Nothing has changed in my life. I tend to stay home anyways. Don't really eat out to often so no big deal. Its that time of the year to do yard work and filled 48 bags of leaves over the last week. So now time to pressure wash the house and around the pool to get ready to enjoy the summers. Thinking about putting new flooring down in my bar, so that should help keep me busy also. Life goes on.

I didn’t mean fleeing because of the virus I meant because of the high taxes and all the other bs

March is still basically winter in half the country. Thanks for making me feel worse.

Oh I know. Sorry if that came off as disregarding your point. I’m just shocked folks are allowed to leave. Blows my mind.

Of course you would, since it explains the index you are clueless about

Yes Joan,

Have you ever heard of Johns Hopkins University?

Or their Center for Health Security which produced the year-long comprehensive global study?

Or are you one of those anti-science, anti-intellectual types who rejects the data when it conflicts with your worldview?

No I didn’t take it that way, just wanted to clarify.

I think the city should be locked down for sure. I’m a little over an hour north of the city and we are getting a ton of people from the city filling our hotels and rentals. My county is starting to really increase in the number of cases.

This reminds me of a team being ranked #1 in the top 25 preseason poll and then shitting the bed first game of the season.

He was.

You should try to emulate some of his better qualities.

When even the liberal members (like me) think you’re acting like a troll, you might want to rethink your schtick.
