Breaking social distancing laws.

It was recovering before the War. It is, no doubt. It still recovered though, you are speaking as though civilisation itself would collapse and we would be cast down to being hunter-gatherers like the savage Indians of the American Plains going all "Hey how are you, hey how are you, let me scalp you I am Buffalo Child". It is not going to do that, chappy.

Not sure how you could charge them with that.

Reckless endangerment is a crime consisting of acts that create a substantial risk of serious physical injury to another person. The accused person isn't required to intend the resulting or potential harm, but must have acted in a way that showed a disregard for the foreseeable consequences of the actions.

Yeah the stock market is only tanking, the air travel industry is losing money rapidly, Broadway is worried about some shows never opening, and unemployment insurance systems are crashing. yeah things are going great.

For fucks sake, either respond to the content of the fucking post or just don't reply at all. Quit this ridiculous non-sequitur bullshit.

The coronavirus thread is reaching 500 glorious pages of discussion, so I thought I'd go create the new one. A link to the old one can be found here:
viewtopic.php?f=20&t=480001

As the world goes into lockdown, as politics turns truly crazy, as the stockmarket sinks and Eurovision gets cancelled (by the far the worst of the 4), Nationstates forever goes on, so we can discuss what to do about the other things. If you like live feeds that count up the dead like some morbid census, you can find a great one here:
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/
Right now, at the start of coronavirus thread 2, there were 11949 deaths. With a vaccine likely to take up to a year to develop, it isn't getting any better soon.

So now, let's chat about this years 'we're all gonna die' moment.

Great, now people are gonna think this is actually happening

I did respond. What's non sequitur about it? It spoke facts

None of which respond to anything in my post.

Why not charge everyone with that who doesn't maintain six feet distance at the supermarket? Should everyone carry a tape measure at all times?

Friendly reminder that scalping was introduced to the native Americans by the Europeans. Never forget that technological advancement does not necessarily correlate to social advancement. We had a country that proved that point. It was called Nazi Germany.

Do you think Broadway would be doing any better if all their audiences, cast, and crew all got sick and loads of them died?

Considering how many technofascists there are on NSG, I would assume that everyone here would know that.

Well. I guess except the technofascists.
