We're All Doomed!™ (the Conquest, War, Famine, and Death Thread)

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

From the sounds of it Per Sweden is not all that different from Canada in its approach. While we have strong social distancing guides were are not in lockdown either. We are free to go out when we want just that we have to follow social distancing guidelines. One difference is restaurants are all closed for in house dinning. Only take out or delivery. Sounds like our grocery stores look at like like yours. Perhaps the difference is in terminology and not practice. Well ok all non essential shops are closed.
The only HW the Canucks need

And people not complying with "social distancing guidelines" can be fined now I believe?

New York City will bury unclaimed bodies on a remote island after 14 days because coronavirus deaths are overwhelming morgues


The coronavirus pandemic is killing hundreds of people in New York City each day.

To accommodate the dead before families claim them, the city's medical examiner expanded temporary refrigerated storage to hold 3,600 decedents, up from the usual 900. Families have 30 days to claim their loved one.

However, a policy change posted to the medical examiner's website suggests that room is running out: Bodies that families don't claim within 14 days of death will be catalogued and interred in a mass grave site on a Bronx island.

Today, OCME's website said decedents who are not claimed by a funeral home within two weeks, would be sent to the Bronx's Hart Island, where a graveyard called "City Cemetery" contains more than 1 million unclaimed bodies — the largest such site in the US.
Yikes...

Is there a voter registration booth there?
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

Yes, and they'll all be voting Democrat (twice).

Trump will still win of course but it gives the losers some semi-respectable numbers. :mrgreen:

Think this may actually have an impact on the view of health care in the USA moving forward.... ?

While wishing for their death is too far, I wouldn't have been sad to see it go the other way for either of those two (granted Harvey is a different kind of evil).

So, what will the next phase look like? :|
Over the past few days, I’ve been reading the major plans for what comes after social distancing. You can read them, too. There’s one from the right-leaning American Enterprise Institute, the left-leaning Center for American Progress, Harvard University’s Safra Center for Ethics, and Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Romer.

I thought, perhaps naively, that reading them would be a comfort — at least then I’d be able to imagine the path back to normal. But it wasn’t. In different ways, all these plans say the same thing: Even if you can imagine the herculean political, social, and economic changes necessary to manage our way through this crisis effectively, there is no normal for the foreseeable future. Until there’s a vaccine, the US either needs economically ruinous levels of social distancing, a digital surveillance state of shocking size and scope, or a mass testing apparatus of even more shocking size and intrusiveness.

It’s hard to know how things will shake out. I just pour another beverage, smoke another gagger and paint another spirit rock. I’ve already left a couple of Lebowski rocks around Poco Trail while walking the dog; it’s very therapeutic.

I believe things will loosen up here in July and we may be back at like 50 -60 % normal. I think the economy will start chugging along and some restaurants, pubs and travel will open up somewhat.

I don’t see pro sports or concerts coming back until next year... maybe.

As an asside sone rockhead broke into my truck two nights ago. Might try and hang a little bait out for them this weekend. I am itching to take a few cuts with a 28 ounce Easton on some scumbag’s dome.
