I noticed the CA order doesn't really say anything about going outside for exercise nor does it say that parks are going to close.

But it says what you can do

The amateur porn industry is posed for a big comeback.

If you’re a paranoid fuck wearing a mask to prevent contracting wuflu but not wearing eye protection is there really a point? You are just fucking the front line workers

Please stop. If you want to criticize mask wearing because we have a finite supply, then that's fine. But if you think wearing masks makes you "paranoid," then you clearly are missing the point highlighted by two key facts:

1. We don't have an accurate count of how many people are infected.
2. Even poorly fitted masks are proven to reduce the inoculum which can reduce the severity of the infection. In addition to aggressive testing and quarantining, this is the primary hypothesis for how Taiwan and Hong Kong escaped with so few infections and deaths.

This opinion piece has the right information for this topic. I recommend you read it.

A strong economy benefits the incumbent President's re-election chances, and thus must be destroyed.

I'm working on a porn app to access computer cameras that lets people toggle between all the houses on their block.

NEVER fuck with the deep state.

Coronavirus is the enemy and it's made it's move already. Time to call out the troops.

There are not enough troops.

No, we’re laughing watching everyone else run out and to buy their first gun, and then leaving with a crossbow because they live in a state with a waiting period.

A friend in Sacramento reported that.

a regular healthy jo trying to protect themselves walking around with an n95 mask and no eye protection is a problem IMO

"He's not doing anything for the working people of America who lost their jobs!"

President Trump immediately cancels interest on all student loans
President Trump immediately pauses all evictions and foreclosures on federal properties and loans
President Trump immediately LITERALLY GIVES EVERYONE MONEY

Hey idiot. Trump did nothing immediately, OK. Well other than blame this on the fucking Democrats and try to turn this thing into something political. You are now on ignore, oh, and fuck you.

[rideit]

Doesn’t Spats ride a recumbent?
Nuff’ said.

[Ottime]

the money is to stimulate consumption

if trump has political motives, so be it - the money will be spent - people always spend money

and I absolutely despise the orange retard, but handing money out now is not the worst idea in the world

you know what was a really bad idea, the personal tax cut for the top .1%

But where to spend it? My town is Shelter in Place. I can buy food, house hold supplies and medicine. Nothing else is open for business

Online retailers are starting to shut down. Sierra Trading Post Closed ship today.

Some folks are in need of $1000. Provide it for the recently laid off. Not everyone. My neighbors that earn over $250k a year do not need a grand. The mom down the street who is no infer cleaning rooms does. For food. Give her $2k.

Your opinion isn't informed. These aren't black and white issues. Recognize that there are people who study these problems for a living and defer to them.

Okay everybody go out and buy n95 masks now!!! Fuck that. The front line workers need them and they don’t have them.

The majority of people can prevent spread on their daily routine with simple measures (hand washing, maintain reasonable distance, avoid touching face more often, etc). You don't need PPE when running errands. Especially out here.

Took a trip to the liquor store, and saw the clerk working with latex gloves. Nice gal, just doing her job and trying to be careful. While she may not have seemed like an at-risk person, you'd hate for her to suffer the symptoms id she caught it through her job.

Since work finally got me a VPN to work from home, I caved into my desire for a little Irish cream with my coffee.

How nice. My liquor store is shut down with windows and doors boarded up with plywood.

Does the MyPillow.com guy literally have billion dollars in advertising funds? Their ads are literally nonstop. I’ll never buy their product just because I hate their ads.

Question about blood donation. I’m O+. I can give double reds. I know there is a high need for blood donation. Do I put myself at great risk, donating blood if I were to get CV19? I’m thinking I might need those red blood cells and that donating would weaken my immune system.

He raises a legitimate issue. This is one more way that health depends on income. People who can't afford cars can't avoid crowded buses. If you can think of a better way for poor people to get where they need to go I'm sure everyone will be all ears.

Buses are empty around here. BART (the commuter/homeless train) reduced service b/c 97% of passengers are gone.

And many homeless already have free passes

previous order for Bay area considers exercise, outdoor activity essential.
