Coronavirus:

Doylestown = D’town. The rest 2 people per room.

I barely remember that hospital.........

He forced covid positive seniors to stay in nursing homes. Not allowing them in hospitals increased the spread through out nursing homes. Thats not a very smart way to protect the elderly.

You certainly have established a talent for injecting the negative into a conversation.

Let me try and make it joyful. Governor Coumo helped aide 1000's of people. He helped in their journey to meet their maker. By allowing them to live with infected people. He gave them a golden ticket toward the pearly gates.
From the beginning experts said " Elderly and people with underlying conditions are higher risk". 6 northeast governors formed a pack to handle covid. a think tank. All six of these governors denied assisted living patients hospital care. They had to stay put and receive care where the lived. when called on the carpet. not one of these governors will answer what fueled the decision.

Who does? It has a helicopter crew. Valet parking, traffic lights and an ever growing footprint.

You're the best, bro.

We can only hope what goes around comes around!

Pennsylvania inter scholastic athletic association. Voted to allow fall sports. In defiance of governor wolf’s recommendation to cancel fall sports. They voted 25-5 for a fall high school season. Districts may Opt-out without penalty. Districts choosing to cancel fall sports may have a spring season of fall sports.

Athletic associations usually make money from every game that is played and even more from tournaments so they, the associations,
must have the games played.

Some have pointed out that politicians and pharmacy companies only care about the money involved.
I see athletics (sports) as being the same.

Ditto!

My guess would be that the PIAA does not want to defend lawsuits against a shutdown. Leave that up to the local school district. Now the ball is in every superintendent's hand. Parents are lined up to sue. Many claiming their kid will lose athletic scholarship money.

It still goes back to money.

[robert.]

Yeah you're right. back to money. Lots of students will need that scholarship. No easy answers with any of this. Everybody is only thinking day to day. Its hard to map out a long term plan. To many variables . Life is still moving forward and we need to plan for the future.Yet we cant format one. Fear and anger set in. Everywhere you turn people are lashing out at one and other. All this with no end in sight

I have to agree with you, there, Robert, except that around here I have noticed people in our community finding ways of being copacetic and pleasant toward each other, and working things out, almost as a team. However, when one looks at nearby large cities, it becomes a different, far less freindly, atmosphere and reality.

Making generalities isn't really necessary, and I'm not sure they are particularly helpful or valid. I take the days one at a time, as I do the people, as individuals, one at a time.

IMO , Gov. Cuomo has been so good at what he has done, to date, regarding the Covid19 arrival in NYC as well as all of NY state, being a good listener , insisting on facts, listening while planning, making judgments when he had plenty of expert advice , self-controlled, non-theatrical in his actions , and seemingly not focused on adoration from anybody and everybody with a heartbeat, and ready to take qualified action when warranted and helpful, that I found myself wishing, all along, that he would be running , now, for President.

I'm serious in my considered opinion . Perhaps, it will have a place here.

It seems you also have a gift for satire!

I was offering my honest opinion.
However, since I realize there are numerous voices on this forum who know far better than I about such matters, I make my statement and look forward to being further informed, have my understanding expanded, and, perhaps , even enlightened.
(No satire or sarcasm in that reply.)
