There should be a national dialogue in getting back to work

Another band bites the dust, eh?

Ha. But I have no idea if that had anything to do with their slide into irrelevance. But I loved Supertramp and along comes Queen and it’s “Supertramp?  Naaaah. Don’t listen to them anymore.”

Terrible idea.   Hopefully they reject this abomination of a proposal.

Not to be outdone, Kentucky police are going to take down the license plate numbers of anyone caught at Easter services and force them into mandatory quarantine. It's coming.

Was that really the chronology? Somehow I would’ve had Supertramp after Queen, not before....but you may be right.

Ahh yes.  I was too young during this music time period, but I can definitely relate as I was a Metallica/Anthrax/Pantera/etc. metal head growing up.  I had to reject liking any "hair metal" band, even if their music sounded great.  Poison, Crue, Ratt, Bon Jovi, nuh-uh.

  That is what I thought as well.

Morning Rochester! I think you and I have found common ground. Let’s try another....GO BILLS!

Understand that Chef Jim was once an actual chef. Chefs are a little to a lot screwy. I mean, he serves the salad last for fvcks sake.

Logical Song is amazing, among many others.

 

I think this is the right place for this.  I love getting advice from people currently pulling a paycheck.  Her(?) opinion is worth less than an NBA player.  Maybe in July when nobody can turn a TV on, she'll be out on the street, without a job, rueing her current opinion?

 

 

My personal speculation - Many people are going to look stupid when the "widespread testing" proves it has already spread to >75% of the country.  And don't give me the crap answer "uhhh, the hospitals would have been overrun if that has happened".  It's been in the US since December 2019, making it's way thru many small circles, and most people pull thru. It's only when it hits a big city that anyone notices.

You think that from December to May, over 75% of the country will have gotten Covid19?

 

So this is the most contagious disease of all time by a fantastic margin never before seen in history? 
 

I am guessing you don’t work at the CDC.

 China's Wuhan to keep testing residents as coronavirus lockdown eases

 

WUHAN, China (Reuters) - China’s Wuhan city, where the global coronavirus pandemic began, is still testing residents regularly despite relaxing its tough two-month lockdown, with the country wary of a rebound in cases even as it sets its sights on normalising the economy.

 

“We carry out comprehensive health checks everyday and keep detailed records of their health condition,” she said, adding that there is no likelihood of asymptomatic cases in her community.

 

“Currently our neighbourhood is an epidemic-free community - it’s been 45 days so far, so we don’t have this situation,” she said.

Yeah, right! And I remember when Baghdad Bob reported there was absolutely no bombing going on.

Me too.  But I looked it up.  They were right about the exact same time.  Mid to late 70's.  Crime of the Century was probably the album the put ST on the map in 1974.  Yes Breakfast in America was 1979 which put them mainstream.  Queen's Day at the Races came out in 1976.  

 

Keep in mind the only reason I said that is the reason ST disappeared was because I listened to Dreamer that @ScotSHO posted and thought "hmmm Queeen."

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that you don't work for the CDC either.  Not sure what that means on a football BS talkie board?

 

But you did say the most important part - it "is the most contagious disease of all time".  By that theory, it should have ripped around the world in no time.

 

Like I said, it is a working theory.  Just like the current media narrative information out there.  Has the media, CDC, President, or Joe Biden's wife said how many people have it, definitively?

Thanks Chef. And now you see what it’s come down to. A month of sequestration and we’ve been reduced to debating late ‘70s pop/rock bands. Give it another two weeks and we’ll be scratching our heads over whether Wade should’ve started Rob over Doug.....oh wait, that’s the other chat room!

I wish I could believe anything out of China. But I hope this is true and shows a path forward.

I was living in LA from 1984-1991 and the hair band scene was actually very cool.  I remember driving by the Troubadour every day for work and seeing this band on the marque:  Guns n' Roses and thinking "cool name".  And I'll never forget where I was when I first heard Welcome to the Jungle.  I immediately fell in love with it.  The DJ comes on and says "that was Welcome to the Jungle from Guns n' Roses debut album Appetite for Destruction."  I was "get...the....*****....out!!"

 

I love when "younger" people look at me (I'll be 59 in a couple days) weird when I tell them how much I like that music.  Uhhh dude I was 27 when Appetite came out 22 with Kill 'em All came out.

You said over 75% of Americans have it in a 6 month span if I give you through May. That would dwarf the spread of any known disease ever. It’s bold. Not too likely, but bold. 
 

Why do you think, out of curiousity, we are getting such a high percentage of negative tests back? Are those part of the 25% that don’t have it and everyone untested does have it?

 

I ask you to question your amped up and unreasonable numbers.

Are those tests representative of the US population?

Likewise busy. I go into an empty office building in the morning and then work from home in the afternoon. We’re using the Webex platform. The best thing about this mess is that you can finally drive on the SoCal freeways again!

No. Those are people who had symptoms or are in high risk jobs. So if you expect 75% of people are already infected, those tests should be running much much higher. Yet they are not.
