Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

I support his right to free speech just as I supported the right of the NFL to fire his dumbarse.

I agree, if he actually wanted to make a change there’s much better ways to go about it.

Why do cities have to shut down as opposed to targeted entities/populations in the cities?

It is probably too strong to say everyone will have to. But I am just not convinced that you can effectively isolate the at risk when active cases all around the city are high due to letting it run. Look at the nursing homes. Seems like as soon as one caregiver gets it, it’s off to the races.

Who got killed?

You need accurate, quick, cheap testing. Then you can operate a nursing home safely. Really anything safely at that point. If a family can go to CVS and pick up a two week supply of tests for $25 then we are at a good place. I have no idea how realistic that is.

This is another example of people over sensationalizing a story. That is not blackface, its a Halloween mask. Its no different than if she wore a Ronald Reagan or Trump mask. Quit trying to use the race card. And just for gits and shiggles, I do think that this is done in poor taste, buts its not blackface.

The fact that they're using kids to push their agenda is what's sick. Just like it is with the autistic girl pushing climate change

So they test positive. How many are showing symptoms, and even dying? This is a question that needs to be asked. Contracting the virus, in and of itself, isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

I agree. That, and the virus is not showing to be food borne in any way.

Okay how? Answer your own question. What is unique about meat packing employees that make them more susceptible? Other than what I've already mentioned, I'm not seeing it.

My first answer would be that there is a heavy immigrant population working in those facilities (I suppose). My second suspicion would be that they live in densely populated housing and likely amongst themselves in a tight-knit community. That facilitates transmission as much or more than the meat plant itself.

I agree that both are going about it the wrong way. Memes aren’t necessarily meant to be honest more to evoke a response.

That’s a very honest assessment.

 

[Matt2496]

Not as much as an underreaction.

Again, monday morning quarterbacking the response is easy. If you're in NYC, you don't think there's an overreaction.

You can't treat every town in the US the same way though.

Dumb meme of the day.

 

[Septic]

I'm just going to throw this question out there. Had there been a large group of black people openly carrying firearms into the state, does anybody think they get treated differently than these protesters?

I don't disagree.

This was true (in my anecdotal case) in the meat packing plant I worked in . It was a beef plant and I know they will vary according to what is being processed but , the meat packing industry is notorious for hiring we will say .. “ less than legal “ migrants.

lol well i can think BOTH protests are dumb or right or wrong, and its STILL two different things.

My issue with Kap's kneeling (he had every right to) is that he expected the NFL to go along with it (they dont have to), that he was pushing the false BLM narrative of "the police like to kill blacks for no reason", and he himself comes from a rich white family, so he is really hypocritical

That is THE reason, full stop. BLM was built on a false narrative from inception.

So, when will the topless dancers be allowed to return to your club?

I dont get why they had to close in the first place. I was told that they already had a six foot social distancing policy place.

This is a snapshot of the protesters yelling at the representatives behind the officers, not yelling at the officers. Please don't try to incite a calculated response.

You can watch the video here

Put kneeling players on the capitol steps and not a private business venue where no one has gathered for your politicking, and you have a valid analogy.

Governments are racist?

Without question.

Lol, yep.

Look at the responses I got to my meme, on this very page.

They allow video taping? Man I have been getting ripped off.

I don’t disagree.

Look, I really do appreciate running the numbers and looking at hard data. I’m an engineer by trade with a minor in statistics and mathematics.

At some point though, we need to step away from the computer and look at reality. It’s going to be really hard to convince me that a healthy person in a small town in Florida, or a healthy bake shop owner in Paducah, shouldn’t have been at work over the last month and shouldn’t be at work now...even knowing what we knew then. Multiply that times millions of Americans.

An interpretation of data may suggest a one size fits all response is best, but the reality on the ground says otherwise.

Somebody on here already said it before and I thought it was great. Shutting down the economy the way we did so we could maybe protect some elderly is some next level boomer selfishness.

I don’t think the data suggest a one size fits all is necessary or best.

Maybe you guys are right, but I'm not buying that there are more in the meat packing industry than any other "plant" type places and that's why the sudden outbreak. Idk though.
