I get it - but healthcare is only one component to the overall economy. It can't be the only limiting variable.

random question...is the Buc-ee's on 290 in Harris County?
very close to the Waller-Harris county line
very close to the Waller-Harris county line
Buc-ee's will be closing?
Agreed. But if, and I'll be honest, big if at this point, as previously stated, this is all basically a human experiment, it did get to that point, the rest of the economy would crash anyway. This is trying to control both sides of it. Limit the shutdown and keep hospitals and public resources going.
the food-serving part perhaps --- not sure if that counts as a restaurant
Wouldn't think so. They don't even have places to sit down do they?
Nope, Buccee's is takeout only. The only issue is that you get lots of people hanging around during busy times waiting on food.
Fair point - and I know I don't know.

I said for all I care. I didn't say we should.
... so to clarify, you dont think the government *should* round people up and put them into a poisonous rat trap, but as long as you can get a green beer for St. Patty's day, it wont actually affect your mood?
Perfect.
Perfect.

Right inside Waller county
And we whiffed on a pair of canvasbacks.
Its not govt mandated yet but its just a really good ****ing idea. seeing the number of social media posts of people at bars and restaurants over the weekend while the cdc was stressing we need to be social distancing proves that the majority of the people either dont know what happening, refuse to acknowledge the seriousness of whats happening, or is too dumb to the get the hint so now big brother has to step in. From President Trump's own mouth, he said we should avoid gatherings of 10 people. The local government got the message and is taking action.agdaddy04 said:agz win said:

I don't care about the green beer. I don't even celebrate the holiday outside of a little Irish cream in my coffee. I do care about gross abuse by government officials and the economic impact that this has on businesses with models completely built around socialization. The people they'll lay off. The doors that will shut.swimmerbabe11 said:

The world is about to get one of the biggest case studies in economics ever. Did stopping the world economy kill more than the virus itself?

Not something we wanna find out.
I wonder if you calculate the spike in heart attacks and strokes for 50-60 who just saw their retirement go out the door how it tracks against corona cases in same age group.IrishTxAggie said:I don't care about the green beer.

okay, okay, okay, I think the point of my original post went whooshing past your head..but I get it. These are stressful times. I work retail and rely on commission sales to pay my bills. I'm freaking out too. Trying to concentrate on helping my neighbor is keeping me calm.
All I was saying is that it was ironic that you said that this was a totalitarian type move and offered up an (albeit hyperbolic and joking) a far more power hungry crazy government move.
We'll all get through this. If there is anything I can do to help, let me know.

I'm still amazed all those years ago the Wu Tang Clan told us this was coming when they told us the Wuhan Virus Ain't Nuttin ta Fug Wit. They saw the future.
I would love to see Trump break out in this song at his next presser.

Would you rather have an overwhelmed health care and hospital system and have a situation like what's going Italy or have a bunch of bartenders & waitresses on a 2 week unpaid vacation? If a bar/restaurant has to shut down because of 2 weeks off, there's a high chance they would have had to do so if this wasn't going on anyway.
You're assuming it's only going to be 2 weeks. Remember when schools were only closing for a couple days to 1 week?

So you'd prefer people congregating in large crowds spreading the virus to essentially everyone who goes to a bar? Hell a server or bartender who contracts it will be bed ridden for a couple weeks anyway, so I'd prefer using precautionary measures than reactionary ones.

Bull*****. It's Europe.

Well not sure if you've turned on the news at all, but there's a shortage of rooms/beds in hospitals that would overwhelm our system just like theirs if this thing spreads rapidly like it has there, don't you? That has nothing to do with the quality of doctors.
And America's healthcare system ranges from great to horrible depending on location and insurance options.IrishTxAggie said:You realize that Italy is a ****hole with a horrible healthcare system don't you?David_Puddy said:IrishTxAggie said:I don't care about the green beer.
