    I hope you're right about the reduction in death rate Rivoli. But this is far from a "nothing burger." Even if it ended today and there were no more deaths, this would still be far from a nothing burger. Of course, if you really feel it is a nothing burger - you can go tell those who have...

    Not to mention short sighted and stupid. The insurance companies will simply turn around and raise premiums/rates and likely spread the pain across all types of policies moving forward. If the government regulators try to push back, the insurance lobby kings will swoop in and say - hey we did...

    March 30, 5:12 a.m.: The Florida Department of Transportation has put up checkpoints for drivers entering from Georgia on I-95. Gov. Ron DeSantis issued the checkpoints to prevent drivers coming from coronavirus hot spots from entering Florida. Camden County leaders have also put up checkpoint...

    If we have a Summit in 2020, I'd sure like to hear how some of our more established leaders navigated the C0VlD-19 impacts. I have no doubt there will be important lessons learned there.

    Yesterday an Amber Alert was sent out in NE Florida advising anyone over 65 to remain indoors. This was very odd, as if some wave of flu virus was about to pass over the city. Making it even more odd, other than no "in" dining, large crowds and social events, we are not under some of the...

    @JAJT - for the record, I'm 100% onboard with NOT letting this thread degrade into name calling. Overall, we've done a good job of that - with some exceptions - and folks have even apologized and admitted they let their emotions get in the way. So please don't take this wrong, but I remember...

    It's funny how the important stuff recirculates. I quoted ADM Stockdale somewhere around pages 80ish. Here it is again. This is such an important mind set. We can't stress this enough!

    Gyms are closed... fitness equipment delivery service?

    Mount the gear in a trailer that has HVAC. The trailer can be rigged with UV lighting so that between customers you can wipe all the equipment down then flood the trailer with UV. Maybe have a trailer with weights and another with cardio equip? But sanitation is going to be the major concern...

    I've always viewed this as a team effort. Yes, I have that responsibility - but as one person there's only so much I can do. However, as a member of a society - we can collectively provide greater safety and security. Our government is how that is done...or at least, should be done. I have...

    Thank you - that is a very thought provoking answer indeed. I'm serious, not being a smart a$$ in my response. You've set me to some deep dive internal thinking.

    Timmy, I'm sorry but this is going to sound more harsh than I intend... in this battle we are all equal. I'm wishing every infected person well, even the politicians.

    @Kak I'm curious why you feel this way. I'd like to believe we'd do the right thing, but what I'm experiencing from different groups of our society leads me to question this. I don't want to read the wrong thing into your statement, so would you please expand? Thanks

    Why do you think there are so few of us in this forum? ...relatively speaking. The vast majority of people in the world are sidewalkers and slowlaners. Granted some of us are still stuck in the slowlane, but we've taken on a Fastlane mentality and will escape. If the world wasn't full of such...

    My unsexy side gig - scrapping ewaste and other recyclables is NOT doing well. Still plenty of stuff available to pick up BUT scrap prices are cratering and most of the yards are shutting down (no place to sell). Some "inventory" can be stockpiled but many don't have the room for this. Like...

    But it's not "indefinite." The idea behind social distancing and shelter in place is to flatten the infection curve so medical facilities can try to keep up until the vaccine is available (12-18 months). The combination of vaccinations and exposure/survivor related immunities will eventually...

    The shame of it is that there is plenty to go around IF people would stop hoarding and wasting critical resources. N95 masks are a perfect example. Most people don't need a mask. But so many, either ignorant or misinformed, want them. The result is insufficient supplies where they are needed.
