Nope no homogeneity at all lol we have some things that make us "American" by default but its really is more sections of society in thought and deeds than a well rounded whole.

Considering how much those of us in that field have discussed and been aware it will be interesting to see how religious places act / respond. From my online circles and groups the taking of guidance about singing in general for the church has been mixed as far as reception goes. But any choir director worth their salt is not starting again any time soon (at least another 90ish days on my count, more if I can get away with it. )

Was never going to stop dude, the lockdowns kept the numbers from skyrocketing unstopped. Its going to be a long slow down, just as the flattening the curve models projected back in March (and most everyone ignored.)

Nate Silvers tweets should be seen as good news... it literally is the outcome that realists expected at the beginning of the flatten the curve talk.... the idea that the virus goes away after the lockdowns (so many of my conservative friends had that mindset) was not legitimate. A gradual slowdown but not dramatic shows that our new behaviors are at least having some effect.... of course it remains to be seen what happens a month from now.

Bingo, the rest of us havent been able to

Not knowing the # of tests is frustrating for those of us trying to assess local issues. That being said, rural areas like where I live are offering drive in testing this weekend 🤷‍♂️ so they are definitely trying to increase the number of tests but again, they are only testing if you have symptoms that may be covid related 🤷‍♂️

They may be able to open, but barring the one offs that arent chain related they aint opening 🤷‍♂️ Texan here so yeah... nothing to see

Yup, its a matter of when, not if.... the production cut will help stem the tide but not stop it.

Right? I do not care for Massey but for once his griping and voting insistence was semi right cause he called this in spades before the house vote.... sigh and people thought 2008 was a big pad the wealthy money move

After the craziness of the last couple of weekends Bond doing well seems just "fine" versus great

🤣🤣🤣 gotta love not paying attention to auto corrections.... thanks for helping me laugh today

I do find it slightly humerus that the virus is finally the topic that gets Duldabs incessant repetitive behavior noticed 🤣 I unblocked him for this since it wasnt conversations related to Movies and New Mutants in particular but the behavior remains the same. By all means make sure we know and I am glad we have folks here that arent ostriches but at times the incessant head battering is more a problem than a help. Edited to add: Eric finally reaching peak was funny since I see him fairly balanced in the threads I am usually in. So maybe I just find more humor in this than the rest of yall 🤣🤷‍♂️

Yup and like 75% ot my congregation is 65+ so its suicide to have them in person. I dont get the idiotic behavior of others, and thats before I complain about the bad press the other idiots cause the rest of us. Will say that corona has forced me to become the on staff technician 🤦‍♂️ nobody else knows how to do things so lots of crash course learning and figuring out to pull a 100% online bit off.

Considering that is my daily job, it is our understanding per our legal contacts that we still cannot have full services / gatherings. We are still limited to 10 or less people (and have been working that way for 3 full weeks now so its not new.) Not sure what Florida's is (not my state obviously) but Gov Abbotts rule didnt change anything from the way it was before. He is not wanting to have idiots like the one in LA and FL bussing in 1k+ people. So its not a blank check

Thanks to you and @bladels for pointing out and correcting - that was never my intent to mix them up
