  • Yeah there’s no defending this guy. I would guess he gets 2nd degree or manslaughter. The rioting is stupid as well. I haven’t seen one person defend the cop. I also don’t think one bad egg represents how all cops are.

  • Not at all. I never vote a straight one party ticket and I approve of the people I have voted for. Of all the people I voted for that won office Husted is probably the one I have questioned the most during this time but he’s in a really tough position.

    Why did DeWine backtrack on wearing masks?

    I understand you can't eat or drink with a mask, but wearing one is a small inconvenience (except for exercise) to be able to go out and do stuff.  Just seems irresponsible to open back up and not require masks.

    Before people say masks don't really help, Cuomo reported that healthcare workers in NY had below average rates of infection, and that's with them being tested far more than other groups.  That would indicate to me that masks provide some protection, but maybe only N95 (which DO suck to wear for extended periods of time).

     

     

    He flipped the next day after requiring them because so many people complained that they couldn’t wear one. There was a lot of excuses some more legit then others like autism.

    Right, so doesn’t this, along with more people having it than originally thought, make the mortality rate amongst the general public pretty low? I’m not downplaying the elderly deaths either, but it isn’t like it spread organically in all cases, if they basically sent sick patients in to a facility which then infected others. 

    I was looking at the Ohio stats the other day. I’m sure they have updated since then but it was 10,600 cases reported in age 49 and less and only 27 deaths. Now how many people under 49 have had it without being tested shows the rate is extremely low for people under 50.

  • I literally miss everything about sports at this point.  I miss golf, I miss NHL playoffs, I miss NBA playoffs, and I miss spring football.

     

    As a CBJ season ticket holder I miss hockey the most right now. I am thankful for the UFC, NFL Draft and the Jordan documentary without those I may Have went nuts by now.

     

    The worst part is I think this will end my soccer playing days. I’ve played for 32-33 years straight and I think after this I will retire the cleats. I think the longest I went without play with was like 9 months when I transferred from Rutgers to OU. Got burned out on soccer Freshmen year at Rutgers and it took me awhile to regain that fire. 
     

    I have been thinking about going into coaching so it might be time to give back to the youth when this is over.

  • I watched the UFC 249 PPV this weekend and it was nice to get sports back. 
     

    what I don’t understand is sports fans who say they don’t want to have sports come back or won’t watch if there are no fans.

  • Got it today probably will go Vegas or towards the Patio we’re putting in. Just trying to decide if I can sneak a hot tub in past the HOA noses.

  • I checked yesterday and it now says my deposit should be in tomorrow. I was one of the people who the system couldn’t find for a few weeks so you guys should check and see if yours updated to.

  • Groceries have went up but that’s more then offset by not eating out. I’m guessing our next electric bill will go up since my wife is working from home.

  • SARS which is probably the closest virus we have seen to corona the average immunity lasted two years. For everyone saying wait for a vaccine you need to realize that vaccines are also based on immunity.

  • It’s funny that you say people not wearing masks are going to keep us in longer. 
     

    There are two ways to get back to normal. The first is we get a vaccine. The second is we get herd immunity. Someone going out without a mask isn’t keeping us in any longer. They are putting themselves and others in a more dangerous situation but they are not making this last longer. 
     

    Looking at death rates the odds of someone dying under the age of 50 are very very low. I would protect the vulnerable and let everyone else go about their business with social distancing and mask wearing. As long as we don’t overwhelm hospitals we need to open up as much as possible.

    Not talking you specifically, but I can imagine a lot of people are more concerned about getting their dog groomed than they are getting their hair cut.

    My wife trimmed the back of my hair last week and around my ears. Then she cut the hair in my dogs eyes. His has grown back already and is covering his eyes again. He will probably have to be shaved for the first time since we got him. 
     

    I actually joined Hammer n Nails in Westerville. It’s a men’s grooming shop. I get a cut and straight razor shave every month. I love going there because you get free bourbon will you get your services done. I kept my membership going so I’m racking up credits the longer this goes. I’ll probably spend a whole day there drinking getting a cut shave pedicure and manicure when it reopens.

    Why won't Trump turn his Twitter sites at China.  Their state media is going all out in blaming this thing on the US.  The more they flood the world with this crap, the more traction it may get.  He should very publically acknowledge what China is doing with its state media.  Direct some of that nastiness to President Xi instead of Pelosi or the news media.  

    He was going after China and the media released an internal memo saying their strategy was to pass blame to China.
