So bad. r/cursedcomments

I work with a bunch of 65 years olds and none of them were remotely concerned. The younger people were the most concerned. I said I was working from home and they only followed my lead when the Bay Area said don’t go to work idiots.

You do you. A lot Of people will not take this serious until several hundred people are dead.

You would think. But it seems like you’re using logic. Logic is not standard feature in Americans these days. And since cheap Chinese goods taught us that the cheapest way is the best, no parent has paid for the logic upgrade in a long time.

People are not going to take this seriously until someone they know has the disease. When that happens it is likely that they too have the disease.

The global death rate is 4%, Italy death rate is 8%. I would much rather be in the 4%. (Obviously I’d prefer 0% but even that ship has sailed here.)

Thoughts on Cuomo’s decision to reopen schools?

Confused if parents want schools to reopen or not? I read so many posts here about how difficult it is to work full time and manage kids’ at-home schooling (I can’t even imagine!) so would assume that means parents want to reopen, but at the same time keep seeing a ton of backlash from parents in states who are pushing to reopen due to safety reasons. What’s the general consensus?

Hmm...so all these parents just want to send their kids into schools do die, right? And kill all the teachers and their families too. All out of pure selfishness.

My significant other works for Booz Allen and is preparing for a team outing. It was suggested, that the team leaders pick a gift to present to the staff during the outing. The gifts were branded items from the BAH company store. The total price per person was a little over $30 to include tax and shipping. Today they were told that since this was not a company sponsored event, the group would have to split the cost among the leaders to pay for the gifts. I think this is tacky. Thoughts?
