    Now now, @Rivoli. There's no need to be a bad sport. Although I had to crop and enlarge portions of your post so it would fit, you and I both know that I did NOT edit your post. C'mon now, own up to what you said. You're quite eager to ridicule people like @Gillman for his posts. Surely you can...

    @Rivoli on March 12: "It's over guys." Worldwise cases = 145.2K Four Weeks Later: Worldwide cases = 1.5 Million. @Rivoli on April 9: "I told you guys it was a nothingburger."

    Aaaaand the video's gone. (Putting on my tinfoil hat, its sudden disappearance suggests there was some truth to it, whatever it was.) What did the video say?

    Although this program doesn't apply to me, I'm all for everyone who pays into the system getting what they can. And why? It's because as entrepreneurs, you'll be expected to pay your "fair share" when the bill comes due. Or the bill will be passed on to your kids and grandkids. During the last...

    Medical quarantines have been part of Western Civilization for hundreds, possibly thousands of years. The only reason they seem "foreign" to us now is because this is the first time we're living through one personally.

    Quite true. You have supported freedoms the entire time, and normally I agree with you 100%. And you're right in that once a government asserts a power, they don't relinquish it lightly. Maybe part of the difference with me is that I fully support medical quarantines in times of a pandemic and...

    But in the meantime, he's allowed to walk around, knowingly spreading a highly contagious disease? This is silly. Do we let people walk around a school naked? Do we let people walk around cursing at strangers? Do we let people walk around spitting on people? The people in this idiot's vicinity...

    So what would you suggest? Bob is diagnosed with C0VlD-19 and refuses to stay home. What is your proposed solution?

    I see what you're saying, but the real problem here is that we're not allowed to deal with this one-on-one or as a local community. In reality, if you know your neighbor has C0VlD-19, and you see them wandering around the maternity ward, you should be able to drag them out and beat them...

    Regarding Making Infected People Wear Ankle Bracelets But is it really? Infected or exposed people have been violating quarantine from almost since the beginning -- going shopping, eating out, attending father-daughter dances, visiting maternity wards, etc. Too many people are selfish idiots...

    You don't find it shocking that a brand new illness -- something highly contagious that didn't exist until just a few months ago -- has infected at least a million people worldwide and is doubling at a pretty staggering rate? I can't say I'm terribly surprised, since I've been in the...

    Probably they learned from other countries that if you give people any notice, they'll use that warning time to flee the area, further spreading the disease.

    One thing I've found that works for this is antibacterial ointment (like Neosporin or the generic equivalent). It has a way of better seeping into the skin and healing those cracks and dry spots. You can use it during the day, or slather it on at night and cover it with a bandaid(s) while you...

    All of those stories really made my blood boil, and I really enjoyed your analysis of the situation. IMO, a lot of this stems from the fact that we're ruled by selfish, pompous idiots on nearly every level. In times of peace and plenty, their idiocy can be ignored and dismissed, whether it's...

    Alabama. On a related note, I just saw on the news that a bank employee was diagnosed as positive. Maybe that's part of it. Apparently, the employee's co-workers are now in quarantine. I suspect they're very low-staffed right now. BTW, this isn't a huge bank. It's a local/regional credit union...

    So today, I try to deposit some checks for my husband's biz. I tried three times and never actually succeeded in reaching a teller. (Thanks to the virus, they've gone pretty much to drive-thru only.) This is how long the line was when the bank closed, leaving everyone waiting out of luck. I...

    Selfishly, I hope you reconsider, because even though we don't quite agree on where this is going, you've added a lot to this thread, and it won't be the same without you. (Dammit.)

    Turns out, the guy who supposedly backed off from his estimate of 500 million deaths in the UK is standing by his original data. Basically, he's STILL saying that up to 500 million might still die if the UK doesn't do intensive social distancing and other public health interventions. Here's his...
