N.E. Brigand Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 From last night's TV special: I saw Bocelli in concert when he first became an international sensation back in the 1990s. It was an arena show, but I lucked into some excellent seats on the floor. The show alternated between him performing two or three songs and his accompanying orchestra performing an overture alone. He and they were excellent. But what I remember most is that not far in front of me was an older gentleman who was drunk and would periodically shout, often incoherently, but not during the first part of the William Tell overture, when he yelled "Boring!"

Going to start researching. Maybe the expensive 3M AC filters? Edited April 19, 2020 by keystone3ply addition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally will not be supporting the WHO in any way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was great but not ONCE did anyone mention the unemployment rate or those affected by it. The single mother waitress out of work with two kids to feed. The real workers of America who don't have the luxury of telecommuting from their mid-town Manhattan apartment. Guess we aren't - all - in this together. OC Greg. They don't want anyone to think about the unemployment and the actual destruction going on for the people who do not have the luxury to WORK from HOME. As usual they all live and speak from a bubble. I did not watch because I refuse to acknowledge that the WHO is still in existence after all of this. All in this together is relative when you are in the luxury to ignore the real suffering.

The WHO has done good work in the past, but when push-came-to-shove they revealed themselves to be a SHILL for the Chinese Communist regime. I yelled at my T.V. like old people do when Tedros Adhanom appeared. Not a huge fan of "the Donald" but I'm glad he cut them off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not vote for the orange man but glad someone cut them off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimF-LowBari Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 (edited) Thought on opening up parts of the country based on number of cases... To take a smaller section PA has 67 counties and Philly is max with 8700+ cases and three counties have 1 case each. Couple hour drive but can see the less effected places getting hit bad if people move around without testing. Seeing how this is asymptotic we need testing before everyone starts mixing together.

JohnZ Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 um, hi. just checking on on y'all, making sure you don't need anything..... help with your homework? a mask? a conversational nudge in the right direction? m'kay, just let me know..... On a more semi- on topic note, I am pleased to report that I was not furloughed and am on the 'ride-out' team at work for the duration of this mess. I much rather work than sit at home on unemployment+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
