Videos from a concert held in Southampton on Saturday show egregious social distancing violations. I am appalled.

The Department of Health will conduct an investigation.

The responses to this tweet are hilarious.  A lot of mental gymnasitcs going on trying to justify a certain type of large gathering (protests) vs another (concerts, funerals, etc). 

Cuomo wont do shit about it.  If it were a church, someone would have been arrested already.

Dbag Chainsmokers. Long Island has been going wild since they opened.

Went by 2 local schools on my run today, saw a soccer team and a football team.  No masks on anyone even though they are supposed to have them when not exercising, no social distancing at all.

My question is why isnt there 1,000 HS kids sick right now in Ohio?  THey have been at sports since the last week of May.

Went into the office for the first time in over 4 months today to have some software installed on my computer and pick up some stuff off my desk. It was weird. Maybe 5 employees total on the 4 floors we occupy.

Empty offices are creepy as fuck.

Mine officially closed last week. I did a final clean out of my desk on Friday. Surreal feeling. I have no idea when I'm going back.

I heard from someone that covid only infects 0.001% of the population which amounts to about 116 Ohioans so statistically they won't get sick.

Move the decimal point over two spaces...probably 100,000 kids have been exposed already, since they are young and don't have underlying conditions, the most harm they can do is be an asymptotic transmitter

Is there a 0.1% or a 0.001% chance of infection for them?

Please don’t ask CC to move decimals over, he can’t handle that kind of math

Rep'd and quoted for truth. If a person is blaring their "truths" while being too stupid to do the math to see if they're even remotely correct, they deserve to have that thrown in their face every damn time they spew their stupidity.

It was stupid, I agree.  But it's been played out.  Not to worry, he'll provide a new opportunity regularly.

It will always be funny 5% of the time

It’s not been played out. 

Little advice, when 5+ posters constantly bring it up and laugh, and then you are the only one that says “come on guys it’s not funny anymore” you’re the wrong one.

Yeah, I still laughed.

I would agree with you if he had just messed up the math and that was it. If that was the case and we were still on him about it, we would have gone too far too long.

However, the fact that he repeatedly called other poster(s) stupid WHILE he messed up the math, makes it still rather funny and not over played.
