My local economy is open...

Got home on Friday. Stopped at Dollar General and finally got some paper towels. Hit the Farm and Home for Map Gas and braising rods. Had Arby's for supper. Saturday, O'Reilly's for garden tractor parts, went to the bank, got my hair cut, picked up some ice.


Sure...there where changes. The farm and home had curbside pickup. The bank and Arby's were drive thru only. The barber had a virtual waiting list and called me 15 minutes before he was ready for me (could have opted for up to a half hour) and the barber wore a mask the whole time...no chit-chat...and cut hair outside in a regular old chair.

But it can be done...and we are doing it. Only the movie theater and the bowling alley is still closed as far as I could tell. Our town only has one bar and it is off the beaten path. Our church is having service via radio in the parking lot. Others like the First Baptist are all online.

We have adapted and overcome...only one reported case in our county so far.

Your midsized town can do it too. Can major metropolitans open? That's more of a challenge...but utilizing smart policy... perhaps.
Which town and county and town do you live?
Sorry dude...I don't swing that way. Try Grinder. :eusa_whistle:

Seriously...I don't give out personal info on the internet. I'm surprised you'd ask.
Here's an interactive map of your State. I don't see any county with only "one" case. I think you're fibbing!

 
As I said, if Ontario businesses once had customers in the U.S, and the U.S opens while we remain closed, those customers will vanish for good.

I've said the same. As soon as states start to open it will be a domino effect. Trump was a genius to insist he had control over opening...it caused the knee jerk reaction that left it in the hands of the states. Had dems had time...they would have tried to pass national laws on opening time states...that would have been a disaster.

I just don't see how anyone can justify keeping Walmart, beer stores and in Toronto, subways open, but, smaller businesses can't be open. Even if they are, Canadians are still going to basically be on lock down anyways.

We still have a few weeks of this, but it's obvious the government is concerned about the aftermath. As I said, if Ontario businesses once had customers in the U.S, and the U.S opens while we remain closed, those customers will vanish for good.

Canada knows it. This why the talk of "many months still" to remain closed, has quickly changed to "weeks" and even some "slowly opening up", even as they keep preaching to us to stay inside. If not for the tragedies in old age homes, we'd have half as many deaths.
You should close places that sell food? Really?

Relax, we won't be opening until the curve flattens, and as of yet that hasn't happened.

On that map we have zero cases... makes it harder for you to rat out my barber.

But we do have one case...someone who returned from overseas under quarantine.

I was actual educated in public school in one of the bluest of blue Mid Atlantic states. And I have to admit...it was a fantastic school system. I was learning DOS and Basic computing and algebra in 7th grade in 1984.

So you're in "less than 20" counties? Hint: that isn't one.

Things are getting pretty desperate. I'm going to have to stop the video on my Zoom classes pretty soon. Everyone is praying our beautician can be persuaded to cut hair next week, maybe, if we all wear masks. It's getting pretty ugly.
Beauticians, barbers and, dentists will be the last to return.
Actually, some oral surgeons have returned to work in NYC and NC.

They had closed your Dollar General? Ours has stayed open. But it was the family run hardware store that copped the tp. And the gas station is the only place with hand sanitizer. You gotta look around.
Congrats on reopening. Good luck.

Thanks. No...it stayed open...but no tp or paper towels until recently. Only the barber of those is still technically required to be shut down as far as my understanding goes.

What do you mean. I have a wonderful family, I live in a beautiful rural town, I love my work, I make a comfortable living, I own my home and 30 acres outside of town, I have plenty of free time to pursue my interests. I'm living the dream.

What happened to you to become a 1%er but to be so hatefilled?

So what do all the white counties represent?
 
Yeah, but let's be honest. If everybody in Missouri died of coronavirus would anybody notice? :dunno:
Agreed! A red taker State should be the petri dish of America.
Seems the hive mentality ones are the ones fucked right now............those who want to be all close and cuddled together..........imagine that.

No, that I might have to wait months for a haircut.
