Sweeper13 Posted March 15, 2020 at 09:34 PM Share Posted March 15, 2020 at 09:34 PM Typical, blame Trump, Feds not there to help. He made all the decisions without any help from Feds. I wonder if hes going to give back the cash that Trump released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if hes going to give back the cash that Trump released. Up front: if the Feds need to do more regarding airport screening, they need to get it done. Now, if Trump had done some of the things regarding closures, etc. that are in the states' jurisdiction as well....people like JB would be calling him a dictator.

cls74 Posted March 15, 2020 at 11:21 PM Share Posted March 15, 2020 at 11:21 PM Title should actually be bars closed and dining in restaraunts banned, or something to that affect. If capable, restaraunts could remain open and offer curbside pick up, drive thru if they have it or delivery. Not all can do it, but some could manage it.

cls74 Posted March 16, 2020 at 12:24 AM Share Posted March 16, 2020 at 12:24 AM Are they going to close the movie theaters also?I'm willing to bet yes on both theaters and public transportation. People aren't realizing that it's not that it's going to kill the majority who get it, it's that once infected you spread it and eventually it inundates the medical facilities and personell. If what they are saying is true and a million plus test kits will be available early this week, watch what the number will be next weekend. Last year if you broke a limb you'd be in a cast within hours. Now, once capacity is inundated your bones will likely start setting before an ex-ray is even able to be conducted. I'm not worried about contraction, but I don't want it. I'm more worried about being hurt at work in a week or two or in a vehicle crash due to someone texting and not being avle to get medical attention. I'm doing my part by staying at home and not going anywhere if not needed. It's a simple task, yet a lot do not understand the why's of things.

ragsbo Posted March 16, 2020 at 02:02 AM Share Posted March 16, 2020 at 02:02 AM I can't believe that he has the authority to close privately owned businesses. This should be pushed in the courts ans shut down! He is getting to be nothing but a fat dictator! (or at least his puppet masters are). Never let a crisis go to waste, abuse it to further their anti American agenda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tip Posted March 16, 2020 at 02:15 AM Share Posted March 16, 2020 at 02:15 AM Down in southern Illinois I believe I saw one town that opened the Boys/Girls Club to all the kiddos that were out of school. So, exactly what did closing the schools accomplish? How many parents will be dumping teens at a theater or mall to occupy their time? So instead of all the kiddos being in a controlled environment they’ll be congregating in uncontrolled environments.... Great move JB, great move.

Euler Posted March 16, 2020 at 03:04 AM Share Posted March 16, 2020 at 03:04 AM Down in southern Illinois I believe I saw one town that opened the Boys/Girls Club to all the kiddos that were out of school.

So instead of all the kiddos being in a controlled environment they’ll be congregating in uncontrolled environments.... Great move JB, great move. The point of closing schools is to keep kids from gathering in large numbers, since they're typically the ones that spread communicable diseases (e.g., influenza) from family to family. The idea is that, if they're not in school, they're at home or possibly gathering in small groups of friends. Opening a facility for "day care" of school kids accomplishes nothing. Maybe they'll convert it into a rave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
