Interesting statistics regarding Utah:

Meanwhile according to a report in the SF Gate, 90% of the folks who tested positive at one facility all had jobs where they couldn't work from home.

Of course you don't know the make-up of the populations that are going to these facilities so it's difficult to make any definitive determination - other than this virus is a son of a bitch.

Well ****, we better just never go back to work in that case. What's the incentive?

How long can the government continue to pay 30 million + and counting unemployment? That's not sustainable. They'll just tax the piss out of the majority of middle class people to get the money back.

So I'll ask again. At what point is it "safe" enough to go back to work?

Starve the peasants long enough and they will go back to work for us right? Pandemic be damned.

That seems to be the question no one can answer, unless they cite something irrational like a cure or a vaccine. Both of which are obviously irrational.

A few of us in here have mentioned a comprehensive system of testing and tracking. If a decision was made by Congress and POTUS to get this done, it could largely be done by August, and could mean a significant opening up of the restrictions. Then again, who has time to remember the rational responses.

So covid19 doubles your chance of dying? Insurance companies will love that.

Sweden may see a sudden and swift decline in number of deaths since many have been exposed. We won't. We really, really, slowed it down, but eventually people will become exposed to it. That's just the reality.

So it'll probably be a couple years before we can study the results, but I wouldn't be surprised if the per capita deaths are similar between the two countries by the end of it.

There will be no end of it. Until we develop a vaccine, it's here to stay, just like the flu.

Boy, you're gonna be able to build a nice sized house with all that straw you got there.

Let me know when you're interested in actually having a discussion. Until then, chin chin.

If I understand correctly (and it's highly possible I don't), it doesn't mutate near as fast or often as the flu. So the possibility of building an immunity is higher than the flu. Have to hope for a situation where you get it once, and then you're done.

She was given an opportunity to repent and avoid the jail sentence. Being able to apologise goes a long way in life. Humility is not a bad thing. Even in Texas.

Yeah, the Texas judge needs to be humbled. He sent her to jail because she wouldn't say sorry because she didn't think providing for her kids was selfish.

It was a dick move. Oh, boo hoo. Did the mom not apologize? Then throw her in jail.

So outdated.

If she had paid for unemployment insurance for herself, wouldn't her kids be able to eat off of that? If she has no income, Texas still has food stamps. Her kids will eat.

Why not educate her, help her and show her she can get by with those programs instead of throwing her in jail?


Seems pretty simple. I'm sure her week behind bars will rehab her unwillingness to apologize. Lol

Well I initially did ask you a direct question which you didn't answer. It takes two to tango, so I guess I shouldn't expect much. ..

The dick move was keeping your hair salon opened while other people are being good citizens and following the law and suffering just like you would've.

Wasnt she breaking the law? Whatever happened to law and order? If she didn’t want to be known as a criminal then she shouldn’t have broken the law.

People aren’t given immunity from law breaking because they’re business owners or friendly to the president’s political party.

One of the keys to our Democratic Republic is following the law and applying the law equally. Seems like some people don’t believe the law applies to them. Unfortunately, with Barr killing Flynn’s prosecution today, this is becoming a forgotten concept in our country.
