The financial issues are so much more serious than the health ones but no ones talking about that. Just dumb retarded c*nts roaming around profiting off of idiots panic I have to admit my opinion was similar to yours, but then it hits home! In Horsforth (not far from you I believe) 3 of my brother neighbours have got the virus in the past 3-4 days, 3 of the 9 have been hospitalised and one has died! Apparently they are getting so overrun it has taken 2 days to issue an official death certificate and his death will not go into the government stats until the middle of next week. The bit that shocked me is he was a 36 year old guy with 2 small children who was exceptionally fit and had NO underlying health issues. I totally get the economic impact, but just letting it spread and having so many people off work or dying would have a FAR higher and longer lasting economical impact than a couple of weeks shut down. 3 Quote Link to comment
Ratvan Posted March 21, 2020 Author Share Posted March 21, 2020 For all these claims I have seen no data. Until that point this is all bullshit and keep the common cold discussion off my threads so thank you very much.  All this amounts to so far is saying if my nan had two wheels she would've been a bicycle. Quote Link to comment

A.m.P Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 I included a link with hard statistics, including mortality rates. The problem with Google is you'll only find what you want to find or what they've decided will keep you on a page longer. Â But this isn't the place for this, fair enough. Â 1 Quote Link to comment

The financial issues are so much more serious than the health ones but no ones talking about that. Just dumb retarded c*nts roaming around profiting off of idiots panic You sound like my husband. Whether it's a sniffle for most people or becomes life threatening due to lack of immunity, it's paralyzing the world. I am stuck between deep resentment of how they're shutting down life as a whole to stop the spread, when it's going to spread anyway, and worry about those who cannot fight it off like 90% of my patients. I finally got through to my husband yesterday when I explained to him that silly or not, this is the new reality, and if he were to go to work (as a county sheriff's deputy) knowing that someone in our trip to NYC was possibly positive, still symptomatic, with no test results back yet, and they found out Monday that he WAS positive, my husband would be in deep dog poo with the county for willfully working and not abiding by the quarantine. Even if we don't have it we were exposed. And we could be carriers and expose others, and his people are following those thoughts and he'd get canned faster than they could say boo. After that he relented and realized we only have like 5 days left to QT and our jobs will always be there, so he shut it.  It's been funny though-I told him early on when it hit China that it would be here soon, he said I was full of BS and a panic spreader. I said when it gets here expect the US government to lose its mind and lock everyone up, maybe even close state borders and shut the world down like in Outbreak. He again said I was full of BS and a panic spreader and that would never happen because we don't live in a socialist country we live in MURICA dammit. And now.............. lol. I can't repeat I told you so with enough glee. 35 minutes ago, karisma said: Gotta love the asta! If the Asta is doing that well for an acro, I hope it makes that leptastrea I put in the tank take off like a rocket!! 1 Quote Link to comment

Ratvan Posted April 21, 2020 Author Share Posted April 21, 2020 Will probably sell it if anything is salvageable as soon as I can get back in the office, as well as spare lights and other spare tanks. Too many on the go, I know what my "final" home reef will be so working towards that at the moment 2 Quote Link to comment
