  1. I'm sorry for that business owner that he doesn't understand the risks he poses to the community by having people indoors, in an enclosed space, breathing heavily while in proximity to each other. He's probably a great business owner, but he's a lousy epidemiologist, since those are ideal conditions for the virus to spread among people. That's high droplet output.

  2. I applaud the restaurant that's remaining take-out only for the time being. Until the virus is gone, it's risky for people of different households to be indoors together for more than 10-15 minutes and then only when everyone keeps their masks on.

  3. Spreading disease during a public health emergency, all because you've got cabin fever. Hope the judge tosses the book at those fools.

  4. Oh look. People without masks, gathering close together in public in a group. Just what the coronavirus likes. Three weeks from now, when they're hacking their lungs out, will they remember this moment of negligent stupidity? Probably not. Oh, and BIG THANKS to these twats for potentially infecting others just to feed their vanity.

  5.  @mawlinzebra  Tell that to the people of New Zealand, you Most Holy Dumbass. How effing ignorant can you be?

  6. Are there no adults in San Diego to explain to these deluded whacktards that there's a very serious public health emergency these days? In lieu of that, I hope the authorities throw the book at them. Maximum possible penalty for public endangerment. If they deliberately spit at or cough on anyone, add bioterrorism to the charges. Sheesh.

  7. Damn .. rest in peace, friend .. I build single track and ride it solo all the time.

  8. This is how it needs to be everywhere. Masks & distancing lets us run businesses without exposing people to needless risk of catching the virus. Some types of businesses are not safe to run yet, but many are .. farming, logging, outdoors resource extraction .. retail and restaurants with curbside service .. office work from home .. and so on. Put on your ingenuity hats, people, we're Americans and we've pulled the rabbit out of the hat many times before.

  9.  Lancemus Blanco  I'm very sorry for you that you could mistake a genuine public health emergency with the instantiation of a police state. Sounds like you're the one who's brainwashed. You drew a false equivalency and then tried to use it as the basis for making a point. But that's typical for Trumptards. I'm all for letting the whacktard conservatives start up their own Slab City type dwelling far out in the desert, where they can pretend the virus doesn't exist. Without medical care, the mortality rate would be around 15%-20%. Smart people learn from other folks' mistakes - ordinary people learn from their own mistakes - and stupid people never learn.

  10. Good luck with that. The virus spreads primarily between people from different households spending time together indoors.

  11. Hate to break the bad news, but people from different households can't be in public indoor places (even if everyone keeps their masks on) safely for longer than maybe 10-15 minutes. The sit-down restaurant model is going to be in hibernation until a vaccine is out. Unless maybe every booth can be in its own shielded plexiglass partition with a big powered overhead vent sucking out the air. Sadly this is just going to spread the virus further :(

  12. In Wisconsin they're already tracing new outbreaks back to the anti-lockdown protests. So much derp. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/coronavirus-wisconsin-protests-test-positive-department-of-health-services-a9509486.html

  13. @Carl Klinkenborg As someone once famously said - Americans will do the right thing, but not until all other possibilities have been exhausted. Like these fine people, who don't understand that the virus went away just because they got bored: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/wisconsin-bars-supreme-court-stay-at-home-strikes-down/

  14. @Jack Stefan Good thing I have time on my hands to explain basic things to the whackjobs of the right. If you're so convinced this thing is a hoax, then go to New York to work in a front line hospital. That should cure you of whatever mental illness keeps you from seeing things as they are. As of April 1, the US had 5,102 dead. 24 days later that number is 54,256 dead. Why are you so eager for more Americans to die from this thing?

  15. @Jack Stefan You're still wrong on all counts, including where I am and what my political affiliation is. Gosh, you're dense. Nebraska currently has the highest percentage case rate acceleration in the country .. and it's farmland. Actually most of the states that didn't lock down are now spiking in growth rates. It's almost as if (wait for it) there's a highly communicable disease going around.

  16. Actually the government has a mandate to protect your life - even if you are personally too dumb or impatient to realize the potential dangers of a disease.

  17. In Wisconsin they're already tracing new outbreaks back to the anti-lockdown protests. This is precisely what all the adults in the room predicted would happen. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/coronavirus-wisconsin-protests-test-positive-department-of-health-services-a9509486.html

  18. @Jack Stefan Still wrong. What kind of a reward do you deserve by being so stupid? You're like the sort of moron who would say there's no such thing as climate change because it's [insert favorite weather] where you are. At the moment. Go read the news from Italy or NY or any of those closed meat plants if you need a clue about how the disease spreads.
    2
  19. @Jack Stefan Allow me to kick your empty head around a bit. You said "Statistically speaking, none of them will contract it". Cali had 9,807 cases on 4/1. Now it's got 42,596 just 24 days later. Have you ever heard of this cool thing called doubling time? Di you know that the virus spreads through (wait for it) people getting close to each other without wearing masks?

  20. I'm sorry for that business owner that he doesn't understand the risks he poses to the community by having people indoors, in an enclosed space, breathing heavily while in proximity to each other. He's probably a great business owner, but he's a lousy epidemiologist, since those are ideal conditions for the virus to spread among people. Indoors setting, heavy breathing = high output of droplets and aerosolized virus. Even with distancing that's very risky and produces a high rate of spread.
    2
  21.  @shovelcharge  Wrong. Opening a disease-spreading commercial location IS a risk to the public. California's outbreak started in a nail salon, of all places. This is why bars and restaurants have been closed all around the world. Have you been asleep for the last 4 months, is that why you're not aware of how this disease spreads?
    2
  22.  @shovelcharge  Oh and for the record I already am unemployed, so I do volunteer work outdoors to keep busy. I am OK with losing the car and going broke over this, because I can recover from that, whereas no one has recovered from being dead from the virus.
    2
  23.  Lancemus Blanco  Ooooh, did you get "triggered"? Your poor hurt feelings.
    2
  24.  Lancemus Blanco  Let me tell you how great Trump is. As of April 10th, America had 18,747 dead of the covid-45 virus. Just a month later that number is at 80,787. More than died in the Vietnam war that he got 5 draft deferments to avoid. Keep telling yourself how 'great' that is.

  25. Personally, I love the sight of whacktard conservatives gathering without masks or distancing during a deadly pandemic. While society may bear the brunt of their medical costs, burial, and raising their children, in the end the IQ of society in general will rise due to the departure of the dumbest. I lift a cup of coffee in their honor.

  26. @Jack Stefan My bad. In California it's referred to as "reckless endangerment" not "public endangerment". The wording must have confused you.

  27. Funny, I expected to see more protesters in this video, but my contacts in Cali told me that a lot of them are at home now with some strange dry cough, aches, and a fever. Meh.
    1
  28. They're going to have to let visitors stay only so long at maximum - perhaps a week? - so they get put on the plane back home before they start developing a headache, fever, and that dry cough that just keeps getting worse. On the plus side, beachfront property will be cheaper in Cali after the plague burns itself out.

  29. Arrest these f*cktards, throw the maximum penalty at them for willful public endangerment during a grave public health emergency. It took the USA only 23 days to go from 5,000 deaths to over 50,000 deaths. And these kooks want to protest? The stupid, it burns.
    1
  30. Those schmuck moron protesters? Gobsmack them with the maximum penalty for public endangerment. Find an adult patient enough to explain to those 'tards that there's a dangerous public health emergency happening.

  31. @Jack Stefan Once again you choose to parade your ignorance for all to see. Even plain, non-N95 masks significantly cut down on one person sharing their droplets with another - and that's how this thing primarily spreads. Here are the actual numbers for how dangerous the regular flu is - and that's something we have vaccines and partial herd immunity to. https://www.worldlifeexpectancy.com/cause-of-death/influenza-pneumonia/by-country/ Numbers are in deaths per 100K. Italy's flu deaths are typically 8.15 per 100K .. but for corona their death rate is 43.6 per 100K and rising every day. The USA is normally at 14.91 flu deaths from the flu, but we're already at 16.4 corona deaths and rising. Do you not have any ability to use the net to gather actual facts to inform your beliefs or something?
    1
  32. @Jack Stefan More perspective along the same lines. NY state is already at 111.7 deaths per 100K from corona. This may sound cruel, but I believe you would be doing society a favor by going out and licking convenience store door handles and shopping cart handles. Sanitize these things afterwards please. Your departure will lift humanity's IQ a tiny bit.

  33. Coronavirus likes this. People from different households gathered together indoors for more than 15 minutes at a time.

  34.  @shovelcharge  Divide the confirmed deaths by the confirmed infections and you get around 6% here in the USA. Learn how to do math or learn how not to get your "facts" from crackpot sources.
    1
  35.  @mawlinzebra  You seem completely & blithely aware of how New Zealand accomplished that, f-face. On the day they locked down, they had 28 cases. After that it was test-trace-isolate. Whereas over here we've got some states that never locked down at all, some states with thousands of new cases per day when they locked down, and no controls on people flying from NYC to spring break to Kansas. But you didn't know any of that, did you?
    1
  36.  @mawlinzebra  Since you've expressed your ignorance so profoundly - do you think the record # of deaths and infections in NY had anything to do with the way they didn't lock down until they were seeing something like around 6,000+ new cases per day?
    1
  37.  @bugman9787  Well, when the things you do spread virus to other people, you must remember that your rights end where theirs begin, and vice versa.
    1
  38.  @bugman9787  If you think it is OK for you to contract the disease asymptomatically, then spread it all over just because you think this is a conspiracy to steal your freedumbs, then maybe you're OK with someone wafting a little sarin gas your way when you're out shopping. What's that? You don't like it when you're on the receiving end of someone else's bad choices?
    1
  39.  @bugman9787  As usual you can't open your mouth without disinformation and false dichotomies. My former workplace is closed and probably won't reopen for a year. So I do volunteer work - the outdoors kind, under the sun and the fresh air. Unless you're a farmer you spend more time indoors than I do. Anyway, if you are OK with the thought of randomly infecting other people just because you have to pretend things are normal when they clearly aren't, maybe someone covid-afflicted person will let loose a big sneeze on you when you venture outside. Can't say I'd disprove of the karma. Clearly you can't handle someone doing to you what you would like to do to others. How you manage to vote and drive with a dysfunctional a brain, I'll never know.

  40.  @bugman9787  You should try using the actual numbers sometime .. then you would know that 9 days after Alabama re-opened on 5/21, Montgomery ran out of ICU beds - https://www.alreporter.com/2020/05/20/montgomery-hospitals-are-out-of-icu-beds-mayor-says/ - meaning they had a latent infection rate that was completely unknown to them.

  41.  @cm-pr2ys  You are correct. Unfortunately. I've been watching the dailies out of Wisconsin and they're already in the range of more than 2x what they were on the day the state supreme court struck down the stay-at-home orders as unconstitutional (5/13) and people began flooding into bars.
    1
  42.  @haveanicedave1551  Hey twat. There was once a time when New York had less than 100 deaths too. Are you eager for California to become the next New York type hotspot? Because that's what happens without masks & distancing. You think this virus went away just because you got cabin fever?
    1
  43. @Jack Stefan That's because this thing is something that goes "viral", if you get my meaning. Do you know the meaning of the word "viral"?
    1
  44. @Jack Stefan Let's do some numbers. At the end of 4/1, Cali had 9,807 confirmed cases and 210 deaths. At the moment it's got 43,703 confirmed cases and 1,720 deaths. Would you say things have gotten better or worse since 4/1?
    1
  45. @Jack Stefan If by age and conditions you are trying to imply that some American lives are worth more than others, don't go there. America leads the way in cases and deaths.
    1
  46. @Jack Stefan Of course it is not an automatic death sentence. Even you will have noted that the CFR is under 100%. But feel free to prove me wrong .. go lick some convenience store door handles and sanitize them afterwards, or hang out with those loons protesting health measures - get close to them, breathe deeply, and don't wear a mask. If this thing is as minor as you claim it is, there's nothing to worry about. But I doubt you are able to put your money where your mouth is. Your kind never is.
    1
  47. @Jack Stefan Call me back in two months, if you're still above ground then and not on a ventilator. Just because you can't see the virus doesn't mean it's not there.
    1
  48. @Jack Stefan You seem to act like it's not there, but as far as we know, this whole thing started with just one (1) person in Wuhan being the initial case. So the story in Cali (or wherever you are) isn't over until it's over.
    1
  49. @Jack Stefan Who's hiding under a bed? Are you projecting again? Most of the time I go out to the woods, but if I have to be in stores I wear a mask and gloves.

  50.  Lancemus Blanco  That's possibly the stupidest false equivalence I've ever seen from a Trumptard. He's not qualified to be the town dog catcher, let alone wash dishes. He was bought years ago with Russian money. Having him in power just means more Americans will die from the virus. You must be some strange kind of traitor if you want to see lots more Americans die.
