Coronavirus - What Happened?

Yes. But not all the guns and not from everyone.

Cool.
…did they confiscate them because they didn’t give a shit about whether the people they were confiscating from had guns… or because they did give a shit?

Which one makes more sense?

It’s ok, you can admit it. It wouldn’t mean that you are a racist redneck, I promise…

Oh I see (maybe)

You’re saying that no government gives a shit about the guns of the American citizens, and no government confiscates Americans’ guns… Well maybe you’re not a communist after all

I wasn’t interpreting ā€œyour gunsā€ so directly

We have a giant gun thread so I hate to continue to have this derailed so much. If any type of legislation about guns is communist then the vast majority of Americans when polled on the subject see commies.

I don’t even understand the question. Maybe it’s because you’re trying to have a gotcha moment. There have been different types of confiscation and for different reasons so I can’t answer a question that vague.

Fuuuuuuuuuck

So much for herd immunity.

It’s probably not worth trying to understand

I was trying to ā€˜negotiate’ with loppar but then h factor came in with ā€œwe don’tā€ while I wasn’t talking about the USA in the first place
So basically just replies and reactions at this point, good time to stop

I mean, I’m not gonna defend the CMO, but none of the U.K. plan is different from what was published in March. They said they’d try a less restrictive method unless things changed, which they did.

EVERY Italian newspaper is writing articles going crazy about New York’s mass graves in Hart island today. I don’t understand what the big deal is, and what’s ā€œshockingā€ or a scandal about it.

Every title be like, ā€œNew York—Shocking pictures: mass graves in Hart island due to coronavirusā€. If I were in the confession thread, I’d probably confess my hate for journalism. I feel like the one and only task of journalists is to put everything under magnifying lens and trying to make everything sound like a shocking scandalous news.

Mental health is handled atrociously in our state and I would assume the situation is the same around the country. A girl my wife used to attend school with might be alive if we handled it better.

We definitely need to do a better job with mental health. Virus or no virus.

Yep. It’s insanely hard to get a hospital bed in Kansas for mental health services. It’s long past time we viewed mental health as important as physical health. I can only hope that other states aren’t as shitty as we are in regards to this.

One of my clients just had his son commit suicide Tuesday morning. The mental health cost of this quarantine absolutely needs to be included when the post crisis analysis is done. This crisis affects every aspect and corner of society

Yep.

The good times ended quite abruptly, in a lot of different ways for a lot of different people.

A certain percentage of hardcore BJJ people have had their major coping mechanism for whatever their struggle was ripped out. I hope they are hanging in ok.

I’m just a hobbyist so I’m coping fine without training.

We are long overdue as a society for making changes in the mental health area. Maybe this crisis will help people realize the holes we have in our nations healthcare system.

I’m doing ok from a financial standpoint. I’m getting overtime pay we’re working so many hours over salary. But being away from people is tough for everyone. And collectively we weren’t very mentally healthy to begin with. It’s just not as apparent as our physical health issues.

There is a very simple explanation for this. It’s not a cause for other countries to be alarmed about the ability for this virus to be contained when proper measures are taken. It was all, as usual, a result of spellbinding stupidity.

I wonder what the true unemployment claims would look like if it were not for the extra cash.
I am a foreman and have been giving a lot of ā€œtemporary lay offsā€ as have others. Our Union is allowing members to do this both journeyman and apprentices ( which are now making the same as the journeyman)
