    He'll get more and more ridiculous as the year wears on and his numbers continue to flounder. He's barely even begun pushing conspiracies about the Deep State trying to fix or steal the election.

    My uncle went out this winter and got his small wee-wee permit, so he's already gearing up for some 2nd Amendment remedying.

        When I posted my fatality links, I assumed I was posting this on a COLLEGE Hockey website centered around a game played by the population in the 18-23 age range. This is THEIR game, we are just hockey fans, alums or jock sniffers looking in from the outside. When I posted the links, the TOTAL fatality numbers from 3 hard hit areas were;

        TOTAL FATALITIES: 39,602
        Ages 0-19 = 7
        0-49 = 392
        50+ = 39,203

        What I see is that the vast majority of respondents in this thread say that a bunch of young, healthy, statistically 0 risk student/athletes shouldn’t be allowed to attend school and play THEIR game in front of zero fans because why? Their grandparents and older jock sniffers cant come see them play? Or if the grandparents and OJS's didn’t go to the game, then the players would race home to tell them about the game and thus kill 100% of the people they come in contact with?

        Time to wake up. YOU cant lock up and mortgage the present and future hoping that you can squeeze every last ounce out of the past. The sun is shining, time to go out in the world, get to my work and be concerned with the future.

        Flame away.

              Hey troll boy, if you wanted to talk about young people playing sports, maybe you should have mentioned that in your original post.

              But you didn't do that. You just wanted to quote some selective stats to attempt to paint this pandemic as not as bad as it is said to be.

              And don't flame away. Just **** off.

                They also said that cats living on the higher floors of skyscrapers might evolve webbing like flying squirrels. Dr. Mrs. and I love this idea.

                IIRC nearly all evidence of human existence would be obliterated within the first 5 thousand years. Almost nothing would be left except for a few structures and plastic. The Pyramids ironically might last the longest. The last vestige that we were ever here would be the two Voyagers which will theoretically exist until the SMBHs at the centers of the Milky Way and Andromeda converge in 4B years and kind of destroy everything.

                As for nature recapturing an urban landscape, we don't have to wait.
                Those were some of the most depressing shows I have ever watched. I was affected for weeks after watching them, how little we matter.

                I think the Hoover dam and Mount Rushmore go 10k-20k years.

                    Easy to say until nobody can buy food. I think it is safe to assume that the plan will not include sick and dead people working in food processing. Letting the food supply chain fall apart is not an option.
                    I don't think the executive order has anything to do with the food supply, although I'll admit I haven't read the text of the order. But here is why I have that opinion.

                    First, it deals only with meat facilities, apparently. That's only a part, and maybe a small part of the food supply in this country. Other areas of the food supply are also having problems. Dairy operators are dumping milk because they can't transport it or get it processed. There are farmers in Idaho giving away piles of potatoes that look like the pyramids, because they can't get them shipped and processed. Yet it's the Tysons and Smithfields of the world that the Order saves, and only them.

                    Meat processing plants are heavily unionized. The unions are doing a ton behind the scenes on behalf of employees. For instance, in Minnesota they have been quietly lobbying Walz to have the employees classified as "first responders." They say that'll make it easier for them to get masks. But the real reason is that a "first responder" classification means that if they develop Covid, it's presumed to be work related for workers comp purposes. Walz has thus far declined.

                    So yesterday (or maybe the day before) a big ad appears in the Times or Wall Street Journal and gets lots of airplay. The head of Tyson says the food supply chain is going down.

                    The purpose for that is to generate fear, in preparation for what comes next, which is the Executive Order. Thus far the only people I've heard object to the executive order are the unions, because they know what's going on.

                    My guess is the executive order is going to give the plants some sort of pass on possible OSHA claims that might arise from workers working in an environment where there are contagious diseases possibly present, and maybe even some work comp benefits in the order.

                    I notice that in conjunction with Trump's order, the Iowa governor also apparently implemented an order that people refusing to work due to Covid-19 fears are considered a "voluntary quit" and ineligible for unemployment. That'll also make it easier for Tyson's plants to open back up in Iowa.
                    That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

                        Anyone considered essential should be eligible for workman’s comp if they catch it on the job. Or even if it could be reasonably surmised that’s where they caught it.

                        The general duty clause should absolutely apply here.

                            Otherwise, you’re right. Securing the food supply is a national priority.
                            Smithfield et al shutdown their plants due to COVID-19 running through their plant. While they’ll comply with the order, they’ll just as quickly tell the sick people to stay home. Regardless of whether this virus can be transmitted through food, management will act with the idea that they’re avoiding lawsuits and creating public goodwill. The plant managers and owners have made their desires known, they’d rather be closed right now. Continued operation is risky for them, and likely sacrifice short-term profit for long-term viability.
