Don't punish organized crime syndicates?

Sounds defeatist and weak as **** to not punish an entity because you're scared of what they'll do next.

You. Know.MAD mutually assured destruction kept the Warsaaw Pact and NATO from going to war since the end of WW2 ? So not punishing an entity for fear of what they will do next has valid precedence it's just survival on big geo political levels. Just saying.

Fla is not the only place people from NYC are going.

Mush, just curious, if you had no symptoms but people were dropping like flies, would you leave Fla if you hav a house in Maine?

But why allow MORE TO COME Clown?

I get the spring breaker BS but actually allowing people from a HOTSPOT?

You have one of the most vulnerable populations in the country, why the resistance?

In fairness to to the religious topic what is the different in going to Church or going to a GROCERY STORE?

There is NONE!

I don’t even go to church! I dont care about the religious topic.

People today still don’t like religious freedom...It it hilarious!

Dr, STAY AT HOME is pretty simple...

YOU STAY AT HOME unless you NEED an ESSENTIAL.....

They gave you a list!

I saw the list!

What it is so CONFUSING about it?

STAY AT HOMW for christ sakes!

So just heard the Chinese Gov said be prepared for a 2nd wave later in the year.

Nice!

Hopefully we get a vaccine by then.

Unreal!

Mush, every expert has said that already. It's not just china. Fauci said it, last week. He also said that now we know what to do so when and if it does come back, we will be in a much better place to deal with it.

This isn't going away until we have all gotten it or we get a vaccine.

Mush, answer the question I asked directly to you.

If it were just people going to Fla for a weekend? That's ****ed but if these were people who owned a home there and wanted to hunker down in Fla instead of NYC? I can't fault them as long as they have their supplies for two weeks, go to their home and quarantine for 14 days.

Nick, DeSantis was far from clear or unequivocal. He waffled and waited until a lawsuit forced his hand!

Essential to me means grocery stores, gas stations, maybe some retailers like Walmart/Target who also do groceries, and fast food places for truck drivers and other people who have to work and be on the roads regularly.

If you break a pipe or have an electrical or structural issue with your home and it needs repair or if you have an unfinished renovation that has to be completed... I think it's good those places are open.

I love this country too and I fully agree with. you.
I think the pointing of the finger is the worst trait we have as a country. It almost affects every interaction and opinion, one way or another.

1-It's his fault.

2-No it isn't. If that other guy hadn't done this, we wouldn't be here.

1-BS, the guy before him did this and that and that force the last guy to do what he did and he din't want to do that but he had to because those other guys wouldn't let him really do what he wanted.

3-You see everyone starving while you argue?

2-Tell that to 1. If he would just let this guy do what he wants
1-Wrong. this guy won't help. he's out to ruin the country.

Clown, I agree. I think the dividing line is when patriotism bleeds into jingoistic accusation and behavior.

NYS just went over to a Level 1 Pandemic response.

I find this hilariously funny. I just talked to my buddy who own a logging and logging truck business. He was thinking that they were going to get shut down because you wouldn't think logging would be an essential business. In the past week their order load has gone up 8x what they did this time last yr. All the orders are from companies that uses pulp to make toilet paper, napkins ect because the demand for TP is so high. He's actually having to rent trucks and drivers from other industries to fill/haul all the orders.

Correct me if i'm wrong but this is a respiratory virus not something that gives you the runs so badly need people need a case of TP a week per person right? I've yet to hear one doctor say a symptom of this is horrendous intestinal/ colon distress that people need to stock up on tp that much.

They were actually ordered by a government agency to cancel a 500 acre plot that was scheduled to go to a lumber company and send to paper mills. The stupid part about that is over half of it is sent to go to china because thats where lots of companies that make paper supplies make ir then ship it back to us. So by buying all that extra TP, paper towels, napkins ect we are helping to re open Chinas struggling economy while ours is tanking
