This is also a symptom of how our society has discarded the family model. Old people have been discarded a long time ago. Almost one third of Americans live alone. This is not what happens in most of Europe. We've decided a long time ago that anybody is worthless over age 55.

+1 on this, thanks Huckbucket!
I forwarded this to Ms Boissal who was damn near brought to tears yesterday when her sister dug up a box on N95 she had forgotten about. They're already short on masks at the hospital and re-using them.
If we get a check from the fed it's going to her, she's a singer who works gigs in Park City and her husband runs a food truck. Needless to say both of their incomes have declined significantly in the past month. The food truck is still running but when I stopped by yesterday I was probably the 1st customer of the day. SIL's husband has been working solo as he can't pay his usual crew. He looked crushed, he's been working his ass off for 3 years with the food truck and was finally starting to turn a profit now that he's well established.

What comments are those? And I guess you are an expert on judging credibility for the rest of the world and anyone that post on the internet. I am glad that we have you here to set us all straight. Some of you are proving your intolerance for anyone with a differing view then you.

You really are a moron. If you want to know what a blabbering idiot looks like there's a mirror in that little room down the hall... Intolerance? Fuck you man I have dead and sick friends and you're spewing shit about my neighborhood
The fibrosis is what worries me the most. Being sick, really sick, probably won't hurt more than 2 heart attacks within 2 hours of each other so I'm good with that (I think) but permanently hobbled by reduced lung capacity would just suck.

"Not long after President Trump wrapped up his briefing Monday evening, Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick (R) defended the president in an appearance on Fox News Channel’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” casting the coronavirus pandemic as an opportunity for older people to make sacrifices for the sake of their grandchildren’s economy.
Patrick, who turns 70 next week, made the case for restarting the country’s businesses, telling Carlson, “I’m not living in fear of covid-19. What I’m living in fear of is what’s happening to this country.”
“And you know, Tucker, no one reached out to me and said, ‘As a senior citizen, are you willing to take a chance on your survival in exchange for keeping the America that all America loves for your children and grandchildren?’ ” Patrick said. “And if that’s the exchange, I’m all in.”
I say we take the fucker up on this. Sign a directive refusing all medical care in the event you test positive and then get your big tough ass back out there and save the economy pal. Frankly, I don't give a shit if this guy dies, but I don't want him killing a health care worker or using equipment that could save other lives.

I feel you. My Dad is in long term care and my Mom normally spends 6+ hours with him there 7 days a week keeping him company and feeding him. Now they are not allowing visitors (appropriately) in anticipation of the virus hitting them at some point. There is 0% chance my Dad will survive contracting this virus. As I work on the other side of the country there is no reason to go back as I can't visit with him anyway - plus I'm needed here.
Hope your FIL survives this - sounds like he's survived some crazy situations in his life - may that resilience keep him safe through this.

Keith started it as a song about having to leave his newborn son to go on the road. Mick wrote most of the lyrics and turned it into a song about a man woman relationship.

I think attributing this to unions is misplaced. I'm in Tennessee, with one of the lowest unionization rates in the country. I remarked a couple of days ago to my wife that it seemed that the least affected industry so far was construction. We have had a massive boom here in Nashville in the last few years, and every project I see still has workers swarming. The impetus for that isn't coming from unions here.

I see your reading comprehension is on the lower level of the scale. I never said one bad thing about your neighborhood. I did not realize Cuomo was your neighborhood. Do we say "fuck you" to anyone that says something bad about Trump, claiming they are spewing shit about the US? I don't think so. Just like Trump doesn't define all US citizens, Cuomo doesn't define all of NY.
Sorry to hear you have sick family and friends and have lost some of them in all this shit. I have family and several friends in Brooklyn...you are overreacting to comments about NY's governor. You are way to sensitive to actually be a New Yorker. Be honest...you live in San Fran don't you?"We had nice 3 days in your autonomous mountain realm last weekend." - Tom from Austria (the Rax ski guy)

Chinese Rat Flu
Yeah, but that’s not my point. People are throwing numbers around and who don’t understand them. Tugging at everyone’s heart about New York. Bashing the Orangeman. Cuomo was talking about 25k cases vs California, but how much further along their curve are they?
The rest of the country could be fucked if we don’t look ahead at the other hotspots and realize we can’t move shit around like he’s saying.
