Yes. Fuck them both. Everyone is on lockdown, unemployed. Follow the rules. Stop thinking you are special and can go outside and play.

They can throw a ball inside their house.

Yeah so why does a family need to be social distancing each other when outside if they’re going to be living together inside...

That would piss me off.

We have people going to parks here in Newberg and they are all practicing social distancing from one group to the next.

The park is about 6 blocks from the police station. A cop cruised by and saw a family throwing a frisbee together.

He came by and mentioned to all of us to keep our social distancing between each group of people, told us to be safe and waved goodbye.

Exactly. Parks and things like that are closed, because if they weren't, they would have hundreds of people at them. Seen it myself at the state parks I work at here in Florida. Before they were closed, and people were supposed to be social distancing, there would be 800 people on a fucking beach, getting their grimy shit all over eachother. Thank god the beaches are closed now here.
 
I was watching TV and saw a report earlier on the toilet paper shortage. It brought up some points that I hadn't though of. But then, there's a dozen universes of things I haven't though of

anyway, the reporter pointed out that there was actually two toilet paper markets....one for commercial use, and one for the home. Commercial use is factories and schools and offices and businesses. That uses low grade paper, sometimes single-ply, and often not soft. The home market uses softer higher-quality paper

so now, many factories and schools and offices are closed. People are busy wiping their asses at homes. While there was some panic buying and hoarding at first, now the problem is millions more people taking millions more dumps at home and using the home-grade paper. (I might be paraphrasing a bit)

the other side of the problem is that toilet paper is very bulky and has little value (normally). So no distributor carries large inventories of paper. Further, production has been steady and at capacity. It's not so easy to just ramp up production because there is no excess production infrastructure for home-grade paper, and if factories convert commercial grade infrastructure, they will get caught again when things return to normal

now, back to toilet paper jokes
 
Keyboards en fuego...Trump apologists are quite funny when they're angry.

Posts like this are so removed from reality I don't know how to respond to them.

You TDS sufferers are lucky, you're never wrong and no matter what evidence you are shown you stick with your feelings. It is a religion and a sickness.

Yeah, I saw something similar to that. One of the problems I noticed is, even the sites where people buy in bulk for businesses had been sold out. Right when things started to get all crazy, I looked on Quill, where our school gets supplies from. Every option of toilet paper was sold out. The 1 ply, the giant commercial rolls for like McDonalds, etc. Just looked now and looks like they have some options available finally.

If I had to fix mechanical problems on BMWs I'd go lick the ventilators at the nearest hospital. I saw what the mechanic at my shop was doing today. He was working on a new BMW sedan. The wiring harness came as a kit. Most cars you just get a harness with all the plugs. Not this thing, it looked like a build your own space shuttle kit.
 
A lot of people in Wuhan China want to get out of China because they lifted the lockdown. We all know that China is lying about the numbers and they don't know how long it will last. This should be interesting.

EU is different from the UK, since Brexit.

Different politically. Not different in terms of any particular logic in shutting off travel.

In fact, any difference would point to the UK being the bigger threat--they were the nation that initially decided to go with the strategy of getting as many people as infected as possible in the first wave.

Italy was the hot spot at the time. It changed shortly afterwards to include the UK.
 
Trump apologists are quite funny when they're wrong.

Lumping cops into one group is also funny...and wrong.
