Anyone else dying to know what part of the industry (if any), Wutface works in? Almost hate to give him the attention he so craves but meh, I’m bored at the ol’ “bunker”.

Speaking of that....Bunker? Jesus Christ dude, we’re allowed to go outside, shop, exercise, beach, eat at restaurants. My life is hardly even effected and I don’t see anyone not wearing a mask on my flights or around town. Don’t be scared my dude, I’m here for ya if you need a covid bump.

  1. No, Daddy did not go for cigarettes.
  2. No, Daddy will not be right back.
  3. Yes, COVID is going to kill 1500+ Americans on average per day for the next 4 weeks. That's like having a 9/11 every 2 days for the month of August.
The good news is that the hotspots are cooling off. The bad news is that the damage is already done. Time will tell where it spreads to next. Early indications are that Missouri is up to bat.

Look, I get that things are bad for a lot of us. But pretending this isn't happening doesn't help anything.

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.
Ha,

#1) my whole family is in your "epicenter" State, enjoying what's left of their lives.. Deep sea fishing, restaurants, golf...

#2) Hawaii does NOT open up tomorrow unfortunately

#3) I went to NY and partied my ass off on the 4th, house parties, golf tournament, threw back shots at the club house.. Real dangerous place

The chances of me changing my mind about a virus with a 99%+ survival and even more for my kids is about the same as you coming out of mom's basement.

The US is stringing it out, and the effect is prolonged Wutface posts.

Now that WARN letters are going out and airline pilots are facing the reality of life without the government taking care of your paycheck, we will most likely see more and more pilots ease off their pro-lockdown and fear-based Covid positions.
Sweden has like 10 million smart healthy people that care about each other. Can’t compare that with the US. Even if the numbers are going down they did terrible per million, almost same as Italy. There’s 0 evidence that numbers are going down because of herd immunity, rates of antibodies are around 10%. Also the Swedish economy has done as bad if not worse than its neighbors with way more deaths. The reason for the numbers coming down is because going back to the smart considerate people thing, Swedes were self isolating from each other and not going out at all. Stores and streets have been empty for months. Not even close to how Americans have handled it here, you can thank them for the warn letters.

I'm cool with all the name calling.

It means you've lost the argument.

What I find funny is all you continually feeding Wutface. Seriously put him on the ignore list....life is great.

What does suck is that I know of five (yeah five) suicides within two degrees of seperation.

In my whole life that now comes to probably eight in total.

Hmmm.....

We need to make politics boring again. No more celebrity. Get back to work doing the business of the people as servants, not emperors.

China flu will illustrate how, over several decades, we've let politics become celebrity. The actions taken to "combat" the china flu is what happens when you allow this creep to occur.


Politicians have taken a bad cold and turned it into World War "Z" type of outbreak. It's so effective we have a full country of larpers believing anything they are told suspending critical thought and logic for the sake of popularity and being part of a larger cause celebre.

You all will be lucky to survive with your jobs intact because of this foolish posturing.
