Hobby Lobby Open Amid Coronavirus: God Will Keep Workers Safe

[Dana7360]

This is irresponsible beyond words.

hobby lobby should be closed in some places. In some states only grocery stores and pharmacies are open.

Yet the greedy owner of hobby lobby is trying to get his workers to go back to work. Against some state governors orders.

This man is a billionaire yet all he cares about is his money. He's not paying any sick leave while this pandemic is happening. He's telling his workers that things will get hard for them.

He could help out by paying them a living wage with proper benefits.

He could help out by keeping his stores closed so the virus won't spread.

He could keep his religion to himself and not lie to his employees to get them to go back to work against governors orders.

This man should be told that his stores should remain closed and his workers remain at home. He should be paying them at least 2 weeks sick leave too.

Lowes, Home Depot and other stores here in Tejas are open the last time I checked...

I do agree that if you do not need to be opened the close down for the time period and let this Pandemic pass on by...

No point putting someone at risk for crafts...

Why don't YOU tell him?

Who cares about billionaires?

Especially old white guys running for president....

Whoops, Bloomburg fell out.

Did it ever occur to you that what's his face wants to make sure his employees don't starve?
That he can AFFORD to keep the stores open and not rely on gov't handouts to fund his staff?

I'm so glad we have atheist liberal loons like you around to continually lecture people as to what they should and shouldn't do with their lives. .. ..

Fuck Off Moron. You are stupid beyond belief.

What a GULLIBLE pansy you are.

People have free choice to go there or not.

Don't french kiss strangers. Wash your hands.

Treat it like any other flu season.

Covid-19 is a flu bug. National deaths so far (cases where Covid-19 was found in the lungs of the deceased, which does NOT mean it was the PRIMARY cause of death!): 340.

Normal number of deaths annually from the flu anyway: Average between 20,000 - 40,000.

Do the math, buttwipe.

Hobby Lobby, eh?

Bet I could find the necessary materials there to make a COVID-resistant mask and a weapon.

IMO, if a business wants to stay open, and customers want to go. . . it should be their right to chance death. We live in a free society, not a police state, our economy depends on FREE ACTIVITY, not a planned economy, it is our life blood.

What happened to liberty or death? If they want to chance it? It should be their right. Some feel, a life w/o liberty, is not worth living.

OTH, no employees should be told their job depends on whether they come in or not, they should get unemployment for wrongful termination if they refuse to come in to work if there is a government request to cease activity. And. . . the businesses should have to pay unemployment.

If they can afford unemployment, and health insurance, AND afford to stay open, I say fuck it, sure, they can do what they want.

No sense in letting the STATE/CORPORATE-police-state-fascism be used as an excuse to put competitors out of business.

Experts envision two scenarios if the new coronavirus isn’t contained
Experts envision two scenarios if new coronavirus isn't contained - S…

". . . 2019-nCoV returns repeatedly like a bad seasonal flu

The “seasonal” reflects the fact that viruses can’t tolerate high heat and humidity, preferring the cool and dry conditions of winter and spring, Webby said. That’s why flu, as well as the four coronaviruses, are less prevalent in warm, humid months. If the new coronavirus follows suit, then containment efforts plus the arrival of summer should drive infections to near zero.

But also like flu viruses, that doesn’t mean it’s gone.

The “bad” reflects the fact that the number of 2019-nCoV cases and deaths so far suggests that the new coronavirus has a fatality rate around 2%. That’s almost certainly an overestimate, since mild cases aren’t all being counted. But even 2% is less than SARS’ 10% and nowhere near the 37% of MERS (Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus). On the other hand, seasonal flu kills fewer than 0.1% of those it infects, though that’s still tens of thousands of deaths a year just in the U.S. The global disaster that was the 1917 “Spanish flu” pandemic killed 2.5% (though some estimates exceed 10%).


“One scenario is that we go through a pandemic,” as the current outbreak may become, said Columbia’s Morse. “Then, depending what the virus does, it could quite possibly settle down into a respiratory illness that comes back seasonally.”

The toll that would take depends on how many people it infects and how virulent it is. Virulence reflects the viruses’ genetics.

The genome of the novel coronavirus consists of a single strand of RNA. Microbes with that kind of genome mutate “notoriously quickly,” said biologist Michael Farzan of Scripps Research, who in 2005 was part of the team that identified the structure of the “spike protein” by which SARS enters human cells.

But SARS has a molecular proofreading system that reduces its mutation rate, and the new coronavirus’s similarity to SARS at the genomic level suggests it does, too. “That makes the mutation rate much, much lower than for flu or HIV,” Farzan said. That lowers the chance that the virus will evolve in some catastrophic way to, say, become significantly more lethal.

The coronavirus “may not change [genetically] at all” in a way that alters function, said biologist Andrew Rambaut of the University of Edinburgh, who has been analyzing the genomes of the 2019-nCoV’s from dozens of patients. “It is transmitting quite well already so it may not have to ‘evolve’ to be endemic.”

Any evolution that does take place in an endemic coronavirus, including one that spikes seasonally, might well be toward less virulence. “It doesn’t want to kill you before you transmit it,” Farzan said. “One would therefore expect a slow attenuation” of virulence if the virus becomes like seasonal flu. Dead people don’t transmit viruses, “and even people sitting in their beds and shivering” because they are seriously ill “don’t transmit that well,” he said.

The toll of a seasonal-flu-like coronavirus also depends on immunity — which is also scientifically uncertain. Exposure to the four endemic coronaviruses produces immunity that lasts longer than that to influenza, Webby said, but not permanent immunity. Like respiratory syncytial virus, which can re-infect adults who had it in childhood, coronavirus immunity wanes."

I take it you are the self appointed garden of all. Telling everyone what to do, where to go, how to do it.
Too bad for you in reality you are not the emperor of all. Others can make their own decisions without your say or input. It is called a free country.

 

[rightwinger]

I went to Hobby Lobby today and they were Closed

 

[norwegen]

I suspect many people will pick up new hobbies to get through the boredom. Hobby stores might make a killing.

Employees should be free to choose whether they want to work, though, and I imagine they are.

Might as well be crafts

Some stores here doing the same kinda thing.

Here in Washington, some places are like a ghost town.

I am at my place by Mt. Rainier now. Came down on Friday. Driving down the towns I went through were shutdown. The only businesses open are grocery stores, gas stations and pharmacies.

Towns big enough to have them, restaurants and drive throughs are still open though only for delivery and take out. We went into town for dinner last night. We had to place our order outside at the door, they had taken their phone off the hook so no phone orders. We waited in the car for our order to be brought to us. I took some shots of it.

Since being here I've gone to places that are usually filled with people. Now, are empty. It's very unnerving.

Unfortunately this needs to happen if we want to beat this virus.

Business owners such as the owner of hobby lobby are being very irresponsible. They have the money to shutdown and not be hurt badly. They have the money to pay their employees during this time.

Yet they don't. This one is a christian. I guess the owner didn't read the Matthew 19:21 or Luke 18:22 where Jesus tells rich people to sell everything they own and give the money to the poor.

Treat it like any other flu season.

Covid-19 is a flu bug.

So, so stupid and wrong.

It shocks me that someone like you, with a scientific education, is saying such ass backwards wrong things.

Governor Mills hasn't mentioned what would happen if a business ignored her emergency orders to close. Interesting. I guess we'll see. I think there is a Hobby Lobby in Portland. Portland is where over half of Maine's cases are, and the only town with community transmission. That's just what they need is a huge craft store open.
