I thought it was over when they shut us down again. At least it's over for SoCal. NorCal may have a season still. Other than San Francisco, it looks like parts of the bay area may have school too.
No Soccer - Bad / No School - Catastrophic!

Yes, which means we are all stuck together for a long time
The fact is the cases will most likely go up. If you get lucky and pass the 14 days, a nurse will be at the guard and someone will get the corona and all panic all over again. This will not work and it's not supposed to work.

They may not be bad people... but what they're doing is illegal. If we want people to come here legally and earn a fair wage, we need to stop encouraging illegals to come here by tearing down the border wall and promising "free" healthcare at the expense of the American taxpayer. Fucking liberals will promise ANYTHING for votes.

With more testing you will have more cases. Let's all crawl under the rock and wait?

The "system" won't work for most people without support. But the opportunity to achieve is there for everybody.
Caffeine IS a drug.
The business owners who are making millions are cheating as well and money is tempting. Get real Outlaw.

I REALize that, Spicoli, which is why I'm saying to stop the border crossings. If there ARE no illegals to hire, there ARE no illegals to exploit. People waiting to come here know, and are willing to do, those same jobs. Let them do it for a fair wage.
I swear they said back in March that it was about keeping death down and flat the curve. Now all we here on the news is more cases and more cases and shut her down and no sports. Were all infected by the bat virus folks. Some % will have no idea and will carry on in life. He could also be the guy who died last night in a motor cycle accident and be counted as a Corvid death. Other % will feel something and take it easy. Still other % will feel like sh*t and sleep for 6 days like Dom did and I did. Mine was 4 days with two really horrible nights like someone poking me with hot needles and my back killed me. Hard time breathing. I chalked it up as a bad ass flu type cough. I still had the sniffles for weeks and I'm sure got others sick. Some % with underlying heath issues will have a real hard time and race to ER. Some % will die ((mostly over 80)) because the bat virus was too much for them. Some % of kids will die by a shark attack and 10% of those victims will have corona and not know it. This should not be counted in covid death math but it would if it did happen. It's not about keeping up the Joneses anymore, it's about keeping up with the Cases.
Collectively, stop getting tested people. There is zero point but punitive.
Nothing unreasonable about Newsom's guidelines. And sounds like those of you that were adamant about remote learning including live instruction/discussion are going to get some of that. I'm not looking forward to it, I'd prefer the kids could go back to school, but for middle class and up families I just don't get the outrage. It's actually a good opportunity for our very comfortable kids to learn some resilience. But again, I don't have the outrage disease that seems to have taken over our culture, regardless of your political views. It's all temporary folks! Everything is always changing. Most of the time for the better.
Hey Big D, I sure hope your right. I'm trying to think that way but each day the news is getting worse. You do understand many many people are leaving the state. My bro lives in Kauai and no one is coming to the islands. He loves it for now but knows when his extra $600 a week goes away he will need to find work.

The outrage is about few people abusing power and about whole bunch of sheep going along with it.
The outrage is we are asking kids to sacrifice for the sake of older Americans, when it's usually been the other way around and we bear sacrifices for our kids. Yet, the government said boo about the protests (and some even encouraged), the marijuana shops/liquor stores/home depots are open. You can't play soccer but an outdoor dance class is o.k. They lie to us about the masks, the length of lockdowns, and what the lockdowns were about and we say "o.k. can we have some more". If you think this is just short term you are kidding yourself....most public school districts cannot flip the switch on and off like that. And yes, it sucks I'm having to pay heavy duty fees for above par online learning at my kids private school....but at least he gets to do it from the comfort of our Utah condo and gets to wander out into the woods every day and have a swim in the afternoon. I worry most about the kids that will be a year behind in learning and the inequity that will result to the most vulnerable and poor among our children.

Get off the fence it's a clear and simple issue. At some point be a parent and take a stand...should kids be in school or not?
No one likes to talk about the fact the US has tested the most people of any country in the world (sans China....who just puts up any ole number they want). We’ve tested over 46 Million people. That’s almost double the next closest country (Russia) who has only tested 24 Million.

You keep mentioning Sweden, but it has 3 to 4 times the deaths of Norway, Denmark & Finland, for little to no economic gain (globalization). They also trusted their citizens to be sensible, stay at home, keep distance, wash hands etc., which worked to a certain extent. Maybe their approach is right, maybe not - nobody knows yet ...
From the article
"Sweden had the highest rate of new cases of all European Union states, barring Luxembourg, in the past couple of weeks. That partly reflects that the country finally, after many false starts, has been able to ramp up testing. However, it also indicates that the the virus remains more widespread than in most countries that have implemented more stringent measures."
Swedish PM Defends Covid Plan as Immunity Fails to Catch On
Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Lofven said he’s in no doubt his country’s highly controversial strategy for fighting Covid-19 remains appropriate.

The Governor was explaining social distancing with his kids and his example was about his caregiver. How many besides Messy and Woobie have a caregiver? I love being my son and dd caregiver and I would never ever give that away to a caregiver or even pay for a caregiver. Hey, to each his own
Why bring me into this...and what makes you think I have a caregiver for my kids? The only caregivers my kids have ever had are my wife and I as well as the occasional grandparent watching when we have gone away for a night or two. GTFOH...you have no idea what your talking about....
Why have kids if you don’t want to raise them? Our job is to make sure they turn into good people. Not judgmental, lazy, unaccountable, irresponsible drains on society.

My point is that if you are going to lead, lead. Don't divide. What good can possibly come from any leader saying something like this? Say, for instance, your child's history teacher said this before a lesson. It's just not useful.

The difference between you & I:
To which I'd respond...and he created a multi-billion dollar company and was elected President of the greatest Country on earth....only in America, aren't we blessed.
Instead, I'm sure you teach your kid to shit on America, like those you embrace.
