So WTF has changed except I have to finish my last beer at the bar at 9:59 instead of 10:15

...and every 14 minutes and 59 seconds walk away from those you are next to, unless at a rally to support Biden or BLM, because those don't cause spread

Thankfully dealing with deadly infectious diseases was not a major issue in the daily lives of those living in the late 18th century.  Who knows what limits to personal liberty they may have written into the founding documents.

This contact tracing is freaking wacko, and completely absurd.  It is running train through everything more than COVID is.

My nephew may have been exposed on the school bus. A kid on his bus tested positive but he didn’t take the bus on Monday or Friday so the school is going to give them more information later. 


We were going to go to their house for Thanksgiving but after this my wife and I decided we would just buy a Thanksgiving dinner meal and have my mom over to our house. I go to Vegas the following day and my wife works in corporate retail so she’s working like 16/24 hours of Thanksgiving on her computer anyways so not a big deal.

I was nervous for my team and also my son. It was difficult to not get quarantined and be able to compete in league, district and regional races. We had great success but came with a lot of worry the last 6 weeks.

Football will finish up Saturday and OHSAA can survive a little longer....then DeWine will shut it down until mid January.

Hoping Winter season will start MLK week and play league games and then have the tournament to get the OHSAA some more funds.

So I drove past two Covid testing sites daily. Usually they are empty of there’s 1-2 cars. Last night my wife drove by and said there was 50-100 cars in line. I drove past the drive thru today and again there was about 100 cars and then the urgent care center that gives the tests had 100-200 people outside wrapped around the building waiting. 


Quite concerning after not seeing more then 1-2 cars at most for the last few months.

And also....WTF? Not sure I’d wait in line of 50-100 cars for a free $100 bill

I could see a lot of these testing places getting swamped like that as people want to be tested before Thanksgiving.

True.  Also cold & flu season, so there's going to be an ongoing crush of people worried they might have Covid.

 You know you've hit rock bottom when the default assumption for a new poster is they are either a spambot or someone who was banned.

Kentucky shutting down all indoor dine-in and bars starting Friday until Dec 13. Minnesota banning ALL gathering of individuals not in the same household even if social distancing can be maintained.

Is Florida struggling with their decision yet?

If this had come a month later and they were banning CHRISTMAS.....oh man, would the folks on FoxNews lose their shit.

Still a good chance that happens.  But I can't believe they are actually telling people not to spend Thanksgiving with their immediate family.  I'm not sure how much credibility they have left, but don't give orders you have no intention of even trying to enforce, not even a little.

Heard 40 millions vaccines by Christmas.


Lets get health care workers and school teachers in the front of the line.

Teachers who are at risk.  I'm sure we would have heard plenty if a lot of teachers were getting it.

Younger, healthier teachers can wait their turn like the rest of us.  Teachers over 60, sure they can go to the front of the line for their group.
