I completely agree with Trump's federal guidelines. His team took a medically sound approach, not rushed. It might take a bit longer but he's doing it the right way imo.And Trump just said we might make this longer...
Trump's guidelines for reopening country show it could take a while
President Trump announced new federal guidelines on Thursday for the easing of social distancing orders put in place to slow the spread of the coronavirus, leaving their implementation and timing up to state governors.www.yahoo.com

Wow, just wow. I'm going to say this as nicely as I can being someone that has gained a lot of value from this forum over the last few years. I can see that people with TDS are not the only ones starting to suffer from a bit of political derangement over this crisis. I'm starting to see views like this expressed from both sides where people are starting to view this virus as a political weapon that has been sent to attack "their side". I know we are in an election year, but this is not a red vs blue issue imo. I hope people can focus on encouraging their leaders to remain united and do what is right for the health and economic wellbeing of the public and we can get this under control. After that happens would be the best time to go back to worrying about the election imo. I don't think whoever released this virus in China (accidentally or otherwise) cared much whether a D or R wins the next election in the USA.
yea it’s been like that for the past 35 pages or soI consider myself a pretty informed person that can see both sides of arguments, read and interpret data, come to logical conclusions and have empathy towards all. But I just want to say that I have no F*cking clue what you guys are arguing about in this thread anymore. Seriously many of these posts make no sense to me at all. There’s no knowledge being exchanged and this is just a shit show.
Hi @ChrisV do you have any stats regarding the spread of coronaviris in Africa. The mainstream media doesn't cover this often. Thanks, keep up the awesome researchyea it’s been like that for the past 35 pages or so

I heard part of the speech last night, would love if someone would put it down on paper so we know what's happening...I used to think this thread was the best place to go for info on the virus. Everybody posting different viewpoints, articles, and all around having a decent discussion. I'm not sure what it's turned into now. Seems like a big circle jerk of "government and media suck".
Why isn't anybody talking about how we open back up? There are a lot of unknowns to this virus. It seems like it sucks to get and it attacks other organs. I know I don't want to get it and I'm young and healthy. I don't want to go to the hospital. Overrun or not. Honestly it's disappointing what this thread has come to. Does wearing masks become the new norm? What did South Korea do to stop the spread of this? Taiwan? Aren't entrepreneurs supposed to be problem solvers?

Does wearing masks become the new norm?
“It hasn’t been proven that distributing masks to the public protects people,” said Daniel Koch, head of communicable diseases at the Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH), at a press conference on March 17.
Koch has repeatedly expressed his opposition to the widespread wearing of protective masks in the population. In an interview with Swiss public television, SRF, on March 27 he said that wearing a mask could even give people a false sense of security.
“It’s clear that, wearing a mask, you feel you are better protected. And that probably results in some people paying less attention to other precautionary measures – they wash their hands less, touch their mask and face more, don’t keep their distance,” he said.
What did South Korea do to stop the spread of this? Taiwan?

Online videos going from 11% to 51% across generations is pretty amazing (and I'm sure would be less than 11% in older than boomers).anyway... a few cool infographics
More dismissal of people you don't agree as some self appointed noble authority. I think your posts are a circle jerk of boot licking and media loving.I'm not sure what it's turned into now. Seems like a big circle jerk of "government and media suck".
Well that’s likely due to the difficulty of getting books.It's honestly sad that books never rose much above 20% in any generation though.
Who said I disagree? The last thirty pages of this thread have been nearly worthless.View attachment 32263

Just because you call us all crazy doesn't make your position correct.
This thread has gotten off-topic multiple times, but generally, cooler heads have prevailed. There was my own pointless spat with Kak, Rivoli's stupid dick-measuring contest, and then the political clusterfuck on Wednesday. Nevertheless, the thread has come back to its original purpose each time and still has plenty of value.I used to think this thread was the best place to go for info on the virus.

I'm curious. What's your solution? If you're in charge how do you handle this situation?
Are you going to overthrow the government? Start a news company that isn't biased?
Because the government sucks so bad how are you taking control of your situation? Packing plants are closing and dairy farmers are dumping milk. What happens when the country of cheap, plentiful food isn't so much anymore?
Edit: @Kak have you read my posts on this topic?
Lots of businesses will go belly up, and that's a lot of new opportunities to expand if you have the eye for them.
I feel the same. I was already working on a new online entertainment business before this even started. The first product is about 60% complete.I feel that I am in a lucky and unique position right now
I'm interested to see how everything plays out in Sweden. Seems to be similar to what you're thinking.My answer is the same it has always been. Let capitalism and profit motives work through the problem.
What does that mean? People go back to work carefully, by choice. High risk individuals can take greater precautions, by choice. We live with our decisions. Nothing by force.
I was also talking with another Fastlaner yesterday and he was telling me about how "zoom lighting" is now a thing and how a random lighting company was able to pivot, target that keyword, repurpose their products and marketing for people looking for "zoom lighting" and really tap this brand new market that did not exist at all two months ago. How many other opportunities are currently available? Probably hundreds..........
But one thing is certain, if all you do is read/watch the news and fixate on how shitty the current situation is, you are going to miss the opportunities you might have.
