Neverending Covid-19 Coronavirus

[Dtknuckles]

So it just dawned on us that my wife’s company that provides psych services to charter school has not contacted them regarding the whole school closure deal. Just when the state has told districts to prepare for school closures for the rest of the year.

One of the bars by me have been keeping a pickup window for booze. They've put together cocktail kits they are selling with pre mixed bottles as well as the garnishes and some bonus stuff. I stopped by to grab the last one, but it was sold out, so got a Harvey Wallbanger kit as well as some to-go beers.
If anything, at least this virus has been sparking a lot of great, creative ideas!

We are currently discussing what action to take.

I just edited the post and quotes until we come to a conscientious about what action to take as I did not want to leave that portion of the post public.

Thank you all for your patience.

The person made a mistake. If the person is pretty sure they've got COVID-19, they're probably ten times more stressed than many of us. Stuff happens. I'd appreciate not isolating someone from this social platform during a time when we're already socially isolated enough. Please let it go.

I too support extending more leniency than may otherwise be warranted under normal circumstances. In these difficult times I’d rather lean into mercy than strict sanctions.

Here is an interesting article from the guardian getting different scientist views on why more young people are affected in the us.

Is coronavirus hitting young Americans harder than we thought?

Experts weigh the evidence as nearly 40% of patients who were hospitalized in the US were under 55 and 20% were between ages 20 and 44

I'm conflicted. This is appalling, insanely dangerous and the bloke is clearly not right in the head;

The post was reported. The post was fixed. Done.

Based on information I've received of the offender's treatment toward a certain gender, I can no longer recommend leniency for this person. If the overlords were even considering my opinion anyway, please ignore it. There is a totality of events that needs to be considered, and I was unaware. I apologize.

I don’t want to be an alarmist but I’ve seen some reporting coming in that is very really quite disturbing:

Evidently, Beyoncé sneezed on the beat and the beat got sicker. As a role model she should be exhibiting proper social distancing. Is it too much to ask that she roll up the partition...please?!!!

Are you trying to tell me Bey is releasing some new music? Don't mess with me. You know how I feel about her.
