This is NOT 9/11 -- or won't be if we aren't (again) duped into surrendering FUNDAMENTAL civil liberties and freedoms in exchange for "security" which the government cannot possibly give us. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the federal level, it wasn't taken seriously but at the provincial level, it was. Personally, I've been taking this seriously since the 1st week of March literally washing my hands everytime I came into contact with something or someone and avoiding people who were sick. That being said, the data is generally a two week lag so if this is the worst in Quebec, we'll be back to work by May 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michigan is going to up the unemployment benefits by $600 for up to 6 months? What pot of money are they tapping into to cover that? The "Final-Final" version of the CARES Act said the $600 adder will be covered through July (4 months tops). Unless there were additional changes between that and what 45 signed, really doubt Michigan has the budget room to cover that for 2 extra months.

We are all going to get it unless there is a vaccine soon. That means we will all die {insert hair on fire gif} or develop immunity. ?♂️ While I understand the thoughts behind why the economy was crashed, I am not onboard with closing down the country's economy with the current knowledge available to the general citizenry. I am certain that makes me a bad person. The people most at risk may have wanted to hunker down (and yes, I know young people have contracted this... just like XX and YY have contracted every contagious disease known to man since the beginning of time), but to kill the economy? To discount future suicides? Mental depression? I donno. I am just glad I am not the one making the call. What does give me pause in my personal assessment, is what if we are not being told the rest of the story? That ¾ of the countries in this world (give or take a few) have closed their borders to other countries, makes me wonder what haven't TPTB told us? (And, considering the ridiculous toilet paper buying, maybe they were right to withhold information?) This is my thoughts. At what point do we actually believe we have stopped it? We flatten the curve, and then what? Unless it dies off on its own, or we kill it, it seems like it’ll just come back? 1 hour ago, Deranged Rhino said: Bill Gates thanks you.
