There will be no 2nd SHUTDOWN per TRUMP! Ya.........think? Won't be much of anything after the 1st!

Somehow I doubt the antimalarial drug boxes have COVID-19 related warnings on them...

That’s funny. You mean don’t take it you have covid 19? I like the drug that’s for regulating your heart rate with heart problems. It’s says don’t take if you’re pregnant. If you have heart failure you shouldn’t be pregnant. Some things are common sense, right?

Why can't women with heart trouble get pregnant?

None that you know about of course because you have tested all 300 for antibodies? I guess we all get our "fact" out..............

Oh sure we had some hits on guys who've had it. Guess where they caught it from..... their own families, at home, just before the lock down, according to tracing. About 21 or so. We shut down initially just like everyone else. Then phone started ringing and we were requested to "fill in" providing maintenance and major repair where needed when regular workers failed to be present or when the work was beyond their capability. We assembled the groups of guys. In heavily infected areas we quarantined within our own crews. Rented blocks of rooms. In some areas trailers were used. Hired our own cleaning crews. Had food prepared and brought in. Testing has been on a regular schedule. If anyone even thought they didn't feel right, they stayed out for a few days and then tested. If we were going to get it or give it, it was going to be someone in our group. This is nothing new to many of our group. We've worked all over the world in all kinds of environments, with risk of exposure to other "bugs".

We've relaxed things quite a bit over time and are resuming normal operations... back to previous projects that got pushed aside since they were far less critical. Still have be vigilant and follow proper practices.

So this is the last dance. It's been fun and informative debating with you. We'll have to start up a NASCAR thread to keep the banter going.

So Trump says churches are essential. About time. The press freaked out. I got an idea let’s have our service at the grocery store. We can push each other around in carts. It’ll be holy rolling. Give me a break, he said it was the last day. I may cuss someone out for good measure. I bet you can’t guess who.

I’m living a normal life with just minor precautions. It’s a shame you’re ending this thread when every other day we get another oil change thread. People don’t have to click on it. I realize this is a truck site. It’s nice to be able to discuss other things that really matter, with out browsing multiple sites. I thought my answer to GB was very reasonable and it’s gone. I’m disappointed and may go the way of this thread. Doesn’t matter I know. Cheers.

This thread is a pain in the ass to moderate. Y'all call each other names, then somebody runs off and reports that someone is name calling. Or some political thing comes up that makes someone butt hurt. I don't care which side of the aisle your ass is sittin' on. Honestly, you don't get enough of it all day long on radio and TV, you have to bring it here too? This thread wins the prize for complaints. If we don't moderate it, then this place turns into GMFS, a free for all.

Most of you seem unable to make good points without throwing some personal insult in or make unnecessary jabs. Yep some good points in some posts have been lost because they got deleted.

Again there is a reason the Admins specifically have rules against certain topics.

Warnings have been given out and the thread goes out of whack again on a regular basis.

Make ya a deal. The thread will stay open through Memorial Day

Which is a good idea, other things to discuss besides Covid.

This thread will stay live through Memorial Day

Oh, Chase is my hero for flipping off Busch. He should have won that race.

Agree on both points, the "international you are number one salute" was awesome!!!

The Busch brothers are pretty much punks all the way around.

Well you’re right it’s probably run it’s course. If I’m threatening and have to be reported or my response gets deleted. It’s time for me to go. I never even had to go to the principals office in high school. Back to oil change threads.

The thread may have run it's course, but the subject will run until a vaccine. People should leave their personal feelings out of forums and usually it's enough to keep Mods out. Hard to do though when a subject impacts all, differently.
