food

and especially pizza is much cheaper at the grocery

and most folks that can't afford two weeks of food at the grocery probably wasted their budgets on toilet paper

This is really a stupid argument FF.  I can get an XL from my cheapest take-out place for $6.  That's cheaper than the grocery store for the same amount of food by weight. It is NOT more expensive, it simply isn't.

I also don't have to wait in a multiple-hours-long line around hundreds of potentially infected people to do it.  I can wait in my car and interact with only one person, a person I never come into close contact with.  

Again, this is a stupid hill to die on but your trademark is stirring the pot on stupid shit so I'll leave you to it.

volume of food by weight and the pizza shop beats the grocery?

and it's cheaper

you win

we should close walmart and the grocery and have everyone go thru the McDonalds drive thru and olive garden for curb service or just get Dominos to deliver stacks of pizza

I don't go to Walmart ever

I'm relatively fearless regarding most things in life, but Walmart is scary 

Iowa's salons, barber shops, medical spas, massage therapists, tattoo shops and swimming pools will be closed until March 31, Gov. Kim Reynolds announced at a news conference Sunday.

She signed an executive order Sunday, which will take effect at 10 p.m., she said. She has also suspended foreclosures on residential, commercial and agriculture properties.

stay home if you feel ill


why not simply stay home if you don't need to be out and about

some folks are contagious w/o feeling symptoms

Same thing for a checker at the grocery store.

No difference at all, except the checker is processing far more people per day.

So, there's no argument at all.

Heck, YOU'RE the one that was arguing in favor of food trucks just yesterday. 

I was explaining his point.  You seemed not to fathom it.

I just saw a news item that Border Patrol uncovered a large stash of toilet paper coming in from Mexico.  It was hidden under a pile of cocaine.

Gives a whole new meaning to the word "crackhead"

this week shut down hair salons

next week?

then the week after that

until it's too late, then ban all unneeded activity

the only explanation is to ease folks into this so they don't panic - I think most are past that point

The most dangerous thing, is that these half-measuers are already burning out the populace.  By the time we get to the "ban all unneeded activity" point, a large chunk of people will have already been hunkered down for 4 weeks.  Then you're going to ask them do do another 2 months?  

Good luck with that.

Like CD already said, we're realistically only a couple weeks away from the point where we're going to have to abandon it completely and let it run its course. I;m not advocating that, it's certainly not what I'd like to see, but that's where we're going to find ourselves.
