What Do You Think Of Fining People For Not Wearing A Mask?
by minimus in

some towns in massachusetts are fining people 1000 dollars for not wearing a mask 😷 outdoors.

starting wednesday, the governor mandates everyone from 2 years of age up, must wear a mask or get a 300 dollar fine!.

of course some governors are recommending that you rat out anyone that doesn’t follow their orders.. i don’t like it!👎🏿.

Has Anything Positive Come Out Of This Coronavirus Isolation For You?

i guess you could make a case of more families being together although that might not be the best situation.

less cars and pollutants mean we can breathe better.

if you were ever uncomfortable in crowds, this could be good news.

Self-isolating JW's will at least get a taste of what disfellowshipping is like..

humans are basically social animals.

see most any isolated mammal, whether in a zoo or even an outcast of its pride and you'll see one mentally disturbed creature.

maybe, after this pandemic has faded and humans are able to interact once more, some jw's might think twice before being so quick to shun.

Do You Feel Your Rights Are Being Trampled On By Government Regarding Coronavirus?

i support local and state and federal government’s power to safeguard the public.

i wonder is it getting to a point where we will be told we can’t go out anymore, can’t use your phone or computer anymore because of the viruses that we can get, etc.

are we prolonging this virus at all ?

Saving Money While Stuck At Home

so you're stuck at home, you may be worried about your income, welcome to the world of filling your stuck-in-the-house time with saving some money!.

here in canada, our energy costs are going up because we have a carbon tax.

today, in the middle of the crisis, trudeau is raising it by 50%, probably as some perverse "thank you" to all the truckers delivering vital goods.

Covid-19 (Coronavirus) - Status Update Thread
by Simon in

this topic is to focus on status updates & advice (no opinion or politics please).. status.

latest status is that it's serious, probably isn't going to be contained and most large companies are making contingency plans, cancelling large events etc... which i don't think would happen if it was just people being alarmist.

the incubation period means it may have already spread further and infected many more people than are currently known, so expect jumps in the numbers over the coming days and weeks.. tracking.
