Damn, that shyt shot up with the quickness.

 

[fact]

Well that's nice but in order for it to work...ypu got to do the same. Go out to yours and then speak on it.

My wife was supposed to see her stem cell transplant Dr. at Sloan K this Friday, they called 2 weeks ago and said not to bother, they wouldn't be seeing anybody for for non emergency apts for the foreseeable future, that was 2 weeks ago, I can't even imagine what is happening there now. We had an apt to see her infusion Dr. here in Albany this past Tuesday, they said the same when they called Monday night. She had a planned eye surgery for April 7th, to get another corneal transplant, they are pushing it back indefinitely. My best friend is an anesthesiologist in Maine, and travels to NH to do work at a hospital, he says that the hospitals are madness. I know the Boston hospitals are nearing bursting, just from the news. I mean, I can't speak for the rest of the country, but New England/Tri State, nearly all the hospitals are at or above capacity. I can't imagine that the rest of the country is holding up any better, and if they are, they won't be for long. It might not be at collapse level yet in this country, but we will get there in the next 2-3 weeks. The fact that Trump hasn't enacted the DPA yet is inexcusable and he should be brought up on charges, he is continuing to cost lives with his inaction.

but sadly this will happen. people will tool up.

Yup, someone else posted here a week ago that he was at the gun shop adding to his numbers and saw multiple first-time buyers who were confused and didn't understand what they wanted.

The economy needs to reopen, maybe around May. Mass unemployment and the economy crashing will lead to more misery than the coronaovirus.

A lot of people don’t see the long term financial effects on the economy of everything being shut down for months.

Even my mom is on the whole just shut everything completely down notion, which isn’t viable or feasible even if other countries are doing it,

@Henry Broadnax emtional fakkit did u just loose ur job or summin u acting like a straight bytch

...or you could just ignore him since he’s adding nothing to the convo...stop giving him a lane

 

[audemarzz]

Was there a right decision? We keep things open it spreads and MORE people die and the economy suffers regardless, who the fukk is showing up to work when 2 coworkers have dropped dead that you use to work with because of a virus that your government says isn't that bad?

On the flip side we shut shyt down the economy nose-dives into oblivion and lives still continue to be lost with the added increase in massive unemployment rates and sinking stock market.

The only thing that could have changed our current predicament is how our congress handled this initially, a lot of decisions made were the incorrect choices which put us in our current lose-lose situation. Arguing back and forth about it now is moot because it's done don't be mad at the cat sitting next to you with a difference of opinion be mad at those in power who fukked us all over when they had knowledge of this prior.

During the Depression the social safety net was far worse and people remained unemployed for far longer, yet home invasion murders hardly happened at all. In fact, crime in the USA hasn't generally tracked with hard times at all.

Do hard times spark more crime?


I've grown up my entire life around guns and I am quite proficient, I also read self-defense lit extensively on both sides. An untrained family having a gun in their homes is far more likely to cause a death in the family than it is to save a life in the family. Especially in a time like this when suicides will be a far more common occurrence than home invasion murders.

The Depression of the 1930s offers an excellent illustration of the inconsistent relationship between economics and crime. This was a time of unprecedented economic catastrophe for the United States. By the early ‘30s, more than 3,600 banks had gone under, more than 40% of home mortgages were in default and 1,300 local governments had failed to make obligatory payments. National income had fallen to 54% of 1929 levels. By 1932, an estimated 28% of the nation’s households (34 million people) did not have a single employed wage earner.

With all this misery, did violent crime rise? At first, yes. In 1933, the nationwide homicide mortality rate hit a high for the century up to that point of 9.7 per 100,000 people. In fact, the homicide rate exceeded 9.0 in every year from 1930 to 1934. Only in the “great crime surge” of the 1970s would we again begin seeing rates that alarming.

Do hard times spark more crime?

At this point you have to be an agent trolling. You literally replaced my shyt sonning you with your own post.

The first coronavirus death in the USA was in March, not 2019. 3/4 of the 1000+ coronavirus deaths so far have come in the last 4 days and it is increasing exponentially. Anyone who is not a fukking idiot can see what is happening in Spain and Italy and project how that could look for us.

This is right in line with your usual posting. You are either an agent, a troll, or a tool of them.

Nothing worse on a message board than a bad troll, and @Henry Broadnax is one of the worst. Just an emotional ping pong ball bouncing around in an empty skull, yelling "CAC" and "c00n" at every impact

Wish people the best

Democrats should be ashamed of themselves with that package they signed

these million of people still have to pay their rent/mortgage, utilities, loans, etc

and many will have to use their credit cards and take out retirement money

Don't think Chuck and Nancy wanted to give people any money at all...


this shyt get's worse.. and there's gonna have to be a 4th bill.

Fam, the common flu has a death rate of 0.1%

COVID-19 is already 10-30x that.
