We have done Mexican, Jersey Mike's, and our fave fried chicken place once each, Chinese and Raimo's of Amityville three times each all since late March. We order more than enough for two or more nights. I still have 25 lbs of venison and a few packages of frozen fish from last year but hope that these places can survive and feel good about ordering. I do pickup and all are masked and often gloved and nearly all allow and encourage ordering online so no waiting on the phone. Being one of those useless lazy pensioners, I am spending that $2400 that way.

Every day is Saturday.

They can make it but it’s not born out by the numbers

across the world over 99.5 percent of the population
Don’t die

so while you can try to spin it that way it would be 100 percent wrong

a little simple math yet again
Just in the USA we have
320 million ppl and 75 th thousands deaths
320 million suffering 75 thousand dead if you took into account the suffering of everyone of them and their families grief you wouldn’t come any where near being the many

if 10 times that many died you still wouldn’t be the many

at some point in time your going to need to come to the realization that what you are playing into
Is a fantasy

The new normal is going to come down to deal with it

You see it already with airlines and mask
They can’t yes read can’t force ppl to wear mask
And can’t again read can’t cut capacity and survive
And the world cant again read can’t get along without air travel

same thing across all industries many of these precautions are simply illusions, they can’t be maintained

I’ll even use myself as an ex.
I can limit my capacity for a minute
I can limit or do away with the cabin seating for a minute
I can provide sanitizer and soap and water
Wear mask and gloves

I can’t stop ppl from puking I can’t stop it from raining
Or snowing or being cold
So while I can do things for a minute
I can’t do them forever and I can’t stop ppl from puking not even for a minute

so either ppl will adjust to it or I’ll be finished so no big deal I’m finished
I sell I drift off into retirement
But so does the entire industry and every captain and every crew with it

same with restaurant's
Can’t wear a mask when you eat
Can’t stop ppl from using the head
Can’t
Can’t cant

it’s the old way and I deal with it and fast or
Take out forever

you do the rest your a smart guy
Look at every industry and you figure out how long they can survive at limited capacity before they fold up

The needs of the many out weigh the needs of the few
And once again 200000 not even 2000000 can become the many vs 320 million or
The many billions across the world

If your whole post is predicated on a 0.5% death rate you would be 100% wrong and that would make the rest of your post irrelevant.

The reason that number is not ridiculously high is BECAUSE of the lockdown. Dont you get that?

We can't stay lock downed forever - eventually we will find out who has immunity.

It’s not it’s on the fact that it could be 10 x higher and still not meet the
Criteria of being the many

the body must survive the arms expendable

Well, I do not agree fully with some of what you said. As far as accountants, they still need to pass a tough test NOT controlled by universities. And trust me, there skills are evaluated pretty quickly in the workplace.

I am sure it would be the same for the other professions mentioned.

On the other hand, I did hear that new doctors (in various states) had their licenses expedited because of the sheer need for physicians.

So here is my thought. If that young new doctor thrown into the fires of this pandemic survived both physically and mentally and was commended by their peers, well I would be more than confident and honored to have that person as my doctor.

how bout the ones in school now
Not the ones finishing
Sure some need to pass an external test
Most dont

I beg to differ on the ones you mentioned. Maybe some others, but not those.

My worry is the kids from K-12.

Maybe some one can explain this to me.
Supermarkets, walmart,home depot,lowes,liquor stores,
pot stores,7/11,quick chek to name a few all remained open the entire time.
I wonder how many of their employees have become ill or died.
Seems to me if these employers can manage to keep their
workers safe why can't every other store or business do the same.

I’ve wondered the same thing

and if the entire population of the city state and country can filter through these locations en mass like they do
What’s the difference if they go from the grocery store to the clothing store or hair salon
The store clerk and hair dresser just left the wall mart anyway

this is nothing more than absolute stupidity and the scariest part of all is the number of ppl here on this site and throughout the state willing to play along with it
Because the fantasy makes them feel safe

Here’s an even better one
You can take a trip on an 80 foot ferry from the highlands to nyc and back
And a 60 foot water taxi from brooklyn to nyc and back

but you can’t get on a 75 foot party boat
Kinda makes you go hmmm

News Flash, 33 million Americans out of work, that’s sum serious numbers... it’s gonna cause damage...

Guess I was wrong at odds wit Mr. Wader, comparing CV to September 11... surely this CV is worse than that time nearly 20 years ago.., but the vision of the Twin Towers crashing is unforgettable... cellie...

Tony - i think we all know your position on this thing by now. Why not give it a rest before you blow a blood vessel or something?

"Well, it's alright.
.............even if you're old and gray."
"Well, it's alright.
............you still got something to say."

One of my partners was approached by a person in an impoverished school district where they were struggling to keep the education going. My IT director was able to round up and re-purpose 25 laptops from our office to donate to that school district in our area. We are hearing the stories.
