There are no worse people than the "I don't feel safe, so you must be forced to give up your liberties for me to feel safe" people.  They are followed up by their cousins for 2nd worse.  The "I know someone who died or had corona (or whatever the hot topic is), therefore I validate everything said by my friends living in fear" people. 

Majority voice or rule is a thing of the past.

Your supposed to hate the UN.  They're New World Order folks.  

Why won't Trump turn his Twitter sites at China.  Their state media is going all out in blaming this thing on the US.  The more they flood the world with this crap, the more traction it may get.  He should very publically acknowledge what China is doing with its state media.  Direct some of that nastiness to President Xi instead of Pelosi or the news media.

Because his fumbling attempts to "own the libs" (which they are far better at doing to themselves than he is with his stupid nicknames and "old man yells at clouds" tweets) to fire up his base are more important to him than anything else.

I'll nominate another group. Those pushing for opening, opening, opening everything immediately, not due to any rights issues, but because they're one paycheck away from economic disaster. If one wants to argue the state has no right to close up parts of the economy, that's an argument that can be made. That the economy is a disaster because 78% (Forbes, early 2019) of Americans literally live paycheck to paycheck, about 80% of that 78% should GFT. Your irresponsibility is not a reason to be considered in a public policy discussion. Stop sucking at life.

He was going after China and the media released an internal memo saying their strategy was to pass blame to China. 

I've heard South Dakota started opening up this week. One friend that lives there stated that their community (15,000+) is operating like nothing ever happened.

It seems like maybe 3/4 of cases in this country are concentrated in about a dozen or so urban areas.  Most of those cities have 3 major sports teams, and the bigger deal is probably wide use of mass transit.  Although even the sidewalks can be quite crowded.

Now, those 12 cities have like 60-70M people.  But the rest of the country really should get along fine with social distancing and wearing masks in public.

Anyone know when dog grooming is reopening my dog would like to see again

Not talking you specifically, but I can imagine a lot of people are more concerned about getting their dog groomed than they are getting their hair cut.

We need both. Thank goodness my office is super casual right now and I can wear a hat bc it’s rough out here.

That's me. I can go into June or July without cut and color, but my dog is a shaggy monster. I'm going to cut his bangs myself. 

Yeah, our dog needs it more than we do, too.

No summer league anything. I wish we knew if XC was a definite or least a likely. No XC and my kid would keep doing track speed workouts and lifting....but with XC he’ll just log big miles and not much speed stuff:

My wife trimmed the back of my hair last week and around my ears. Then she cut the hair in my dogs eyes. His has grown back already and is covering his eyes again. He will probably have to be shaved for the first time since we got him. 
 

I actually joined Hammer n Nails in Westerville. It’s a men’s grooming shop. I get a cut and straight razor shave every month. I love going there because you get free bourbon will you get your services done. I kept my membership going so I’m racking up credits the longer this goes. I’ll probably spend a whole day there drinking getting a cut shave pedicure and manicure when it reopens. 

Saw your lockdown in Ohio extended through May. 
Starting today in illinois, you must wear a mask if you leave the house.

I am with you in the aspect I hate people who are financial irresponsible and think it is everyone else's responsibility to help them out, but I won't go as far as your entire point.   For starters, if people are living paycheck to paycheck, I'd much rather them do that if it means they are not being provided government assistance. Also, what about the people who have been saving and their bank account is being drained?  What is the proper amount saved for you to say it is ok for them to bitch?  I would assume you have to factor age into that answer.  I don't care if you have 100K saved for rainy day or living paycheck to paycheck.  Nobody likes to have their bottom line affected, especially when the government purposely shut them down. 

I think public support is really starting to dwindle. Initially, it seemed most people were like “okay this sucks but let’s just get on with it” and with six weeks of mostly nothing happening - in most of the country anyways - and the lockdowns being extended another month, people are really getting pissed off.
