Y'all ready for Great Depression 2.0?

Got the ranch stocked up. Ammo food water and hundreds of rolls of toilet paper. May god help us.

I saw this in 1999, then the clock struck midnight.

Yeah, this is going to get really hard to recover from. The scope of this is just staggering. All aspects.

I was a bar back that night. Stayed in the beer cooler until the all clear. No lie.

Lol. I led a Y2K project and was literally the only one in our war room when the clock turned. The most anti-climatic and actually depressing event of my life.

Having said that I was ecstatic at the completely nothing outcome that it was. That is what you want.

Oh did it. I dont remember much that night. I was partying while the COBOL programmers were slaving away with that dog**** language. C programmers were just a chillin' having fun.

Least at risk to have a severe response... I would argue they are the highest risk to transmit it. Schools are a cesspool.

---

You would argue? Schools are a cesspool?

Are you a medical professional or an educator with any firsthand knowledge whatsoever?

---

Nope, I'm neither... I'm a parent who knows how easy it is for kids to catch **** at school.

Trying to think if I've ever heard of a kid actually dying from any kind of flu. A healthy kid.

They're pretty damn resilient.

much more of this, and it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

---

Which is what a lot of people want.

---

I absolutely don't. All the dumbassery around us is leading us that way. Absolutely a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I was referring to the news media and Democrats.

A lot of people, and not just here, are questioning where she gets that number because if even 10% of infected people needed extra medical care, it would not be something that could be kept hidden.

They are, but they are also carriers. Like I said previously (like so many others have said), this is now about mitigating the spread. Schools will be a big factor. Its not out of fear of child deaths.

Sad to say, perhaps i'm just spitballing here but there is quite a bit of money in the feeding troughs for states right now and many have their hands out and pockets open.

I was at a house party, and a friend of mine threw all the breakers right as the times Square ball dropped.

Going to shank another one

This is bs. We have 4x the icu beds they do and that doesn't include all non-overnight beds.

Pictures on Twitter of lines in Austin at HEB that are 200+ long to check out.

Virtually every shelf is empty. No meat, no produce, little frozen food, no canned goods, and little if anything else.

And of course, no toilet paper.

HEB finally had to come out and say they are not closing down because clearly that rumor (as we saw posted here earlier before the mods deleted it) is making the rounds on social media.

Just sad really hate my fellow citizen.

I was running some errands yesterday afternoon and my gut told me to stop at the grocery store. Best decision I ever made.

Dont pee on negative nancys parade!

We won't even be able to keep pace with Italy in terms of treating patients.

---

Ridiculous.

we ARE NOT and WILL NOT get anywhere near close to maxing out beds, even in hard hit areas like Seattle or (potentially) NYC.

---

The dimwits are trying their best to incite panic though...like multiple have said...a self fulfilling prophecy.
Would Shanked rather be in the US? Or Italy?
Which one of you folks who keep praising the NHS or other socialised systems want to actually go there??

Or maybe you should try Senegal. There were paeans of COVID treatments there a few pages ago.

Probably originated in my zip code in SW Austin. 90% blue and everyone believes everything they see on CNN.

A lot of the tweets that had location tags actually said Austin or SW Austin; the rest were Houston and San Antonio.

Talking the girlfriend today and we both are curious what the news cycle is in two weeks.

She's a teacher and we agreed this time next week the news will still be going because her district will likely announce distant learning tomorrow.

Two weeks it's probably still around but maybe losing some steam? Media will still be pushing because dirty laundry sells. People watch a crisis.

A month from now? I think this loses a majority of air time unless we see the doomsday prayers come true and they **** themselves.

By end of April the college kids have all either dropped out because they have partied way too hard or have a 4.0 gpa because everyone is cheating. Either way it's a lost semester.

Socially, people are making fun of it and it's probably become another meme.

My point is our societies attention span is WAY too short and Americans will not quarantine for months against their will. Life is probably normal by this time in May, even though people are still getting sick, the sheep realize it's not a wolf and people are not getting slaughtered by it in the streets

I live in a small Texas town, and they are pushing back little league opening ceremonies.
