I had a glorious 48 hours where John put me on ignore and wasn't commenting on my posts. All good things come to an end I guess. A fella can hope it happens again and soon.
Just sharing what I've read folks. I read a fair amount. Virtually none of that reading is done on main stream media sites by the way. It almost all comes from articles written by actual scientists. As I've said in the past, I'm sure I don't always get it right. A lot of this information changes quickly as scientists learn more. A couple folks have mentioned they find my information sharing useful. I know a bunch don't find it useful. That's okay. It's a fishing forum after all. Put me in that group that enjoys your well informed comments. Same here. I prefer reading your posts as opposed to the posts from people who try to make everything political. You do an admirable job of staying above the fray even when the trolls try to pull you in.
This thread needs more cowbell ...

Put me in that group that enjoys your well informed comments. Put me down as a fan as well. I gave up on my fellow Alabamians. There is a reason this state ranks 52nd in education.
He is truly a sick individual.

I would like to know who the couple are that thinks it's useful. We need a poll. I, for one, think jpurdue's post have been excellent, science based and without all of the drama. I feel for John and Wawi as they apparently are taking a hit in their business, but they need to get real and stop the whining which helps nothing.

Claiming I have an agenda is one. Basing your copied posts by saying you went to college and your job is such and such, another. Lots of us went to college and work. Trying to be something you are not by claiming your posts are factual, then saying I could be wrong is another. I can go on.

Trying to be something you are not by claiming your posts are factual, then saying I could be wrong is another. I can go on. It's rare I use copied material. If I do I put it in quotes. I presented my credentials so you know how I look at the world and to reinforce the fact I don't pretend to be something I'm not. I'm just an engineer, not a medical doctor. Take that for what it is. I am sometimes wrong or make mistakes. If new data becomes available that invalidates my previously held beliefs I change my positions. I try to formulate my opinions based on the best available information. Not by what the talking heads say. Not by political affiliation. Not be upbringing. Just facts. I think that's virtuous. I posted some incorrect data on NYC a few days ago. Bigfishtx pointed it out and I acknowledged the mistake and moved on. What I was arguing earlier in this thread is that the virus has a lipid envelope and that being outdoors is safe and healthy if appropriate precautions are taken. I'm not sure how that's a scientifically contentious position or why you decided to get all bent out of shape about it. If Wawi owns restaurants that are currently shut down I'm sorry to hear that. If I ever get the chance I'll be sure to spend some money at one of his locations when all this finally passes.

Also, thank you to the folks who chimed in saying you find some value in my posts. I appreciate this community, and I appreciate you all saying those kind things.

Again, if social distancing is the reason my doors are basically locked why are people sitting side by side in golf carts

I'll be just fine. Just seems kinda funny how they pick and choose

Again, if social distancing is the reason my doors are basically locked why are people sitting side by side in golf carts I want you to stop. My reason for wanting you to stop is not to point out that I think you’re wrong. My concern is that more stuff will get closed, such as boat ramps. I will buy multiple burgers from you on the other side. Don’t get the ramps closed. (I wouldn’t mind mixing in a little golf now that you bring it up.)

I like Mr. Josh's posts.
I like John's posts.
I relate to wawi's positions... In a roundabout way he and I are in the same business. I work for a company that sells beer, burgers and Golf! And did so in a setting that really brought people together in fun ways. As a result of this situation 98.9% of our 26k+ associates are out of a job indefinitely. They have families who depended on them.
But lining up arse to Wang at Costco to hoard stuff is in fashion, as is meeting up with 30 friends to party and picnic at local parks...that's cool.
Jury is out on senko...

I would like to add it's a bit racist to allow old white men to play golf and ride side by side in carts while at the same time they pulled all the basketball goals down in fort worth...
