The social-distancing deniers have arrived

No, that's about 35K since the beginning, much more than one month. Latest estimate (on CNN about 15 minutes ago) projects 60K US deaths total.

Look at some data. How many deaths total did we have on Mar 31? 5k or less.

That's 30k deaths this month and we're only on the 17th and deaths per day is still increasing.

If we only have 2k/day the rest of the month, we finish the month over 60k dead in one month.

The Darwin Awards have no such rule.

The rules literally state that one has to be sterile or any existing children be deceased. The whole point of the award is the removal of one's genetics from the population, which can't happen after procreation.

No, they don't.

Nominee must be dead or rendered sterile
This may be subject to dispute. Potential awardees may be out of the gene pool because of age; others have already reproduced before their deaths. To avoid debates about the possibility of in-vitro fertilization, artificial insemination, or cloning, the original Darwin Awards book applied the following "deserted island" test to potential winners: If the person were unable to reproduce when stranded on a deserted island with a fertile member of the opposite sex, he or she would be considered sterile.[16] Winners of the award, in general, either are dead or have become unable to use their sexual organs.

Happy for those in Jacksonville. Today the mayor opened up the beaches with restricted hours, and they can only be used for walking, biking, hiking, fishing, running, swimming, taking care of pets and surfing. I bet the people are just elated. You think of those people who live in high-rise condominiums that their front yard is the beach can start to enjoy it again. I would love to be able to walk on a sandy beach barefoot right now soaking up all that vitamin D not to mention ultraviolet radiation in sunlight does work as a natural disinfectant.

Happy for Minnesotans too, their governor opened up outside activities as long as people practice social distancing. They can golf, hike, fish, boat etc. Good for the soul and all over physical and mental health.

Our governor Dewine in Ohio is going to start opening things back up on May 1. I have two more weeks of this ****. We are already into week 5.

Lol you literally quoted the rule that says I'm out because I've already reproduced :D

Sorry buddy but your attempt to flame those of us smart enough to see through the media hype has failed :D

False. I live near Ft. Lauderdale and everything here is ****ed up. The streets are empty, everyone wears masks by law. Police are stationed outside grocery stores to enforce PPE.

Fort Lauderdale mayor extends coronavirus orders until May 1

May 1 before Ft. Lauderdale considers anything.

I want to 'like' your post but I cannot 'like' 60k dead.

So I will just concur.

To think I was optimistic earlier this week. I'm afraid we're in for the roller coaster ride that comes with uncertainty. Optimistic one week, pessimistic the next. It's hard to avoid. Gotta keep a long term perspective and take the data by the week not the day. We'll flatten despite the cult's efforts otherwise.

It's hilarious how many leftwingers believe in this farce. And you people talk about religion being a fairy tale.

It's funny how you strawman every opponent. Funny in a pathetic way. Perhaps the day will come, eventually, when you can face real debate opponents, actual people, and not the cartoons you imagine in your head.

I will be happy to donate to your party fund. Invite all your right wing nut pals. Have a campfire, roast some weiners, share some beverages. Hug a lot.

It's been in my county for 2 months.

I know people who have had it, and I don't know anybody who has died from it. You can't eat out anymore, which I used to do a lot of, otherwise I don't mind staying at home. I wear a mask to the grocery and other stores.
 
Mashmont said:
The media doesn't know what to do with genuine protesters. They're so used to the fake paid-for highly orchestrated Soros-financed "protests' that they are sent press releases about. The leftwing media is in the dark about these authentic protests, and boy are they pissed!

I went to Olve Garden a few months ago, hadn't been there in years. I had the Asiago Tortelloni Alfredo with Grilled Chicken, out of this world. And the prices were from another galaxy.
