blueviper, my parents (65/63) are still going to Catholic mass and taking communion, no matter how many times we tell them not to. Insane.

That’s nuts. Have they adjusted how they hand out wafers/wine or is it business as usual?

Hopefully no one gets infected, but it just seemed to be a bad idea to open up and not require masks. We think with some of the comments from church goers and higher ups that the whole church supports Trump so that probably has something to do with their decisions on this matter.

Our church is exactly the same. No one wears masks and they all think Trump is the second coming. I doubt we’ll ever be back

I'm really confused with the whole church crowd having a raging hard-on for Trump. The guy embodies pretty much the exact opposite of how Christ told us to be, but they can't get enough of it

Being a Christian is about hate. It makes perfect sense they'd love Trump

But it's not though.....unless you guys do being tight with Christ different over there

Christians and Trump both seek to exclude and marginalize people that aren't like them. Birds of a feather.

All Christians seek to do that?

Basically

Couldn't you just teach your own kids? Aren't you both academics who don't have to live outside your bubble? Upload your power points and then teach your kid. You can do both.

I work IT for a municipality and police dept. there’s no bubble for me

My daughter’s school has been zoom but now it looks like they are opening in fall. She s worried and wants to do online high school to avoid the crowd. Schools keep saying they are going to open but as it gets closer I doubt it will happen.

Sorry for the awkward quote. I was definitely trolling Mickey

They've nixed the wine but the wafers are business as usual.

Big time energy right now.

60,000 cases in a day...three times the new case average from just a month ago. The death toll is starting to climb, with every indication that still others in high impact places like Texas are dying at home. A third of Americans can’t pay their rent on time. A fifth of them believe some variation of “it’s a hoax.” The White House never resolved our medical supply chain issues, and we’re facing a shortage that will dwarf what came before. The president is making punitive threats against any locality that refuses to take steps that will make it worse for themselves. Fox News, the president’s personal advisory board, is spending every evening trying to turn it all into a culture war. And there’s no reason to think these aren’t the best days we’ll see for quite some time.

Sending thoughts and prayers from Down Under.

60k cases isn't even a real number. So we did some tests? Who cares? The real number is much higher and obviously we can't trace the cases we do know about because that fake number is too large and the confirmations dont come back for days and days.


The virus won

What should we do about all this McDoom?

I am curious about the supply chain issues. What happened to that coverage?

Did the FDA/ NIOSH/ whatever alphabet bois relax anything significantly preventing new domestic supplies from coming online? Are they sending site auditors out with any sense of urgency for new manufacturing facilities?

Have we expanded domestic manufacturing of PPE by any significant degree, or did we just get the scraps that China could release after they succeeded in locking down Wuhan?

Honestly, does making these posts make you feel better?

None of you are any different than me. I haven't read anything constructive in this thread in quite a long time. It's just doom retweets and whining. I don't bring anything to the table but neither do any of you.

We're the same.

All bad news is the same bad news!
