Coronavirus:

Wife told me this morning she saw where Chinese citizens have an app on their phone and they "scan in" and "scan out"whenever they go to a store, restaurant or public use transportation or location....
.....Not sure this country would stand for that.

You're right! 1984 has come and gone, and we made it thru without Big Brother being part of our scene.

We already had a thread about how China controls it's people. You either do what you are told or they will relocate you to one of the Uyghur concentration camps where you brain will be rewired.

Oh Ah. OK.

None of this is rocket science. It does involve a lot of work. I guess if you put playing golf at the top of your priority list this is what you get.

Indeed.



Have you noticed the people protesting to get people back to work are doing it to get other people back to work to serve them?

Of course, everyone seems to urgently need a tattoo........

Here in the U.S., we have software that allows anonymous tracking. I think that was mentioned on this week's NOVA, which is about the coronavirus. Your phone gives you a notice, if you've been near someone who tested positive. That won't help idiots like me, who don't have smartphones. But, I don't go out much. It does depend on testing, which we're still doing a piss poor job of.

And, no one is wearing a mask.

Belief that there is no virus, that it is all fake, that it is part of a conspiracy, is strong in them, hmmm.

The krats did it to ruin trump's economy. trump did it to postpone the election. Bezos did it so he could be a trillionaire before gates place a chip in him. God did to teach people to be nice. Mother nature did it so we would drive less.

You and I must be the last two, Roy.

Selected NJ's beaches will be open beginning today and continuing next Friday, allowing visitors , who had been banned for several weeks of late. One particular proviso that intrigues me is that beachgoers are not allowed to go into the water . Huh? Educate me, oh wise men of MTJ , how is that helpful against the spread of Coronavirus ? I thought water was cleansing .

Additionally, restrooms will be opened , once again, and cleaned thoroughly during the day. Well, that much is progress, isn't it.

My best guess is that's because there will not be any lifeguards present.

No lifeguards on duty. People in this part of the woods have decided that the virus is over. Lots of them out and about.
