The CERB benefit from the government can present some interesting situations the way it's structured.

To be eligible, as per the government:...

Nice. Part of the 2nd highest playoff-scoring duo in NBA history right there. Homegrown. Underrated defender too, can lock it down outside and inside....

It survives on surfaces for a couple of days. but it's not airborne, a form of fluid needs to be present to move the pathogen from one place/person to...

Pathetic. (not your post, the content you referred to).

For years traditional media has been on a race to the bottom amongst themselves...

[inthepaint]

That's right. And out of those countless other people, countless will recover and a smaller % (regrettably mostly the more frail with other co-morbidities,...

[inthepaint]

Also, maybe off-topic but a point on youth suicides: it is driven up (considerably) by social isolation, online hostility/negativity, hopelessness for...

I agree that this guy may very well be pulling some numbers out of his ass. That said, it's worth pointing out that ventilators and hospital beds are...

All of the statements below can be reasonably made, depending on the point one's trying to make:

---They lied about their cases. They attributed...

Japan has a population of 126.8 million and 2384 cases. That's 0.0018% of their population. Out of that 0.0018%, you're gonna get your 80% with mild to...

Well that settles then. We'll all stay home indefinitely and have some government feed us forever; heck someone already pointed out there's less polution/better...

[inthepaint]

No way. Economy be damned, get out of here with your balanced views. Better be safe and continue to suck on the government teets until they have a vaccine...

[inthepaint]

I disagree that is beside the point. It's context and perspective. I'm not suggesting "ending mitigation measures" - it's possible to follow...

I see both angles. I personally respect it, try to tell my kids why things are like this, even cancelled my son's birthday party that he was looking forward...

[inthepaint]

I can see that reaction from some people in the medical field. For the most part they have very stable jobs that are typically insulated from recession,...

[inthepaint]

Not to worry, I didn't take it personally. I used your term "fuck around with a pandemic" because while it aptly describes how (unfortunately)...

[inthepaint]

Yeah with relatively few exceptions I don't think anyone is "fucking around with a pandemic" or saying is not serious. What I think some people...

[inthepaint]

There are all sorts of theories and things online, and these days with people sitting around at home with time on their hands, even more. All that stuff...

[inthepaint]

So, what are some of the odd/strange/curious things you guys noticed in other people's behaviour during the pandemic lockdown (if any)?

...

[inthepaint]

Right now probably none. The NBA is actually trying to branch out of the states more but at this point you'd probably see a team in Mexico City, Vegas...

My wife is a nurse. Things are of course different from place to place, but here she hasn't had to deal with cases yet. She tells me they're all geared...
