You were making more sense when you talking about the miracle cure by the Dr. Demonsemen lady.

Whoops lol. Mixed those thoughts up. North of 100 of thousands (thread title), into the millions.

I hate that I am 8 pages late to watch WutFace get emasculated by the masses.

Beautiful.

I just made this post to draw you out of hiding, BW. You haven't posted since our last encounter.

By the way, your Daily COVID Tracker thread is in desperate need of updating.

The fella sending the graphs to me is out of the country for another 3 weeks. I'll start updating the thread as soon as he's back in town and able to put them together for us. I like the way those are designed - especially the day of the week, WOW numbers.

Meanwhile, keep working on that PPL and drone license. You'll be a "real pilot" in no time.

Aren't you just precious. Let me get this straight. You have a "fella" who sends you the graphs but he's in another country right now? Is this like where you have a girlfriend who we never see because she "lives in Canada?"

In either case, I'm glad you're feeling good enough to post again.

You know what's really a waste? The fact that we're 5 months into this pandemic and it's worse than it's ever been. August will be absolutely tragic in the amount of lives lost.

We've also seen a direct inverse correlation to passengers willing to fly and the intensity of the outbreak. Our neglect in our rush to reopen early will cost us jobs in the next couple of months. Open up schools without considering safety, and in October it'll be game over. We're talking end of empire scenarios. US Passports won't be worth the paper they're printed on.

My bunker is full of Netflix and snacks. How's yours?

Well my kids will be firmly in school enjoying what they can of social interactions. They've been having sleepovers since March, and other than everything being shut down (which didn't help worth a sh!t, except destroy lives) it's been business as usual in our household to an extent.

What you and your cohorts don't seem to realize is... unless the Vid is eradicated from the Earth, you'll never be able go outside or open up without it coming back.. So what's your end game? You're arguing a point that has no valid points other than a number. And yet you can't seem to fathom how the rest of us just aren't that scared of it.

You really think if we waited another month or two things would be different? I question your ability to accurately asses risk vs. reward...

No bunker here. I'm just waiting for real estate opportunities in about 10 months.

You've been isolated in the middle of the Pacific ocean. Real easy to discount what's going on stateside when you're not in the thick of it. Hawaii opens up tomorrow. Buckle up, buttercup.

You can't seem to fathom how many Americans are afraid of it. People who take COVID seriously vs people who don't is 2 to 1. And you want to run an economy with only the idiots participating. Smart.

See Italy, Germany, France for results of what it looks like when you wait until the proper moment to reopen. Even at our lowest we were still rocking 16,000 new confirmed cases per day. Too many to contact trace. And now we won't have a chance to get back to anything close to normal until 2021. Freaking great.

Enjoy those sleepovers. When the tourists bring the Rona over to the islands you might think differently.
