I tried the Grocery pickup from Fry's doesn't work for me many items missing only to be found in the store, and more then once charged for items which were not included.

New cases are levelly off even with packed grocery stores. As time passes immunity numbers rise people who had minor illness will no longer spread it. We need the Antibody test we can release those who have immunity back to normal.

Sorry to break this to the both of you, but it's none of your business how many times per week I go shopping. In some cases, it's necessary to visit supermarkets more often because of the fact that some items are still hard to find at some stores that can be found at others. You can do what you want as far as delivery or curbside, but it doesn't work for everybody.

As far as me contracting this virus or spreading it, I think you'll be reassured that I'm at a fairly low risk. The last time I was truly sick was over 10 years ago, and even then it wasn't critical. Maybe you should focus your concerns on your OWN matters instead of what others do.

I get it man, you need to get out of the house. As long as you're aware that you're contributing to the problem, and it sounds like you are

I run an essential business. I've made no fewer than 50 trips this week to various stores and vendors. So far at most of those stores I would estimate half the customers were wearing masks. In Home Depot I was definitely in the minority as a mask wearing patron. One place I stopped at today the office was the size of a very short double-wide trailer. Out of the 5 employees and 4 customers in that space I was the only one with a mask. I actually found it amusing.

I will continue running my business as I see fit without anyone mandating what I will and won't do. I'm confident that common sense will prevail in spite of all the politician's agenda-driven theatrics and Chicken Little shouting at the sky by the paranoid masses. (Especially people here.)

I know, I know... I'm the problem say the alarmists!

We shall see about that.


Ha!

More buffoonery and corruption will continue to surface I'm sure.

LOL I don't recall anyone talking to you, settle down. I was talking to the guy that complains about getting everything opened back up but not doing his part. The guy complaining about people hiking outdoors meanwhile he's making trip after trip to the store to make sure he has all the ingredients. Seems hypocritical to me

I wasn't addressing anyone in particular. Just a statement of fact and commentary from someone who actually refuses to buy into ALL of the ridiculous and absurd hysteria that our civilized culture (?) has found itself in. People have truly gone insane.

I guess he wasn't able to read your mind. Considering I do was joking about it too (you may have missed the humor in combination with the irony), I too read into your message as well that it was aimed at the last couple of posts. Who wouldn't?

That said, I'm fairly convinced (exclusively because of three loose antibody studies/reports) that the initial mortality rates are in the neighborhood of 15X high/overstated: maybe 30X. In other words, open the spigot gates! I've always been one to take care of myself and my family 1st. Hence, I really could care less if either you or VN visit stores or businesses 24-7.

I don't have a problem unless you're not consistent like the other guy.

I'm running my businesses as normal too, but I've always ran them out of my house. I'm primarily a land development consultant, so when I have gone out the past several weeks, it's to DIRT. In person meetings have been replaced by emails and phone calls. I also own a portion of a controlled access access company in California that has projects all over the country and it's still humming along, workers are wearing protective equipment if needed. There's no hysteria on my end either, but there's calculated risk taking. I'm not going to be licking my fingers at the grocery store for instance I'll use a wipe or a glove to pump gas, etc. Like I've said in other threads, I'm fine if we use a little extra caution and keep things closed awhile longer till we see a decent decline. It's certainly better than suddenly having too many patients and people on ventilators in hallways.

We should lighten up. Maybe he was on the hunt for a specific type of hair color? Being well-groomed will keep you safe from COVID-19!

JUST KIDDING V-N! All in fun.
