    That's fine. I want everything to stay open. I'm confused at how the govt chooses which ones can stay open. Maybe the ones they are invested in?

    Follow the money.

    Corporate America will be just fine while mom and pop go under.

    Keep that in mind when buying anything right now.

    No. He's right. The little guys are the ones that will be worst hit. "Essential" or not. Corporate will come out ok. They can draw on places less hit by these orders. Mom and Pop places can't.

    Little guys will be hit.

    But don't think corporations are just fine. You can't have your revenue cut 75% and survive long, corporation or not. You can't be forced to shut your factory for long.

    And who is it that employs so many people? Corporations.

    Demonizing them as the liberals do is unfounded, dangerous and ... Well, I will be tactful and stop there.

    I am not demonizing them at all. I know they provide a valuable service to our country.

    I am just saying that many politicians don't necessarily have the citizen's best interest in mind.

    They need to look after their friends and their investments too.

    I'm convinced that these stay at home orders have nothing to do with our safety. The media talks about "Flattening the curve" and that translates to something other than safety.

    Keeping us at home and social distancing, all revolve around keeping moderate numbers of afflicted people at any given time. The rulers know that a football stadium full of people would produce unmanageable numbers of patients. This virus is very contagious and they want us to catch the virus at different times to unburden the medical facilities. They really don't give a chit if we get sick!

    Notice too, everyone who died recently is linked to the virus? My BS meter is going off the scale!

    The best advice is to take your temperature often. If the temp is normal or sub normal, YOU DON'T HAVE THE CORONA VIRUS!

    Buddy of mine is on a drilling ship in Mexico. He said no-one on or off the ship.
    What company does he work for/what rig is he on? I'm curious because we are supposed to go back there once our current contract in US waters concludes. The powers that be have yet to figure out how crew change/quarantine will be handled, but that is still a couple of months out.

    I wonder if he's getting overtime.
    Guaranteed, just a matter of whether it is additional straight time for the extra time served or proper rotational overtime. In the current market it is more than likely additional straight time.

    From this Elder Academic Physician, observations, plus comments:

    1) The recent ElCampo "case" contracted it in New Orleans, on a trip.

    2) At this stage, our greatest fear should be mass evacuations of large urban areas, especially New Orleans. Yes, I know you are in Texas, but that is your greatest threat, too. Remember "Katrina" and where the undesirables went? Houston, few to Dallas or Austin.

    3) For the immediate time-being, we should all cooperate with all governmental restrictions except NEVER DISARM, no matter what they tell you !

    "Experts" still don't have a good handle on this, and no-one knows what to expect. So, stay home as much as practical. Help your neighbors & family while KEEPING YOUR DISTANCE from everyone.

    4) Basic precautions and traditional practices still apply, follow them strictly.

    I am in daily touch with TEXMed, both States' Health Departments, TMA, UTHSC, etc. and will advise further as necessary.

    Making inflammatory anti-government statements is very ill-advised now. This is not a Civil Rights or Constitutional issue. It IS a serious Public Health crisis !

    Thank you for staying calm , rational and helpful. Citizenship entails responsibility ...we should endure the hardship of lost wages and stay isolated as much as possible ... this too shall pass!

    Phuck them I will not comply. April 1st everyone needs to go back to normal. What are they gonna do when 150 million Americans say phuck you?

    Clay Jenkins talked about boycotting business who ignore his order after the mess is over.

    Phuck him
    April 1st. With jenkins new hair cut we see another poll who is do as I say not as I do kinda guy.

    Northam of VA extended his order till June? WTF.

    Distancing can be done without completely phucking the country. Try all these grocery stores without massive waves of sick employees.

    I know my wife is upset with the stay at home order, but not regular reasons. See all the barbers are closed and my hair WAS getting long. Out came the clippers, can you say surgical length. Oh yaeh, she's not a fan of the skin head.
