I think when all this is over and done with, we have field trips to cougar's house - and do a 'daryl's house' type of jam session / video, except it would be 'cougar's house' - so it would be cooler. btw - where is that if you don't mind me asking.

I am a member of a classic motorcycle forum and a lot of us more fortunate members contributed funds to our Australian members after they lost everything in those terrible fires. You have a lovely cabin in a idyllic setting but I would be terrified of a fire starting. Edited April 23, 2020 by RoyC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murph Posted April 24, 2020 Author Share Posted April 24, 2020 Illinois SAYS it's extending the lockdown, however the State is allowing more and more things to open, which is a good thing. State parks will open, greenhouses, nursery's, elective surgeries, garden centers, animal grooming. Rock and Roll.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortyearspickn Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 More reason for optimism, Murph - although here in San Antonio, you can face 6 months in jail for not wearing a mask - in the 5 days since implemented, while nearly 3,000 good citizens have dropped a dime on their neighbors - police have only issued 28 citations. Even more encouraging .... California is moving to give Emergency Funding to a large group of their population - Undocumented Voters/Aliens. They will give millions out to local non-profits to pass out to people who can somehow prove they are not documented. This is to ensure there is no risk of these folks being identified. Unlike those who don't wear masks here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoyC Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Well, if there was a vax for Covid 19 I would get it. I tend to keep away from the doctors (and it's free in the UK) . I haven't had my anti flu jab for four years, mainly because I can't be bothered to go rather than anti. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the cops not only have to go on domestic violence calls, drug OD calls, shooting , rapings, murders, and any other situation you can think of, and now to pile it on they have to be the mask police too. They guy who robbed the store. He had a mask on and stayed 6 feet away. I had to hand him the money in the bag on a 6 foot pole. The guy who didn't rob the store had one on too.

Black Dog Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 (edited) 1 hour ago, Pinch said: Is the swine flu still doing the rounds? That one was... not fun. Yep, it's still around. It has mutated a little but it's still basically the same virus. It has also been included in all Flu vaccines since '09. Due to a combination of herd immunity through infection and vaccination, it doesn't cause anywhere near the problem it did when it first popped up. The problem with that virus was that the human population had not been exposed to anything like it for a long time. Many older people had been exposed to genetically similar Influenza when they were young so they were not getting that sick from it. Kids and younger adults, on the other hand, got very sick and did have higher mortality. Edited April 25, 2020 by Black Dog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murph Posted April 26, 2020 Author Share Posted April 26, 2020 Went to a Subway yesterday to support them. They just re-opened. Walked in to order, but no seating allowed yet, which is stupid, there was nobody else in there. We would have been social distancing just fine. Ya gotta wonder who's in charge of this lunacy... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissouriPicker Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 I agree, Murph! What the hell is going on? I'm not big on conspiracies, but every day or two something comes-out that totally contradicts the "end of the world" scenario that the news media constantly preaches. We've already been told that the mortalilty models used to literally close down this country and the rest of the world were very wrong. And now we're being told that tens-of-millions more people have already had it or been in contact with it, but no one knew it because they didn't get sick enough to go to a hospital or even a doctor. Yet, we are still on lockdown and the news media is slaughtering the states that are slowly re-opening. Something stinks.............. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet, we are still on lockdown and the news media is slaughtering the states that are slowly re-opening. Something stinks.............. The American College of Surgeons called on its members to CANCEL all 'elective surgeries'. Elective is defined as any that are not emergency. Cancer, Organ Transplants - all cancelled and backlogged. So, if you had stage 3 cancer - they would tell you to get chemo or radiation, and get in line for when they re-open. This has been widely reported, but criminally has not been highlighted in the news. I would have to assume more people will die from the withholding of life-saving surgery, than have died from CoronaVirus. And, except for Elmhurst Hospital in NYC (which could have triaged patients to other hospitals in NYC or the USNS Comfort) I've not heard of any hospitals being filled. Half-filled at best. "Medicare For All" doesn't sound quite so appealing anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
