I live in NW georgia..work in management for the largest flooring company in the world..(distribution)i have not missed one single day. Besides less traffic in april, people wearing mask and dine in closed I have not been affected. I have been hesitant to post this out of respect for those seriously affected by the over reaching lock downs. But thought timing was to illustrate the different ways people have been affected

We are well aware we live in a different reality than most. Some others are in worse positions than we are.

The management of this “crisis” was the proverbial straw and has pushed us to make the decision to leave the state. We’ll be getting our affairs in order and hope to be out by year end.

I travel for work and in the past two months I've been to Florida, Vermont, New Jersey, Minnesota, California, and Colorado. Seeing how different states have reacted to COVID is pretty wild.

I imagine Florida is the outlier in that group.

Well don't keep us in suspense. Lay it out there. We love stats and factual information

Vital statistics are considered to be highly accurate. A dead body is a dead body, and a very small percentage go uncounted. For many countries in Europe, the number of deaths for 2020 spiked, making the number of total deaths higher than previous years. The increase in numbers is higher than the number given for covid-19 deaths, which indicates that the latter is being under counted.

Add: I will try to find the study which reported this. Yah!

Global coronavirus death toll could be 60% higher than reported | Free to read

It’s crazy that through this whole thing Florida, of all places, got it mostly right.

Also crazy how the MSM has ignored it. While lionizing Cuomo at least until his failure in the nursing home debacle came into focus. .

The only useful thing that has come out of this COVID panic was it made it easy to identify who the gullible stooges are. I still have friends who stay indoors as much as possible, leave their mail outside three days before bringing it in the house, and sanitize all groceries before bringing them inside. Some refuse to get together because they are scared they will get Coronavirus. They are still doing all this despite the data that has pointed to a large over reaction. I really don’t know if I will be able to remain their friend. It’s not malicious or even intentional, but I just lost all respect for them.

This is how my BIL and his wife are currently. They go nowhere but the streets of their neighborhood. They pick up groceries and leave them in the garage for two days. In Texas. They will die of botulism before they get corona. They think businesses should stay closed until next year, but of course he can work from home and she doesn't work so that's an easy position to take. They're apparently ok with the grocery people risking imminent death to supply their oat milk. My wife has asked them about coming here and their list of rules is moronic. We would not be allowed to go anywhere or see anyone for two weeks before their arrival, and we can't go anywhere or do anything while they're here. They will not stay in a hotel on the drive here or back, which is baffling to me considering there are probably rooms that haven't been used in 3 months. My daughter has a dance recital prior to their arrival date and they said you can pick that or us. It's unreal. I know the wife is driving the train but the BIL is onboard and is very supportive. Their parents have offered to visit but due to their reckless grocery shopping and hair appointments they would only allow them to see their grandson from the street. I feel bad for my wife, she is pregnant and due in August and I don't think her brother will even come for it "because he could kill their parents". So she's already got a lot on her plate and now he's acting like a mental case. It's like this whole thing has flipped some switch in people's head. He's a nice enough guy but I will never be able to forget how he's acted during this. I'd already written the wife off but her true colors have come out.
