They are doing it on purpose. These people are agents... carrying out a mission.

I love James Woods and follow him on Twitter, but sometimes I think he goes off into Alex Jones land a bit. There is no indication of where or when some of those video clips were taken. Take off the tinfoil hats people... FTLOG

I wasn't offering up any solutions. I was making an observation.

Oh. Well then, I guess I misunderstood him. I thought he was suggesting I was suggesting some kind of enforced compliance.

Btw: My assertions are provably true. We've seen more than enough evidence of that in these pages.

I honestly have no idea. I don't know what ever gave anybody the idea I thought I did.

I agree with Sigmonkey's observations: Those disinclined to comply with common sense recommendations will only become more obstreperous if one attempts to force compliance--even if the one attempting to force such compliance is Darth Ensigmatic

I'm not certain what point you (and, I guess, Sigmonkey?) are trying to make. That one shouldn't make observations of human behaviour unless they have a solution for effecting change in that behaviour?

Luckily in most areas, curbside pickup is an option, but I wouldn't count on that everywhere.

Likely call the store to make an exception or do minimal planning to 'plan ahead', but it will keep the majority of the 'herd' out of the stores.

I doubt the have time to field such phone calls, and making exceptions will invite the scorn of those who "follow the rules."

I do understand the problem they're trying to address. Perhaps a rule that all persons under age X must be in the presence of their guardian at all times would be a better approach.

I will forgo hazarding a guess at how effective that's likely to be, lest I be challenged to come up with a solution, again

I guess our point, at least mine, is that you continue to state your opinion about the need for something that you yourself acknowledge is not going to happen....over....and over....and over. If people are not going to change their hygiene habits or any of the other things you suggest why keep coming in this thread and beating that horse? We all got it, it would help a lot but won't happen, now what?

I have no answer for that, but you did mention something that stuck with me: I've been prolific in this thread. I think maybe it's time I took a break from it. So I believe I will.

Am I reading this right? NJ governor says business must send them an inventory of PPE, which they will then take.

Not buy, take.


Murphy signed an executive order last week requiring businesses throughout the state to provide the state with an inventory of the supplies and equipment they have. His latest order gives Callahan to authority to commandeer supplies and equipment that hasn’t been donated.

“We all certainly hope that Pat doesn’t have to use this authority. We would hope that folks will step forward and do the right thing,” Murphy said Thursday. “But if need be, we will use this authority.”

Curious.

Notice how all these leftist, tyrannical governors and progressive lawmakers are using the Wuhan to condition the country to become more accustomed to socialist policies and realities. Citizens harrassed for just walking around, millions out of work and dependent on Big Brother, the government seizing assets, items like bread and toilet paper being rationed, the government determining who's essential and who's not....

Tomorrow. I say end this tomorrow. I guess everyone should be grateful I'm not in charge because I would be handling this like Sweden.

Today we went from being urged to stay at home to being ordered to.(With some exceptions)

Gov. Bill Lee on Thursday ordered Tennesseans to stay home amid growing concerns that residents were not heeding his earlier call to do their part to combat the spread of coronavirus.

Lee's altered approach comes just days after issuing an executive order that urged Tennesseans to stay home. The new course, he said, comes after data indicates an uptick in travel in recent days, despite the worsening pandemic.

The governor signed his latest executive order Thursday with it immediately taking effect. It will last through at least April 14.

It largely reflects an executive order signed on Monday, with only minor changes. It mandates the continued closure of non-essential businesses.

Essential businesses include grocery stores, pharmacies, gas stations and medical facilities. Financial institutions also are allowed to remain open.

It is unclear whether Lee's latest action will demonstrably alter Tennesseans' daily lives, given the latest mandate does not narrow down a long list of acceptable activities. Outdoor activities such as golf, tennis, swimming and other recreational sports are still allowed, as long as individuals aren't congregating. There are no limitations on Tennesseans' ability to drive anywhere.

I have a whole list of words I have learned from my decade on this forum. One that seems particularly germane to our collective predicament, and one that describes my visit to Home Depot today, is:

Insouciance: Casual lack of concern; indifference.

If I didn’t have a cockroach problem in a property to deal with, I wouldn’t be there myself. Lots of people congregating in the store.

Or be like Laredo Texas and fine someone $1000 for not wearing a facemask.

It will be interesting to see what happens in Sweden over the next few weeks. Their doubling time is longer than that of many other countries pre-lockdown (just looking at the graph, it looks like every 7-8 days), but so far, they are still experiencing pretty consistent exponential growth.
