Wow....

Yeah, DIA is never that empty. My goodness, this thing has really gotten ahold of people. But I suspect that it's going to make a far bigger dent in the global economy than the global population. 

What changes have you made? Personally, I have tickets to fly to San Francisco with my kids to see my brother in a couple of weeks. And, so far anyway, I plan to go. But I have to say I'm a little nervous about it, especially with my kids. Not as much about the virus as how people are panicking about it. A flight yesterday was rerouted to Denver because someone, um...sneezed. And I am narrowing in on some ridiculously priced tickets to Cancun in May. Am I crazy?

You are just a triggered never trumper.

You can’t run from the true meline. 

Russia hoax didn’t work.  Ukraine hoax didn’t work. So now you politicize a tragedy.

Is name calling now allowed?

Or does Jimmy not see this?


you instigated this by your reference to the NY left,  now enough already,  next one gets removed from the thread between you, al, and sticky.

I called the “the selfish new Yorker elite that are spreading the shit by refusing to stay home” democrats.  My NYS thread proves the democratic leadership pushed anti-Trump actions which ultimately caused NYS to be the epicenter.  

Which, btw, also takes away the fakes news media accounts blaming Trump pushed here.

And they called me a victim, deranged, and a victim.

Silly shit.  Buy again, I am not surprised at your take.  You don’t see the difference between attacking the failed NYS leadership and attacking a poster.

I dont give a shit what you are trying to say about who,  politicial shit isnt allowed on this board,  how is this so fucking hard to understand?  just walk away for a little while.  show some damn respect for the rest of the board that is using this thread to discuss the virus and not the finger pointing.   you have access to the other board,  keep this shit there.

Great, at a time where all Americans should be supporting each other, some go political and divisive on a Covid-19 thread.  Predictable posters as well.

So who I know directly or indirectly that has COVID-19:

  • A friend's Dad in Port St. Lucie, FL. On a ventilator, but word is he should be ok. Was on a cruise. 
  • A friend in San Diego who went out, partied and didn't do a damn thing right. She's sick right now
  • My son has 2 friends in Boulder that both have it (a couple) and he thinks he got it at Google-Boulder. They are young and barely showing symptoms.

Avg age of hospitalized is 63...

My wife, kid and I all have felt cruddy for a few days. Wifey has had a low grade the last few days and in her 60's so we're a bit jittery. But we also suffer from sinusitis, allergies this time of year. 

Its the lung, breathing symptom of Covid that really seems to set it apart. 

Hope your kid is ok soon.

Yes they do. They don't know why they like him though. I do, but I can't say it on this thread.

You could, but glad you didn't as it was about to go off the rails and Jimmy was hitting the JD at about 9:00 am.

a no on the JD,  you guys think I am an asshole normally,   you should see me when I am partying with Jack,  he is evil and brings out the absolute worst in me.  If I ever start drinking Jack again I will be divorced, in jail, and about everything else you would normally here in a country song.
