Covid-19 (not gnr related)

[Dr. Blutarsky]

Florida has finally issued stay at home orders.

Yep, last day of work for me is tomorrow.

Hopefully I get to keep the home I'm legally obligated to stay in.

Hope you and your family stay safe and healthy.

Thank you Tim_m. You do the same. I need someone around here to argue with from time to time 

Hopefully this thing only lasts a month or two.

[tim_m]

So Florida is including church as essential. What a tool.

This is fucking stupid. Personally I'm not very religious, but I dont believe anywhere does it say you can only pray to God in large groups in the same room.

 Its about the church and their income, not anyone faith or religious convictions. Why should their business continue as normal?  

Agreed, this is just needlessly risking lives not only of the parishioners but their families and anyone else they would come in contact with.

In just the last 24 hours more states have stay at home orders, Georgia, Florida which happened late yesterday. Mississippi and Nevada.

Thank you. Haha yes, there will be plenty of time for political debate as the election gets closer and this hopefully passes. Now is not the time to be political. I do not wish this on anyone regardless of their political affiliation or views. I don't even wish it on Trump himself as much as i dislike him.

Stay home, stay safe and stay healthy. This goes for everyone on this board as well.

This is just very sad. Why would anyone want to harm this brilliant man who giving us all the facts about covid-19 we need.

Agree 100%
Not religious either - but isn't religion and God one of the few things where you don't need a congregation of people to accomplish the goal anyway?

Yep they say god is everywhere, so why do we have to go to a special building to worship?

Weekly jobless report out and its awful. 6.6 million have filed for unemployment. 3.5 million more then expected.

Yep. A church and financial obligation isn't required to talk to your respective deity no matter what organized religion tells you.

I pray once in awhile as I'm the bad non practicing Catholic who doesn't buy in to all the BS rules  the church has set over the last 1000 years or so . Its between me, God and Jesus, we dont need a middleman.

Religious rant over.

Because the devout Fox News/Benghazi/WMD crowd is convinced he's working for the Clintons to undermine Trump.

Stay safe everyone!


Here in Sweden things are almost normal. Very little restrictions so far. Which is really weird considering what's going on elsewhere.

Is there toilet paper in Sweden??  Here in America, we apparently decided that toilet paper and bread would cure the virus, so there is none of either to be found anywhere!     That's hysteria for you.

Figure with the millions of restaurants shut down and livelihoods lost - at least those unfortunate folks who owned or managed them were able to raid the damn TP supplies - not exactly a perk but likely a reality.

I think we have toilet paper. All out of hand sanitizer though.

You have to imagine it's only a matter of time before it happens there.

Paper towels here too. We finally found a big double roll of bounty today.

Read today that the supermarkets are getting close but are still about 2-3 days behind this current demand for things like TP and PT - hopefully they catch up soon and have the storage to handle this because I think it will only get worse.

Plumbers and Drain De-cloggers must be ca$hing in big time right now.

[Dr. Blutarsky]

Ive been getting my TP and paper towels on auto ship by the case for years. I can still wipe my ass in April 2020.

At least Spring is upon us up here in the Northeast - the leaves should be nice and soothing
Winter would have been a little scratchy

Full disclosure:  I CONFESS JESUS CHRIST AS MY LORD AND SAVIOR. I attend mass almost every day.  I say the rosary almost every day. I pray continually throughout the day. It truly makes me feel good.

I truly believe that God wants me and everyone else to STAY THE FUCK HOME!!! Don't be gathering and spreading germs that possibly could kill someone else!!!  That's in the TOP TEN!!!  Situations like this is why God made TV and the internet!!! Those who want to can watch services of practically any faith, any time of the day or night.  (right now it's about 12:30 am and I am joyfully waiting to watch Pope Francis Private Mass From Santa Marta at 1am on EWTN)

If the reason you choose not to go to church is only because you believe they're all about the almighty dollar, IMHO, you weren't going for the right reason anyways.  It's not like taxes and death.  You don't have to give anything just because they say so.  But that being said, most of us easily pay a ridiculous amount of money to go to a concert or movie or to buy swag.  The money you give in church is like for mostly the same exact purposes:  overhead costs, salaries, and lawyers.

What do I believe God expects of us?  To quote Abe Lincoln:  Be excellent to one another and party on dudes!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGErt4CfLD0
