Found this graphinc on how long the virus lives on a surface.  The article discussed that higher temp and humidity shortens the life of the virus whereas colder temps lengthen the life

There is an obscene amount of gun violence in my neighborhood here in Oakland. Just the other night three people were shot about a block or so from my house. My wife, daughter, and I were rudely awakened by the sound of 20-30 shots fired in rapid succession.

So yeah... I welcome this type of legislation.

I’m pretty sure the laws already put in place prevents everyone of them shooters your talking about from even holding a gun. Do you honestly think the gang members will give up there guns if this law was put in place? Honestly?

I empathize with Alex B and his situation, but it is a no win situation.  I too would be extremely upset and concerned if my neighborhood had someone or more likely a group of people fire off 20 to 30 rounds.  Mojo does make a very valid (and the same point that is a big part of this discussion).   
Now if it was Alex firing off 30 rounds at someone breaking into his home, then he should be able to do so. 
Passing a law will never stop the actions that occurred in the neighborhood.  And arming and allowing people to carry firearms would not either.  Sad but true.

Reports are there is a tiger in the Bronx zoo that has coronavirus.

My 2 primary suspects are Joe Exotic and Carole Baskin   

Laughable that people think a privilege is a right when it is taken away from them. 

my 2 cents....

this is for the majority and not the minority that rely on fishing as a necessity to feed your family.


"We" are all sounding like a bunch of spoiled kids who were told they can't play with a toy for a few minutes.

My Grandparents went through the Great Depression and World War II.  Try living then where everything was rationed.

To think that we are so soft that we can't handle being told that we need to sacrifice what for the vast majority of us is a recreational activity for the greater good and health of those around us is pathetic.

I don't care how you "feel" or if you think it is your "right" to do whatever you want to do.  Find a new hobby at home until this blows over.

The first case in the US was reported on January 20, 2020 in the State of Washington.  (10 weeks ago)


Today's numbers from the CDC are 214,482 case and 5,094 deaths in the US. 

So I agree, it is not spreading like a wildfire.

Healthcare professionals are literally using the fire analogy to describe whatÂ’s going on in this country right now. The media is simply listening and reporting what they hear from healthcare professionals (i.e. doing their jobs).

See quote from Ray Yip in the Associated Press article linked below. Ray is a friend of the family - he worked with my (now deceased) father in law at the CDC. When he speaks about this type of matter, I trust what he says.

My point was that it is spreading faster than a wildfire.  This is a world wide pandemic and anyone that wants to minimize this today is definitely not paying attention to reality (this is a general statement mot pointed at anyone in particular.   )

looks like an april fools joke
