This is pretty horrifying even if we slow it's process through the health care system with how lethal this thing is that's a lot of dead people for us to get herd immunity. Well I certainly don't want dead people but that is how humans have survived pandemics for tens of thousands of years.. I pray this ends every day And I do have hand sanitizer

That seems to be what American is. These, in the grand scheme of existence, temporary measures, might keep you or your loved ones in good health or alive. Even more, it might keep your neighbors the same. Folks can go read books; play video games; pray; meditate; exercise. Folks can survive without having to be in large groups for a time. Stubbornness has ALWAYS been an American trait, for better or for worse. 1

par73 Posted April 12, 2020 Posted April 12, 2020 Of greater concern to me is Erie County's poor grades for not adhering to social distancing guidelines.

Does identity have a fancy word for those also? Again, asking for a friend. This isn't a political forum so I will end it here... My Trans professor in my 700 level class in cultural studies couldn't answer this question either. I really wanted to know why gender identity was SO accepted, yet all other identities were taboo to them. I guess "he" was more comfortable stating that being "male"(his terminology) was how you felt, but "him" saying a person born white can identify as black was a little tougher in a class filled with minorities. Why? What's the difference? It can't be science... Why can we change our gender identity, but not any other identity?! That seems very narrow minded. Heck, even income identity should come into account in this land of make believe. If you are born a rich white boy in the Hamptons, yet you identify as a poor old minority lady, who are we to not allow him(well, now her i guess) all the benefits our government has to offer for such an identity?! It's his choice! We should accept it! This is only in response to the person who wanted to distinct sex with gender, yet gender can dictate bathroom use, showers, locker rooms, and sports eligibility. It would seem that our country treats gender as if it were sex. Geez, again I apologize and I will crawl back under my rock and watch from afar. I don't mean to go on these rants, but when I see a certain political point of view not being reined in on a sports forum, I feel someone has to stand up.

Call_Of_Ktulu Posted April 12, 2020 Posted April 12, 2020 It’s because of dumb asses like this marshal law will be declared. With what little they really know about Covid-19 this Is very disrespectful to family, friends and whoever they have contact with afterwards. Over privileged and incompetent people are two of the main reasons this thing will hit harder here than anywhere else. 1

Look, let me make it simple: First, if they want to put themselves at risk, more power to them. But the fact is that they are putting their entire community -- including at-risk individuals -- at risk by doing what they're doing. Second, when people do this kind of thing, it spits directly in the face of everybody around the country making sacrifices right now. It invalidates our stay-at-home efforts, and it says in a loud and clear voice to medical personnel: "We don't care about you or your life". Bottom line: The longer people like Prescott commit these selfish, self-centered, short-sighted, disrespectful, negligent acts, the longer society has to stay shut down. You want everyone to go back to work? You want the economy to recover? You want people to stop dying? You want to have an NFL season this year? Then everyone -- including rich athletes -- needs to STAY THE ***** HOME!!! Until when.....Until we're all bankrupt. Until the "curve" is flattened? Until the models that change every week and the goofballs interpreting them say its ok to go back to living? When's your cutoff? Are you willing to live like this until say December?

I pray this ends every day And I do have hand sanitizer FYI masks and gloves can be found on amazon and I presume ebay as well. Takes a little looking these day but I got mine in about a weeks time. If you are classified as an essential employee your employer may now be required to provide you with a mask. Seems like a lot of stores are making them mandatory now. I hope you are actually using that hand sanitizer, for both your sake and those you come in contact with. Stay Safe! Edited April 12, 2020 by DefenseWins 1

I'd consider that money wasted. Cultural Studies was one course of my masters program. That class was money wasted considering the logic they used destroyed their own argument's defenses. They talked in circles and denied logical conclusions/applications. But the Masters program itself was very enlightening and money well spent.

I can say I am a girl even though I was born male(but a cultural professor would say I was born female from the start, even though I was born with a tally wacker)... but can I say I am black even though I was born Caucasian? Why, or why not? I tell you what, I will start a thread for you and me in the political forum so we don't get into trouble here. Hey Mods, please delete all my comments from this forum... I didn't mean to derail the topic. Thank you... I started a thread in the political section. Edited April 12, 2020 by WorstTEever81 1

You’re right. ***** it. Let’s all just pour back into the streets tomorrow, resume life, and see what happens. I’m sure everything will be fine. Gotta get that economy back up and humming, after all!

This is the last I will speak of this here, but since you're a Logical man, check out how many deaths are attributed to poverty. Also, check out the approach Sweden is taking. I guess time will tell which is correct.

Alas, time will indeed tell who is correct.
