Numbers are going up in a lot of states, that sucks. I am adjusting As you can see I am getting out But Some activities I still won't consider like crowded concert, flying, sports event and of course the biggie Gentlemen clubs.

I must admit that I am not looking to do anything on your list right now. I am well past the age where gentlemen clubs have any appeal but the others are normal events for me. The covid virus stress is building in everybody, I get out to bars and restaurants occasionally and the curling club is just about ready to open for a sports outlet. Even with that the stress and anxiety still seems to slowly build up. "but if you make yourselves sheep, the wolves will eat you." Benjamin Franklin |

Because CNN/MS tell him that. They are infatuated with the virus, until Nov 3rd. Then we'll never hear of it again. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Get out and do not let it bother you. I do not get these "we are doomed" people at all. Imagine if they had real stress. Great Depression. WWI, WWII, Civil War. Societal collapse like in Russia since the 1990s. These are real things! But to them if they cannot see their rock band or watch guys throw a ball around a field live then we are doomed?!

Tanko Member since: Aug 15, 2019 Threads: 0 Posts: 1964 | Current CDC 'Best Estimate' of chances of dying from the virus if you get infected: 1 out of 34,000 for ages 0 to 19 1 out of 5,000 for ages 20 to 49 1 out of 200 for ages 50 to 69 1 out of 20 for ages 70 and up Those numbers include people with pre-existing health issues. Chances of a healthy person surviving, in any age group, are better. "For deaths with conditions or causes in addition to COVID-19, on average, there were 2.6 additional conditions or causes per death." 90% of fatalities in NYC, have at least one co-morbidity. |

Just surviving sucks big time Have you checked the studies of long haulers I want to live healthy the rest of my life, not just survive Met some nice Trumpers in the RV park. No way they are getting in a crowd. This virus scares them like it scares me. They ae still voting for Trump. Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

My parents are the same. They like Trump, but they take the virus seriously. They recently bought a house in the Smokies in TN, which is major Trump country. No one takes it seriously there. They went to a restaurant they really like. No social distancing, employees not wearing masks. They said they wouldn’t be going back cause they didn’t feel safe. “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

And I think that is great. Let your parents decide for themselves how to respond to a store or restaurant that is not acting like your parents want them to. And hopefully, they let the restaurant owner know this. Conversely, if someone else wants to enjoy the mask free restaurant, go for it. Apparently yesterday 4 deaths throughout New York State attributable to COVID-19. I think around 400 New Yorkers die each day of all causes. Not that 1% isn't significant, but to me it has reached a level here to allow individuals to decide for themselves their risk tolerance for activities. |
