Great movie btw

One of my top 3 comedies along with Young Frankenstein and Blazing Saddles (uncut version).

Okay, it's my turn to say I'm going to bed. Some of those posts were not "playful" by any stretch of the imagination. Still, I'm not deleting any more, so if Boulder is fine with it, who am I to argue. Good night

Another thing is we are most likely social distancing thus we need outlets.

I'm an Independent, but "Trump derangement syndrome" is in full effect. People lose their f...ing minds when they hang on every word he says. It's damn near a mental disorder. I don't get it...vote his ass out in November if you believe he is as bad as you think. Good grief.

Now a kid in Rhode Island has contracted Covid-19 after getting an autograph from Donovan Mitchell or Rudy Gobert, they weren’t saying which player it was. That’s how contagious this is, wow.

Blazing saddles... yes....also Blues Brothers...for me

Hard to think about how today would have been the day OU beat Kansas for the Big 12 Tourney and moved up to a 5 seed.

And supposedly Rudy Gobert was playing with the mike in the interview room and running his hands all over it. I don't think he knew he had #19 at the time but it was a bit much.

I think you stated that you were Jewish. If in another time you stated that you were Hebrew, which is basically the same thing, would that not also be acceptable or should you only be allowed to label yourself using only one word. It's like people have no problem providing the world with a "wow moment" and we're supposed to feel grateful and obligated to them. I feel no sense of gratefulness but more like betrayal.

This is what I thought when I heard the news. It even appears some are more contagious than others too.

Very strange virus. I am not a scientist or doctor, but it would be fascinating to learn more about this virus and how it differs from other common coronaviruses.

It's bananas that the president is not isolating, and keeps shaking hands with people all around him, including the covid-19 task force, after having come in close contact with multiple people that have been diagnosed with Covid-19. It boggles the mind.

You told us that air transmission is the most likely source for contamination. Then would it not follow that if people were truly worried they would engage in as much social distancing as possible? People must breathe, but people do not have to put their hands to their face and they also can wash their hands and not worry and be happy. You really think when the people who shook hands did not go inside the White House and wash hands. The syndrome is alive with the sound of music!

Are you off your meds? The virus is EXTREMELY CONTAGIOUS and he is in close contact with people all around. During the last news conference he was seen shaking hands all around, then you could see all those people touching their faces. He grabbed the microphone and re-positioned it, then others grabbed the microphone and re-positioned it, then touched their faces. And YES, it is spread by droplets and he was talking closely, face-to-face, with many of them. About a week ago he met with the leader of Brazil who tested positive for Covid-19, in fact the mayor of Miami CONTRACTED IT FROM HIM DURING HIS VISIT TO FLORIDA. It's completely irresponsible that he refused to be tested and keeps pressing the flesh, especially after we found out a kid got it from getting a f---ing autograph!

I mean is there anything you won't defend?

Are you suggesting there should not have been a microphone present.

Did the leader of Brazil have a retest which came back negative?

Do you believe hand sanitizers are a good thing?

You state I will not defend anything but I could ask you is there nothing you won't grovel over. I have a right to interject common sense and not to use it as a weapon to sow discord.

I'm suggesting that he should be in quarantine, and he should have been tested, like the mayor of Miami. Not blindly touching and breathing on everyone around him. Also there have been 4, FOUR, cases at Mar-a-Lago, it's insane that he is behaving this way.

He did say he would be tested and it is a function of what precipitated in Florida.

I've heard that Mrs. Trudeau has tested positive. And I'm sure she, and her husband, were going through their daily lives and not purposely seeking out the virus. Precautions are great but people will feel like they took precautions and yet they still contracted it.

When I suggested heating up the mail, and I do the same thing for the newspaper, I was scoffed at! No?

He is going to be tested, but in the meantime he's STILL out there acting irresponsibly. Leadership would be setting a good example, not saying "do what I say, not what I do." People take their cues from leaders, and the takeaway is that he's not really taking it seriously, because he's not going through the same steps he's suggesting for everyone else.

I applaud Ted Cruz, he's been in quarantine ever since coming across a Covid-19 positive person at CPAC.

Update on these posts...
Despite Trump saying yesterday saying he did not need a test because he was not showing symptoms, despite the White House doctors releasing a lengthy statement saying why the President did not need a test, he announced in the presser that just concluded he has now had his temperature checked and had a test, now awaiting the results. He also now says you shouldn't be shaking hands, despite the fact he did at the announcement yesterday.

Additionally, the White House is now requiring temperature scans for all press corp or entrants into the White House, which hasn't been done before today. One press-member was denied entry with a 99.9-degree fever.

All this makes you go hmmmm...

You make a good point.

This is not a static situation and there will be more changes in our lives regardless of the precautions we already take. Do you think if I told people I was heating the newspaper and the mail that some might not indoctrinate themselves with the same precautions. Some are more ahead of the curve than others I suppose.


Same goes for using the back of my knuckle at point of sale terminals wherever they exist. I've been doing this for years. Why do people not do the same thing you could ask. When I open a door to the car,entry door or touch things with my finger I know I am not spreading the germs from the terminals. No one advised me to do so for I just applied some of my own common sense. People need to do much the same.
