Dude, now isn’t the time. Go back to your hole.

Predictions and history are a moot point as this is a different disease with different factors contributing to decisions. Personally, I could care less what CNN or FOX has to say about this...I want to hear from the CDC and the WHO - they are the experts and they are the ones who will provide us with the facts and the direction to make us safe.

Lock your doors:

Funny....seems conspiracy theories are plentiful.....on both sides.

Thanks to all the coaches who stepped up and presented when others were cancelled and couldn't make it. Unique situation no doubt but IFCA pulled it all together. Cheers

The thing that many people fail to appreciate is that, when it comes to fueling hysteria, the “media” is not the bogeyman it once was. That’s because anyone with access to social media is now a member of the “media.” So even if the established news media didn’t blow something out of proportion, you can bet that the social media will. There’s no longer a meaningful distinction between news media and the public on subjects like this.

as in RYAN!!! 😁 Congrats to Ryan O'shea, the O'shea branch just got bigger. Tremendous football family.

Exactly!

Congrats to Ryan O'shea, takin gover Lakeland Lakers, announced tonight

Exactly. I’ll take the scientists and doctors over journalists any day...

I respect your opinion. I agree that the CDC and WHO would be best provider of info.

Happy to see you've entered the 90's. Did you go with America OnLine, or NetZero?

The media didn’t tell us to hoard toilet paper and water, but I think they knew the supply chain would be hampered. Some media I trust, others not so much...

Proud to do my part in upholding the American Way. Traditions are important.

You may be missing my point. I didn't say the CDC was overreacting, I did so precautions are a good idea. And I didn't say anything about media imploring people to stock up. The constant media coverage and is leading people to go out and hoard food and essentials, IMO. I guess since most things are at a stand still they need something to report on. The biggest pandemic in modern times did not cause this massive hysteria.

At this point, those beaches are only closed from the 16th to the 19th this month. I am guessing that will be extended; and I expect other beaches to do the same. I am holding out hope though.

Something tells me the result of that 20 hour ride would be more akin to “Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome”. “Two men enter, one man leaves”. I am best in small doses.....20 hours would tax even Job’s patience.

No typos this time😷

My understanding is that Chatard is now on e-learning with all games and practices suspended through, at least, April 11. Cant speak to other schools.

Be nicer to Trump please. You guys are so unfair.

Trump Gets What He Wants as Federal Reserve Interest Rate Target Drops to Zero: https://reason.com/2020/03/15/trump-gets-what-he-wants-as-federal-reserve-interest-rate-target-drops-to-zero/ Yahoo! Finance gives some context, noting that: President Donald Trump had been jawboning and hectoring Fed chief Jerome Powell to make this drastic interest rate move for a long time to boost "his" economy in an election year. But under current conditions, the move has a high risk of merely extending unnatural bubbles in certain asset values that will eventually crash, leaving monetary policy powerless to help. It has the additional risk of seeding high overall short-term price inflation of the sort we haven't seen in America in over three decades. The last time we've seen an annual price inflation rate over 5 percent, for example, was 1990. The Fed says it will likely keep to these policies until it feels the economy is on the other end of the COVID-19 crisis. Keep buying Gold. And seeds.

Mitigating short term uncertainty and hardship for almost future economic disaster. And of course it will affect our children and grandchildren more than us. 'Tis the American Way.

To hear you whine about it. Mission Accomplished. Enjoy the Echo Chamber.

I don't see any quotes. Must be that linking to the human cesspool known as facebook again.................. Which POTUS are you referring to? All POTUS'es have lied while in office, have they not?
