Anyone need a vacation ? Myrtle Beach /Horry County is wide open. 1000s flocking down from the north to enjoy dine in , bars , golf and beaches. My girls and I got a one bedroom suite on the beach for 137$ last night.
Bands playing and the only masks u see are on some employees . The virus is a joke here. 4 new cases yesterday They should have scientists here figuring out why we are so lucky.

I have zero science background but am decent at understanding data and making solid judgments. It’s literally been sunny and 66-83 every day since late February. Even when bar and dine in were not available, people were getting take out and having picnics and flocking to beaches , parks and golf.
I’m guessing staying in doors is the main component in the lighting spreading of this. We are a mask less area that does not wash hands or practice social distancing . We have succeeded in by doing everything ass backwards . It’s the freakin twilight zone. Its 2019 only better . Everyone has days off and free $$, at least for now.

Same here. We have one active case in a county of 150k. We have had 15 total cases, 3 hospitalizations and zero deaths. Wal Mart, Home Depot and Academy Sports are packed every day. The hiking trails are all packed. Our main hospital just laid off 20% of staff, did a 26% pay cut and eliminated 401k match.

Our governor is a corrupt ass hat. Churches are open, casinos are opening on May 18th, but restaurants are at 33% capacity and you have to wear a mask except when chewing. A concert venue challenged him yesterday. The venue seats 1100 and they would use 200 seats. The venue stated that there would be more distancing than what the church's provide. The governor responded by cutting off their liquor license.

Florida with the 47 again. Really? The last five times I looked at it it said 47, including sometimes before noon and then staying there all day, or maybe inching up to 50 or so.

So they use holes in the masks to poke a straw through or are they just not allowed to drink? Where is your town?

Now after 45 minutes I need to just sit and rest for like 20 minutes or so before I do anything else vs. just hop in the shower and go about my day. I tried to shower right after once but I just had to sit down or I was going to collapse.

The one thing is it feels like there's barbs on my lungs sometimes when I breathe. It's hard to explain but if I take deep breaths I feel like something is poking at my skin. Probably should get an xray but I don't go outside anymore. The farthest I go is dropping my trash into the garbage chute in the hall.
Man I hope you feel better. Please keep the thread updated if you ever get that X-ray. I'm very interested in any potential long term effects of this.

'Meanwhile some governors are playing into every stereotype of “the overclass.” On Tuesday Pennsylvania’s Tom Wolf said in a press briefing that those pushing against the shutdown are cowards. Local officials who “cave in to this coronavirus” will pay a price in state funding. “These folks are choosing to desert in the face of the enemy. In the middle of a war.” He said he’ll pull state certificates such as liquor licenses for any businesses that open.
He must have thought he sounded uncompromising, like Gen. George Patton. He seemed more like Patton slapping the soldier. No sympathy, no respect, only judgment.

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer called anti-lockdown demonstrations “racist and misogynistic.” ...People are in economic distress and worry that the foundations of their lives are being swept away. How does name-calling help? She might as well have called them “deplorables.”

Latest graph of average deaths in U.S. vs. Europe.

Today was the first day in which the 7-day average of deaths was declining faster week-over-week in America than in the big five European countries (American deaths declined 23.7% this week compared to the previous week, while European deaths declined 21.5% over the same period).

Nowhere to go mostly. Everything is shut down, have enough food to live for a while, bet on sports for a living but all casinos are closed, too cheap to order food to go after getting free casino meals for the last 15 years. The usual.

I noticed yesterday The Rio turned their lights on for the first time in months. So maybe we are back soon!

i stopped eating my free casino meals in january. even before covid threat, i decided eating food in the casino is too risky. no matter how careful i was, i felt like too many germs were going inside my body.

i would get colds and flus, and im pretty sure they were all from the casino. not sure how much of a difference eating there makes. but it's not that important to me to eat at the casino.

Not too different than any other kitchen with 17-year-old-don't-give-a-**** kids serving/making your food - it's just the casino has 38-year-old-don't-give-a-**** ex-convicts making your food instead.

The problem now seems to be less to do with numbers, and more to do with how ****ed USA is in regards to testing and anything resembling a ****ing plan.

President Dickwad said today that first, the reason we have the most cases is because we have the most testing; more testing = more cases. And then second, he follows that up with he still doesn't believe we need all this teasting, but if more people want testing we'll give them testing.

He actually said that...today, explaining that he still really has no concept of what the testing is even for. In all seriousness, we are well and truly ****ed.

So you were worried about the food, but not worried about the guy 2 feet away hacking all over your face, or the other guy at your table wiping his nose with his hand, sucking on his fingers, scratching his balls, and then handling the cards?

i'm not really worried about the food. i think that eating(the act of eating) in an environment so filled with germs really increases your chance to get sick. when you eat, you open up your body to ingest the food, but probably gonna ingest more germs that way too... like the guy hacking is now hacking on your face AND your food too, for example. just putting more stuff in your body and right up to your face, means taking in more germs, right?

just my own theory. makes sense to me. but obviously could be totally wrong.

That's why you wash your hands before grabbing your pecker to take a piss, so that dude, who may have scratched his herpes before putting in his crying call on the river, will not give you the herp when you rake in his chips.

If you're one of those ****s who eats pepperoni pizza at the table, greasing up cards/chips, then yeah, it's a high risk activity; if you eat at a casino restaurant, while washing up before, then I think the risk is the same as when you stop at Taco Bell on your way home instead eating at the casino. I don't do either, but my dietary restrictions remove any temptations anyway.
