuk.

Teachers work longer hours than you do.

The virus went "viral" in the social media age. But just like everything else that goes viral, it's 15 minutes will be up eventually. But of course, there will be "powers" that will leverage this for their own agendas.

Without social media it would have looked like this:

People are told to wash their hands more.

Sports would still go on.

Within 6 months a vaccine is produced. And even then a majority of people would opt not to take it and would be fine.

And the good ol seasonal flu (remember him?) would still go on to dominate, killing 30,000-60,000 a year in the US.

If anything, the wuhan virus serves as a test run for social media hysteria. Now the powers REALLY have a blueprint when it comes to mass propaganda, lol. I can only wonder what will come next.

It's like people are so used to living online that its starting to usurp actual physical reality.

well said but still better to be prepared then sorry wouldnt you agree

Ummm... dunno what dimension you live in, but it's not the same as mine.

Where I am, the schools are closed for three weeks. Which is a pipe dream, but I guess everybody from top-to-bottom needs time to process these new realities. Unless there's a nice fluffy rabbit hiding in that hat, we'll be lucky if school reconvenes in September.

But they are only physically shut. Every teacher in the district had until yesterday to bring on board a distance-learning curriculum to replace the traditional curriculum until students are able to physically attend school again. I'm guessing they were suddenly tasked with this over the weekend, which is going from 0-60 in almost no time at all.

This is the first day of "virtual school". The quality of what I'm seeing is uneven, but clearly everybody is working hard and in good faith. We're all just hoping that time and practice makes this better. Fortunately my boys are in high school, so they are rolling with it, and online classes---even if hastily put together---can reasonably fill the gap between traditional schooling and none at all. I can't imagine how this is working out for the elementary grades. What does an online-only curriculum even look like for a first grader? But I digress...

What I'm seeing and experiencing is not a collective "yay! recess for the rest of the school year!" Quite the opposite, it's "oh god how are we going to provide continuity for these students given the indefinite timeline we're faced with?" That along with a tremendous effort to use the tools available to make that happen, in an impossibly short time frame.

But yeah, you're right, it's all a Teacher's Union plot...

I was thinking the same thing, that was so blatant. Idk tho, a lot of it still sketch. Not to get too crazy, but I personally think it’s a mix of both (truth and falsehood).
