    If half the country wore one of these, the mask argument would be over in two seconds.

    Seems that no one says anything to me...lol. one guy said, you're either packing or crazy...I replied, "DO YOU WANTA FIND OUT?"....He walked away...lol
     


     

     

    This liberal would love it. The more people who wear masks, the quicker this ***** is over with. I'd like to watch a kickoff in September.

    That’s exactly what this is about, and he’s hiding behind the pathetic ‘if it saves just one life’ nonsense....

     

    Somehow all this terrible risk is fine for doctors, nurses, dentists, nursing home staff, flight crews, bus drivers, etc......but we need to trash our education system rather than expect teachers to adapt.  

     

    Pretty ***** you guys think a teacher, specifically this one, a Bills fan brethren, wants to sit home and collect checks. You should both be ashamed. Teachers have done a fantastic job since this crap started in March and should be applauded. Absolutely pathetic statements by the both of you.

    Your reason article even states this...

     

    Most the evidence so far suggests that people who recover from a COVID-19 coronavirus infection do, at least for a time, develop immunity to the microbe. If that's true, what is the disease-induced herd immunity threshold for the COVID-19 coronavirus? Various epidemiologists offer different answers, depending upon their estimates for the disease's R0 and other variables, but most have converged on a threshold at around 60 to 70 percent.

     

    That article seems to be based on the sciencedaily study - haven't had time to check out the mdnewstoday one. The study seems interesting - I'll give it a read when I had a chance. Thanks.

    I think Trump wins in a landslide, the curtain has been pulled back and the dems have been exposed for the socialist/marxists that they are.

     

    They allowed the riots and destruction, they killed grandmas, and violated our trust with the extended shutdowns.

     

    That is not what most Americans want. 6.5 million background checks Jan 01, 2020 til April 30 2020, those are new Trump voters, because the old trump voters already had their "arsenals".

     

     

    How many are asymptomatic or testing positive for antibodies?

     

    How many hospitalizations/deaths, or are we not talking about that?

     

    Just throwing out the big numbers from all the testing to incite panic.

     

    a percentage  of the population has to get corona to reach HIT (herd immunity threshold) which is estimated at 20-40% is anyone tracking that number?

     

    Lets go with 30% that means 98,400,000 Americans have to test positive before we are at the HIT. With 3.2 million testing positive we are at 3.2%

     

     

    I think scientists agree herd immunity for covid would be in the 65-75% range for exposures to the virus.

     

    As to hospitalizations and deaths in LA, their hospitalizations are climbing, and as we have seen, deaths are a lagging indicator so get back to me in a month.

     

    I just find it interesting they are the first state to "respike."

    This was a typed form, distributed by Wawa, Inc. to the branch I go to occasionally.

     

    Legit.

     

     

    Interesting. Found this on a quick Google. I missed that Fed Reserve announcement.

     

    https://www.wfla.com/mobile/wawa-asks-customers-to-use-exact-change-amid-nationwide-coin-shortage/

     

    The plea comes after the Federal Reserve announced a nationwide coin shortage, saying shutdown orders have significantly disrupted the supply chain and normal circulation for quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies.

     

    “In the past few months, coin deposits from depository institutions to the Federal Reserve have declined significantly and the U.S. Mint’s production of coin also decreased due to measures put in place to protect its employees. Federal Reserve coin orders from depository institutions have begun to increase as regions reopen, resulting in the Federal Reserve’s coin inventory being reduced to below normal levels,” the central bank said in a statement.

     

    Wawa is letting customers round up purchases to the nearest dollar so they can donate to local charities through The Wawa Foundation. The chain says 100% of all donations will go to charity.

    Not defending UAL but how much of the $8.6B in stock buys was still held in Feb of this year?

     

    Not sure. In general I don't have a huge issue with buybacks because it increases the value of the company thus increasing shareholder prices for 401Ks, etc. The $5 billion bailout irks me way more.

     

    $5 billion / 36,000 jobs is $138,888 / person UAL got from the government. I am sure there are a few hundred small businesses who were unable to get PPP loans that would have used that money to keep employees on the payroll.

    I dont work in the DOJ, so again I don't know, and neither do you. But feel free to keep ignoring all of it. 

     

     

    If I was ignoring it I would not have an opinion on it. I'm not ignoring it. I think it's Trump using right wing media to rile up his base. It there was a there there, there would be indictments. Trump might only have a few months left... 

  8. If we went cashless conservatives could stop bitching about Obama's pallet of cash he sent to Iran. That would be a positive. 

     

    Realistically, though, to go cashless would take decades of coordination between all levels of government. The federal government cannot even coordinate with itself at this point. 

     

    All things considered, I do agree a cashless society gets us closer to a dystopia than a utopia. I also see no problem with private businesses being credit/card only because of Covid-19.

    So never mind the HUGE Junteenth celebration in Tulsa the day before the trump rally.

     

    https://www.tulsajuneteenth.org/

     

    I don't see a mask in the place

     

     

     

    There was not a Juneteenth event in 2020. Those pictures are from 2019. Directly from the link you posted...

     

    On behalf of the Tulsa Juneteenth Inc. Board of Directors and the collaborative Planning Committee, we would like to extend a heart-felt thank you for your commitment to making Tulsa Juneteenth 2019 a successful event.

     

    Due to CDC recommendations to prevent spreading COVID-19, and uncertainty about large public gatherings in the near term, the Tulsa Juneteenth Planning Committee has made the difficult decision to postpone the annual Juneteenth celebration to June 18-20, 2021.

    While Juneteenth commemorates African American freedom, emphasizes education, and celebrates the rich heritage of Greenwood, the new health precautions and need for social distancing has limited our ability to create a multi-arts experience that will be safe for our audience.

     

    Although we cannot celebrate in person this year, we encourage everyone to use #IAMJUNETEENTH and #TulsaTogether to share how you plan to honor Juneteenth while social distancing.
