I'm linking just the wiki page for the basics. People can google their own respective states rules. People are asking why can't we just add more beds to hospitals to fight this virus? The simple answer is in most states (35 I believe) you can't without permission from legislation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Certificate_of_need Good point. Nothing like barriers of entry to protect the established business and cut down on the benefits of a free market. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The total ban makes no sense...but I could see the state shutting down fishing at public areas I suppose. Places like public piers and such. Hard for them to really impose such a ban on private water/land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been on the fence about the origin of this but I believe strongly that china developed this in a laboratory, and it either escaped by accident and wasnt meant to be released in china or they intentionally released it and it got out of control.

My friend and I were bass fishing one night when I hooked a pretty nice bass. The fish ended up breaking my line. Later on my friend hooked a bass and landed it. We always kept a few fish to eat and that night it was Bill's turn to keep them. The next morning Bill called me and told me the bass he caught had three softcraw, a baby catfish and the texas rig from me in it's stomach.

And I think that's just the tip of the mental health iceberg we're facing... I'm not unsympathetic to the plight of individuals who contract COVID-19 at all, but we'd better balance this out or it'll be worse than having the pandemic run its course unabated... It's also important to remember that the alternative would also bring depression, drug addiction, etc. There's no way to know exactly how many lives social distancing will ultimately save, but it will be a lot. And losing a loved one also triggers mental health problems. Not to mention the PTSD that is likely to follow for our frontline healthcare workers.

mrflynn03 Posted March 31, 2020 Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 I'm starting to think the daily pressers are doing more harm than good. We will likely have a mental health crisis over this and throwing out predictions like the "experts" are, which are just educated guesses anyway, is just scaring people further. A weekly press release, or presidential address from the oval office should be enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A weekly press release, or presidential address from the oval office should be enough. Personally appreciate the daily Presidential press conferences. I have read on line that some want them to close. But, I learn a lot. For instance. Mike from My Pillow was at the WH for yesterday's PC. And announced he will be making masks. Current production is 10,000 per day. And expects to up that to 50,000 per day by week's end. The lady who run Jockey, says they will be making surgical gowns.. distributing them to hospitals.... and has set aside a $10 million dollar fund for any of her employees that need additional monetary help. This is great stuff to learn. And something I love to learn about. In the mile household. My wife is at Costco, as I type this. Needed medication pickup. Called the order in a couple of days ago. And was told they were opening up the pharmacy two hours early, on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays for elder citizens. Americans doing their part. Stay safe Hoosier Sports Nation. Prayers going out to you from the mile household. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lostin76 Posted March 31, 2020 Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 Subway and Bus Riders Face Crowded Conditions in NYC Neither my wife or I have had to ride the subway for two weeks now. Every day we tell ourselves out loud how lucky we are to be able to work remotely. So many people still have to report to work and the MTA has slashed service. Wait times are increased, so crowds then build up in the stations between trains. Full disclosure, these photos are not nearly as bad as our normal rush hour commutes, but there are still WAY too many people crowded onto subs. Yesterday, I watched a bus go by on a main artery near our house and it was packed, people standing. I know it sounds melodramatic, but for a moment it just looked like animals being led to the slaughter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I'm different, but I watch them to be more informed..... Now the daily Governors pressers, that's different. Where I live, we get Kaintucky, Indiana, plus Illannoy for crying' out loud.....

I DO feel sorry for those that need to, in order to continue to make a living. The public transportation system here in Denver has gone to the Sunday schedule. For weekdays. Considerably reduced due to the lessened need. Just wondering. Can the subway service in NYC run more trains.... in order to lessen the congestion of each train ? Not sure if you know. Just thinking.

mrflynn03 Posted March 31, 2020 Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 Not only are doctors and nurses on the front lines of this but how about an acknowledgement and prayers for our first responders. Indy Star has an article saying 12 police officers and 9 firefighters have tested positive. Would be tough having too many on quarantine at one time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a damned if you do, damned if you don't for governments from local, state, and federal... No matter what they do, some people will lose, some will win, and depending upon your own personal circumstance is how you'll view it...
