Do I think it blown out of proportion, IDK sometimes I think yes sometimes I think no.
We need to get back to work. We are not NY, we don't really do mass transit in Texas.
We all drive to work and not in close contact such as subway, trains or bus.
We don't live in high rises or stack a bunch of people in apartments.
If we don't go back to work and get the oil industry back to whatever the new normal will be for them the Houston and Texas economy is probably
be toast for a long time.
I don't know what we need to do when we go back to work temp test at the doors of each building or something. I will say I think people are much more aware
now and will wash hands, sanitize and just be more cleanly than before.
It's time to go to work I don't want to rely on unemployment or a stimulus check, that only goes so far and doesn't cover what me and my family need now,
this has opened my eyes that I will be trying to downsize some bills going forward and be able to stick more away each month in case we have times like this again.

Why don't you come work at my hospital and then tell me it's all a fairy tale. Just cause YOU may not see it up front and in person. It IS affecting thousands of lives. Every day I go to work I pray that I don't catch it. It's NOT a pretty site seeing people fighting to stay a live.

Aren't you a member of the most corrupt police department in the state of Texas?
Wouldn't expect anything less from you than to be supportive of a police state.

If the point of the "shut down-stay in" was to keep the medical community from being overwhelmed, it was successful. That is what's being forgotten.

The past month should have allowed preparation to open back up most everything, some exceptions and restrictions would still apply. The most vulnerable should continue strict social distancing.

And I dont recall telling you how to live, dont tell me i cant make money or my money doesnt matter.

You’re confusing two people when you start making fun of the truck parts you think are dumb.

What agency is the most corrupt department in the state of Texas?

Rick is a labeler. Its all he had.

I don't recall telling you how to live either. I do know that over 25,000 Americans have died in the last 6 weeks. I also recall the government passing a bill that sends free money to impacted businesses.

I'm legitimately sorry if your business has been impacted by this. Mine has too - I'm losing my renters before their lease is up because they had family need to move in with them and the house wasn't big enough. They certainly can't afford to pay a termination penalty. That's life - it's 10% what happens and 90% what you make of it. Don't try to make 6 weeks into some type of dire situation for the whole country - it isn't. This is temporary. Most of us are getting more family time, less distractions, and a reminder of what is truly important. The greedy folks will have their world back in like 10 business days. In the words of Aaron Rodgers, "R-E-L-A-X"

According to several here, our whole way of life is under threat and the Chinese will win the world.

No value for human life. They said the elderly and high risk people need to fend for themselves.

If we went with the idea that we should let the healthy and young continue to support the economy and keep those at risk locked away safe how would we " Actually " keep high risk people safe ? Nursing homes for example have continued to get hit with new outbreaks when the care takers have supposedly been taking extra precautions to protect the elderly . I see that as a small example of why that theory might not work . We don't seem to be able protect people that are already in a lock down situation . At the same time I am in the same boat as everyone else being concerned for the economy and investments taking a terrible hit .

Lot of truth here

Wawi is right! Overblown to say the least. Loss of lives is unfortunate but people die every day. Destroying a booming economy to protect such a small portion of the population is crazy! Anyone that doesn’t realize this is a giant violation of our rights may as well just move to China and have no real rights!

That's probably why thy want more tests.
