Re:
Pot like booze, influence/change people's brains/minds to make irresponsible and unhealthy decisions.

Look at booze, the barrooms are mobbed until they were closed, with people that could not just stay home and get boozed up, they need to go out and get boozed up 'in 'atmosphere; irresponsibly disregarding the possibility of contracting the c virus--- as well as other viruses and unwanted pregnancies.

Who knows, at least not me, the POT partying that is going on. Sharing the dope bongs so they can feel like they are "cool"

Companies that have no physical product cnd continue to operate as their Leverage is more balanced than those that have physical products.
The bolded is false if by consumer you mean investors like you and I.

I can see that too. But...I think it will work and further I do think that the government will not tolerate it not working. It will simply tell the medical industry they are going to have to deal with it and we are all heading back to normal life. Honestly I won't be disposed to sit at home any longer after 30 days.

But, today it was reported that South Korea had less than 90 new cases. Their peak of 900 new cases came on February 26th. So in two weeks of "severe" measures they largely got it under control.

I also feel like within 60 days we will have a drug or a treatment to make it not so severe.

People don’t get the long term effect of this. This isn’t just a 2 week shut down. Already tired of these happy smiling face pics of privileged people on Facebook that are outlined with that stupid ‘stay home’ app thing. Yeah easy for them as they sit on their ass and get paid while many don’t. I’m in the same boat as them in that I am getting paid still to work from home but how long will this go on for ? I bet their calmness and happy relaxed pictures end real fast if their employer decides to cut them because there’s less work and less money to go around.

My kids drove me nuts yesterday and it was day 1 of them being home. It’s not their fault of course but homeschooling and entertaining a 3 and 5 yr old while trying to work from home and keep the house somewhat in order is no small task. But I’m not supposed to talk about that I guess because we’re trying to save lives.

Libraries are closed. My kids hockey, gymnastics, dance class, swim class all closed. Going anywhere with people is basically not allowed. I think people who are saying families should just enjoy this time together are naive. Unfortunately my kids will be having more screen time than I’d like but I can’t entertain them 24/7 which is what they need at their ages. Kids need structure at these ages.

People who don’t have kids won’t understand, they don’t have as much responsibility.

Anyone who is working in a restaurant, hotel or doing construction is not happy to be home and save the world from coronavirus.

Maybe it’s time to lower the standards for getting jobs in healthcare.

My 5 year just said wait when does school start again? Lol. Don’t know.

now is not a time to have such a narrow minded view. There are greater forces than your personal situation at stake.

Um I don’t work in any of those industries and I still feel bad these for these folks. I’m one of the ones getting paid as I sit at home with my kids. But thanks.

Stop going to restaurants and pot parties to lessen the possibilities of contracting the virus
The only reason one goes to a restaurant or bar rooms or Pot parties is to show other people how happy a person you are. To fulfil some psychosociological need only a professional psychologist could explain in further details.

Stay home and get drunk and or potted up. Say home and eat.

I thought the main reason to go to a restaurant was to eat food. I guess I've been doing it wrong this whole time.
