Those of you who react and respond reasonably and with clarity of thought I applaud you all. You are the people who help me to maintain my declining faith in humanity.

Those of you who are over reacting, parroting fatalistic news reports, and politicizing the current situation suck. You suck.

Please be part of the solution and not part of the problem.

I am all about the economy as I have run multiple businesses and I currently run them.

But, here's what happened in 1918: https://www.history.com/news/spanish...esponse-cities

See the difference? I could post a chart of the difference in responses but you get the idea. The alternative was to test early and often with selected shutdowns but we missed that boat.

If people would just listen to experts, this could have already been over as far as flattening the curve and everyone could go back to work. If we all sacrifice a little now, we can make it better for the entire country. If we would just do it now, it would be over much quicker and we could get back to enjoying spring training, etc.

It just does not make economic or moral sense to open everything back up and infect and kill more people. I wish we could get every state and the federal government saying close down everything and let's get it done.

The bottom line is we just sacrifice a little bit and stay home for a few weeks until we can get a handle on this (and yes, I recognize that some need $ to stay home and since the government - at least some parts - asked us to do that, then these people need to be reimbursed).

Two months ago I started teaching my 14yo Daugherty how to drive. Everything else pales in comparison honestly.
