Coronavirus Thread III: The Show Must Not Go On (READ OP)

[Luminesa]

And that attitude is why Tennessee and Florida are about to see a shockwave of COVID cases, cause they thought closing everything down was a stupid idea.

Lumen is at this again? Wow.

I mean I’m not surprised. Clearly we’re not listening to the right expert when we listen to Dr. Fauci or the Surgeon General on TV. Nope.

[Luminesa]

Can Coronavirus destroy human civilization?

Could? Lots of crazy hypotheticals will present themselves. Will? No.

[San Lumen]

Because that is one on one treatment. No one should have to make an appointment to browse clothing on a rack or table

In normal circumstances, sure. These are not normal circumstances.

It’s absurd In all circumstances

[Andsed]

It’s absurd In all circumstances

Nope. Right now we need to prevent crowding. So it is a perfectly sensible thing to do. Reservations and appointment are done by countless institutions. Malls and gyms being added into the list is not absurd.

[Loben The 2nd]

I mean, considering how crowded a mall can get, it’s not always a bad idea to limit how many people go in. For Black Friday they had to limit how many people could get into the local Bath and Body Works, since more people were going in than the Fire Marshal would allow. This is not ALL that different. And going to the gym sometimes also requires scheduling, depending on where you go. You still get to go to those places, sometimes having less traffic is not a bad thing.

I should be able to go to mall or gym whenever I want during their operating hours. I shouldn’t have to book a time to go or reserve a spot at the bar weeks in advance

No.

If their doing curbside pick up you are not.

I have lots of questions. I will give you more soon. I can't think for now.

[Novus America]

Can Coronavirus destroy human civilization?

Of course not.

Hopefully by exposing many weaknesses of our current global order though it will change it though.

Yes it is. You really think people are going to book a time to go to the mall? We might as well not reopen them at all and mandate all shopping must be done online until there is a vaccine

You are complaining about the most asinine things during a fucking pandemic.

People will do it, if it means they get a chance to go out to the mall again. The only one taking this to extremes and throwing a massive fit over not being able to walk around JC Penney is you.

I’m not an expert, I can only mention what little I know from the news. But I can happily suggest you stay safe and take care of yourself. There’s lots of little self-care things you can do at home, to keep yourself and others safe.

Yes I do. They already do with restaurants and spas. There is nothing absurd about it. It is a perfectly sensible measure to prevent crowding.

[The Alma Mater]

If social distancing is still necessary at the time then yes.

I’m sorry but that is ridiculous

What measures would you consider to be sensible ?

[Valrifell]

Nobody has said that we should ban things until there's a vaccine, that's been exclusively you this entire time. Please stop saying it, nobody actually wants that.

[Loben The 2nd]

Sacrificing grandma to moloch.

That's not sensible at all.
Moloch only likes baby flesh.

[Loben The 2nd]

Moloch in this case being wall street

[Nobel Hobos 2]

It’s still absurd and I doubt many would go for it



Doesn’t answer my question. How are you going to do a ballet or theatre production if you have to keep social distancing?

You're awfully attached to the performing arts in New South Wales. And here I thought you lived in New York. A person might think that you are freaking out for no good reason and should probably stop coming to this website when that seems to happen to you every day.

Yet people accept such rationing when they visit a popular restaurant. I'm not proposing anything much different: if you turn up and it's too crowded you don't get seated unless you have a booking. If you really object to it, you can turn up anyway, you might get lucky on a quiet night, they'll give you a seat and feed you.

To really finish off your analogy, one of the examples you chose yourself sometimes has to ration places. There's a rush after work and you may be turned away if the gym is too full and you haven't booked.

A restaurant is one thing. But the mall or gym? No

Gyms do sometimes ration places.

I had an argument typed up, but now I think better of it. We could all use a break.

[The Alma Mater]

That's not sensible at all.

If Moloch will eat us all if he is not appeased that's understandable.

I should be able to go to mall or gym whenever I want during their operating hours. I shouldn’t have to book a time to go or reserve a spot at the bar weeks in advance

At some restaurants you have to reserve a spot and many have dress codes. Are you against those?

Essentially what you are saying here is that you shouldn't have to change how you behave to account for the life-threatening situation we are currently living through. Think about that.

[Thermodolia]

Yes it is ridiculous

And that attitude is why Tennessee and Florida are about to see a shockwave of COVID cases, cause they thought closing everything down was a stupid idea.

It’s gotten to the point that the police is posting officers outside homes to keep people self quarantined

[Thermodolia]

Very simple. Have bouncers there and require people show a pass or something showing they scheduled an appointment.

Still a ludicrous idea and something I think many would object too

If this thread is anything to go by not many will object to it. Hell a poll was released that said 70% of Americans would continue to social distance even after the government said everything is ok

[The Greater Ohio Valley]

I can sorta understand where Lumen is coming from, he’s lost his job that he likely won’t be getting back so it’s possible he either just doesn’t care anymore or is struggling with things even more now. I can honestly sympathize and I want to see him get better, I’d give him a hug if I could.

Oh my giddy aunt. How many times does it have to be said even if we lifted all restrictions tomorrow billions wouldn't die yet people continue to act like they would.
