I do know how they work. And as long as we follow what guidelines are in place up there, which are similar to what is going on here...

In other words, don't do what IA, WI, and SD are doing. By the end of July, it may be a little different (and it could go either way, at this point). My point is, I trust our group more than going out among a bunch of randoms who may not have taken proper precautions.

The relaxation of standards isn’t because they make it safe. It’s because governments were being threatened and the herd was getting restless. This was just a controlled way of releasing the water to help prevent the dam from catastrophically breaking. The town is going to be flooded still, it just buys time for people to grab their kids and dog and get to safety.

Having a small campfire in the unburned forest doesn’t mean it’s a good idea. It’s still a really bad idea.

This idea that we’re “safely” reopening is an insane lie.

Governments job is to bail out businesses that can’t bail themselves out, when it’s due to an emergency.

It’s not hard to know that. Repeal dump and bush tax cuts and pay the small businesses.

Problem solved.

Then they should have shut down EVERYTHING in the first place, and made Target/Walmart/etc do only delivery and curbside, etc.

That being said, working within the guidelines, I'm going to do that. I understand if others are uncomfortable with those guidelines, and choose not to go out and do things.

What I want to happen, and what I think should happen, are two different things. I'm following along with what I think should happen, which is what is happening now. Slowly turning that dial, and also preparing to backtrack and shut things down again if need be.

In chess, the pawns go first, so go right ahead.

I shall, within reason. Currently, I still get my curbside, which is little to no contact, no cash transactions, etc. When the patios open up, I will maintain my 6 feet distance. In other words, I'm following the current rules in MN, which is a lot smarter than what WI is doing.

Yes. They should have. But the boobs armed themselves. And are selfish.

You might have read my post but you didn’t understand it. Working within the guidelines doesn’t mean you’re being safe or smart. It means you’re ok risking your life and others’. The guidelines are just to make sure the idiots don’t start shooting more people.

And you bragged in the Lodge that you defied the governor’s orders and had an 11-person gathering. Forgive me if that doesn’t instill confidence.

10 people is the limit. It's not like we had 50 or 100 people. JEffC. And it wasn't bragging, it was satire/cynicism/etc. Lighten up, Francis (c)Slap Shot.

So, you're doubting Walz' orders so far? Beginning to end? Taking experts' advice?

Just because we disagree, doesn't mean I don't know how things work. And if I approach a place that is following the guidelines, but I don't feel comfortable, I'll walk away. I had to pick up some stuff from Target this past week, and I chose curbside method. I wasn't about to walk into the store. No way. There's no enforcement of the guidelines there.

Didn’t you know breaking guidelines is cool as long as you don’t go way over?

Lol. This is why we can’t have nice things.

Absolutely. And you know why? We as a country could not effectively test, can not effectively trace and our healthcare system fails as soon as demand exceeds the targeted profit margin, we're populated by an unmanageable number of selfish, petulant little children who cannot ever be counted on to act in anything but their own narrow self interests and reflexively oppose anything proven experts suggest because of freedom. So we were left with one effective choice to keep deaths at a more reasonable 100,000, a shutdown.

If anyone tells me the United States is still the greatest country in the world I'm gonna punch them in the throat.

And is "10" the absolute scientific number? Are you sure it isn't 7? Or maybe it's 15? How did they arrive at 50 people for patio seating? Were there tests done? ;)
 
Re: Covfefe-19 The 10th Part: Might As Well Reject No Shirt, No Shoes While You're At

It wouldn’t matter - people like you would question and violate anyway because you don’t seem to understand the scientific method and adjustments

That was Tal's whole thing. He'd figure out how to spot you a queen for material advantage in exchange for a positional advantage that was so great he'd win.

Chess lore is full of stories of grandmasters grabbing a major piece from him, surveying the board, and immediately resigning.

No one who posts here has ever once said the horrid federal response to this crisis will only affect big corporations, so who gives a 5h!t. Not once. You are inventing an issue that does not exist. Actually, those of us here have frequently expressed concern for the horrible difficulties this is putting small businesses in.

Not true. Only a few pages back Rufus was asked if he was even a bit concerned about how the lack of tourism would affect Maine business this summer.

He response was "No. **** Them"

It sounds like he was real concerned. :rolleyes:
