Re: Coronavirus fears hammer markets - how far will it go?
Illegal to wash your car on your own property? Wonder what the justification for that is...that's bizarre. The carwashes around here stayed open the whole time - guess they're essential.
Traffic around here has started picking up this week as we've started to ease restrictions. We have mask orders in place in public buildings, but there are 2 notable demographics who refuse to wear them. Not everyone, most are doing it, but some are a bit stubborn and they fall into one of those categories every time. We have to wear them if we're moving around in the office, but once we get wherever we're going they can come off.

Anyone that thinks Sweden has more "freedom" than any other European country doesn't know anything about Sweden. Sweden is ruled by democratic socialist like most European countries and is opposite of how we choose to govern in the US. They believe in extreme taxation and wealth distribution. Not sure why they think washing your car is a bad idea but I'm sure it's some kind of dumb idea about the environment. Sorta like you can't have a bonfire or any kind of fire in The Netherlands. I dated a girl from the Netherlands once and she said she never planned to live there again because of all the stupid rules they have. I took a trip to Amsterdam when I lived in Germany and absolutely loved it. My favorite place. I guess living as a citizen there could be different. As for why Sweden didn't close down their businesses like most other countries, it's because it's forbidden in their constitution.

It is bizarre indeed. You have to take it to a car wash, because they have (by law) filtration systems for the waste water. But washing it by hand at home.. njet!

Germany has/had a similar law. It has to do with the dirty, soapy water draining into the wrong place (and killing polar bears, according to the stupid environmentalretardists who lobby for those laws to be past)... No offense, but Germany (and most of Europe) is a prime example of what happens when you let liberals and their socialist-like ideology, run the show. It seems, that every aspect of life is control by the government to some degree. There are two reasons I left Germany to come to the US, one of them is freedom.
Re: Coronavirus fears hammer markets - how far will it go?
David, I worked with around 20 germans here in the us once and asked just about every one of them if they planned to go back and live in Germany literally every single one said no. I really thought that was strange and wondered why because I lived there for about a yr and thought it was a spectacular place. Of course I wasn't a citizen so I'm sure that was the difference. I figured it came down to how they tax their citizens. The extreme taxes sounded absolutely crazy.
Re: Coronavirus fears hammer markets - how far will it go?
We are just getting the hang of re-opening the country and the deaths are only a problem for old people , blacks , hispanics , native americans and pre-existing peoples ( hypertension,diabetes,asthmatics, obese , . . .
Numbers appear to be padded (up/down).
We will go for it and let chips/snowflakes fall where they may.

You have to look at the big picture and not be fooled by the ominous peak or big numbers plastered all over the fake news. Sweden is following a process that will have different numbers in the beginning compared to full mitigation because it’s not the same process. These peak big numbers being reported by the news are misleading numbers that scare the misinformed and only boost the ratings for the fake news. Sweden should be following the higher shorter mitigation curve plastered all over the place. They will have more deaths in the beginning because they are following the shorter higher curve and everyone else who used the mitigation strategy will be dealing with this for much longer and have a second and third wave of cases as these countries try to re-open for business. There’s no getting around it, you either pay now or pay later. Total deaths per capita between Sweden and their neighboring countries with similar population densities may end up being about the same after 2 years, but only time will tell. When I look at the deaths per capita, Sweden Seems to be falling squarely in the middle compared to other countries suggesting that the mitigation strategy may not work all that well or it was implemented too late in the game because the virus had already been infecting people long before we knew it. The higher than usual influenza numbers and recent antibody testing suggest that this could be true. Keep in mind the virus is a threat to those with auto immune deficiencies or if you’re over the age of 80. For anyone under the age of 50 there is almost no risk and most recover with very minor cold like symptoms.

Exactly. In that sense it's similar to watching George Carlin (one of my all-time favorite comics), especially his later material (his last special, It's Bad for Ya, being the ultimate example).

Yep, that's a good one!
Totally off topic, but I watched Jerry Seinfeld's latest stand up (it's really funny) last night, and here's my favorite quote:
"Marriage is like a game of chess, where the board is made of flowing water and the chess pieces are made of smoke!"
