I just love waking up and staring up in the air and seeing whirling pieces of pork over me... of course, I mean the fan blades...

You would think that, and only you! :icon18::icon18::icon18::icon18:

All this talk about re-opening states on the news, because people are protesting? I'm sorry, but it is too damn early to be opening back up. And FCUK the protestors! HEALTH > WEALTH!

From the WSJ:
But the anti-lockdown demonstrations erupting around the country are the canary in the coronavirus mine shaft. Much of America is about to follow them out of the mines.

Here’s why.

The economic imperative is well documented. Economic suicide is not normal behavior, so expect small shops and restaurant franchise owners to start opening quietly, as anecdotes suggest they are.
[...]
Blue states such as New York, New Jersey, Illinois and California can persist with tight lockdowns if they wish, but other, less densely populated states with better coronavirus data won’t wait.

As to the virus itself, it’s impossible to keep regarding it as an unstoppable daily plague. It has to become something we can grasp.

The most persuasive argument for the lockdowns, made by Anthony Fauci and Deborah Birx from day one, was flattening the curve to avoid collapsing the hospital system. Americans by the millions acceded to that suppression strategy and accomplished its goal: Hospital capacity is returning in most major cities. Capacity in other locked-down states never became an issue.
With Covid and the hospitals, we are near an inevitable moment: Covid will be managed like a chronic disease, not as the only disease.

Post-peak coronavirus will be a battle, but it won’t be D-Day. The whole country just did coronavirus D-Day, and we survived. With or without official permission, with or without New York and California, the American people are going to self-release from their coronavirus isolation and get back to business.

These aren’t Trumpian mobs. It is not the rise of anti-science. It is humanity re-establishing social equilibrium. For that, we don’t need instruction.

I have neighbors with zero money coming in. Been out of work since the end of Feb. Self employed. Can't get unemployment in this state. These people was making 6 figure incomes. And have the bills to match. The bills keep coming in. They can't pay them. V to V. What would you do? Try to go back to work, or let the banks take back the house and the vehicles that you worked so hard to get. Tough decision? Until you have been in their shoes. You really don't know on how it feels to tell your kids that they might have to move out of the house.

You can-also express your freedom not to open your business and as a consumer you don’t have to go out in public and participate in the reopening of anything. Stay home close the windows and shades and wait until you feel things are safe

I participated in the protest because the government can’t tell you that if you own a second home you can’t travel there and use it all the while you’re making payments and paying taxes ! But if you live in Ohio and have a second place in mich. its ok to travel and use your place :gtfo2:
I can’t buy paint at Home Depot but I can get it at Ace hardware :gtfo2:
Government can’t pick winners and losers ! You can kayak, canoe, paddle board but you can’t use a boat with a motor :gtfo2: this is the GREAT LAKES STATE

Everyone takes risks everyday, we know what we’re dealing with take the precautions necessary and get on with life ..... or not, you have that freedom

I didn’t do anything with my Z34 today, but I did take a photo because Mars, Jupiter and Saturn are lined up. 500mm lens, 2 x Teleconverters and a lot of stacking / processing in photoshop. Ticked something off the bucket list and it beats thinking about the virus

Changing the subject, has Kim Jong Un popped his clogs? You know the little fella whose country got upset because British barbers mocked his hair style (he made trumps look good) don’t forget Boris looks like a pidgeon has bested on his bonce. But if the little industrious Korean little fella has snuffed it, have a heart and sing along with his old man

I do see it from both points of view, and both sides have valid points. BUT, based on the media (and I get to take this with a grain of salt), protestors are being reckless and we are moving backwards and losing ground to this virus. I'm for opening up businesses, as I will be visiting strip clubs, but, if we are not making progress with this virus, then humanity will disappear. I think both sides should come to a medium.
