Well, experts say that microwaving the food for about 15 seconds should kill the virus if it's present.

we never stopped.
Oh. I guess acting like an idiot makes you a macho man.
Nah I had it early, still have anti-bodies, I chose not to live in fear and not let our government kill small businesses for the sake of big box chains.

Hello T. A. Gardner,
The economic and social damage done by fighting WWII was immense. Restrictions were imposed on the American people that drastically affected their lives. Many food items became unavailable as the nation strove to feed troops overseas. Front yards became 'Victory Gardens.' Gasoline and tires were in limited supply. Ration tickets were issued which were needed to make those purchases. Pennies were minted in steel to save copper for wiring of planes and radio equipment. The prices of some things skyrocketed. Some people resisted the measures and cheated on the rules. They were punished.
This is a different kind of war. The front is everywhere. We are all in the fight. It takes all of us.
This is a war between humans and a bug.
It is only understandable that some people will disagree on what to do about it. The fact is this bug attacks humans and kills them, but it is insidious because, though it may spread rapidly from human to human, it does not cause symptoms in most of those infected. This allows it to spread further and find victims who will succumb to it.
If all humans did as much as possible to cut personal contact, the pandemic would not be able to spread. But it is not possible to completely cut off personal contact, so it must be limited as much as possible.
Naturally, we all understand this is a huge impact into people's personal lives. It falls upon each of us to decide how to react to the situation. Will people think more of their nation or themselves...
Some will go maximum. Do everything to limit contact.
Others will refuse to change their habits.
Some who go maximum will still get infected and die from one little slip-up.
Others who refuse to do anything will luck out and not be affected at all.
And we will see everything in between.

Try that with your head.
Your forgot Amazon.
Indeed, amazon, apple, google, big online retailers..... they shut down the mom and pop ace hardware stores but let home depot remain open.
Then remember, they shut down and killed all these small businesses said gyms etc could not open up until the infection rate dropped below 1%, then as soon as biden is elected, they are opening shit up everywhere at 15%+ infection rate. nobody cares to explain that shit.
My daughter says it is because CA is full of anti-maskers who break the rules.
Like Governor Newsom and Nancy Pelosi?
How does she explain the Red states with lower numbers of cases per 100,000 residents? Having no mandatory Magic Mask rules, presumably their Magic Masking compliance rates should be lower.

Just How Tough Was World War II Rationing? Very!
"A look back on sacrifices Americans made in support of a common effort:
Faced with the coronavirus, Americans have been asked to remain inside our homes, wash our hands and maintain a distance of six feet from others. During World War II, Americans were asked to make do with less of everything from gasoline to sugar to toothpaste. How tough was the rationing in World War II? Very. Take a look back at these sacrifices Americans made in support of a common effort.
President Franklin Roosevelt created the Office of Price Administration in August 1941. Its main responsibility was to place a ceiling on prices of most goods to prevent wartime price gouging, and to limit consumption by rationing.
Everyone, including children, was issued a ration book, each of which had a certain number of rationing points per week. Meat and processed foods, vital for soldiers abroad, had high points. Fresh fruit and vegetables had no points. It was a complex system that the U.S. drafted cartoonist Chuck Jones to explain on film. Here, this schoolboy had his first experience using War Ration Book Two.
Supplies such as gasoline, butter, canned milk and sugar were rationed so they could be provided for the war effort. Many people got three gallons of gas a week. The people here were standing in line for sugar, the first and last commodity that was rationed. The allocation was half a pound a week, half of what Americans typically consumed.
Just as the Twitter hashtag #stayhome is designed to encourage people to practice social distancing — and feel good about doing it —rationing posters provided a sense of patriotism and a link to efforts at home for those serving overseas.
Armies travel on their bellies. Although the federal government was promoting increased production of food, it also encouraged curtailing food waste. Citizens were told to eat their leftovers and “lick their plate clean."
Mechanized warfare requires plenty of gasoline and oil. Civilians were asked to dress warmly in order to preserve oil and fuel for military transportation purposes.
Rationing gasoline and other fuels kept energy-hungry tanks and battleships running. The government urged people to cut down on anything that strained fuel resources — even taking long showers.
Scrap drives were a common way people could provide for the war effort. Contributing rags, rubber, paper or metal could help the government build airplanes and other equipment needed to fight the war.
The first nonfood item rationed was rubber, because many of Asia’s rubber plantations were under Japanese control. President Roosevelt asked citizens to help by contributing old tires, rubber raincoats, garden hoses, shoes and bathing caps. Millions of discarded tires covered over 100 acres at this Midwest recovery plant.
...
The U.S. Treasury offered a series of war bonds citizens could purchase to invest in the country and, ideally, one’s own financial future. A $25 war bond could be purchased for $18.75. The government would use the money to pay for military equipment. After about 10 years the bond could be redeemed for $25, a nearly 3 percent average annual return.
Public school children in Chicago purchased $263,148.83 in war bonds and stamps. The campaign concluded with a rally in Washington Park. The large check represented enough money for 125 jeeps, two pursuit (fighter) planes and a motorcycle."

Hello Bull&Terrier,
Perception is one thing. Reality may be another.
California has plenty of conservatives. It's a big State. Conservatives may be the minority, but there are millions of them.
Even with a concerted effort from most people, it only takes a relatively small number to cause the virus to spread. COVID-19 depends on any human contact to spread. Workers can become infected by coworkers and customers, not even know it. School children can become infected by other children and show no symptoms. Asymptomatic individuals can spread the disease to others without ever knowing they have done so, even if they hold an attitude that the precautions are silly and they have not personally been inconvenienced. Deaths may result and the points of contact may never be known.

No problem. I'd call it in and you'd go without electrical power. Can't see it from my house.

Hello Bull&Terrier,
No. There are people in LA County who vote Democratic, but because of the constraints of their lives, are unable to go into seclusion. Even following all the guidelines is no guarantee. It's easy for transmission to occur. If you don't have a car, and you ride the bus to work, you're going to be in close proximity with others. Masks are more effective in protecting others than oneself. 10 people wearing paper masks on a bus could be infected by one person who refuses, or wears it sloppily, or uses an ineffective cloth mask just to comply. Then they go home to a large family and, before they even know they have been infected, the entire family is infected.

That all makes sense and works for me. I have far, far more concerns about some of the places I go to do service work than I do about catching Chinese Disease. Last week one apartment complex I was at (they look like they're converted older condo's), as I approached the one I was going to a large silver-grey pit bull charged me. Standing still he didn't bite but that was a more immediate issue than wearing a mask--which probably would have incited the animal further--or catching Chinese Disease was.
Not the first or last time I'll face that. But I am more concerned about something like that than catching something.
Don't worry. You are a dime a dozen. Obviously.
to me it sounds like a shit ton of excuse making, I remember when people were saying those in FL and red states deserved it because of their behavior. CA has managed the virus like idiots and newsome gets a pass by most on the left. why is that?
