That is the most honest thing I've heard in this thread in awhile.

Don't worry about what is the truth, not what is accurate, But....what I LIKE.

We need to LIKE our news before it becomes believable. At-a-boy!!!

You do know the FACTS of that story are a matter of public record, right?

States health department records I can look up from here from anywhere.

Even you could double check it for truth.

Please.

If you're going to hate, do it right. Check your facts BEFORE you hate.

Keeps egg of the face.

Need a napkin?

Half kidding/half not, he is pretty outspoken for a former hockey player:

In November 2019, Cherry was fired by Sportsnet from Hockey Night in Canada for comments that suggested Canadian immigrants benefit from the sacrifices of veterans but do not wear Remembrance Day poppies.

Calm down with the insults because I have not once disrespected your “opinion”. That’s a fact. Anyway, They were inputting fake numbers. Facts. The one in Florida was not even qualified for her job. Facts. She also has a criminal investigation against her. Facts. They were disgruntled employees with an apparent agenda. They disobeyed their supervisors. If numbers are entered wrong skewing stats. Guess what, those stats are then wrong. From the beginning is seems like many stats keep changing. Strange

More and more it’s being reported that the cure is probably worse than the disease. People unable to get tested or treatment for every day diseases or chronic illness. Yes the numbers are being questioned. Add to that the deaths being reported in nursing homes. It’s posted in this thread about doctors questions about this whole episode. And the death count. The doomsayers as the numbers change and the country opens will resort to name calling. It’s what they do. There’re numbers out there to please everyone. The one that count are in the states that open first. Not the infection count. It’s whether the hospitals can handle any the additional cases. That’s what the whole exercise was for.

Spoke to a friend last night who owns a growing restaurant chain in the midwest. Prior to the virus, 4-5 new stores opening up, current stores killing it. In comes the virus....switched to carryout and delivery but still down 85%. Floated idea of bankruptcy. Doing everything right as a business and possibly losing it due to the order to shut down....not right. Now, open at 25% capacity and business is down 20% overall. Hosts/dishwashers are "afraid" to come back to work (i.e. Unemployment pays better). Wish people could be monitored to see where they "aren't afraid" to go while they collect unemployment. I think the unemployment is good for those that truly need it, but there are way too many people who could work but choose not to at this point. BTW, we have less than 120 cases, 7 deaths, in our area with a population of 200,000.

There’s 3 National chain buffet type restaurants in my town. One has opened. I noticed at one McDonald’s in my town the lobby is open. You can’t eat there though.

There is where it get in trouble straight away.

Giving an opinion and calling it a fact

Perfect example really

NO ONE is telling the truth at this time.

That's a fact.

Fact is now that you fact checked the information seems CNN was on the money

At least this time.

Everyone at this point benefits from their version of the 'truth' or 'facts', take your pick, in one way or another. They do this so freely now NO ONE knows the truth but the dead and the dead know nothing at all.

I've stopped posting charts on this because of this fact. I hold on to nothing that doesn't remain in the light. Trolls don't live in the light. I'll refrain from calling you a name then saying I don't disrespect your opinions.

Seems...well.... I don't know what it seems.

As I said in the previous post. Truth has nothing to do with it anymore.

Print it, speak it, believe it.

Whatever you need to believe

Welcome to the real world. Every one lies. Every thing is political. Every one has an agenda. I know where you’re coming from, and you know where I’m coming from. There is a middle ground. I think we’re approaching it. Watch Florida, Georgia, Texas, Colorado. There was a declaration of war on the bug. We dug our trenches, learned our enemy, time to advance. Like any war there are casualties. Yes, it’s tragic.

Last day for this thread since y'all just want to name call and argue BS stuff. This thread has become a broken record, same thing being said over and over again. To what end?

So everyone (all 4 or 5 of you) get their last bit of "facts" posted, because end of day thread will be gone and you can quit sitting around in your underwear being a keyboard warrior.

For those that want to hide until they can be guaranteed not to get the Covid-19, do so. Those that want to resume a more normal life do so, safely.

I've got over 300 guys working in states, at local/state governments requests, that have been on lock down.

I bring this up only to point out that NONE of us has gotten the Covid-19 in the last 60 or so days. So you can survive this.

So, again, post your facts, alternative facts, news or fake news. Oh and don't report someone, then make the same type of post that you just reported.

Edit to add: Thread will stay open until Memorial Day

I’m living a normal life with just minor precautions. It’s a shame you’re ending this thread when every other day we get another oil change thread. People don’t have to click on it. I realize this is a truck site. It’s nice to be able to discuss other things that really matter, with out browsing multiple sites. I thought my answer to GB was very reasonable and it’s gone. I’m disappointed and may go the way of this thread. Doesn’t matter I know. Cheers.

Prefer getting my news from Don Cherry, instead of Don Lemon, like his stance on Canadian immigration.

Lol...remove the thread big boy!

None that you know about of course because you have tested all 300 for antibodies? I guess we all get our "facts" out..............

If you’re on any prescription drugs read the cautions that go with it. Hell just read the back of aspirin. Nothing new here.

Somehow I doubt the antimalarial drug boxes have COVID-19 related warnings on them...
